7 years ago we were in WDW for the finale'.... my DH and DSs made me leave Disney Studios and our plans for Fantasmic, just to go back to our room and watch the finale'! LOL

 

[goofy's friends]

But that is only part of the game. She is terrible at the rest.

I disagree. She outwits for sure! But she has also outplayed and outlasted! And that's all without immunity! I would love to see her win, but also think Amanda deserves it. If Amanda doesn't win immunity, I think she will be out next.

 

[cats mom]

If Amanda doesn't win immunity, I think she will be out next.

Unfortunately I'm afraid you might be right. Personally I'd rather see the supposed A-C-P alliance boot Natalie, but I don't think that's the smartest move for either Cirie or Parvati, and I'm sure they both realize it.

But I hope either we're both wrong, or that Amanda does manage to get immunity, because I'd really like to see her win it all.

I actually did feel a little sorry for Erik. I think he probably was the biggest Survivor fan there, but in a starstruck way, not a student of the game way. That certainly did not serve him well when it came to outwitting.
OK, so a bit of an understatement.

I know we all agree to disagree about Cirie on this thread (I happen to like her) and I see the point of the story that you think she doesn't do anything around camp. But just this week when they came back from Tribal and it was pitch black out somebody asked about a fire. Cirie said she'd make one and somebody said "in the dark?" and with that they showed her starting the fire what seemed like almost immediately. So if she really stinks around camp you would think that she would not have been able to make the fire at night. I always have to remind myself that this show is heavily edited - there is SO much we don't see.

Anybody that takes Natalie and Parvati to the finals should beat them. Neither has made a bunch of friends. Should be a great night!

Marti, I couldn't agree with you more. I really don't understand the negativity towards Cirie. I get it if somebody just doesn't like her. But to say she doesn't do anything around camp and that she is lazy...I don't get. We really don't see enough of camp life to make that judgment. Honestly, the only person I can recall doing much of anything around camp was James and Ozzy. And same for challenges. Amanda hasn't won an individual immunity/reward challenge either. But nobody calls her lazy. And I would think if someone were that useless around camp/during challenges(ie Chet), the other survivors would complain about them and they would definitely make a point to show that to us during an episode.

Personally, I would like to see either Amanda or Cirie win. And I can't wait for the finale. Does anyone know...is it a 3 hour finale? I really hope they eliminate the torch remembrance/memory walk. That is the cheesiest thing ever. I always change the channel when they do that.

I cant stand the walk either....boring....yeah it is a 2 hr finale with a 1 hour reunion show...

I must say survivor has not been as entertaning the past couple seasons as it once was but this season is really making up for it...this is one of the best seasons to date....I did hate to see james got the way he did....he was my fav....I am pulling for Amanda now....Cirie may be a bit lazy at camp but she has been the ring leader on almost everything and is alot smarter than she gets credit for....

Also eric is a friggin idiot....welcome to manhood Eric it wont be the last time you get played by a woman....sucker

 

[dolphindan1]

That is a good point about Erik. Sometimes I forget he and his old tribemates are supposed to be "superfans." A number of them acted like they'd never seen an episode of Survivor before.

I was also wondering why Parvati didn't look for the idol. That seemed like an arrogant move on her part, like she's feeling too secure in her position. Well, we all know what happened to Ozzy when he started feeling too comfortable in his spot.

Sunday should be interesting! If Amanda takes Natalie and Parvati to the final TC I think she'd win hands down. If Amanda doesn't win, I hope Cirie does because I like her strategic gameplay, and I don't like Natalie or Parvati much.

She was secure enough. She knew this was the only tribal council she could play it and she knew no matter waht it was Eric or Nat...why waste the energy...Cirie is running things and Parv its in her pocket....

 

[tinatark]

I really don't like Cirie - she is a lazy last-part-of-a donkey's butt! She was shown on tv saying she is "saving her energy" for the challenges... why? So she can lose?! Her entire attitude just irritates me!

I am hoping Amanda/Pavarti win - they're the least of the remaining evils.

It is true that Amanda hasn't won challenges either but she does play. The effort put forth by Cirie is miniscule at best. I'm of the opinion that she has outlasted people because people want to keep her around. They feel they can make a case that they have played a better all around game than Cirie.

Remember Cirie used the same strategy last time and didn't win.

If memory serves me correct the season she was on they still only sent 2 people 2 the finale and the final 2 wanted no part of Cirie in the Finale....if they had done 3 like they have done recently she would have be. I think a Unanimous winner....She is very likeable and she knows physically she is not gonna win any challengers so she uses the mind game....just like she said at council...she is the puppet master.....She has played a great strategic game....many people have one doing exactly what she does....laying low and playing the ultimate game.... this game is not about winning challenges if so James would have won his season. Ozzy would have won this season, My girl Steph would have wone both her seasons....lots of Mental in this game.....although they have tried to make it more physical this season I think

You're right the game is not about winning just the challenges. I think there have been many more winners who have been strong at all aspects of the game than those who have played a game similar to Cirie.

 

[Metro West]

OK...so who do you think will win tomorrow night? I'm going with Amanda...I don't really like her but she's probably the best one left.

Natalie - out first if she doesn't win immunity

I guess they are doing the final three...not two?

Thoughts?

Well lets go back and look...

season 1 - Richard Hatch....maybe won a couple challenges but played the greatest mind game that has yet to be duplicated on Survivor...I think Cirie is close

Season 2 - Tina Wesson....won by mind game...i dont think she won a challnege

Season 3 - Ethan...won by being physical

season 4 - Vecapia....Dod she win a challenge, maybe 1 or 2.....she got lucky

Season 5 - Brain.....I honestly do not remember much about this guy....that tells me he was just likeable like amanda....although I am sure he won a few challenges....He won by being liked

season 6 - Jenna....won with her charm....I believe she may have won one or 2

season 7 - Sandra....most annoying winner ever....Played same game as Cirie...

Season 8 - Amber....you can thank Rob for this win...she did nothing

Season 9 - Chris....Physical

Season 10 - Tom....most physical winner and only leader type to ever win survivor...very rare this type player wins

season 11 - Danni...she was pretty physical one of the most physical women ever....2nd to Steph in my book

Saeson 12 - Aras....pretty physical

season 13 - Yul....physical but also he ran things and he had everyone doing what he wanted them to do

season 14 - Earl....eeehhh I really dont remember what type player he was

Season 15 - Todd.....Played a great strategy game won a couple challenges...

Season 16 - this season will be won by someone who really hasnt won anything either....

So lets see 15 seasons....6 winners won by being Physical, 3 won by having a balance of winning challenges and mind games or being liked, 5 won by rding coattails and playing mind games because they just were not physical....1 i really am not sure about

So there is no true method to win this game...You can win by being a leader and Physical and win everything like tom, or Like Tina and just ride coattails....This season winner will be a mind game winner, Do i want Cirie to win....I wont bother me if she does as she has outwitted and outplayed in her own way....So if she wins she will have earned it....Parvarti or Nat will not have....Amanda has played a solid balance but has fallen short on challenges she has won a couple but I want her to win.....I guess cause she is hot...

My thing about Cirie look at her does she look like she can be a physical force...against james, or Eric or Ozzy or Amanda or Nat...nope...so why should she kill herself if she can get to the finals how she playing....if i knew I couldnt win I would just save myself and work the mind game.....just like she is doing....

 

[dolphindan1]

OK...so who do you think will win tomorrow night? I'm going with Amanda...I don't really like her but she's probably the best one left.

Natalie - out first if she doesn't win immunity

I guess they are doing the final three...not two?

Thoughts?

I am pulling for Amanda but if she doesnt win Immunity they will get rid of her they tried last week....Ciri and Parv no they cant beat her so does Nat....If Amanda makes finals she wins if not then I say Cirie..she has played the mind game better than the rest...

Not to mention Amanda is nice to look at....

 

[4greatboys]

Season 12 - Aras....pretty physical

I'm still pouting Terry didn't win



I would to have seen him come back for the favorites.

 

[declansdad]

So lets see 15 seasons....6 winners won by being Physical, 3 won by having a balance of winning challenges and mind games or being liked, 5 won by rding coattails and playing mind games because they just were not physical....1 i really am not sure about

I gues were not going to agree on this one becaue most of the people you stated who won because they were physical<i think played an all-around game. They were not just physical. I would say that at least 10 winners played the game in that manner.

10 really....I guess we see it different....Like i said before some played the Physical side, some did both and some played the mental game....i agree you have to play all aspects of the game but some are Physical some are not....So me are not as physical but do win some challenges but play alot of mind games, some are a little more physical and play less mind games.....

Dont be mad at Cirie because she is playing the game the only way she thinks she can win....the other 3 girls left will beat her Physically and she knows it so she has to do what works for her......I love the physical game Steph and James are my favorite survivors ever, along with Rupert....but i also like seeing the Mental game too....Just like Cirie said at tribal if you cant beat them with these(arms) you can beat them with your mind....i dont see the issue....If you just dont like Cirie so be it but you cant complain about her game....it got her final 3 last time and final four at worst this time....She has outlasted, Ozzy, james, Eric and every other physical person on this season...so she has done something right

Why can't I complain about her game. I don't enjoy seeing someone do well that is not a strong player overall. Ozzy, James, and Eric are strong physical players but they lack the mental part of the game. Especially Eric.

 

[4greatboys]

Especially Eric.

I'm sorry I still can't believe he gave up immunity.
