I agree on the grammar issue. I don't see anymore blindsides. I do, however, see a Parvati meltdown coming at the final tribal council when confronted by James and Ozzy on her backstabbing.
Amanda looks to me like a lock to win this thing if it is an Amanda/Parvati/Cirie final three (which is looking fairly certain, since they seem pretty tight - and it makes sense - Parvati is loyal to her best friend, Cirie believes her strategic game will win her the prize, and Amanda feels she has the jury votes locked up (she does). My guess is that Amanda wins the final IC and it's a no brainer to boot Natalie.
Here's how I see the jury votes going down with an Amanda/Cirie/Parvati final three:
Eliza - Amanda (she hates Parvati, has relished Amanda's gameplay, and probably still feels somewhat betrayed by Cirie's flipping on her alliance early in the game)
Ozzy - Amanda (this one is a no brainer)
Jason - Amanda (idolizes Ozzy and will have drunk the koolaid after spending so much time at Ponderosa with the other Amanda voters; he'll respect Amanda's more physical gameplay than the other two, and he doesn't seem to have really bonded with Parvati or Cirie either)
James - Amanda (never bonded with Cirie, and is still totally pissed at Parvati's betrayal, whereas Amanda was always loyal to him)
Alexis - a toss up among any of the three, but probably Parvati (since she most closely bonded with Parvati and will feel some gratitude for her alliance with Parvati getting her as far as she got; unless she votes based on gameplay, in which case it goes to Amanda)
Erik - Amanda (he never seemed to bond with the other two and will feel Amanda is most deserving - plus it puts him in good standing with his idol, Ozzy)
Natalie - a toss up among any of the three, but probably Parvati (same reasons as Alexis)
Personally, I feel Amanda has played the best game, physically and socially, and deserves to win. Cirie did a great job in manipulating the game during several key votes (Yau Man, Ozzy, Erik) and has a good argument for the win, but I doubt the jury will recognize it. (If Amanda wasn't in the final three, Cirie would be the easy winner.) She could pull off a second place finish with a strong jury speech though. Parvati has a good argument too but she'll breakdown in the final TC when James/Ozzy go after her for her betrayal and will likely poison the jury against her.
Kudos to you. Couldn't have said it better myself and EXACTLY what I have been thinking.
