Did Joel say something in the reunion about his "edit"? That kinda caught me off guard

Parmanda as a known pair?
Actually I thought editing tried to hide them, which made me suspicious. You don't see a lot of P\A together early on. Amanda is hidden with a UTR edit. Parv\James and Ozzmanda are emphasized. They had to show the F3 deal with Cirie to explain the ep.3 boot. Then at the merge Amanda is "livid" at Parvati. People forget that implicit there (and in Parv including Amanda in the deal) is a strong partnership. They were like a TAR team quarelling. Then after the Ozzy boot everyone assumed Amanda was on the outs. |

I found Parvati likable, mostly because she didn't lose her mind when things looked dire. She was giggling in confessional about making all those
alliances. I loved her attitude to going to EI - it's a mini-vacation. She had enough courage and trust in her allies to risk being the target of
Erik's vote in his blindside ep. And I especially liked her jury performance. She owned her game and didn't make apologies.
From the first five minutes of last night's show, any fears I'd had melted. She was the star of the recap!! |

^^^ Ya, she was the star of the recap. Todd was the clear star of the China finale recap as well. Maybe it's something to look into if Edgic isn't
completely sure who the winner is going into the finale.

I noticed the Parvocentric recap.
The Vanuatu recap gave away Chris\Twila F2 and ruined my hopes for Eliza. Other confirming moments: When Parv climbed the tree Ozzy-like and knocked down a ton of coconuts. When Amanda and Cirie had their fight after TC. |

Another great Edgic season and congrats to all who selected Parvati, although I view Edgic as people presenting cases for how different players could win and
watching it unfold, like working as a team. Sorry I have not posted much, my last rating I was drunk and gave Alexis a CP in her boot episode and Amanda a N

WAY TO GO EDGIC!

Shocking, Edgic takes credit for a Parvati victory and claims no spoilers influenced them.
Parvati had an awful edit all season, disappeared for most of the game, reappeared at the merge and then watched Cirie do her work. Edgic should have picked Cirie, NOT Parvati. But because spoilers had her going far, she was getting the same "Amanda wins" spoiler pick like last time. Except this time Parvati didn't have to face her biggest competition. Congrats to those for reading spoilers and "edgically" picking Parvati! Looking forward to next season for ANOTHER spoiled Edgic pick. |

I do think that in s16 the recaps were a true warning flare for the winner. The classic was Oz's departure. The episode itself showed Cirie making the
intial mention of it on her EI foray, then bringing it up with others, saying don't tell Amanda, then doing her best to convince Parv. We saw Parv truly
struggle over the decision, but she came down on the side of ousting Oz.
Yet in the Recap Cirie wasn't even mentioned (And, interestingly, on the NEXT ep's recap they re-recapped the Oz boot and mentioned both Cirie and Parv!) So yes. In this case we were told what was more important, and it led up perfectly to Oz's emotional comments to Parv at the FC. (And to those who said that the great Cirie edit led up to making sure she got the 100K "favorite survivor" money.... she wasn't even in the top 3. ETA: RobVanStratus, LOL. From what I gather there were no Parv picks, so you are full to overflowing with rich and smelly crap. Not only was I totally unspoiled, I don't particularly like Parvati. But I picked her long ago, at merge-time. Like Chris (who I also picked unspoiled), there were some UTRs in a row. So what? You find the best fit for the edgic rules and go with that, personal feelings be damned. Like others here, I find it astonishing that people dislike edgic so much. I hate spoilers, but the thought of going to a spoiler board and try and throw whiny little stinkbombs into their sandbox is ridiculous.

After rewatching Thursday's Ep, I stand by my 4 for Amanda--she had a lot of face time at the Reward, and some choice quotes, and was probably the
biggest factor in Erik's bonehead decision--though it's a weak 4, so...

For Ep 13 Cirie - I gave her a Mixed, and stand by it. The whole episode seemed like a Giant M to me.

I'm pretty sure the F3 will be back considering Cirie lost becuase there was a F2. I think the lesson from this is that they will mix up F3/F2 so that nobody can plan specifically for either one. Though I still wonder if it was going to be
F3, foiled by James' late departure.
So really, the editors have to appeal to multiple demographics. Give us wholesome, upbeat, likeable winners like Earl and Sandra. Sandra was likeable? That's funny, mostly I remember an outspoken, in-your-face woman who was always bitching about someone.
I still think Parvati is one of the least negative of the villain winners. Some people seem to be predisposed to dislike Parvati being a young cute female willing to use her feminine charms to get ahead. Aside from the flirty moves, she really wasn't all that negative. She was smart, she was committed, and she was very strategic. I think she gets a bad rap because she is a woman making those moves. I do agree, and believe me, Parvati was my very LEAST favorite person in S13 AND the one "fave" I thought "Godawmighty, why HER?" about.
But, I respect her game and she managed to plant a bunch of landmines while avoiding others'.
They even replayed Parvati and Alexis' complete opening confessionals as a way of explaining the season. Oka-a-yy... so, from here on we should just watch the first segment of the first episode and then go find a nice video game to wile away the time until the Finale. Lol. Time to nominate GimG as the OFFICIAL recap watchdog--specifically noting differences in how given events are portrayed one week to the next. "What in the nickoledeon was that?",
So do you think that if a know pair makes it to the Final 2/3 next season, it should be a rule that known pairs will likely make the Finals No, the Known Pair is dead in the water. It has "proven" in both directions, so it has a statistical correlation of zero (approximately). Just
scrap it altogether (along with other "Final 2" references since that, too, is no longer a given. Change it to "finals" if you must.
I think the producers may actually WANT a tied final vote. They opened up the door in the past few seasons with a final three and this season, they made it even more likely to happen with a final 2 and 8 jurors. Rather than it just being a coincidence or something they are fearing, they seem to be trying for it. To me, that suggests that they have some amazing tiebreaker procedure that they have thought up that would be great TV, but none of us have figured it out yet. I was thinking they would do a challenge with the jurors or make the jurors vote one of their own out before the actual final TC. I just can't buy this--I think it would be very disappointing to viewers to have someone make it all this way, only to lose *at the Reunion*. It really needs to be resolved while the game is still "in play" (probably for legal reasons, on top of "viewer satisfaction" reasons).
YAY for seeing S17! Many of us weren't sure if S16 might be the last, and I never did hear of Probst's renewing his contract (still haven't--might there be a different host?)
