One follow up point to something last night I posted.

Parvati had the episode last season during the switch. Amanda confirmed the couples' alliance mentioning Parvati at the beginning, the viewer knows Parvati's position. Ozzy trusts Parvati completely. Then the swicth separates her and it is visually set up to be seen. She lost the strength in numbers. Later, the lip scene, whatever.

Now, turn to Chapter 1, verse 6 in your handbooks from the CL Church of Edgic (TM)and think about the job the editors did there. The audience is reminded that Parvati can't play with the couple's alliance, and in the end, she changed her game and formed the successful all female alliance instead. And the Ozzie quote pays dividends when she conspires against him later. That was a dangling quote that had legs beyond the current story. It was something to note for later. Parvati's edit, even in quiet episodes, still furthered her story. Classic editing tricks, and ones Edgic saw immediately.

Compare that to Corrine. Not restated as an onion, not once by any SPV or by herself. No mention of her situation of being picked. Nothing to see down the road that was in the show, unless the "only girl" line bears fruit. Whatever the decision, there is less to hang onto, particularly compared to the "doubt" of Marcus as a leader concerned inserted at the exact moment when Corrine doesn't get the same type of care. That's why it is an issue. INV/UTR is less important than lack of meaningful cues. Should they target the girls and Susie goes, maybe that was the purpose. But Charlie retstates being an onion, when she doesn't get it. That's concerning, or disconcerting. Take your pick.

I haven't voted yet this season, but I would have voted her UTR for no better reason than I remembered her. It had nothing to do with driving her story forward or her sentence count. To me the distinction between UTR1 and INV is subjective - do I remember her after the first viewing?

I can't disagree with that. For me, it was the opposite. I watched a second time and completely could not recall anything Corrine said the first time. I watched a last time to rate and again forgot that Corrine spoke until the scene came up. Some noted she spoke at camp, and I still can't tell you where. Hence how I rated. That's fair in rating it as you did as well.

What hit me last season was Ozzy trusting Parvati completely (a stronger term than he gave Amanda!). It had no bearing when they split later the same episode, so I felt that had to carry over sometime down the road. Here, I got none of that vibe from Corrine that anything leads to something bigger.

But hey, I hope you don't feel I implied you were wrong, I didn't mean to. I just rate how I see it, and then see how far out where the buses don't run I am.
