^ Craig has made it clear that between Eliza and Parvati, he prefers Parvati (Such a low blow to say that in Eliza's thread, I know, sorry Craig) Ironically, I think it's because Eliza alligned with Parvati's nemesis that Craig tipped the scales in Parv's favor actually.
Actually I think I'd click with Eliza much better in real life.
It's just that Parvati and Cirie played the strategy I was hoping for in S16 and that I thought would lead to a girl finally winning.
Yes, my animus against Jonathan is mostly because of what he did to Candice and Parvati in S13, and otherwise he's a cool guy in lots of ways. Jonanthan > Shane as a Survivor character and person.
However, I think Randy would be more popular around here if he was being a grouch to girls like Danielle or Parvati. But his enemies were Crystal and Sugar, both Sucks favorites (who I don't care for). Sucks hated Raro and loves Fang for some odd reason
Regarding Social Game
Let's look at the facts. Randy got into the majority alliance at the beginning (Matty, Dan, Susie). He bonded more closely with Kota than anyone else switched. He leaves the game on good terms with Marcus, Charlie, Corinne, Randy, and Matty. We don't know why Sugar hates him so, they were hardly together. Sugar took Jonathan role at the food auction, as the person who just turned on their tribe and then becomes obnoxious to the betrayed minority.
It's not like Randy mutinyed on two alliances. It's not like Fang hates Randy so much they threatened Marcus with jury votes and got Kota to boot him. Nobody on Kota said Randy was "an obnoxious force" the way Sundra did. And Cirie vs Jonathan in S16 reminds me a bit of Crystal vs Randy, except Cirie is way nicer.
Jonathan and Randy both bonded with some, but have a way of repelling others. Eliza alligning with Jonathan made it hard to bring in Cirie the needed swing vote. The same way Charlie alligning with Corinne and Randy made it hard to bring in Sugar at the merge.
