If it weren't for Amanda and her challenge dominance, idol play and manipulation of Erik, we might have ended with this winner:
I can honestly say I'd much prefer Parvati as the winner =) |

I was just thinking of posting *waits for Ken to come in here and defend Amanda* lol. Fatlexis winning the game would be horrid (I'm not so sure she would
have won, though), but Parslutty winning wasn't great either. Both suck.
As for Chris, I ranked him this high because, the fact is, he did form the alliance and keep it going after he fucked up so badly on the balance beam. We all know what happened the last time two guys fucked up the balance beam in a battle of the sexes season. Sure, the alliance was already in the making, but he solidified it, and as the game progressed, he controlled it. |

SHALLOWNAGE ^___^
Although I'm not a huge Amanda fan, I honestly think she's underrated here and I really don't get why people hate her. |

Parsluty seething </3
A lot of the Amanda hate came right after China ended. She had been spoiled to win months before the season ended, and nearly every bootlist had her in the F3, so everyone jumped on the Amanda <3 ship, but after her miserable FTC performance and her loss to Todd and Courtney, it all backfired on her. I've never followed (order of elimination) spoilers in my life, so I found this out after the season ended, but what I can confirm is that when the Micronesia cast spoiling started (which I followed actively), Coby threw out Amanda's name, and so many people (including myself) thought she would be the one winner CBS snuck back. When people started hating on Amanda during the China-Micronesia offseason...yeah, that's when you saw a lot of hate for her (relatively to what people thought in China). And then some people started hating her in Micronesia, but that would be for very different reasons. |

I hate Amanda for her piss-poor whining and people's perceptions that she's a great player (when all it really was is that most females suck).
She's not an awful player, but she's not even good. The idol thing was all that she did well between both seasons, oh and I can't forget that she
beat the most inept people at challenges spanning the F5 and up. Beating Todd, Denise, Courtney, and Cirie isn't much of an accomplishment.

Well she did say her strategy was to put herself up against people she could physically compete against in the endgame. And if you watch the pre-merge
challenges, she does pretty well in them (the wooden ball in China, the wrestling in Micronesia).
As for spoilers, I didn't check them until the merge in China, and Amanda was already my favourite (coming of TARAS, I had beauty queen love), and the spoilers did say she was the winner, so I was kinda disappointed when she lost. But when it was announced that she was coming back for another season, I'm pretty sure I was one of the few people who was excited |

Well those challenges didn't really require you to be like Terry or Ozzy either.. The challenges she won herself were the second chance challenge in China
(throwing stars, eating, bouncing a ball, sword/puzzle), the great wall puzzle, balancing dishes, building a ladder in Micronesia and balancing a ball..
And you can't really base it on her competitors... think of the final 4 or 5 in Gabon with Bob, Susie, Sugar, Matty and Ken, where Matty didn't win anything, and immunity went to Bob and Susie. A win is a win, and it's just one of the few things that makes Amanda great =) |

Obv. she has her faults, most of which I agree with, but I still think she's a good well-rounded player. I think her flaws are exaggerated.

I don't think Amanda was a good player in Micronesia, at all. She admitted that she would have told Ozzy about his blindside if she had known. Amanda is an
idiot to want to go to the final 5 with the favorite's alliance, because there's no way she could have beaten any of them in a jury vote. And why would
she want to be going head-to-head with Ozzy in crucial end-game Immunity Challenges?
imo Amanda's intention the entire game was to go to the end with Ozzy and possibly James/Parvati. I don't believe anyone who claims that she wanted to go to the end with Cirie/Parvati over James/Ozzy. People also want to give credit to Amanda for Alexis' blindside, but I don't agree with that at all, either. Parvati got Amanda to vote Alexis out when Amanda wanted to boot Natalie instead. It would have been better for Amanda to boot Natalie because a) Parvati had Natalie wrapped around her finger and b) Alexis had a busted knee. Yet... she votes Alexis out like Parvati wanted. It was her idol and it should have been her decision, but she was clearly a push-over. Personality-wise I didn't really mind Amanda. She was a little whiney, but I liked her for the most part. Strategy wise I preferred her in China. |

What's wrong with calling the Sea Hag a fat bitch? Okay, she wasn't actually fat, but still, Alexis </3.
And I have to agree with Ken about Amanda, at least in China. I don't know exactly what her ideal endgame strategy in Micronesia was, only a relative idea. But yeah, in China, she tried to get down to the end with people who she could beat in challenges, and she clearly did that well because she went on a challenge run at the end. |

Okay, here are the next two. The two posters I was referring to (or two of their favorites, I should say) were ThaiSu and Ken. Here you go.

22. Kenny and Crystal convince Sugar to blindside her closest ally, Ace. Quote: "Blindside Ace." -Sugar Kiper Considering that this episode was a double boot, I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing it was. It was amazing largely because of this move. In the beginning of the episode, it seemed like Matty had overdosed on retardation medication. He decided to secure himself a spot for 8th place by aligning with Sugar and Ace. Nevertheless, this put Kenny and Crystal in the minority, and with both tribes going to tribal council, immunity wasn't even an option. The point is, even though Sugar was immune having both the necklace and the idol, Kenny and Crystal convinced her that Ace was lying to her. He wanted the idol to protect himself in the future, she now thought. So Sugar impressively took action and blindsided him. Still, though, it was impossible without the role Kenny/Crystal played; they planted the seeds of Ace's blindside and put the plan into action via Sugar. Reasons not higher: Sugar wanted to blindside him at some point because she was playing for America's sweetheart, not for the win.
21. Amanda blindsides James. Quote: "I'm not only ready to bite the apple, I am ready to make the whole fricking pie! " -Amanda Kimmel This was the fifth season that (a) HII(s) were part of the game, and the only thing we hadn't really seen happen was someone get voted out with one (or more, in this case). It was about time we saw it happen, though. Now would be the last chance to blindside James, and the beauty of it is, while Amanda and co. knew this, so did James. The Fei Long alliance really had to convince him that Peih Gee was going home, and that wasn't as easy as it sounds. She first told Courtney and then Todd and Denise, and no one blabbed, which is pretty impressive. There's not much else to it, but basically Amanda led her alliance to get rid of the most powerful person in the game. Reasons not higher: Todd did come up with this idea about a week ago, in all fairness. |

And to me, there's nothing that Alexis did to make her unlikeable. She was INV only due to underediting as made extremely clear by the Insider videos. The cookie incident was one second of being pissed off that you can't get one of your favorite foods after a month of not getting those foods and near-starvation. We'd all act that way in that situation so get over it |

Yay! Amanda <333
And I think it was after that move that a lot of people jumped on the Amanda bandwagon in China and believed that she would win. Ahh if only she had turned on Todd too |

Whoop-de-frickin-doo. 21 reminded me of how much I liked Amanda in China for the first 37 days. Then she turned into the Amanda we all know (but not necessarily love), aka biggest choke artist in Survivor history. To be fair, she never really had a shot in Micronesia. Had Cirie known that there was a Final 2 in Micronesia, Amanda would've ended up in 5th place, and even then, she went to the Final 3 with Parvati and Cirie, and she had absolutely no shot of winning against either one. Black widows (minus Amanda) <3<3<3<3<3<3<3 If Cirie, Parvati and Natalie were the final 3, then that would've been PERFECT! I am so glad Natalie got the edit she did in the F8 episode, because she was so hilarious <3 I wish they showed more of her earlier in the season. I hate Sugar, but I was so happy that she took out Ace because it gave us room for more CRYSTALOWNAGE. |
