Lexxan wrote:?? umm if we're only talking about individual seasons, im going to say yes. The strategies in this game are numerous, from coat tale riding, to controlling people, to social gameplay, to being good at challenges. The winners all proved they where better at other players, by doing this. Bob was able to convince Sugar to play for him using social gameplay. Jenna was better at challenges and thus made it to the end. Amber was better at socia gameplay(not pissing people off) Aras was better at social gameplay/not being a massive threat. Tom is better because of social and physical gameplay. The only one I can say you can't compare fairly is V and Cirie because they where never in the same season. But the fact that V, in one try, did somthing Cirie couldn't do twice, makes me think V really is a better player. The sole survivor is the player that came in 1st. Therefore, they are better players than those they defeated. We may not agree with their method(Coat-tale riding in some caises), but the very fact that they won means they are better players.(Atleast in that season) |

I agree with you, Lexxan. Being a winner in any particular season does not automatically make you the best player. There are too many other variables involved,
such as luck. It is like a poker tournament, just because you win, does not mean you were the best player or even played the best game that one particular
time. Just because a person's actions led to a win does not mean they outplayed those who lost. When you talk about the best player you should talk about
who made the best and most correct moves given the specific situation. The consequences of these moves are irrelevant, since no one can predict exactly what
will happen. Again, as in poker, the best players are those who make the correct play given a particular situation and taking in consideration all of the known
information. They do not know exactly what will happen. In Survivor, I would say that the best player is the one who will make the correct play that will work
in his or her favor the majority of the time. Perhaps in a particular season, someone made a great move but it backfired, while someone else who made a
terrible move benefited from it. If this same move were made over and over again in different seasons, the better player would benefit more often than the
worse player. When considering the best player, you should really look at the players before the end result. If you know the final 3 in a season, but you do
not yet know who wins, does this mean that you cannot say who the best player was until months later when the votes are read? I feel like you should still be
able to say that player A outplayed players B and C. For months you would say that player A played the best game out there. But then, after the live reunion,
player C, who did nothing to earn his spot, pulls of a surprising win and is all of a sudden the better player? Maybe player C wanted to quit and tried to get
himself voted off every episode and played the worst game in survivor history, and was only there because B and C dragged him along. Maybe player C slipped
into a coma for half of the season and that was the reason why he wasn't voted off. You would walk away saying that A played the best game, and that C
played a horrible game. You would not change this opinion after the votes were read. So yeah, I agree with Lexxan. Winning does not automatically mean you
played the best game.

SSerenaSSS wrote:You know what? the argument that Parvati won because JFP quit is the most ridiculous thing I have heard. A lot of factors contributed to Parvati winning, not just this. Just like a lot of factors went into other people winning. Like maybe Sandra won because Osten quit. Inevitably, everything that takes place in the game that leads up to Day 39 affects the outcome --- whether or not the winner had something to do with that directly or indirectly. There are certainly better players among winners. I would say that Tina and Rich are better winners than Parvati. But that doesn't discount the fact that Parvati still won her season and that she was a good player. And she didn't pull an Amber, who won because the Jury was upset at the person sitting next to her. She won b/c the jury thought she played a better game. I think what Tina said at the her finale was very true: luck is a big factor in the game. And people have to accept that. |

Fairplay quitting didn't allow Parvati to win. It just prevented her from losing.
Osten quitting didn't directly improve Sandra's game. There's no direct connection there. Fairplay quitting benefited Parvati directly, the most, as she was going home that night. That is the difference. Now, she's not the only one who's benefited from an unlikely scenario. For example, Tina and Ogakor benefited from Michael leaving. However, at least Tina was not at an advantage over Jerri, Keith, Colby, or Amber. In addition, Parvati's luck with Fairplay (which in itself is very unlikely because how many times will a returning player, who lasted a long time in the game the first go around, quit within three days?) she had luck with Jonathan and James; both scenarios directly improved Parvati's odds moreso than any other player in the game. To have that much luck makes her a very lucky winner. And that doesn't make her a terrible winner, it just makes her a lucky one. Yes, she played the game very well. But it's like she had three get out of jail free cards compared to everyone else. Just as Yul got very lucky. Honestly, I consider them both great winners. But 99% of the time they would have lose those seasons. |

I am just saying that there are a lot of haters here who will just not even admit that Parvati played a good game. And their main point is that JFP quit. And I feel that even if Parvati plays a good game next season, they will still find a way to make her totally useless. |

survivorready wrote: But this has nothing to do with Cirie. We're talking about Parv here. Yeah, she played the game, but there's a strong case that she's had more luck go her way than any other winner in survivor history. She still played a good game, but like I said, three get out of jail free cards does diminish her game a bit. However, to be a winner and make the final 3 again is a huge accomplishment, so good on her; she cements her position as a great player. And if people attribute that to luck, well, shouldn't you cross that bridge when you get there? :) |

lol at people clinging to the JFP thing. He was always going to quit. There was never any "I almost voted Parvati but quit". His
entire presence on the show was a scam to get the sequester money.
I mean...yeah, if JFP had voted with five other people in the first tribal council, Parvati would have gone home. If Cirie voted with four other people against Parvati in the second tribal council, Parvati would have gone home. I mean...duh. If people made totally different decisions than they made, different things would have happened. What a stupid argument. I won't even get into the Jonathan and James "luck" because that's just factually untrue so... |

I already said in my original post, there was no effect on Cirie of anyone quitting. So NO the same thing would not have been said for Cirie. The facts are
people here think Parviti is this great winner and i want proof. Show me ,how other than being BFF's with the casting director makes her a good player? Ill
say this again AT LEAST AMBER GOT HERSELF CASTED!

I believe Jon's words about Yau-Man were "Once that idol's gone, you're out of here." I may be wrong though, but it was to that effect. He later tried to say that he would've voted out Parvati, and then tried to shift to Ozzy's side and do damage control, and try to get Yau-Man out, but again, it was after Parvati made it to the end. |
