One last thing Parvati fan, her winning this season would mean nothing because the game was so obviously RIGGED in her favor.

First Erka Shay sets up a pre game alliance between her and Russell. So no danger of all five males ganging up on her, the obvious thing to do after S16.
They put her on a tribe with floater vote females like Sandra and Courtney as opposed to alpha females Corinne and Twila.
The odds of Parv being excluded from a majority alliance with this group is minimal, 10 percent chance at best.
Then they set up her post merge game by having Candice(?) on the heroes tribe to derail further suspicion (had she also been on the villians tribe people would be Screaming conspiracy) as well as Cirie, Amanda and James. James is the only person who might not align with Parv at a potential merge, however he is tight with Russell H., Parv's alliance partner. That would give Russell/James/Parv/Cirie/Candice/Amanda a huge advantage in this game.
How the hell does James get a hero spot over Ozzy? Reason being he and Parv patched things up, Ozzy and her still don't really like each other. Why no Jonathan Christ on the villian tribe? Because just like S16 he'd be gunning for Parv, and this time she would go. Both Ozzy and Jonathan were cut right before the game started, no coincidence there. Amanda and James have no business making this season over Jonathan and Ozzy. Ozzy should replace James, Jonathan should replace Tyson, Amanda should be replaced by Sandra, and Sandra's vacated villian spot should go to Twila, Danielle should be replaced by Corinne.

Of course they could not guarantee a Parv win but they gave her every unfair advantage in the book. She will only win 1 of her 3 Survivor seasons, barely a great player and certainly not top 20 material.
