And I'll say it again. Parvati is good enough to be a second-tier All-Star (a lot like Jenna Lewis) and I could see her on a full ASS season, given that
plenty of women would probably turn down the offer. But on a season like this, with only five spots for All-Star women, I don't think she deserves the
spot. And as for Amanda, she doesn't deserve the spot in any way, shape, or form, given how boring and lame she ended up being.

I was wrong! Parvati didn't ruin the show, she RAN IT!

I think Parvati was a great choice for casting. She was quite memeorable in her season and underestimated. Even Yul commented on how underestimated she was.
Yes, she flirted more than the average survivor, but she had good strategy in her, especially for someone who never watched the show. Her only wtf move came
when raro tried to target yul, knowing he probably had the idol. All in all the show needs different characters and Parvati was probably casted as the flirt.
As for Amanda, i am sure she is a good gamer. We just didnt see much of her in China because of editing hogs like Todd and Courtney. Im sure there is something
in her so it will be interesting to see.

Parvati was one of the last women I wanted to see, but Probst has made it pretty clear that she and Amanda are only on the show because Candice and Courtney
Y. turned it down. Granted, if they had to have a China woman, I don't know why they couldn't have picked Peih-Gee over Amanda. As for Parvati,
Probst has said that Cook Islands was one of his favorite seasons, so if they couldn't have Candice, it's not like they were going to pick a woman from
another season (though Twila, Katie, Cindy, Courtney M., and even Lisi would have all been good choices).

The Michelle and Jenn support is completely laughable Admit it, Jenn supporters, if she looked like Denise her support would be 0%. She's a very good
looking Becky, that's it. And the cancer thing is completely irrelevent. It wouldn't make her more interesting. She'd hardly be the first
Survivor to suffer from a major illness, and can you think of any Survivor who was mostly notable because of that? Of course not! I am sure that you would be
bitching and moaning by episode 5 when she has done absolutely nothing and has had about 3 or 4 confessionals the entire season so far by that point.
Michelle likewise is completely unmemorable. She had a somewhat likable personality, but that was barely even shown. She left due to a twist? Are we gonna let the 15-20 people who have left due to a twist suddenly come back into the game for that reason? If there aren't those pictures out there of her kissing Eliza, she is completely forgotten, admit it. |

Actually, the main reason I like Michelle the is the main reason I rank Parvati so high. In a season with shitty female casting, Michelle (and Parvati) was
one of the best. That makes her stand out to me. We lost five women in the first five episodes, three of which were boring as hell. Lisi was an unlikable
trainwreck bitch, Cassandra wasn't all that memorable, and Stacy was given the bitch edit too, when she wasn't being ignored. Michelle was just the
best of a bad bunch, and she sticks out to me for that reason.

Doesn't mean she deserves to be cast though. Fiji already has representation with Yauman, and its not as if each season deserved representation anyway
(which didn't happen).

Michelle can start a fire thats it. Nobody had been able to do that in i think like 11 seasons. So STFU. She deserved the spot, not Pavarti who sucked. Some of
you are acting like Pavarti and Amanda were these great players they weren't. You say nobody remembers Michelle NOBODY FUCKING HAS A CLUE WHO PAVARTI IS!
Dont be hypocrites. And about Amanda all PG, Denise, Courtney, and JAMIE would have been better choices they were hella more vocal and present in China. Its
also funny how people will give a list of people who should be on over then and people pick the smallest people to complain about. GIVE me complaints against
the Courtney's, Twila, Katie, fuck even Sally and Candice are better choices. You guys bitch about Amber but wont about these two losers. You all are such
hypocrites. What did either Pavarti or Amanda do better than Amber. NOTHING. If anyone mentions Amanda got James off, kill yourself Todd had that idea two
episodes before. Pavarti i dont even remember aside from her wack ass name. And Candice was totally a bigger character in CI, she did the mutiny and hooked up
with Adam and went to EI a hella amount of times. More i can say for Pavarti. So people complaining about Michelle/Jenn tell me something Pavarti did. Pavarti
didnt start no fires, nope. Pavarti wasnt in no season showmance...nope. She was a LOSER.

I agree. I personally think Cindy should have replaced Parvati or Amanda so Guatemala could have had representation. I was okay with Palau not being
represented because it technically already had its "All-Star" players in Bobby Jon and Stephenie, but giving Guatemala the shaft was kind of a low
blow.
And as much as I did like Michelle, of the four Fiji women who made it to the Jury portion of the game, she had the worst edit. However, that's basically the fault of Fiji's editors (the worst in the show's history). It's a shame that Cassandra, the runner up, only had 22 confessionals in 14 episodes, while Lisi had 24 confessionals in only 8 episodes. That's the way it worked out, though. I doubt that even if this was a full-ASS season, we'd be seeing Michelle. She was nice, but just a little too invisible for average viewers to remember her. |

Parvati's fine, given that she came from a season with shitty female casting, and was easily one of the best choices for a CI female. Amanda though, I
would probably pick any other woman who made the merge, and in fact, any other woman in the China cast before Amanda.

I know seriously. Parvati way outshines Michelle in everything. Michelle is overrated for falling of a pole, starting a fire, and being the victim of a twist.
Other than that who is she?

And people like Margaret, Janu, Caryn, Katie, Lisi and even Cindy were all more memorable and entertaining than Parvati and Amanda, whether they made the merge or not (Shii Ann, anyone?). Since the female casting during CI was so shitty, why couldn't they have ignored that season instead of ignoring seasons like Guatemala and Palau that had more interesting females? That's my problem. Why the hell do they bring back Parvati and Amanda who no one cares about/remembers/respects when there are so many more options?? |

I'm not saying that Parvati is more or less interesting than some of the other females who may have been chosen over her. I was stating earlier that she
was specifically cast because of her use of sex appeal. Some of the other females I had mentioned before would not be using sex appeal to advance.
Those people who do not approve of using sex appeal to advance in life do not approve of people who use it in Survivor. It's going to make her a villain this season and that's another thing to bank upon. |

Amy was premerge, but should've been brought back, because she was close enough. Janu, Caryn, Cindy were all boring as fuck for the most part. Lisi was a
dumb bitch who doesn't deserve to come back. Margaret got voted out too early. Katie's the only choice you made that didn't suck, and she's
not as likable as Parvati. If you really wanted to make an argument, bring up Lydia, because she had some extremely likable, was an extremely upbeat and
likable character, and she would actually be an older woman on the show, as opposed to Cirie being the oldest favorite woman, when she's only like, 35.

Michelle's "sweetheart" persona was almost as contrived as Rocky's CRAAAAAAAAAAAZY antics, yet some people still fell for it. I can't
believe some still say she was a throwback to the "sweethearts" of the early seasons. People liked Colleen and Elisabeth because they showed that
they were complex with both nice and mean streaks. Not a damn anime cartoon.
Jenn may be hot and underrated as a person and player, but all of that underrated hype has made her overrated around here. The fact that she was completely unmemorable and seemed to do nothing on the show remains. If she was on China instead of Amanda, she'd probably be there. I also laugh when people wish they had Candice and Jenn instead of Amanda and Parvati because they would NEVER engage in dastardly showmances.

I think Parvati is meh. I used to hate her, but now I have no opinion what-so-ever. Amanda is still yuck though.

"Those people who do not approve of using sex appeal to advance in life do not approve of people who use it in Survivor. It's going to make her a

A lot of those people are hypocrites, because they take it for granted it is okay to lie and deceive to advance in Survivor, or to use others purely as means to an end. As for the villian thing, that's up to editing. Janelle was a huge flirt on BB and had a huge fans base.. The United States has a puritanical , sex-phobic tradition, willing to allow tons of media violence. But Janet's Jackson's breast during the Supervowl or Amanda's short-shots are too much. |

I also wonder is a racial dimension to some people's problem with Parvati. She flirts with black men - something new. Perhaps the best example of
interracial bonding that 2 seasons of the race twist produced.
