I wanted to make some comments. A part of me does think that perhaps Pavarti wins because of her "I have to win this time." (Although have and winning is two different things) But I think people are forgetting about the "whole dog that does not bark scenario..." According to the spoilers, it seems like Miss Natalie is the Fan who makes it the furthest in the game. However, Natalie did not have a Confessional in the first episode did she. There were others who were much louder than her on the Fans side. ..

The same goes with Amanda. Amanda is the only Favorite who did not have a confessional at all. And in her introduction. She was "all it's such an honor to be here." Now, I realize that people are suggesting that maybe it means we aren't to take her seriously... But here's why, I don't think we can just write of Amanda completely. Amanda was the only Favorite, who was giving a Strategy clip, from the previous season (unless you want to argue Fairplay's grandmother). Now, I realize that was probably Amanda's shining moment but they could have shown other scenes of Amanda... For whatever reason, she was the one Favorite, they decided to remind us, that as a calclulating strategic player. Even if they let Amanda basically fall by the wayside for the rest of the episode.

Here's what I'm seeing in the first part (pre merge) It was suggested that Cirie took control of the Favorites. Now, we have Pavarti with control and all her minions. What if the next few episodes, is Amanda takes control of the game in the Final few days..Honestly ever since she caught that shark Amanda has been edited differently. There has been build up with Amanda that there hasn't been with Cirie or Pavarti. Amanda had a huge merge episode.

And I think they are definetly setting up a showdown between Pavarti/Amanda. Notice how we see Amanda talking about Pavarti controlling the tribe and having control of all the girls. This is something we the audience sees, but Amanda (besides James but still less so there) is the only one seen talking about Pavarti's double dealings...She talks about Cirie being under Pavarti's spell to... And I think there is a question about why we aren't seeing Cirie showning concern about Pavarti's relationship with Alexis/Natalie. Especially when we saw Pavarti in a confessional say Amanda/Alexis/Natalie everyone else is dead to me." Now, the thing is according to Insider, Cirie doesn't trust Pavarti any more or Natalie...But there is a reason we aren't showing it. They are setting up Amanda to make a move.. And I also felt it was interesting how she was edited so differently from the other women. We saw Amanda lead the strategy discussions no how to full Jason. (Be two steps ahead, get into his head etc) But, we didn't see any of the glee, Ha Ha Ha from her, so none of that negativity was there.

She was UTR, UTR, UTR, INV in the first 4 episodes.

If she wins, it's another Danni situation, and would prove once and for all that edgic doesn't work with returning players.

The problem with returning players is that people have their biases towards certain players. They have their "favorites" so to speak, and so unless the edit hits them over the head, they just don't see it... Especially in Amanda's case where she blew the FTC and was clearly not that bonded with other players in China....So I think people are going a lot by what happened in China.

But who says it was just that Amanda didn't clique with most of her Survivor China castmates. Amanda in an interview said she regretted not forming more bonds with people in China. (And we saw in the last episode Amanda mention how the people liked Todd and he was more friendly with the jury then her.) Whose says that Amanda didn't improve on her social skills/friend making abilities. We know that Alexis and Amanda, James, and Erik hung out a bit after the game, according to Alexis' blog. Jason also mentioned how Amanda and him got a long really well in the game. And we know that Amanda is tight with Cirie, Pavart, James, and Ozzy. They have been hitting it over our heads how tight Amanda and James really are.

The point being is I think the reason Edgic doesn't work to well for returning players is because people bring their own biases into the game. Although I do think that Pavarti wins because of her first episode quote. It seems like lately, MB has had obvious winners. Honestly, I think it would be great if we didn't have an obvious winner this time.
