That was a GREAT episode.. Amanda acted amazingly....now Erik knows he HAVE to win immunity as does Natalie or they are DONE.. I dont want Natalie to win this thing(I dont think she will since the jury is filled with Favorites). Cirie as much as I like her cant win at this point

I was sad to see James go. I couldn't believe it when he came to tribal council with an IV!!

I'm so glad Amanda found the idol. I wish that she and Parv had voted for Natalie instead of Alexis, but perhaps Nat will go next. I'd much rather see Erik stick around than her (in fact, I wouldn't be disappointed if Erik won the whole shebang).

And AF, I agree about loving the looks on the jury members' faces when everything played out last night. The last three episodes have been great!

Finale tonight! I'm so excited. After everyone kept saying around the merge time that the rest of the season would be boring because the pecking order was firmly establised, I think this has been the best few episodes ever.

Unless Natalie wins immunity (which probably won't happen) and Amanda gets voted out, I think she's got it in the bag, as long as she's learned from her horrible China jury experience. She's got Ozzy & James's vote, straight away. If she can convince Erik to blame Natalie for his dumb move, I think she can get Erik's vote too. I think Eliza and Jason's votes are a bit up for grabs. I have a feeling that Alexis and Natalie will vote for Parverti. Most of the people at realitynewsonline think that Cirie's got a better shot than Parverti, but I think Cirie's too abrasive and won't tell the jury what they want to hear like Parv will.

I still can't believe that either Parv, Amanda or Cirie couldn't see the benefit of taking Natalie and Erik to the jury with them. Even if one of them betrayed their alliance and went that way, I think any of the three of them could beat both Natalie and Erik, hands down. Time and time again, we've seen that good game play and strategic moves win over the person who just merely "didn't piss as many jurors off".

Yeah, I am especially surprised at Cirie, because she has been on the ball since day one as far as game strategy goes. I think Amanda is most likely going to take it, and I think she deserves it. I think Cirie deserves it more, but she stayed in the game but not making the attention about her, and so she is not going to get much attention in the finale. Pauv and Natalie do not have a chance in hell.

I think it was Cirie who said that the Final 3 got blindsided - and that's about right. When they found that Treemail, I was shocked.

Once again, a good strategic showing trumps not pissing off (and even sleeping with Hehe;) ) the jury. During the reunion show, when Jeff was talking about a couple that we didn't know about, I thought it might have been Parv at Natalie, after all their bedroom talk at the Final Tribal.:p

I love that James won the $100,000 Player of the Season for the second season in a row.

wow i was really surprised that Parv won...

so was Nat hitting on her during the Final TC......strange girl

I thought Ozzy was bout to propose to Amanda the way he was confessing his feelings for her at Tribal Council. I knew Circie was gonna get the boot because she really didn't play the game, she just flew under the radar and rode coattails all the way to the final three. I agree with the whole Natalie and Parv situation, that was a bit extra..even Jeff was thrown by her sexual comments.

I was shocked at outcome myself and thought Amanda had it in the bag (would love to know why PArv got all those votes).

My 5 year old was balling crying when Parv won - he wanted Amanda. I told him it was ok, Amanda got Ozzy which my son laughed at. Ozzy was his favorite.

Now AOII HQ needs to get some of Parv's $$ since in my opinion, she didn't deserve it.

Can't wait to see swimming hippos in Season 17.

See, this is why I hate editing! lol. They did it on purpose to make you think Amanda is God and we all know she will win. I am just still upset that Cirie didn't get to the F2... I really think she is Amanda and Pauv combined. She was cutthroat without being a bit**. Reality shows kill me, why can't my peeps ever win?

It was really obvious from the ladder challenge that it was going to be a Final 2...the last challenge is ALWAYS some sort of endurance/how long can you hold on type challenge. All FOUR of them should have known that.

The sad part is I really think that a Final 2 HURT Amanda's chance at winning, because I think with 3, Parv and Cirie would have split the 4 votes that Parv got, and Amanda would have still ended up with the same 3.
