James: came off as smiling, yet bitter/petty at the last TC and at this one
as well. No surprise he won the viewer call in vote given how deep he made
it into the game and the fact that he got removed through an injury. I was
surprised that Ozzy and Amanda were the other players at the top of that
voting. The American public is so disappointing.


Okay, lets examine this for the people probably most eligible to be
voted on.

Parvati--devious, flirty, and underhanded
Cirie--devious, machiavellian, forever looked smug
Natalie--devious, hateful, too smug by half
James--bitter/petty at the TC? So what, that was one night. Otherwise a
person of great equanimity, and had a wealth of funny sayings
Amanda--loyal, not near as devious and underhanded as her compatriots
Ozzy--loyal to those loyal to him, vituperative to those not
Erik--too much of a naif. That's not an admirable trait
Jason--too consumed with jealousy against Ozzy. Also not an admirable
trait

So just for these 8, James was the one most likely to be voted favorite
and given 100K.


Okay, "vituperative" is a word I know, although I do not hear it
often. But what the heck is a "naif" ???

For reasons unknown, you only included eight of the final ten players,
and I have a somewhat different view.

Parvati--devious, flirty and willing to go along with the big moves

Cirie--devious, smart, fun to laugh with, rightfully smug and willing
to make the big moves

Natalie--devious, hateful, stone cold bitch and wants to belong and be
part of the big moves

James--dumb to the core, fun to laugh at, takes things too personally
and completely out of the loop on all big moves

Amanda--loyal, nice and willing to passively go along with the big
moves if there is a way to appear nice doing so

Ozzy--loyal to those loyal to him, vituperative to those not and too
dumb to even consider big moves as a possibility

Erik--too trusting, too dumb, too easily swayed by virtually everyone
but happy to be a part of any big move including his own boot

Jason--consumed by rivalry with Ozzy. Too dumb to make any big move
but willing to do as he is told

Alexis--pretty background eye-candy, happy to be part of any big move
but passively allows others to make the tough decisions

Eliza--this season's hottie, strategic thinker, great in challenges,
does not work and play well with others in a social environment, wants
to make big moves, knows the moves to make, but has no allies to
assist her

I guess in a vote to give someone 100k, which I do not particularly
like in the first place, I would NOT choose to award it to a player
who was fun or nice or submissive (James, Amanda, Alexis), as opposed
to decisively strategic; one who had a real shot at winning the
overall game, at the time the "voting" occurred, (Parvati, Cirie) as
opposed to being a potential contender; one who is dumb (Ozzy, Erik,
Jason) as opposed to smart; or one who was a stone cold bitch, however
entertaining that may be to watch (Natalie).

So after eliminating all the choices I would NOT vote for, I am left
with a player who was smart, strategic, non-bitchy, attractive and
potentially the winner but never had a real shot while still making it
far in the game.
