Are you saying the Heroes made a great play to get rid of both
HIIs?
I
thought what Parv did was brilliant. She made sure a Heroe was
going
home, gained some (a lot?) confidence and trust from Sandra and
Jerri,
and showed Russell she's the boss.


Parvati has shown she's great at reading people so she wasn't
entirely
stupid to believe that dispersing the idols the way she did would
keep
the
Villains safe (if she doesn't already, Parvati should give poker a
try-- I
bet she'd be great at it). HOWEVER, it doesn't matter how much
trust
she
gains from Sandra and Jerri, Parvati is still a major threat and
she
really needed to keep those idols for herself. She could have used
one
idol, then let the rest of the people take a gamble with the
purple
rock.
If the Villains won the tie-breaker, she'd be safe for a couple of
TC's.
If the Heroes won, she could have shown everybody her other idol
and
probably kept herself safe for two more TC's. Either way, I'm
guessing
people are going to be gunning to get her out at least by 6th
place.

With 10 people left at the time I think even two idols wasn't even
enough to
get her to the end if the Villains has lost a person. Now the
Villains
have
a one person advantage (Russell might be pissed at Parv for a bit
but
where's he going to go now?) and Parv has all of the Villain girls
on
her
side. Sandra now has some reason to trust her and it's too early for
her
too
jump ship.

Sandra doesn't need any urging to dump Russell.

From the teaser of next episode, she's going to get Russell out.
Russell is low hanging fruit at this point--all the Heroes and at
least
three Villains are against him. So Parv is safe for the next episode
anyway.

Which means Russell will either win Individual Immunity or he will
find yet another hidden Immunity Idol. I say that because the person
that is the obvious target in the ads is often the decoy boot (from
the production staff's viewpoint.)

Exactly. Unless a miracle happens or there's a big fight between the
Villains, I'd say the chances are nearly 100% that another Hero is going
next week. Most likely Amanda. Colby could luck out and make F6 with the
way
he's been fading into the background.

Brian



I expect Amanda to make amends with Parvati and stay around a while
longer...

That'll depend on much she trusts Amanda and how much she thinks she might
need her. If Russell goes completely nuts she might want to pull Amanda in
but I can't see Russell leaving the girl he idolizes. If he did, he'd be
all
alone and he's not stupid enough to think he could win a half dozen IIs in
a
row to stay alive in the game.

Brian


Well, I don't think he idolizes Parvati at all. I think he wants to
boot her as much as she wants to boot him, but for now, they need each
other...

I don't think either of them wants to boot the other. Russell's feelings are
probably hurt by what happened and Parv will have to make up a lie to tell
him why she kept it secret from *everybody*. If he finds out she told
Danielle, Parv will have a hard job of cooling him down.

As for Russell idolizing Parv, sure he does. He has from the second the game
started and we've been presented with plenty of evidence that is the case.
