Then once Ozzy left and the women started to take over I said this is way to predictable I'm done watching but it was still very exciting to watch. The womens alliance were just brilliant and the guys just made are gender look like a joke

. And all the blindside tribal councils were just great tv from fake immunity's, to back to back hidden immunity's not being used, to Amanda's brilliant use of the hidden idol, to poor Erik pulling the dumbest move in Survivor history to the surprise Final 2. It was an amazing season and too be honest I disliked pretty much everyone except Ozzy, James, Amanda and Erik and for me too still enjoy a season with only liking 5 people is pretty amazing.

I liked the same 5, Chris...

But I think that was the only way the girls could beat the guys and it worked perfectly. I think they over did it with the backstabbing and some of it was unneeded but it made for shocking tv.

I wasn't that happy that parv won I was really rooting for Amanda. she rocks!!! But was excited that a girl won hehe

megggggg you need to come over here more often girl with your 1538482 reality shows you watch lol

I think second place gets either 100k or 75k i'm not 100% sure

XChris76X · 05-12-2008, 12:08 AM

Yeah I looked it up 2nd place wins $100,000

clueless01 · 05-12-2008, 04:22 AM

Wow. Okay, I think that maybe Parvati deserved to win more than Amanda, but I didn't like Parvati. Still don't. She just rubs me the wrong way. Although Amanda isn't a great deal better, but she does have the Ozzy connection.

Disappointed Ciree didn't win, especially given that the last challenge was within her grasp, and shaky Amanda fared better than her. How did that work?

Natalie - wtf. Is she a lesbian? Maybe she's after Parv. It would explain her fanatic anti-men campaign in the game. But, seriously, asking about Parv in the bedroom, firstly - eww, and secondly - inappropriate.

Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy, will refrain from hopelessly gushing. But will say, who needs to win when you've got Ozzy? I mean I wouldn't necessary say love over money, but Ozzy over money. Ozzy trumps that one. Okay, damn though, was he hot!

Poor Erik, it's lucky he's so damn good natured. Dumbest move ever, I mean it was, but talk about rubbing it in, I still cringe when I think about it. If only he could have heard me through the screen!

**forever young** · 05-12-2008, 05:48 AM

lmao ITA. Amanda left with the biggest prize of all.

I mean, I personally LOVE money, but I would probably give up one million dollars and take 100,000 instead for Ozzy and the things he was saying.

seriously, his speech was complete love. and he was looking so freaking hot.

lmao anyone catch him making fun of Denise and her lie about the lunch lady thing?

thought that was funny.

ITA Chris. really, the only people I liked throughout the whole season were Amanda, Ozzy, James, and Erik. and Parv got back on my good side. so out of the four I liked, three of them went out in the jury, and I really HATED the girls alliance. but it was still a great season.

PhillyFan24 · 05-12-2008, 07:15 AM

I didn't really like Parvarti until the last few episodes so I might be biased, but I was rooting for Amanda. Like she said though, people vote for different reasons and all you can do is get to the final two.

Ozzy proclaiming his love for Amanda was adorable but surprising. Both of them seem private so I think it took a lot for him to say it. His words for Parv were harsh! I didn't realize that they were that close when they came into the game.

Oh, and what the hell was Natalie's question about? That was a bit over the top, IMO.

*Catherine* · 05-12-2008, 07:25 AM

All the blindsides this season mean nothing to me, if I dont have someone to really root for, and that was the problem I had. I liked a whole bunch of people, but not enough for me to really root for them like I normally do...I guess the only thing I really rooted for was for Jason not to actually think what he had was the real HI.

Anyways..I thought most of the jury questions were very disappointing. And Nat..WTF??

I missed some of the reunion..are Ozzy and Amanda together now?

Poor Mikey, with his mother passing away..

And Joel looked so different with his hair cut. Still dont really like him, but I couldnt believe it was him..he looked very different..until he opened his mouth.

Yes, Ozzy and Amanda are still together.... I thought it was sweet when he declared his love for her...

AlexEvans · 05-12-2008, 10:19 AM

Anyone else wonder if Jeff put Natalie up to those questions in an effort to boost ratings? But yeah, she looked really vicious - including in what she chose to say to the cameras.

I thought the most hilarious part of the episode was the women talking about how with the men go there were no big egos left, nobody "preening."

I was a bit surprised at Parvati winning, but not too much. I was disappointed with James winning the 100 k a second time though; I'd have rather seen it go to someone else this time.

I don't like the idea of another season in Africa. The problem is that the wildlife is usually off-limits (for good reason). Last time we saw the tribes sitting around starving, because they just weren't allowed to do much of anything to try and feed themselves. It made for a harsher and duller Survivor season, in my opinion, and I'm surprised to see them repeating that mistake.

Holls · 05-12-2008, 12:24 PM

This was a really interesting season. It started out really bad and ended up being one of the best seasons ever with one of the best final 4 ever.

I LOVE that Parv won, ideally I would've like'd to have seen Parv and Cirie at the final 2 since they were the 2 best strategists of the season but oh well!

Ozzy is such a freaking tool, I cannot believe how much he changed from his original season, seriously. His speech at jury was NAUSEATING, I wanted to puke. I heard rumors that Ozzy and Amanda arent even together anymore and I suspect that comment at the finale was just them trying to continue the charade so they can be the next Romber

Glad James won the prize again, and that Amanda didn't win once again teehee.

Omg I was soooo annoyed at Amanda's big doe eyed crying at that Final 3 TC, it came off as so phony. If I never see those huge droopy sad eyes it will be too soon. I think that whole thing was just an act to win Cirie's vote b/c as soon as Cirie was out of the TC area, the tears were gone and she was celebrating with Parv. And what was with her yelling at Cirie at the F4 TC about how she feels like the lowest on the totem pole in all her alliances? That was a really stupid thing for her to be mad at her about and Amanda just proved what a hypocrite she is when she in fact ended up choosing Parv over Cirie.

Hands down Parv deserved to win over Amanda. Cirie and Parv orchestrated most all the big blindsides in the game. The only good game move Amanda did was kind of set up for her by survivor. Finding the HI at the camp was a perfect set up for her to blindside Alexis but I really can't give her that much credit for it since they pretty much put the opportunity right out there for her.

Well all in all it was an amazing season with a very satisfying finish and I couldn't be happier with the outcome

Next season looks amazing, can't wait!

Oh okay Chris. I misunderstood what you said originally. Or I just skipped over that part.

It was late.

I know, right?

I really do.

Uhm, I have a whole bunch else to say but considering all ya'll are on one side of the spectrum and I'm by myself on the other I really don't feel like typing it out since it will fall on deaf ears.

I just don't love Ozzy & Amanda as much as you guys do. I have an incredibly hard time seeing how Amanda is viewed as the best player never to win the game. She's nothing spectacular in my eyes.

I'm SO satisfied with this season though. Even if Parv hadn't won I would be. I enjoy great gameplay on my reality shows and so if a season has a lot of that I'm a big fan. This season was definitely one of the best, if not the best, when it comes to that. The blindsides alone were the bestest things ever. Like even though it happened to Ozzy, who I love, I loved watching it. This is tied for my 2nd favorite season along with All Stars (HUGE Rob & Amber fan), only Cook Islands beats it. That was the most freaking amazing thing ever.

OMG Holls you just became my new best friend!

I think its just the fact that she did everything she had to do to make it to the end in back to back seasons and didn't win either. Some of the best players has never made it to the end and the fact that she did twice in back to back seasons is very impressive.

*Catherine* · 05-12-2008, 01:49 PM

I'm not a huge Ozzy/Amanda fan either.

Nah, this didnt beat all-stars ( HUGE Rob fan

) I f'love that season.

Oh. Well then I do see.

Idk why, I just still don't feel strongly about her.

Dudeeeeee, me too! He was flippin' amazing. He still SO should have won. I don't think it beats AS either. That's why they're tied for me.

I really need to get that season on DVD.
