PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"In praise of Eliza." |
Give her credit: she took one look at the stick and figured out, in rapid-fire order:1. It was a fake.
2. Who had the real idol.
3. Why it had been planted.
4. That Jason was an idiot. Actual thought process invoked within the game. That's rare. And then on her way out, she guaranteed the blindside which Ozzy seems to want so very badly -- aided and abetted by Ozzy himself, but at least she was willing to give him a hand. I'm glad she reached the jury. Her final judgment may not be fair, rational, or unbiased -- but at least she'll be able to provide the illusion.

8. "and in disgust of Parvati" |
Just a tad bit ironic, the scene where Parvati was staring at Eliza while
saying, "look, she's staring at us!" Never in a Survivor moment have
I felt such disgust for a player. Out there in the world there are a million
intelligent outcasts empathizing with Eliza and unfortunately only a handful
of Parvati-like "incasts" that have the brains to realize that what Parvati was
doing was repulsive.

if only her quick thinking could have taken her one step further, she would have realized Jason really thought that what he had was the idol and played to it. "Why don't you give me the necklace, and YOU play the idol. Imagine the look on Ozzy's face when he sees YOU found it and not him" etc. etc.

That idea is cropping up all over, with a lot of posters coming up with it independently: I think it showed up in the GUFU thread first. I still think it would have been the greatest move in series history.

I don't think "dumb" would have put him over the top. His gargantumongous arrogance was enough.

10. "RE: In praise of Eliza." |
I, too, REALLY liked Eliza. She was a victim of bad fortune, losing both Jonathan and that crazy quitter lady. Also, it's been kind of a joke in past seasons that some people are 'good at puzzles', but Eliza's skills delivered victory to her team MANY TIMES. On that note, though, she probably could have thrown a challenge and gotten Parvati out... Why don't people like Eliza, though? She had the SAME ISSUES in Vanuatu. Smart, crafty, but made few, short-lived alliances. Oh well, I'm glad she took Ozzy out with her!

12. "RE: In praise of Eliza." |
LAST EDITED ON 04-11-08 AT 07:51 PM (EST)I was really pulling for Eliza, but some of her strategy kinda bugged me. She never really seems to proactively try to form alliances. They always would seem like a reaction to something scary forming around her. The Eliza/Jonathan/Yau/Ami alliance only formed as a response to the couples' alliance. Her alliance with Jason recently formed as a response to being on the outside. Maybe we didn't see everything, but it always seemed like Eliza waited too long and would get in bad situation. She did get a bit of bad luck too. She survived being in a minority alliance and made it to a swap, but unfortunately, it didn't do her any good, as her tribe went on a winning streak. It's weird to think that a winning streak can hurt you, but it did for Eliza. It limited her chances to go after Parvati/James, and some of her potential allies got voted out on the other tribe (Ami, possibly Tracy). So when they merged, she was in about as bad of a position as before. By swap time, I don't honestly see what more Eliza could've done strategically. Even if she could've gotten to Alexis and Natalie, they still would've needed Erik at the merge to force a tie, which might've proved somewhat difficult. If she had Jonathan still, it would be a lot easier but that's a moot point, considering what actually happened.
