That was incredibly gutsy of Parvati, to give away both idols and leave herself essentially unprotected. However, it also showed two other things: First, she is very good at spotting a lie, namely Amanda when she advised Parvati she should play the idol, and of course it also showed that Amanda can't tell a lie to save her life.

Not only are they back in Samoa but they are using the same beaches as last season. The Villains were on Galu beach and the Heroes were on Foa Foa's.

To be fair to Russell, he was loyal to his core alliance during Samoa (Jaison was only voted out because one of them had to go) and Russell's been loyal to and shared information with Parvati and Danielle. Might be part of the reason for that is he's so full of himself, he can't conceive of anyone beating him (unless its a resentment based vote as he likely thinks Samoa was), but its entirely possible Russell's view of how to play survivor is to be part of a tight alliance of three or four and to stay loyal to it; keep it strong, and appearing strong, trusting that rival alliances will crack first. You can lie to anyone else but you stay honest, and forthcoming, with your alliance partners. Not sharing information creates mistrust, which could lead to player's flipping or freelancing, the way Tyson did in getting himself voted out. Russell might be just as angry at Parvati because he disagrees with the way she played the game by not telling him about the idol as angry at realizing he's no longer in control.

Honestly, I was shocked she didn't think that Amanda was telling the truth...but she played her big-time. I think she also did very well, at putting the Troll in his place. Girls alliance, looks stronger than ever...to me. I felt really bad that Colby thought he was it...you could tell on his face. JT, I love him, but he brought that one on himself. He will be fun to watch at Ponderosa! Also, mentioned in another discussion, Danielle didn't win any season, Danni B, did. I think this is definately a surprising season...granted, if we didn't read all this good stuff, it would be! I love it anyway!

Frankly suspicious move by Parvati, who we are supposed to believe gave her idols to two people not even in her core alliance just on a hunch that Amanda was lying to her? The exact two people the Heroes were considering voting for? Come on. Where else is she getting information from? How did she know "Russell is a force in this game" on the first day she met him when no one else knew anything about the guy? Has Parvati's flirting even worked on the crew? Maybe.Regardless, the whole move might not be possible if not for Danielle winning immunity. The Heroes practically giving the IC up also played a key role. Lastly, even if assuming it is a completely clean bold move, was it such a bad result for the Heroes? The Villians voted 5 strong for JT. Therefore, the best result for the Heroes would have only been a tie. Danielle was immune regardless; so in a tie, the odds are 5/4 that a Hero goes home. Really, the Heroes didn't want Sandra going home; so in that sense, it is 2/1 that the result of a tie is a negative result. Yeah, a Hero went home, but it was the Hero that neither Candice nor Amanda seemed to trust. So, he's gone, both idols are out of play for the Villians, and if Sandra flips on Russell's alliance, the Heroes get control right back. >

Wow! What a circumvoluted way of avoiding giving Parvati any credit! Amanda told her clear as day what was going to happen when she said: "Play the idol just to be safe. If we don’t talk again, play it... For you.”Now, Parvati would have had to think that the Heroes were completely undecided about what they would do for Amanda to be so cautious. Maybe it would have had more weight if Amanda had tried to talk to Parvati earlier. That "For you" at the end was a dead give-away that Amanda wanted the idol out of there but they weren't stupid enough to vote for Parvati. Even more pathetic was Amanda's earlier: "I have no power here" when Parvati saw James stay over Tom and after observing a Heroes' TC where Colby was completely out of the loop. Who would you prefer to bet against in a poker game?
This face:
or this one:
 I'm NOT talking strip poker here!
More than anything this episode showed what I've been saying all along: Amanda cannot read and manipulate people. We also saw, once more, that Parvati can.
"if Sandra flips on Russell's alliance" Didn't Sandra say she was stuck with Russell? Won't the Heroes be suspicious of Sandra since she received that gift? More likely, someone from the Heroes' side will be looking for protection. PS: Parvati gave immunity to Danielle. Look at their faces throughout and you'll see that Danielle was struggling a lot more. Candice almost bested Ozzy in this challenge once before but it wasn't a contest this time. Pre-season, Candice admitted she wasn't in as good a shape as during CI but I think Parvati has done some serious training.
