It ruined the whole season for me that P won. She was the one fave I didn't want to see AT ALL ever again and when the cast was announced, I was bummed. She did nothing this season to make me like her any better.
As far as I'm concerned, Amanda got the votes from the jurors I thought were good people, and Parv got the votes from the people I couldn't stand. With the exception of Cirie.
The fact that people can be assuaged by a little fake ego massage says something. Why should Cirie's vote be won or lost on something as lame as saying "you were a threat, Cirie." After all these seasons, isn't that transparent?
I think Amanda cracked at the end after two back to back stints.
As for Parv, she's the kind of person who does well on Big Brother; she has the right amount of soullessness to fluorish there. I'm just sorry she won Survivor.
