I haven't found myself able to completely cheer on a player for the past two seasons. I kind of like Eric, more for his personality, rather than game play so I think it's more of "stay so I can watch him because he's a character I would miss".From what I thought Amanda and James were barely over their season when they bounced into this one....just like Rupert during All Stars. It kind of stinks for them that they probably didn't have as much time to process the whole situation or even talk about it. James is clearly still playing the same game and still using the same 'ol apple lines..the only exception is his "love" or "nest" affair with Parvati. Amanda kind of played the "I'm not a threat but a follower" during her season too, but it was clearly an act. This time around it seems she really is clueless.
It did seem kind of strange that Amanda, James, Jason and Eric didn't team up together and put a damper in the "all girl" alliance (the gender power thing is simply annoying to me). However, Jason, well Jason just doesn't have Survivor smarts. I wouldn't consider him a complete idiot, since he did find the HII and the site of the last one on his first try, but he is just too trusting. The other three could have felt that Jason wouldn't believe them and run off to Natalie and spoil the whole plan. Plus, Amanda is on the outside of the girls and she probably doesn't want to do anything to cast herself out further.
I don't think James, Amanda or Parvati will last. Nor do I think Cerie will. In fact, this whole girl power thing is bound to crumble...maybe Eric will be their un-doing..lol..that would be funny. The girls are far too cocky and over confident and look where thats gotten past Survivors.
I would also like to add that Natalie is my least fav. for this season. I can't stand her attitude...she's making me love Cerie more (whom seemed to have a bad attitude). Either way, these girls are bound to get there's at the F2. James and Eric have firsthand witnessed their ways and didn't seem too impressed.
