Survivor:
he's completely arrogant. I thought it was really telling that Parvarti told him (on the last night they were out there) that if she had been on the jury, she would have voted for Sandra. He didn't believe her initially and then you could tell he was trying to ponder why Parvarti would say something like that. I wish we had seen that whole interchange because I wonder if he asked her why she would have voted for Sandra.
It seems pretty evident that Russell couldn't have won no matter who was with him in the final 3. Would Parvarti have won if Jerri had been there instead of Sandra? Or would Jerri have won as well.
I pretty much knew Sandra had won when I saw that Coach voted for Parvarti. I didn't see his season, but this season, Coach has been the odd person out.
You know Parvati only got Coach's vote because of the dragon comment...
A great finish to a great Survivor season. Did anyone else think
Russell was drunk at the reunion show?
Would Parvarti have won if Jerri had been there instead of Sandra?
I was wondering that too. I always wish they'd spend more time talking to the jury about their votes. Particularly now that there are 3 choices. My hunch is that Parvati would have won against Jerri. Although I think Russell might have at least gotten one or two votes that way.
I don't think there is anyone on the jury who would have voted for Russell. I think that is the truth that Russell finally gets.
I literally think the only person Russell could have won against is Randy.
Hell, I could have won against Randy, and I wasn't even there. Useless and sour is a very bad combo.
My hunch is that Parvati would have won against Jerri.
I think so too, unless Jerri was doing more strategizing offscreen than we ever saw.
Also, I don't think that Russell even now understands what he did wrong. As Jeff (who was looking very fetching in his black sweater last night) said, Russell may have won a different game, but Survivor is about the same people you play against judging you at the end.
Has anyone won with the "I hate you but respect your gameplay" strategy since Richard Hatch? It seems to me there's always someone in every season who thinks that's the way to go, but it never works out because the social game is what's important.
I only got to see up until the reading of the final votes and then I had to go to bed. Russell looked so angry, which was so different from how confident he had looked the first time around and at the last tribal council. I'm so eager to see the reunion and see how it went.
