I got the feeling that Erik's vote was a wink to Amanda, meaning should things not work out between me and Shiny Chin, let's you and me hit the sack, ma'am.

Amanda didn't even deserve the one vote she received...and the rationale behind it was one big logical fallacy that had my head spinning. Of course, said vote giver was called out as a horrible Survivor player by the suddenly outspoken (Are You Anorexic? Do you have sex?) Probst.

And the manner in which you own up to the fact of lying is important.

Todd is definitely worthy of being compared with Dr. Will, for the simple fact of owning up to lying (albeit at different points in the game) and managing to make people feel like they had to vote for him. It wasn't a landslide, but it didn't need to be.

LOL@ they want to find out if you were lying. If you are sitting in the juror's box, there is a 100% chance you were lied to. Duh cubed

They might think they want an apology, but they don't. I agree they want an ego boost, but they also really want an explanation. They want to find out you were lying, or something. I think that most jurors DO want to vote for the best player. If given...

Todd is cool, but Dr. Will will always be the most grandly devious reality show contestant of all time. And the most entertaining.
As for Amanda's jury performance, I think a major issue was that she spoke like she had the game in the bag. Smile, act fakely apologetic, remind everyone of what a nice person she was ... This kind of jury performance only works if you actually have the game in the bag, and Amanda did not. Todd and Courtney on the other hand spoke like they were going to...

todd was good at what he did, but lets not get carried away here... not nearly as smart or clever, and not even in the ballpark when it comes to entertainment

Dude.... I think Todd is great and all, and an awesome winner, but let's not compare him to the strategic master of all reality shows, FTO.

I really liked Amanda throughout the whole show, but I cannot fucking stand people who just answer with "okay" when they are called out on something. she blew it big time at the end because she just could not admit how much she lied. Pity, as she played a very good game.

Got to hand to the jury and MB. Least bitter jury ever, and a great editing job that completly fooled me along with pretty much everyone, especially compared to the past few season's obvious winner.

No. Fucking. Way.

Todd isn't half the manipulator Will was. The end games were kinda of the same: don't blame me for lying, blame yourself for falling for the lies. The stuff Will accomplished goes beyond any moves Todd pulled in Survivor. You could argue that the typical BB mactor is about as sharp as a tennis ball though thus making...

I agree with everyone, besides the crappy performance, I am happy PG called out Amanda's BS sad face

Also, we were deceived, we were shown Amanda as articulate, calm and friendly and we were shown Todd as scheming and right down antsy in confessionals. Complete opposite to what we saw at FTC.

It was fun to watch.

'm still shocked. In 15 seasons I've never been more shocked about the winner than I am now. Amanda's edit the entire season just screamed winner IMO. Todd had the typical "plays too hard" edit à la StepheME, Boston Rob, Twila etc

Wyldawg, I thought the same thing. So many times I have been let down when someone like Amber or Brian wins. The editors actually made it look like Amanda had shown more sympathy, thus getting the votes, but it...

Amanda should have been actively thinking about how to handle people even while the game was going on and finding out how they thought. It's apparent she didn't take the time to get to know everyone well enough. And then besides not owning her moves and thus not garnering any respect, she had to contend with great jury performances from Courtney and Todd. Fantastic. She got what she deserved.

Todd was the true fan - you have to know that you own your game to the jury - lay out your strategy and take no prisoners. The jury wants to get beat by the best player - Courtney admitted she was along for the ride, and Amanda was trying to distance herself from any move that hurt a jury member. It's a game I'm here - you're not. Now here's why I am the best player out of the three of us....

She had a strategy from the beginning, but at FTC, she made it look like she got to the finale by luck, and only engineered the no brainer James boot. What a stupid chick, but I'm not surprised. There weren't any brilliant minds in this group.

I was rooting for her, but I couldn't have voted for her after that.
