Cerie is so totally running this show already although we're being shown precious little of EXACTLY how she's doing it, per Joel's hilarious comment above...Ozzy tells Joel Cirie's running this thing. Ami tells Joel Cirie's running this thing. People they are BOTH right, Cirie is running this thing and doing it brilliantly...so pay attention to every little Cirie detail that is dropped. Like Cirie's arm around Chet's waist. Cirie on Chet "He's anything we...

I think we see a double-turn with the Chet boot. Ami flips to the fans, but Erik flips to the faves, explaining why he stays over her later on.

Honestly, I don't have that much to say about most of the Fans. Alexis and Erik seem nice enough and zzzzz; Natalie's strategy is one of working hard, shutting the heck up, and trying not to draw attention to herself, which is not in and of itself the worst plan I have seen; Jason I have seen nothing to base a real opinion off of; and Kathy and Chet are circling the drain.

JOEL: I have a hard time buying that he's an actual big fan. His strategy, if you can call it...

Joel probably saw her as nothing more than an overweight mom. He thinks only alpha males like himself can play the game, hence, why he was so afraid of Mikey B.

Joel is all about his ego.

Everyone will be gunning for Ozzy after the merge. I think it would be more the other way round - there wouldn't be any way Amanda could protect him.

Amanda and Ozzy have an ongoing romace postshow. She couldn't pull the trigger on Todd, so I don't expect her to do it to a guy she loves. Parv talked about wanting to allign with players who were trustworthy, and she inspires trust in Amanda and Ozzy. I don't see her jumping to betray her allies before F7.

I think Amanda could get rid of Ozzy if it was need be. Amanda made a comment in Survivor China interview, where she talked about...

I caught that too birdlady. Not sure how that will play out. With Ami rumoured to be booted pre-jury, does her scheming with the swing vote get her booted?

However, I think it more likely that Cirie\Eliza will end up playing a Fairplay\Burton game postmerge, and Parvati will get to the end with clean hands like Sandra or Jenna.
Except for the fact that Eliza won't be there to do it.

"I foresee Cirie, in her somehow infinite powers, influencing Parvati and Amanda to get rid of their men. The men, therefore, will blame their women for using sex and flirtation as a double standard to get ahead while Cirie uses straight-forward strategy to get where she was."

That is Cirie's path to victory, and another version of Tina's infiltrate the main alliance game that she played so well in S12.

I agree. But notice that all of the people you listed are men. The editors don't like showing women in that way. I don't get it. Danni played an incredibly strategic game, but most of what we saw was on Insider or not actually shown.

True, However, this is Cirie we are talking about. There is a certain respect about her. Probst and Burnett love her. We are supposed to love her YET they don't want to make that love so obvious that Cirie looks...

It would be very cool if the previouslies next week show us the "summit" in the background, while the foreground is the confab Tracy-Cirie-Amanda-Ami-(Chet) had while the boys were off fishing.

What was interesting to me about Ozzy's statement that he's not sure he can trust Amanda is that he has at least that much awareness, even if he doesn't know what to do about it. He is the most adapted to living on a tropical island, he did find the immunity idol, he...

....because Cirie has something major in common with Chris D, Tom, Earl, Yul, and Todd...(and somewhat Aras)...that is that we saw exactly how they won in every moment they were shown on the TV screen. It was their journey to the win.

We can hope that this is the case here, JJ. It's about time that a woman got the typically male-oriented winner edit that we've seen too often. She's already getting the rare strategic mastermind edit, the last time of which a woman got that, was a few seasons back in EI strangely enough... She's an incredible player and everyone seems to be underestimating her all over again. Crazy.

By now we knew why Stephanie would lose. She was snarky and had a horrible and sour attitude about everything. She wasn't strategic. She was self-righteous and overly worthy. Therefore, when she did play strategy, we already had a bitter taste in our mouths established.

Cirie, on the other hand, has been strategic in every scene just about. Even when we aren't supposed to like her very much, it's because of her strategy and we can't completely disagree with what she...

Malakal:
Ozzy: Figurehead of Malakal. It's good to see him in the lead role, playing the HII well, but how long can that continue?
Cirie: Blowing smoke up Ozzy's butt. But TRACY is blowing smoke up HERS. Is S16 just a contest of who is left blowing smoke up people's butts??
Eric: Joel's #2 coasted to this point. Can he actually make some strategy free of Joel's coat tails?
