Natalie may seem like the obvious choice to be the next one out... But I think Cirie is smarter than that. If Cirie goes to the final 3 with Amanda, Cirie loses. If Cirie gets Amanda out next, she wins.

It's simple as that.

And we all know that when talking about strategy, Cirie always gets what she wants.

^ As much as Parv and Cerie go on and on about Amanda in the F3 w/ them they know that they can not beat her in the end. I am assuming it's a F3 like it has been the last couple seasons rather than a F2 so why wouldn't they want Erik to stay for F4 and win immunity? Then Parv/Cerie could oust Amanda w/o Amanda feeling like she's being backstabbed.

If Cerie makes a move this week and tries to get rid of Amanda..it will look bad for Cerie w/ the jury.

Dumbass. It's all in the plan, Cirie knows the plan about Alexis.

Cirie is the biggest threat and yet Parvati and Amanda doesn't realized that.

No. Nat will be a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE goat right now..... she is now basically more hated than truckwaffle.. if that is possible. Cirie is the biggest threat to win it all now. Watch.

we didn't see one bit of strategizing about a "Plan B". I wish erik had asked them what they would do if he DIDN'T turn over the necklace, because Cirie surely wasn't going to say in front of Nat "We'll boot Natalie"--it would have been Amanda or Parv anyway, so what did he think he had to gain, except "being liked by my Survivor idols" *eyeroll*

Because they don't want a challenge hog like Erik in the F4...Duh.

Because Amanda and Parv know that they are sticking together to the end. They know that Cirie is with them until F3. All three will now vote Nat out knowing that Cirie can't win the F3 challenge and then they vote her out. So from Amanda and Parvs perspective, getting rid of challenge threat Eric was paramount to their plans. Eric's stupidity has sealed Amanada or Pov winning. Or, if it's a F3, Cirie will go next and Nat will stay.

Also, despite how much Cirie flips, she does show some loyalty to her closest allies. She planned on going to the F2 with Aras in Panama despite Shane and Danielle probably being easier opponents. Aras was her closest ally and she stuck by him if no one else. Maybe she simply doesn't want to betray Amanda (and/or Parvati). Amanda working her before the last TC probably helped a bit too.

Natalie made the best decision for herself, but she is a newbie in Ami's body

Because Erik is a threat in final four immunity.... If he wins, that means either Amanda, Parv and Cirie will be going home and why take the risk?

I get that Natalie was going to be out so she needed to play Erik but it wasn't even her idea. Why would Parv, Amanda and Cerie do all that scheming just to save Natalie when they were all safe anyway??! I don't get it.

"Girl Power", mostly, but also because Erik ahd that pesky habit of winning Immunities, PLUS his personality was probably such that he'd take a few jury votes. And, I think A/P/C wanted an All-Fave F3 because a Fan that makes...

I don't know if they could sway Cirie or not, but I have to think that neither she or Parvati believe they will have more sympathy with the jury than Amanda. They wanted Erik out because he was winning the challenges. Natalie may believe that with Erik out of the way, she stands a better shot at winning immunity to take her to the F3.

What I don't get is why Natalie doesn't realize that she's number four on the totem poll? What she should have done is swallow her pride and anger towards Erik and stick with him. All they had to do then was sway Cirie towards their side (as she's the obvious number three) and vote off either Parv or Amanda. It would be a lot easier to sway Cirie towards your side when it's a 3-2 split instead of Nat trying to sway Cirie when it's a 3-1 and forcing a tie. Now...
