I've looked back at some of the other comments.

First, some people have Jason as OTT? He was clearly the most CP presence in this episode. Regardless of what we think of his decision, he was given full opportunity to explain his reasoning, and he clearly acknowledged the risk in making the move he did. I think some of these OTT votes are because people have developed preconceived notions.

The CP's for Cirie do not surprise me though I disagree with them. Playing strategy, even successful strategy, should not be enough to be CP. I tend to agree with OTH's comments on her - she's not giving sufficient explanations for why she's making the moves she's making. CL says Parvati is the catalyst but Cirie wins, but I think it is the other way around. Cirie was clearly the catalyst for the boot of Ozzy (based upon the editing), but the decision is placed in Parvati's hands. That bodes better for Parvati than Cirie. Look back at Jonathan's warning. It was to Parvati to beware of Cirie (which seemed backwards based on the events of that episode). Who's the one being set up as the player to beat? Who's the one being portrayed as in danger? The answers heavily favor Parvati as the winner over Cirie. I strongly predict that Cirie will assume Ozzy's role as the player who looks to be the most likely to win until she's booted, and I think she will be booted because I don't think she'll face a jury. The physical threat has been defeated (Ozzy), the mental threat is next (Cirie), and finally the social threat in front of the jury (Alexis).

I had forgotten about the finger crossing, which I agree was a negative moment for both Cirie and Alexis. In Cirie's case, it probably doesn't change her overall rating. In Alexis' case, she didn't have much else so she's probably actually UTRN.

The reward scene appeared to be all fluff - it certainly didn't advance the story, especially now that Ozzy is gone. Erik's an innocent, but I think we already knew that. Looks like Erik will get the boring pagong boot where we know he's going and we just feel bad for him.

No need to focus on Jason at reward since he had such a big role this episode already. Likewise, Ozzy didn't need more time (especially of a too positive nature since we were clearly meant to be glad he got booted). Amanda could have used some development, but we're probably not meant to think too positively about her either.

Natalie was certainly not invisible this episode even if that was a legitimate rating.

Just like the "payback is hell" line was clearly designed to come back to bite Sandra in S7? In the end, it proved ironic as she was the one who benefited from everyone else's payback. The editors love these kind of themes, but they don't always spell it out that obviously. Sure, they show Eliza as the mental threat since she's on the block, but that doesn't mean that Cirie isn't the true mental threat of the game, and the flip of Alexis as the social threat Parvati needs to worry about isn't that big of a stretch from those jury comments.
