All these people you mentionned were Parvati's allies, so indirectly she had a hand in it. There's nothing worng in getting other people to do your bidding, it's actually smarter than doing it yourself. (See Maggie BB6 for more details) People like Boston Rob, Stephenie, and Twila took it upon themselves to orchestrate people's demises and look how that turned out. |

Look how it turned out for Tom, Chris, Richard, Tina, and Yul.

Parvati is so popular these days. Now she's the best gameplay-er ever?? I don't agree, but she was a pretty good player so whatever.

Parvictory is ever more amazing in a poll so dominated by males and minorities. Only women in top 10 were Sandra (10th) and Cirie (8th, 6th). The poll rigger
got Shallowned too, because they obviously preferred Yul, Yau-man, or Mariano to win. Loved how many non-Parv fans were rooting for her when it came down to
the Top 5.

I'm sure if there were multiple votes from one person that person was obviously not voting Parv down
I think it's impossible to pick one best player anyway, but Parvati is as good a choice as anyone I've heard mentioned. Plus the reactions are funny. |

As it has been said there is no possible way to judge the "best overall gameplay" because there are so many factors to take into account.
Having said that Parvati is one of the people I am satisfied seeing come out on top in this poll. She did have great game play. |

The poll fixer helped Parv beat Hatch and Cirie, and the regular voters helped her beat the fixers' top faves. Since the poll-fixer is a Yau-man fan, they
can't be that fond of Cirie
I think it's impossible to pick one best player anyway, but Parvati is as good a choice as anyoneI agree - the 4 legit contenders for me are Richard, Tina, Yul, and Parvati (sorry Cirie and Rob C, you didn't win). Richard can't be fairly compared with recent winenrs - like companing the eccentric entrepreneur who built a business with its latter-day corporate CEO's. Richard might not have the social game to win if everyone is up on basic strategy, but many recent winners wouldn't have figured things out so well in Borneo. Notice that Parvati and Hatch did the same thing to Cirie and Rudy in the Final IC, with the same result. |

The five players who most deserve to be called the best strategists of all time are:
Danni Boatwright Cirie Fields in Micronesia Chris Daugherty Tom Westman Cirie Fields in Exile Island |

That list is laughable. Danni? A "strategist"? Tom? Chris? Really?
Anyway, gameplay ≠ strategizing. Which is why Tom should be higher. Cirie can't win a challenge to save her life, so her gameplay is lacking in a crucial way. It's been a fatal flaw twice. |

Yeah, Danni. The girl who was leader of Nakum, positioned herself as last to be targetted, got fucked over by a Steph-biased twist, managed to work with
the leaders of an alliance to boot three underlings over her and won 6-1.

Danni did nothing. She made one move post merge and it cost her a vote. She stood around while the game happened around her, and when it was over almost no one
was mad at her because she didn't have any impact on their loss. She didn't "position herself as last to be targetted", she was just the only
woman left from that tribe. She didn't "work with" the leaders, either, that's crazy spin. She won because she was inoffensive, not because
she was good, and that hype about her game is ludicrous.

And Danni played him like a fucking fiddle. It doesn't get much better than Danni .. leading her pre-merge tribe, last target at the merge. She did the right thing in sitting back, finding a small crack and blowing it up. There's a reason that Rafe let her into the final 3... she played him big time. And since he had shown to be a decent strategist up until then, you can't say that he was just stupid. |

Actually I can call him stupid because he was. He played emotionally at every turn. Booting Jamie made sense, and booting Judd made sense in light of his
wavering loyalties and the fact that Danni had immunity that round, but booting Cindy because she didn't give him a car? Totally moronic and petty. Booting
Lydia because she's less likely to take him to the final two? That was absolute stupidity. Not only did Rafe win most the challenges anyway and Lydia was
absolutely horrible no matter HOW sick Danni was, he couldn't beat Danni in the f2 because the jury was so bitter.
The only thing that Danni did right was lie to Rafe and make him believe they were going to be F2, and that cost her a vote. The one time she had to actually play she made someone bitter. Fortunately for her, she didn't really have to play that often. That's why she won. She didn't have the power to be held responsible for more people's losses. Wow, what an accomplishment. |
