I would think that if Amanda does not win immunity next time she is out because Parvati & Cirie would figure that Natalie would be easier to beat in the final 3. I hope Amanda wins just to make it interesting and if she really wanted to stir the pot then pick Parvati & Natalie to go with her in the final 3 and vote off Cirie, the silent, behind-the-scenes threat.
I think Natalie’s gone unless she wins immunity. I have a feeling the power threesome of the favorites is going to stick together. Even though I don’t like her, I kind of want Natalie to win immunity just to shake things up. Part of the fun of watching Survivor is seeing a gloating majority alliance triumph, then realize that its members now have to turn on each other. It’d be boring not to be able to see Amanda, Cirie, and Parvati finally turn on each other in the end.
Also, an Amanda-Cirie-Parv Final 3 would probably result in a dull & predictable win for Amanda, since most of the jury is so bitter towards Cirie and Parv (who, like them or not, were playing the game from the beginning. Amanda only really started playing after Ozzy got voted out).
Can Amanda pull off the jury vote part of the game? I think she’s learned from her experience in Survivor: China, where her poor performance in front of the jury handed the win to Todd. She’s now much better at public speaking and manipulating minds.
