I still dont see how anyone can think this was one of the best shows ever,,what really did they do?The guys laid around complaining,the girls laid around complaining.Noone had much work to do around camp because I'm sure after the cameras were turned off they all had hot showers and did a few loads of laundry and took showers and lined up at the buffet table. They didnt even bother trying to hide talking behind peoples backs in this show.Too bad the only decent people on this show got picked off early which left only the lame people.Boring

Boy, I bet she was really sweating on that question. How about Natalie's question to her, did she answer that well enough to be a 'role model'?

Pavarti is a deserving winner, but minds were already made up long before the final TC.

I'm happy Parvati won, but I can't agree with Heather's assertion that this was the best season ever. All along, I thought the show runners had done a poor job of picking the "fans" for this competition - none was terribly memorable or appealing.

For me, the show lost all kinds of steam when Jonathan had to leave due to injury, and then Eliza got voted out. Quickly, I had nobody really to root for, although I quickly began pulling for Parvati. I just don't see her as evil - and like Richard Hatch before her, she is brutally honest about what she is doing and why.

And I suspect that's why Parvati won - too many members of the jury didn't buy Amanda's puppy dog tears act at the tribal council where she voted out Cirie. I agreed with the jury members who were laughing at Amanda - and then Parvati won the million dollars with an honest answer to Alexis' question about what would make her a role model.

So, IMO, not the greatest season, but the jury got it right. That's something at least.

This show no longer should be called survivor.It has gotten so predictable and really what are they surviving.Sure it can be compared now more so to the workplace survivor.The women were coniving,lying,backstabbers which is certainly true in the workplace.The funny thing was they thought they were getting away with something and the only people they were fooling were dimwit lazy James and the bon jovi guy.Oh and lover boy ozzy,another bonehead.I dont see who voted these losers as favorites and how some of the fans were chosen.The one beanpole lady lasted like what 5 min before she was whining and then eventually quit. Good choice there guys ..This show better do something or its going to fade to black.

Xrandadu Hutman asked: 'But may I ask a questin? Who is the woman in the image, over on the left, with the wind-tunnel face and the tantalizingly flat stomach?'

That would be Amanda, who finished 2nd to the winner Pavarti. I thought she should have won, but she comes across a little cold at times & thus lost in finals again (she finished in top 3 of her first Survivor go round).

Enjoyed the show. It was one of the best seasons ever, IMO.

All you haters need to chill out. If you think the fact that some of us love Survivor is keeping the world at war or perpetuating world hunger, why don't you log off, pick up your dirty whack-off socks, and go join the Peace Corps?

the finale was the only episode I've seen in years. I watched it at ma's house with dear ole ma.

I thought it was supremely ironic, and possibly a wink from god, that the shallow chick that won is actually named Shallow. Ha! With that weird/devious renee zellweger pout I was hoping she'd get turfed. But no luck.

Ice cream guy nailed it when he said he discovered he wasn't heartless enough (or, sadly, bright enough) to win. That rang true.

Also amanda is a hottie and I would love to give her a backrub.

Nothing ever will outdo Sue Hawks' "rats and snakes" speech during the first season. That was one of the most delicious schlock moments in television history and is worthy of any highlights reel of the medium.

However, I agree that this season ranked right up there with the first season in entertainment value. The best episode was the second to last one, where the women ganged up on the wet-behind-the-ears Erik, was arguably the funniest moment of the Survivor series, especially given Erik's sweet reaction to the treachery. ("You guys drive me crazy.") The girls were laughing. The jury was laughing. We were laughing so hard we almost cried.

Also priceless was Natalie's question to Parvati, which essentially amounted to, "Will you sleep with me if I give you my vote?" I would love to see the sequel to that one.

I mark it as a badge of HONOR than I have never seen an episode of Survivor.

But may I ask a questin? Who is the woman in the image, over on the left, with the wind-tunnel face and the tantalizingly flat stomach?

She's, um, intriguing.

I have to admit, i only started watching by accident, first episode i saw was the one when Ami was voted off. So I hadn't seen anyone's actions previous. Perhaps Cirie was the biggest threat -- so her only way to get to the jury of 2 was to win the challenge. And then she would have been the bad guy choosing between Amanda and Parv. Maybe she would have chosen Amanda over Parv? It seemed to me that Amanda would have been seen as the bigger threat, and thus she would have chosen Parv.

I think in a Cirie-Parv matchup, Parv would still win.

In an Amanda-Cirie matchup, I don't know who would have won. Maybe Cirie? I dunno.

They do get money apart from the million, and it's tied to how far they get, so there is an interest in being #2 over #3.
