It’s impossible to articulate how much I HATE that Parvati Shallow (and how fitting is that name?) won this season of Survivor. After all the great moves and terrific game play, to watch that shallow, self-absorbed little twit walk away with a million bucks is like trying to swallow that icky clam Kathy talked about.But once again, we can blame Amanda for giving the prize away. She’d have been better off choosing Cirie for the final two, but she allowed doubt and foolish loyalties to dictate her gameplay and in so doing, gave away the money.

Of course, I suspect there’s another layer that we’re not getting as viewers and I think Erik alluded to it. There is something about Amanda that ultimately rubs people (at least jury members) the wrong way.

I guess it all goes to show that you can be shallow, self-absorbed and willing to use your sexuality to advance yourself in life, but if you own your behavior you’re more likely to have people admire you.

Still … (insert inarticulate gurgle of rage/revulsion) how stupid is that danged jury to reward Parvati with anything more than a kick in the keister on the way out the door?

I’m not getting over this one any time soon.
