Most people like her or hate her.
She gets a lot of unnecessary flak off people for things like not voting out Ozzy (arguably Ozzy going put her in a worse position in Micronesia/why vote out somebody who is going to take you to the end that early post-merge?). In HvsV she was the only hero who said they shouldn't give Russell the idol and voiced her concerns and she made the finals back to back but unlike Russell actually had a shot of winning either season.
- LJ, Woo and even RUPERT as Best Hero over Tina Wesson? Hooooooooow?
- So happy J'Tia is nominated for Best Pre-Juror! I found her extremely entertaining. What I loved about her was that she was able to see herself that she was crazy, unlike awful villains like Kass, NaOnka, etc.. On the other hand, why is Laura Boneham nominated? She was not a good player, and not an entertaning character.
- Kelly Goldsmith for Best Interview! I was such a fan of her in Africa! I was also suprised to hear how many times she's been asked back. Surprisingly I didn't like the Corinne-interview, even though I'm a fan of hers.
- Tanya Vance for best 2nd boot!
- Is Purple Kelly only nominated for Sexiest Female because she's a regular on Oz?
- Awesome picks for Best Seasons. Though I would argue Palau and Philippines were better seasons than BvW.
- Coach was okay in SP, but he should NOT be nominated in Best Player to never win. I would have put Andrea, Yau-Man or Malcolm instead of him.
- Richard Hatch not nominated for Best Winner or Best Player is a crime. He was certainly a better winner than Sandra and Parvati. I would say Kim is the best overall winner though. She mastered all three aspects of the game: Social, strategic and physical.
- Though I don't consider Parvati the best winner I do consider her the best player ever. She had huge targets on her from day one in both Micronesia and HvV and still made it to the end. Kim, Earl and Brian would need to play a second time and do well for me to consider one of them the best.
I listened to your interview Bingo! It was really fun. And I'm so happy someone finally said Fabio was the worst winner ever, I couldn't agree more! :)
Leli14, interesting thoughts.
I would have liked to have seen more BvsW presence in the Best New categories as they were very Cagayan biased.
Aww I'm hoping Laura B wins, I just find her social awkwardness endearing.
BvsW in top 5 seasons was a shock to me, in my rankings I put it as a mid range season but I think next year it'll probably drop out of the top 5.
Coach being in best never to win is a joke when someone like Amanda Kimmel isn't in the top 5.
I agree about Parvati, I don't see her as one of the best winners but I do see her as one of the best players. In my mind her gameplay in HvsV was truly deserving of the win. Had she have won HvsV she'd be a lot further up my list of winners.
Disappointed not to see Denise nominated for any awards as I think she is definitely one of the better winners in my books.
