[DesertRose]

What a great interview. I liked PG's honesty.

I'm not quite sure if this is what you're asking or if it answers your question, but the show was filmed months ago. In fact, the 16th season has just finished shooting recently.

The only thing PG is in the dark about is the live reveal.

So PG knows who the final 3 are... of course, since she's on the jury and had to vote for one of them.

Well whose game did you respect the most?

I probably respect Todd the most, to be honest. Just because he definitely had a lot of strategy and made some big moves, and then he wasn’t afraid to show them, and let people know about them. And that can backfire on you in Survivor, because it can piss people off, but then it can also get you more respect, too.

Yeah. I really DO think this statement throws a monkey wrench in some of my assumptions that Amanda has a lock on this.

The big question is whether or not Peih-Gee was alone in this assumption that Todd is the bigger thinker in the Amanda/Todd pairing. Its not unknown for a Survivor jury to vote that way, especially since Todd's main spats of nastiness and arrogance, as I recall, were more early on, and more to the interview cameras than to his fellow Survivors actual ears.

I don't know. Maybe PG did vote for Amanda.

Her comment could be after the fact of watching the show. I don't know, during the whole season we haven't seen any Todd/PG interaction besides Todd caling PG a big bitch for trying to get him out. :

The whole Amanda/PG bonding experience was really highlighted last episode, so I'm really not sure about her.

Again, it also comes down to the bitterness of the jury. It may not really matter if people thought Todd was the bigger thinker. If they are really angry at him, strategy may not matter, and they could vote for Amanda not for her to win, but as a vote AGAINST Todd.

Yeah. but I stand by my observation that for the most part Todd didn't appear to be that much of a jerk to his fellow players. YES, we omniscient viewers saw a lot of early-season gloaty moments from him in interviews, but did anyone on the jury see him act that way?

I'm just not sure.

You're right in that respect. It's not clear if Todd was a jerk to his fellow tribe mates. But even if Todd didn't appear gloaty or a jerk, even Todd himself said on last weeks show that he's probably the most hated person left or something along those lines. He's crossed a few people.

Jean-Robert definitely is pissed at Todd. James may credit his ouster to Todd and not Amanda. Frosti wasn't too happy about his departure and might attribute that to Todd as well. So like I said in my earlier post, Todd being the percieved leader may actually help Amanda and people might vote for her to win, not knowing all the great moves she's made, and against Todd as a "SCREW YOU BACK, BUDDY!" kind of vote.

We'll have to see tonight.

They may not have seen Todd's gloating moments to the camera but they've seen the faces he's pulled at tribal council ever since there was a jury facing him. They've really been bad game play, as has been commented by someone before. You have to at least TRY to look sad that a worthy competitor has fallen, because you can be SURE someone in the jury will tell your newest victim what they saw, even if the newest victim had their back to you at the time.
