Parvati Shallow talks about her 2nd place finish on Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains

Parvati Shallow has set a Survivor record in the fact she has spent more time playing the game than anybody else. After placing 2nd on Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, Parvati spoke with RealityTVMagazine's Ryan Haidet about her strategy, thoughts on Russell and compares herself to the other crazy competitors.

[@energizer61bunny]

I love Sandra and have no problem with how she played...I have to say though I really felt Parvati played the better game. I agree with Parvati in that i dont think Candice or Amanda wanted to see her win again and people didnt like her loyalty to Russell. All of them worked hard but I felt like Parvati had to work even harder to get to the end and I wish it would have been rewarded.

[@matthewplotnick750]

energizer61bunny And Russell played the best game

[@soxnation1000]

I agree with you that Parvati had an awesome strategic and physical game, but the problem is, if her game was so great, why did she take Sandra instead of Jerri to FTC? Sandra had a clear "I tried to get out Russell" argument for the heroes. But maybe this was only clear in hindsight.

[@stevescoffee8325]

[@coolwahl]

If I was on the Jury I would have voted Parvati to win, basically because her game play was so much better to Sandras, winning all those immunities, being on the bottom since day 1 and still getting to day 39 and lets not forget her using both idols to protect the villains, the only problem was to me that when the villains were saved, 5 heroes went to the jury and all voted together and voted Sandra just because Sandra won them over and showed herself to be the closest thing to a hero in final 3

[@iLLBiLLsRoastBeats]

coolwahl despite what Jeff and the editing will try to spin in modern survivor, the game always has been and always be a SOCIAL game. The person who wins always deserves to be the winner, becuase the point is to get to the end and be able to have people like you enough to vote for you, not to make flashy moves

[@toptenguy1]

Absolutely. Not only her game changing move with the 2 idols, but she also won some key immunities when Rupert and Colby were fighting for their Survivor lives. She simply outclutched and outlasted them. Very deserving.

[@ajl9772]

And yet the jury rewarded Sandra because they- the people whose votes mattered liked and respected her more because of her social game. I'll give credit to Parvati for making the smart and obvious move at the merge, but can you tell me what she did outside of that besides win immunity challenges? Russell was the one running the show and had Parvati under his thumb throughout most of the game. Parvati couldn't save her ally in Danielle or get rid of Sandra who she knew to be the biggest threat. Parvati had poor relationships with the Heroes and gave up immediately on trying to form positive ones. Because the Heroes were cold to her early she decided not to interact with them. Not a smart thing to do in a social game. Because of this Parvati could never gather the numbers to make the moves she wanted to. The only people Parvati appeared to get along with in the game was Danielle, Russell, Sandra and Coach to a degree. Sandra was more involved socially and was craft enough to survive each vote. She earned the jury's votes and thus is the deserving two time winner.

[@zeldamx4171]

Sandra is much more popular among hero juries, because only she was really against Russel. Russel and Parvati didn't notice it until end, so they brought Sandra instead of Jerri and Daniel in final. it was totally Russel and Parvati's fault. so you overestimated Russel and Parvati. and, Sandra was really good. because she made Russel and Parvati be ignorance about it until end. this means, Sandra outwitted and outfoxed Parvati and Russel.

[@4Tom4lepus4]

Actually no. Parvati thought Sandra was a big jury threat and wanted to take her out, however Russell had won the Final Immunity Challenge and Jerri was apparently set on voting out Parvati, and for Russell it was between Parvati and Jerri. Parvati had no other choice than to vote with Russell, if she didn't want to end up going home

[@commentingperson9554]

This comment is invalid. Russell controlled the entire game and Sandra had no power. So what if she played quietly? She didn't do much. She won because of bitter Heroes. Russell should've won. Go play Russell's game and be sitting next to someone who played Sandra's game. Then lose. You'll understand why Sandra is overrated, underestimated, and worthless. Russell is the greatest Survivor player ever.

[@4pm462]

and, if Parvati was gonna win, she would have got the jury votes. Sandra knew that Jerri was her biggest competitor, not Parvati. Parvati was seen as a coattail rider of Russell (from the perspective of the jurors) therefore it was vital to keep Parvati in the final 3. Therefore, Sandra was happy to let Jerri go at the final 4.

An argument Russell could have, and should have made at Final Tribal is that Parvati wouldn't even be there if he hadn't made a risky idol play on her behalf. It still wouldn't have won him the game, but he may have gained a vote or 2.

@BohemianKitsch I agree. I wanted Parvati to win. She deserved this one more than Fans v/s Favorites!

[@vicked914]

uh you just spelled out Sandra's strategy completely. She WANTED people to underestimate her. That was why it was so easy for her to get to the end. She made sure that there's always targets ahead of her so she can survive another vote. That is a legitimate strategy and it got her two wins. and it also shows that she is amazingly crazy good at final tribal council when she convinced people to vote for her despite being weak.

Sandra deserves her win especially with the game she played. But I'd say Parvati deserved it more before she already had a huge target on her since Day 1. And people keep voting her every Tribal council. Russell was never deserving of the win. Yes, he played a great strategic game but he does not understand the importance of jury management which is a huge part of the game. He was playing to reach the Final Tribal Council but not to win. Had Parvati successfully brought Courtney instead of Sandra in the merge, she would definitely would have won. And honestly, they should have kept Colby instead of any of the villains.

Survivor is a social game. In every single season, the person who wins the game is the person who deserved to win. It’s not about making flashy, sexy moves despite what Probst and the editing try to shove down your throat. It’s about navigating the politics and the strategy and making it to the end while actually being likeable and having the jury be able to sleep at night being comfortable they made the right decision

[@roageapex8738]

weird comment

[@CreepyFinnishGuy]

Parvati's relationship with her Survivor allies was like typical popular schoolgirls story. First she was best friends with Candice on secondary school. Then her family moved away and Parvati went to another school where she met Amanda, who became her new BFF. After graduating both Amanda & Parvati went to same senior high school where Candice was also but this time Parvati met her new BFF, Danielle, and so she forgot all about her previous best friends, Amanda & Candice.

@Eikkanen actually according to a report a long time prior to the season, Parvati and Amanda are not even on speaking terms, and based on her interview, i think it was on CW ow EW or whatever, it looks like it was Parvati causing the rift

[@mitjamackenzie5365]

A few episodes before the jury started forming (coaches elimination) I told myself that there was no way Candice nor Parvati were going to win. This was all of course cuz I thought there was no way in the world either of them was making it to the final three. I think Parvati didn't win cuz she got immunity a lot, while Sandra never got it. Mainly cuz the jury was bitter that they tried to get Parvati out earlier, but it didn't work cuz Russel saved her. Do I agree with the jury hell no? Parvati was targeted by basically everyone but Danielle and Rusell. Rusell even targeted her eventually.

I think in Jerri-Parvati-Russell Jerri wins. I think in Jerri-Sandra-Russell Sandra wins. The only way Jerri wins over Sandra is if Parvati was lying about voting Sandra over Jerri and Russell, if she isnt then Jerri has no shot in that as Jerri absolutely would need Parvati and Danielle's votes to beat Sandra, she only otherwise gets Coach (lock), Colby (probably), J.T (maybe), and an outside shot of Amanda. I think in Jerri beats Parvati with the votes of Coach (voted for Parv over Sandra but not over Jerri IMO), Sandra (said post show she votes Jerri over Parvati since she thinks she played a better game), Candice (bitter), Amanda (bitter), Colby, and J.T with Parvati getting Rupert (respected Parvati's game, disliked Jerri), Courtney, and Danielle.

I know why people hate Russell because he is a villain. Hey, look at this season's title.

[@musicaleclecto]

What's wrong with making moves that are only effective for one or two days? If anything, it goes to show that she plays in the moment which is how you should play. An alliance or strategy you had at the beginning might not be smart for the end game so you're required to change things up from time to time. And secondly, bitter jury? As I've stated about this game to others, you can make all the strategic moves and win all the challenges, but the social aspect is the most important. He betrayed JT, Candice, Danielle and Jerri, he made a mockery of Coach (found this out in Coach's Survivor Oz interview) and he made an unnecessary personal non-game related comment towards Rupert. Russell failed to handle the jury properly which contributed to both of his losses. Therefore, zero votes is what he deserved.
