Stephen’s Survivor Strategy Blog: Parvati’s Sexy Scheme – PEOPLE TV Watch

“The common people are impressed by appearances.” –Machiavelli, The Prince

Does anybody else think that Parvati’s sex appeal has evolved? On Cook Islands, she stripped down with Ozzy and Yul in a hot tub. On Micronesia, she built flirt-liances with James and Natalie and backstabbed her way to victory. Now her flirtatiousness has metamorphosed into a force of nature.
