By the way, it’s “rat’s” ass, not “rats.” In the example above you were trying to apply a possessive case yet you used a plural noun. It’s also “S-O-U-R,” not “S-O-A-R,” that’s sour grapes, not soar. None of this would make much difference to Sandra, she speaks like she never graduated from the first grade and doesn’t know a subject from an object. “Me and him” is the kind of vernacular that she often applies when speaking in a subject rather than an object case. I doubt that she’s even bright enough to have ever graduated from kindergarten but that doesn’t mean that she deserves two charity case gifts of $1,000,000 each to compensate for that.

Erika Shay has worked in casting for a number of seasons, since her stint on TAR 5 when her team was the first eliminated. She and Parvati have been BFF onMySpace for quite awhile. Lots of photos of them together.

Parv’s Myspace url is Hot Casting Chick.
http://www.myspace.com/hotcastingchick
Lynne Spillman is the casting director. She too is a friend of Parvati’s.

Russell was recruited by Boo of Fiji. (Supposedly Boo and Russell are co-owners of a bar.) Hantz was originally interviewed for Pirate Master 2, but the show bombed. Boo is an old friend of Krista, she of Big Brother knife in the kitchen fame. Boo brought James to casting as well.

Erika Shay was a senior casting associate for Pirate Master and Big Brother as well. Her credits are on imdb.

WHAT’S BEEN ON THE GRAPEVINE

Back in August, there was a huge Survivor Reunion in Florida, just before the finalists were to fly out. Billy Garcia posted that Jeff Probst and Lynne Spillman were having a big fight because Spillman wanted her protogees on H vs V. Parvati being Lynne’s main gal.

Many people questioned why Parvati ever got a slot on Micronesia. She was like the Danielle or Candice cast member that season, never accomplished anything of note in her season. Her casting connections are why.

Spillman has been big on recruits on the show. Jeff has wanted more “real” people and applicants.

There were supposedly a number of people who were told they were on or almost certainly on S20, who didn’t get go. Ozzy is one of them. Gossip is that he was cut with his bags packed because he was thought to have it in for Parvati. He never made up with her after Micronesia, but James did. Danielle and Parvati are IRL friends, but in a UTR way such that no one discussed them as a dangerous pair.

Many people think Candice was put on Heroes — mutineer Hero, right, she did her best to destroy Aitu by jumping — to avoid the appearance that there was a big Parvati alliance on the initial tribe. Amanda, Cirie, Candice, James — all allies if Parv just made it to merge.

Did any other castaway have casting on their side trying to give him/her a smooth ride with pre-prepared alliances and no major enemies? No.

It gets worse. Parvati flew out to Samoa while S19 was filming. She vacationed there with Erika Shay. There she was supposedly clued in to Russell’s mode of play, which would include that he likes to find a female ally and take her to the end, acting as the perfect goat all the way. All Parvati had to do was become Natalie v. 2.

As for Russell, the only season he supposedly saw before filming was Micronesia. Coincidence or did someone in casting tell him which one to watch. He knew he wanted to ally with Parvati on S20. Also, he and casting knew before S19 was halfway filmed that he would be on S20.

Only problem for Parvati is that Russell got a tad psycho after all those days in the game, and she miscalculated and lost his trust, so that it wasn’t a smooth sail.

There is other gossip that’s been around a long time, and I repeat it only because people who hang out around the LA group repeat it pretty frequently. Take it for no more than gossip. That parv is Bi, like Natalie Bolton (who they tried to cast, who was an alternate for Courtney). And that so is Lynne or Erika, and there has been some casting couch behavior on Parvati’s part from way back when, just not the traditional kind. This is one reason people call her skanky, not for being bi, but for allegedly sleeping with someone who works in casting, and getting Micronesia … just allegations and not something I can say is true or false. What is true is there have been allegations along those lines since Micronesia.

Lastly, Amanda is giving interviews that a mysterious something about this season changed the way she felt about the game and she will never play it again.

Candice and Danielle were asked by RTVW what was up, and they said that they weren’t going to be the ones to comment.

So it is not all internet gossamer. It’s serious enough to where CBS ordered radio silence on it. And like I said, all the players at the Cocoa Beach party last season were talking about the Parv favoritism and the Probst-Spillman rift before anyone flew out to Samoa. It took someone like Billy who will never get asked to play again to spill it on the net. The others are afraid of getting cut from the guest lists.

Lastly, this season they had the cast staying in Samoa and interacting for days before filming started. They didn’t separate them into Heroes and Villains, but they were free to start solidifying pre-game alliances.
Like Stephanie said pointedly at the reunion, there were “like three of us who don’t hang out with these people.” Steph, Tom, Colby were the three I imagine, the ones who don’t go to all the Survivor parties. It’s a big social club now.

Even if Russell had learned how to play nice, I don’t think he could have won this season, because he wasn’t in the club. Parv was supposed to win.
