'Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains': No. 16 Parvati Shallow
Zap2it is handicapping the "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains" contestants. Our gal Friday (Jan. 22): Parvati Shallow.Disclaimer: These are not based on any spoiler-y knowledge of the "Survivor" season, these are based upon our opinions of the past contestants/seasons.
Don't worry, the 4 of you who read this piece every day -- soon we will start predicting some Heroes to head home. But we really do think early on that the Heroes tribe will dominate the challenges and the first few people headed home will be Villains.
Parvati is our pick for 5th to go home. After Jerri, she and Courtney Yates tie for the most annoying female Villain and while Parvati may be better in challenges than Courtney, we think the men of the Villains tribe will see Parvati's strategy of "flirt and preen" as ridiculous. Also, Russell likes to get rid of women who don't side with him, which is why we think Jerri and Parvati will be quickly ousted.
Another reason we think Parvati will be a target is because while she only finished 6th in "Survivor: Cook Islands," she won the money on "Survivor: Fans vs Favorites." People who have already won the million have a harder time sticking around the second (or third) time they play and with no young, buff men for Parvati to cling to or a girl-power alliance for her to form (we just can't see that happening with the 5 Villain women), she's going to be sent home early.
Monday: Cirie Fields

Zap2it Elite Sheet Must Reads from the Web's In-Crowd



As past seasons have shown us the last thing you want to do in Survivor is end up sitting in front of the jury opposite a gorgeous woman. The hottie will win. If these survivors are smart they will vote off the super cute bikini babes first. Ask Boston Rob and Evil Russell how going up against a 10 worked out for them...
Wow! Surprised to see you think Cirie is going out that quickly. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on that.
I like to read these predictions. You guys have no idea what's coming. Prepare for a BIG surprise.
"Don't worry, the 4 of you who read this piece every day -- soon we will start predicting some Heroes to head home."
As one of the 4, I'm worrying that you aren't picking Sandra.
nisl- tell that to Amanda. Boston Rob and Evil Russell lost because people preferred the other person, and in Russell's case they might have voted for Shambo before choosing him.
It is pretty hilarious that everyone expects the Heroes to dominate, and it's the Villains that end up dominating in the early going, dupe the Heroes at F10, and end up being the final four.

I know what you know. People are going to be in for a big surprise.
@Scotty -- it was actually albert who wrote the post about the surprise, but after browsing the spoiler sites I have to agree with all of you. Quite a different scenario unfolding, if they're correct.
I THINK THE BIG SURPRISE WILL BE THAT RUSSEL IS ONE OF THE FIRST TO LEAVE. HE JUST DOESN'T FIT.
NO IDOLS WILL BE FOUND WITHOUT
CLUES THIS TIME.
Parv is in for the long run she has lots of traning!!!!
