On Cook Islands she was the flirt who flashed a smile and won challenges, and the boys' alliance she'd been riding cut her loose in sixth, onto the jury. Everyone wrote her off as a pretty face. Then she came back.
Fans vs. Favorites was the Black Widow Brigade — four women she pointed at one target after another while the men got picked off thinking they were safe. Parvati ran every vote, sat next to Amanda Kimmel at the end, the same Amanda she'd bonded with, and the jury handed it to her 5-3. The flirt could actually play.
Then Heroes vs. Villains and the idol move every fan knows by heart: two real idols at one Tribal, one draped on Sandra, one on Jerri, every Heroes vote against her side voided, and J.T. blindsided to the jury. She won three immunities and out-played the whole table, and still lost the title — Sandra edged her 6-3 for a second crown. She finally went down at Winners at War, voted out in fifteenth and shipped to the Edge, a marked target from day one.
