Parvati Shallow is absolutely dominating Survivor: Australia v The World alongside her closest ally, Cirie Fields. For some Aussie viewers who aren’t familiar with her game, this might have come as a surprise. However, Parvati is one of the greatest Survivor players ever — and some of her moves on Survivor US have gone down in history.
From creating the first all-women’s alliance to convincing a player to give up Immunity, this challenge beast is strategic, social and someone you don’t want to mess with.
Let’s take a look at Parvati’s best-ever Survivor moves over the years.
Parvati Shallow’s double Idol play in Survivor: Heroes v Villains
Parvati was in the hot seat once she got to merge in Survivor: Heroes v Villains, with JT Thomas and the original Heroes tribe coming for her head. At Tribal Council, her closest ally Russell Hantz believed Parvati was in danger, so he gave her his Immunity Idol, meaning she was in possession of two.
She had such a good read on the game that she played two Immunity Idols — one for Sandra Twine and the other for Jerri Manthey, rather than herself. Her gamble paid off, with the original Heroes placing five votes on Jerri, which did not count. JT went home with his tail between his legs, being outwitted, outsmarted, and outplayed by Parvati.
Parvati forms The Black Widow Brigade in Survivor: Micronesia
Parvati is truly a girls’ girl. The Survivor player gravitated towards Alexis Jones, Natalie Bolton and Amanda Kimmel and created The Black Widow Brigade — the first all-women’s alliance. Cirie joined later, and the rest is history.
Ozzy’s blindside in Survivor: Micronesia
Ozzy Lusth was the first victim of Parvati’s Black Widow Brigade in Survivor: Micronesia. After Cirie floated the idea of blindsiding Ozzy, Parvati managed to convince him to leave his Immunity Idol back at camp, because he trusted Parvati completely. Ozzy was furious with Parvati at the Final Tribal Council, and refused to hear her out.
The Black Widow Brigade convinces Erik to give up Immunity in Survivor: Micronesia
For the all-women’s alliance on Survivor: Micronesia to work, the women needed the remaining men to fail during all of the Individual Immunity challenges. When Erik Reichenbach had the Immunity necklace, Cirie came up with a complicated plan to convince Erik to give it up. At Tribal Council, Parvati turned on the charm, helping to manipulate Erik into giving his necklace to Natalie Bolton, and then he was promptly voted off.
Parvati’s domination of Survivor: Australia v The World
So far, on Survivor: Australia v The World, Parvati has managed to stay safe — even though she was viewed as one of the biggest threats from the very beginning. She’s controlled the vote through multiple Tribal Councils, and isn’t afraid to change the plan — Tony Vlachos found out the hard way.
Her Kirby Bentley blindside allowed her to continue having control of Survivor: Australia v The World, with five remaining World Tribe members, and just three remaining Aussie Tribe members. The preview of Sunday night’s episode looks like Parvati is about to make a massive move involving her hidden Immunity Idol, so we might be adding more to this list shortly.
Survivor: Australia v The World airs at 7pm on Sundays, and 7:30pm on Mondays and Tuesdays on Channel 10 and 10Play.
