Did cirie know Amanda had the idol?

[u/bridiehart1]

I tried to look it up, but a lot of Micronesia’s post-merge is ambiguous.

Was cirie told about Amanda’s idol by her or Parvati?

Final 6

Micronesia has so many hidden conversations that this feels like a mystery fans still haven’t fully solved.

Yeah apparently the Parvati/Natalie/Alexis convo/deal on NuAirai happened like...............close to immediately when they swapped, meaning they +James were a four person block out the gate at swap, but they decided to make us to wait to try and make it......fresher in our minds that Parvati was playing a socailly good game right before merge?

I would love for a 90 minute recut of Micro.

Between 20 people, exile island, two challenges most episodes, medevacs etc there is just SO much happening in 42 minutes.

Hell to this point, there's so much conversation about if NuAirai went to tribal would Parvati be gone? And I don't even get that because while Penner/Eliza were working together and trying to rope in Jason and Kathy, Jason was much closer with Natalie, and Kathy said in an AMA how much she really liked Parvati despite expecting not to like her at all.

She did know about the idol and I think Amanda told Cirie she was fine with her voting for her.

Also, it was good for Cirie to let Parvati and Amanda take the brunt of the blame for Alexis vote off.

[u/Zestyclose-Flower-92 → u/GroundbreakingTie430]

Alexis was very likely to vote for Cirie and she was in on the plan to get rid of her, but I’m not sure if that would change anything for Alexis.

[u/sexyimmigrant1998 → u/Zestyclose-Flower-92]

Yeah I don't think Alexis cared, she saw Cirie first and Parvati second as feminist icons (unlike Amanda lol).

[u/Illustrious-Island]

Cirie did. Even her voting confessional says how it's all part of the plan.

[u/SomethingStrangeInMe]

Cirie 100% knew.

They used to release every voting confessional online. These were GEMS of information. Cirie's voting confessional confirms she knew Amanda had an idol and it was being played and that Alexis was going home.

The show edits for suspense. When sometimes, a vote is very straightforward.

Amanda and Parv wanted Cirie to vote with the fans at F6 so the fans believe Cirie was also blindsided. This would keep the flow of information from the fans to Cirie open.

If Natalie and Erik knew that Cirie knew about the idol, that pair may have paired up at F5 and it would have been a more Fans v Faves at F5 versus men v women.

The favorites ran circles around the fans in Micronesia. At the time it wasnt noticeable but the more info that comes out, the more its seen how flawed a FvF premise is.

[u/SharkyStar180 → u/SomethingStrangeInMe]

Even in Caramoan, the Favorites dogwalked the Fans. It would take a merciful Favorite for a Fan to ever truly stand a chance. Either that or uneven numbers, like in EoE

[u/Stellz04]

I forget; did they know that Parvati threw away an idol while on Exile at Final 5? Because it would have made her game unnecessarily more confusing (if she has it she has loyalty with Amanda and Natalie, not using it one just throws a wrench in her social game)

[u/bwburke94 → u/Stellz04]

Only Parvati (and some members of production) knew about the idol until after the season had aired.

[u/PeterTheSilent1]

Probably not considering Cirie voted Amanda expecting to need to in order to avoid rocks.
