7. I didn't say it was sexist.

Just because you have a clear double standard about how you
evaluate a man's performance versus a woman's performance doesn't
make it sexist.

I know, I know, it's a fine line I'm drawing here, but giving
a man credit for something while denigrating a woman for doing
the same thing is a double standard.

Eliza realizes she's on the block early on, with Dolly playing
the "oh I don't know" game that got Christi killed. Eliza
takes matters into her own hands and pulls off a move that saves
her game.

But you don't want to give her any credit for that.

Chris sits there crying in his beer, weeping because he lost the
immunity challenge and thinks he's going home next, and then Twila
approaches him with a proposal to break up the power alliance in
the game. All Chris has to do is convince ELIZA to make yet another
power move.

It's pretty clear here who the actor was, and it certainly wasn't
Chris.
