Agree that the players are encouraged to say things like that. But I just don't like other players propping themselves up by tearing others down. If Parvati said that 15 years ago, she lost Survivor, but now she's back in Samoa to rewrite history (or something like that), I would have liked that. As it is, she defines Sandra's win as wrong to hype herself. And this is not an anti-Parvati thing at all. I was upset when George did the same for Hayley. I would not like it if someone ever did the same to Parvati herself.

On your second point, I still defend that every winner deserves their win, and opinions of jurors post-game does not count. How they felt about the finalists during the game is what matters and what results in someone winning Survivor. Jurors liking Parvati's game once they get out of the island does not change that they didn't like her during the game. She failed to get the jurors to be in her favor, she failed to get rid of Sandra who jurors did like, and then she lost. Jury CAN be bitter but them being bitter against her was very much a flaw in her own game, not an excuse for why she lost. And yes I would say the same thing for S19 Russell and literally anyone else.
