I'm gonna preface this by saying she didn't deserve to win Heroes vs Villains at all. This isn't necessarily a gameplay ranking, Sandra 100% earned her win, and Parvati's social skills sucked, even though the heroes didn't really want to work with her, she didn't have to treat them like trash, and if she respected them as human beings she might've won, but she didn't, as Sandra did, which is why Parvati lost. I say again : Sandra won. Like she should've.
And even in Micro, had it been a F3 Parvati had no chance, she'd have gotten 3rd, so luck certainly gave her the win there, but, in every winner luck is incorporated, so I won't fault her for that.
NOW onto the reasons she's amazing.
Where Parvati basically sucks socially (villains aren't known for their brilliant social game, ya know?) Parvati dominated strategically.
In Micronesia and Cook Islands she played the flirt card GLORIOUSLY (on and off screen) and honestly, I feel like besides maybe Brenda Lowe, using looks to their advantages and the flirt card is such a rare strategy, I can't even think of someone else who really has done that?
In Heroes vs Villains, she even used Russell to her advantage and used her flirt card to draw him in to basically just do her dirty work for her, and she used him to get idols, execute plans, really overall, she was his better half, and basically was a meat shield goat that could take her further.
I do see why some people would dislike her cuz as I've said her win was purely based on luck, and she infact didn't deserve to win HvV, which is why she didn't, I feel like she's one of the most influential villains of all time, has a very entertaining strategy, is strong in comps and really is just a fun character who actually uses the flirt card (underrated underused strategy) and sorta inspires a new era of castaways.
I feel like female players always strive to be her (and say they're most like her) and usually never are.. (Figgy).
This may seem critical, but she's one of my favorite players to watch, and I feel like even though Cirie actually orchestrated almost every plan in Micronesia, she was the one who executed them with her control over people like Natalie & Alexis, and she was the head of the Black Widow's Brigade, the best alliance in Survivor history.
Even if Cirie & Sandra both were the people who DESERVED the win their respective seasons, Parvati was by far the second best player in both of them overall.
So it's fitting she's 2nd in my ranking too!
I guess I'm basically saying she's like the 3rd best female player of all time, but it happens the 1st/2nd best players of all time were on her seasons... oops. But I love her as a player AND character, which is why she's here.

On a gameplay perspective Sandra, Cirie & Parvati could all be argued as the greatest of all time basically, I feel like by the end of the day growth was a huge factor in ranking the higher people and I feel like character was the main seperater (besides with abi who didn't really grow besides like maybe not being a huge psychopath by the end of Cambodia)
