Jeremy and Miranda were your classic "subtly running the game pair, and then it all came crashing down at the merge type!"

Jeremy was in a Rob Cesternino type position his entire time on Rivas, he and Derek went between the pairs (Gilbert & Stephanie/Catalina & Feraina), so they were always the swing vote. He leveraged his sob story with most everyone to endear himself to them. At the merge Jeremy was seen as the most threatening of the couples alliance, and a ragtag gang of misfit singles rallied together to vote him out.

Miranda was also sort of a swing vote, Chris had brought her in as the only girl in his big alliance (Chris, Bobby, Joska & herself were the core alliance) She sort of served as the person everyone went to talk to including those on the outs (Miranda, Oscer, Stephanie). Essentially she became the pivotal swing vote at the last Tribal Council before the swap, she decided to flip and take out Chris to avoid he and Feraina being too out of control should a swap or a merge come.

Then at the swap Miranda found herself as the swing vote again in the battle of Feraina vs. Shasta (Round II), but was convinced by Gilbert to take out Sienna since she had more connections. Then Miranda caught on to how much of a power trip Gilbert was on and managed to convince the ex-Rivas members to blindside him. At the merge, Miranda's role in ousting Sienna & Gilbert made her a prime target for Shasta & Stephanie, who decided to spare Feraina to take out the true mastermind.

They were both FANTASTIC players and characters!
