Looks good. Can't wait. Need my fix. Thanks, Shani.
Has anyone here ever known any of the cast in past episodes before they were on Survivor, besides the semi-celebrities planted?

Russell is doing what I always hoped someone would do, which is to lie about absolutely everything all the time and see how far it gets you.
Unfortunately, the early collateral damage was an awfully cute hippy chick who I would have liked to stick around a while longer |

Just read Probst's first blog entry. He loves Evil Russell. Interestingly, the comments afterward are full of people saying they won't watch the show if it focuses on Russell every week. He already seems to be polarizing viewers

Oh my god how can people hate him. He's freaking hilarious. The Katrina/dog story had me in tears. Plus when he put the sock in the fire and dumped the water out...and then he goes around camp saying Marissa is next, and there ya go, she's gone. A+++ would watch again

He will.....or else he'll try. I don't understand it, though....why make fake alliances with all these hot girls if you're just going to vote them out? Wouldn't it be smarter to rally the women around him to get rid of the strong guys?
Either way, I don't think he'll last. The female cop is already onto him, and he's going to lose his temper or someone will catch him sabotaging the camp and the whole tribe will turn on him. |

I'm with you guys. I like Russel, he doesn't need the money, but will play the game as a game. Good on him. But I sure hope he doesn't get rid of all those women first... the game would get awfully boring with just dudes.

I think it's actually absolutely great that he did. Now they actually have to Survive on Survivor instead of being given everything they need like usual. Plus, we're watching the show to be entertained, and watching people struggle through a water shortage IS entertaining. Way more than watching people argue for 20 minutes over who they should vote for.

IMO, the sock thing should have got him booted off the show. The water thing, no big deal, they can get more water. Being a dick, no big deal, because eventually these people will have to vote for him if he expects to win. But theft and destruction of private property should fall under the same rules that would get him booted if he assaulted someone. And before anyone says "it was just socks", they could have been given to the guy by his dying grandma as a "good luck" gift, who knows. And "playing a game" does not give someone free reign to commit criminal acts.
Also, I haven't been able to find any proof that he owns anything. Every single search merely sites the survivor bio as an "oil company owner". Not a single mention of him in a business journal or trade publication. You would think that a "multi-millionaire" would have some information available. I'm thinking that the other "castaways" aren't the only ones he's lying to.

Russell will appeal to the junior high, faceplant-video crowd who enjoy and thrive off anarchy for the fuck of it. At some point he will probably talk one of the other Survivors into eating a raw hot pepper, and CBS will show the screaming contestant's reaction in super slo-mo, and it will go viral on YouTube.

not really part of this discussion, but apparently a friend of mine was crew on this over the summer, I believe he was a cameraman. he's been filling me in on what happened from the tsunami that hit the other day.

Yes, I was reading about the fact some of the crew was still there because Season 20 is being filmed there too

Last night's episode was great. I can't believe there's no discussion of getting rid of Russel H.
I really like Jaison and I'm glad Ben got the boot. That tribal council last night was intense.

Russell is starting to have to compromise. It will be interesting to see if he can get back to controlling every element of his tribe.

Last episode was really good. Man I thought Russell was screwed. His eyes were open but man he was out.
Good season so far.

Great past couple of episodes!
Could there possibly be some validity to Russell's assertion that the rest of them are stupid and he's going to win? That's three immunities in a row!

This is my first season of watching the show. Russell makes this show immensely entertaining. I haven't looked forward to a show as much as this in a long time!
I didn't realize this show was so much about strategy.

I've been avoiding the thread cause I havent been watching...with Dave gone I recorded them and didnt want to watch them twice, so I just got caught up last nite.
Best.Season.Ever If Russell doesnt win Im going to be crushed. The look on all their faces at the tribal where Kelly was voted out was AWESOME

I agree with you. I'd like to see him win AND win fan favourite. If he does not win at least one of those two it will be an injustice.

I think we need to keep an eye on Natalie. I think she has a lot more connections behind the scenes than they are showing, as she was able to get everyone to vote Erik, and hasn't seriously been on the chopping block when Russell was available. I feel like Russell really will take her to the final 2 if he is able, at which point it's a tossup. Russell isn't so short sited to have not been securing votes, but I doubt he's got much support other than the "Good job player, play on" kind, which isn't always enough to win the vote. I think Natalie can probably focus more on the social aspect then the strategy aspect, and have more votes lined up, especially among the girls.
Quote:
Spoiler: Season 20 is an all-star season, Villains vs Heroes, and Russell H is on Season 20 as well, and supposedly gets a lot of screen time there as well. They are done with filming which means Russ had the advantage of noone he is playing with having seen any of his episodes, whereas he has watched all of theirs
