it's also still a pretty large group so its prob a lot more difficult to go off by yourself so much. last time his group was dwindling very quickly and not suspicious of alone time.

3/6/2010 1:31:42 PM

I just can't believe he announced "I'm going for a walk" instead of sneaking out. Dumb move. He is no longer my favorite player, Boston Rob all the way.

3/6/2010 4:16:32 PM

Bad move by the Heroes. Tom would have been better to keep than James at this point. I know Candice and JT were worried about numbers, but the two of them teamed up with Colby and Tom would be enough to take the rest down if need be.

The Heroes have no chance of winning any puzzle challenges as long as Rob is around. I hope Russell doesn't so something stupid to ruin what they have going. As long as they keep winning, he doesn't have to worry about Rob gunning for him.

Then again, Russell showed last season he is just fine with his team losing over and over again. The pact with Coach was a good move, but it would still be in his best interest to have Rob as an ally.

And is it just me, or does one of the girls (I think it was Courtney?) look like they are about to die of hunger? You can see just about every bone in her body.

I think JT got rid of Tom b/c it will keep him under the radar once they merge moreso than if James wasn't there. Everyone knows Tom is a peon, but James could come back as a strong threat (if it is a sprain and not a tear).

3/12/2010 8:37:32 AM

^^yeah courtney is disgustingly thin. its not even a survivor thing though...she is always anorexic looking.

keep james was def a bad move. i'd be surprised to see his knee improve in the next week. james did do surprisingly well "calling" for his team. i thought he was useless in anything that didn't involve strength and athleticism.

3/12/2010 12:26:57 PM

I just caught up with the DVR. I want the villains to hurry up and get to a vote. The heroes tribals are a lot less interesting.

3/15/2010 9:34:31 AM

I disagree. The past two votes have come down to JT's waffling, so it keeps you guessing as to who is going home. The Villains only vote so far was unanimous. I'm sure Russel's antics have started a ripple, and the alliance with Coach will make it more interesting, but for the most part I feel its evident how they would vote.

3/15/2010 1:04:40 PM

Russell in Tribal tonight was EPIC. Guy's just amazing.

3/24/2010 8:50:04 PM

The look on Russell's face vs. Rob's face was priceless.

3/24/2010 8:52:59 PM

lol @ tyson

what an idiot

3/24/2010 8:57:38 PM

i thought for sure russell had screwed up... that was amazing.. rob's face was priceless

3/24/2010 9:06:59 PM

And I'm sure Russell's at home now getting a kick out of seeing Rob say, "Welcome to the big leagues" as he gets jobbed.

3/24/2010 9:09:14 PM

I was also pretty amazed that the previews show that Rob continues to underestimate Russell again next week. He was saying something about how Russell gave away the idol without any regard for his own life in the game. Does he really fail to see that Russell gave away the idol to the one person that he had secretly redirected the most votes to? That giving away the idol worked out better because it actually saved himself AND Parvarti, who he's aligned with? What an idiot. Russell really is the best player that this game has ever seen. It's too bad nobody can see it until it's too late.

You know, tww sucks. Feedback forum ruined this season for me. Be ware of mambagrl's posts in there.

That said, this week was awesome. That was an incredibly STUPID move by tyson. But that's what has always done him in.

i don't think he was underestimating him. if anything he was making a case for why they had to get rid of him because of how dangerous he is.

IIRC, the quote was something along the lines of how Russell didn't care about his life in the game and that's what made him dangerous. Maybe underestimate isn't the best word, because obviously he is concerned, but it did bug me that he thought that Russell just gave the idol away and hoped that things worked out for the best/didn't care if he got voted off and that couldn't be further from the truth. I guess what I meant is that clearly Rob doesn't have any appreciation for the strings that Russell is able to pull and how easily he seems to be able to pull them.

3/24/2010 10:33:28 PM

great episode last night. the move that russell pulled was one of the best moves i can remember on survivor...really ballsy too.

i wonder why it took the heroes an extra three days to decide that voting out james because he was hurt was a better move than voting out colby/tom?

I agree, if any of that is true i'm going to be

3/25/2010 2:03:04 PM

^^^because they needed the numbers to get rid of Tom when they could. If James went home last time and tom had stayed, and with JT and Candice's waffling, it very well could have been Rupert going home this time (and honestly, I would rather Tom had stayed anyway). I don't think that's how the Heroes were viewing it when they voted out Tom, but I bet they are greatful now that they did. I think Colby can convince JT and Candice to stick with him as they move forward, they can't be that far from a merge and/or realignment anyway (I have a feeling the show will try something different this season).

The Villains had the greatest tribal council I've seen to date (but I haven't seen every season). I love how Rob was laughing at Russell for giving up the idol, but the best part was when the 4th vote for Parvati came out and Rob immediately looked scared. Russell had no doubt at all that he had convinced Tyson to switch his vote, which was probably the riskiest part of it. It was pure luck that he picked Ty out of all of them to talk to, because it had to be someone who was voting for Rusell to start with and hated Parvati enough to switch. How could he have known that Tyson was originally putting his name down?

3/25/2010 3:23:13 PM

I'm confused...
why didn't tyson just keep the votes how rob and everyone initially planned?
Didn't Rob specifically say that this could possibly happen, which is why they decided to split votes up rather than just vote for parvati?

3/27/2010 4:38:18 PM

Russell is a genius, he is always 2 moves ahead of everyone else

I think Tyson just underestimated Russell and wanted to get tribal over with.

3/27/2010 9:27:59 PM

Im still not sure if this cast has even seen Russell in action? It took place prior to them actually airing on TV. I wonder if they showed them a 1-2 hour summary edition of the season so they could all get a better idea who who Russell is.

[Edited on March 27, 2010 at 9:33 PM. Reason : t]

3/27/2010 9:33:04 PM

^ doubt it. if they had seen any footage of him from samoa they probably would've voted him out first.

3/28/2010 4:38:21 PM

ive seen every episode of every season, i dont think there has ever been anyone like russell before

3/29/2010 12:10:08 AM

well i'm sure if there's another all star season and he's on it he'll be gone as soon as his tribe loses their first immunity challenge. dude is not to be fucked with. i think the villains are definitely gonna have a problem with him next week considering the way he carried himself at tribal council.

3/29/2010 12:13:08 AM

Im betting he won over Coach with that show of "warrior spirit", and with Coach on his side - they'd have numbers to vote off Rob next

3/29/2010 1:32:19 AM

^wouldn't that just bring it to a 4-4 tie?

3/29/2010 9:28:22 AM

Yeah it would be a 4-4 tie

I think he absolutely won Coach over...it's awesome how he knows Coach is the biggest pawn in the game, something Rob failed to realize and really messed up when Coach was coming to him sobbing for friendship.

3/29/2010 10:11:21 AM

It's obvious Russell has won Parvati's vote for the rest of the season. I agree, I think coach will be on board with him as well.

How soon until Rob is out? I say he's going out in 2 weeks

3/29/2010 10:14:49 AM

I'm pretty sure they do know what he did last season, becaause early on this season someone called him the devil and said they wanted the devil on their side

I like that russell is focusing on getting jury votes...if pavarti and coach both make the merge with him then they would vote for him to win

3/29/2010 12:24:44 PM

^ are you sure? that backfired for him last season. People hate when you stand by them the whole game and then get stabbed in the back. His game is awesome, but that is his weakness.

3/29/2010 1:16:40 PM

I don't think they know...if they did they would have known that the machete didn't just disappear, they would have been looking right at Russell

3/29/2010 3:29:48 PM

the machete wasn't really a big deal, not as big as pouring out all the water.

speaking of which, he should "find" the machete now and maybe he will be more well liked by the group

3/29/2010 10:13:17 PM

1) Probst was pretty quick to ask Russell about the machete being gone when he heard it was missing
2) If the girls had seen him on earlier shows then after Russell asked them to be allies the first cut shot would have been them telling the camera, "I'm not going to be part of his dumbass girl alliance, but I'll let him think I am"

Parvati referred to him as the devil, but I think that is just her feeling about his shadiness, not that she knows anything.
3) Rob would definitely not have treated Russell like he's no threat if he had seen prior episodes...Rob's a smart guy

3/30/2010 12:15:51 AM

iirc, in the first episode someone said to the camera that she knew russell was just making alliances with everyone but she knew it was better to be with him than against him...it made me think they knew what he was like already

3/30/2010 2:44:40 PM

i just have a hard time believing the villains wouldn't get rid of him ASAP if they knew what kind of player he was.

3/30/2010 3:35:20 PM

the heroes didn't go after cirie right away even though they knew she was a dangerous player

I'm just interested to see what happens post merge, where allegiances will lie

either way, please let rupert be gone next, he pisses me off

3/31/2010 12:04:48 AM

Cirie. Dangerous? uhh...no.

3/31/2010 12:13:00 AM

^ just because she flies under the radar doesn't mean she isn't able to shake things up. she's definitely not someone you'd want to underestimate.

3/31/2010 12:17:10 AM

Not a very exciting episode, but at least it wasn't obvious right away who was going home.

That was the wrong move getting rid of Rob, I wish Coach had been more adamant about getting rid of Courtney.

This is really Rob's own fault though, if he hadn't gunned so hard for Russell, the rift never would have started. I guess you could argue its Russell's fault for going after the idol, but after he used it selflessly Rob should have dropped it.

I'm expecting a merge next week, otherwise there won't be enough of a jury.
