Are you watching? Will Russell find the immunity idol again!? I sure hope not.
This is the first season of Survivor that I have watched regularly in quite a while. I've got to admit that I have become a fan of Russell and I would like to see him win. At first I thought he was going to be just another "Johnny Fairplay", but now that comparison seems like apples to oranges. Unlike "Fairplay", Russell has charisma, intelligence, and an understanding of the game. Everything he does and says is designed to fit into his Machievellian plans to win the game, which is how I've always thought the game should be played. I can't stand the contestants who sign up for the show and just go hang out and think they should win because they "haven't lied to anybody" and have "maintained their integrity". If that's the case, then they're not playing the game and certainly don't deserve to win it.
Like most of you I detested Russell at the beginning, especially the way he trashed the women. Now that I've watched him, I must say I'm rooting for him, though I doubt he'll make it to the end. He's a smart man and probably the best player ever. Like he said, he's there to play and win the game, not go for a picnic and slide down a rock.
The only players I really don't like is the tall skinny guy, Dave I think, on the Galau tribe. He's too bossy and a show off and thinks he's the greatest. I also think that Monica is kind of dense and very useless. I like Shambo and I hope she goes far. She's kinda stupid, though. Losing a chicken was not a good move but I don't like the way skinny guy puts her down and yells at her.
Go Russell!

Like some of the other posters, I really dislike Russell and wanted him out NOW...but last week he got the ball rolling that got arrogant smart-alec Eric kicked out, which made me laugh, and then this week when he pulled off the surprise at Tribal council was just hysterical! I'm hoping he finds the idol again!
Truthfully, the other people on his team are somewhat useless. The girl, whatever her name is, gets points for her social game, poor Mitch(?) is a nice looking doctor, but hasn't really done anything the whole game, and Jaison...well..he can swim a little, but that's it.
The people on the other team are sort of tiresome. The rocket scientist is a very good looking man, and probably their biggest asset...so why did Foa Foa waste their time voting out Erika(?)? Just so Shambo could get back at Laura? I guess if that's the only way to get Shambo's vote, but otherwise, it seemed like a bad idea. Shambo just seems slimey.
Anyway, at least there's a reason to watch more than there was earlier in the season. If Russell hadn't been so bent on making his teammates miserable by burning their socks and dumping canteens, maybe he would have had more people with him at the merge and he wouldn't be in the 'must-find-the-idol' frenzy he's in.

Yeah, I'm watching and am starting to change my first impressions of Russell! At first I thought he was an arrogant pig and I still think that BUT he sure is playing the game!!! It takes some skill to be that sneaky! And lucky too!!
I was shocked when that southern belle beaned that rat and then ATE it!!! Of course, she shared it but ick! I don't believe I could kill something like that unless it was threatening me no matter how hungry I was!!!!
Do you have a favorite yet?? I sure don't!! There are a couple of cute guys but so far they haven't shown much smarts!!!! LOL
