Bad move last night. Losing on purpose this early. Wow. How stupid are these people?

It never ceases to amaze me James...it's like some of these people either go whacko as soon as they get off the plane/boat...or they've never watched a season of Survivor.

Crying because her "best friend" that she's known for all of 3 days was booted out...really???

I'll say this much...the editors had me going though...I really thought Russell pulled it off again.

Yes, I was very disappointed when the firelady changed her mind. That would have been awesome! Ressell would still be in the game, and Ralph and his hidden immunity idol would have been gone-at least to Redemption Island. I wonder if they get to keep the immunity idol on RI.

No one from this tribe will get to the end because they are just too stupid. The firelady may get to the end, but only because she was the only one that questioned them throwing the challenge just to vote out Ressell.

Russell isn't too good on challenges, so I don't think he'll fair well on RI. Though, when he is charged up he sometimes steps up. He started down his normal path too early this time. He didn't build up some of the relationships he needed with more of the tribe like he did in the past. So he was really left with just two on his side. Bad move.

True. But unlike both the other times, he had a target on his back right from the beginning. Remember the last time he played, even though it was allstarts, it was filmed before his first game aired so no one knew his strategy so he was able to replicate it.
This time around, everyone knows what he's up to. If I saw him on my tribe, I'd move to get him eliminated as soon as possible too.
Rob is different because he can charm his way into people's good books; Russell just doesn't have that going for him.

I'm glad Russell's gone - I can't stand that guy. His arrogance got him this time as he failed to adapt his style foolishly thinking he can use the same strategy that he used the first couple of seasons he was on the show.

Rob also happens to have an enormous set of survival skills which helps endear him to his tribe members.

james99 · 2011-03-04, 09:31 AM

Rob is also surrounded by idiots. I think the casting folks go out of their way to find gullable people that can easily be manipulated. On another note, Mr. Special Agent man was on TMZ last night in a nice car.

SiriusRiderFan · 2011-03-09, 09:52 PM

RUSSELL is gone! I am happy now. Rob's team won't last too long until they destruct, it's Rob, Grant one crazy dude and 3 skinny girls who suck in challenges.

Neild · 2011-03-12, 03:52 AM

Or is tricky editing at work? They sure are playing up secret agent man's dumbness.

Inzane · 2011-03-17, 12:51 PM

Highly predictable outcome last night. (In every regard: Who wins the redemption island challenge, which team wins the immunity challenge, which team member gets voted out, etc.)

Yawn....

dm_4u · 2011-03-17, 02:06 PM

Yes I hate when a team has large numbers right off the hop...it won't get too interesting until they get close to the merge now.

carlost2 · 2011-03-17, 02:12 PM

I watch the show and at the same time I watch Jeff do live tweets about the show (which IMO is great), he answers a lot of questions during commercial breaks.

One of the things he says is "do not underestimate Phillip"

james99 · 2011-03-17, 03:29 PM

The only piece that was predictable was the person being voted out. The challenge could have gone either way. Redemention island could have gone either way.

I would love to see Mr. Secret Agent Man screw Rob over.

He's so hated, he's the perfect person to keep.

james99 · 2011-03-31, 09:19 AM

I'm sure Russell is happy his team is falling apart.
