But thats how the jury is playing it so thats how the player has to play it.
Don't hate the player,hate the game.

how does the player know thats how the jury is going to play it? Like I said, if they judge who wins by who offends who the least, Colby and Rupert should win every time.

I dont think getting along is what should be the standard for choosing the winner...if that was the case, Colby or Rupert would win every time...Russell out played everyone..its a GAME...the object is to do whats best for you to win the game...if the jury cant figure that out, Survivor needs to do something else to reward game play and not let the jury vote...Sandra did NOTHING in that game..Russell took all the risks and played brilliantly and because there were some bruised egos they wouldnt vote for him...funnier than hell watching Boston Rob talk smack to Russell when Russell treated him like his little bitch and had him evicted....classy Rob!!


completely agree, there is something wrong with the format, Russell outplayed everyone for two seasons, but due to silly emotions and this jury system he did not win.

Russell must be a lonely man in real life.

Hey post # 1!

Congrats! !~~~!



I would have a few beers with russel no problem....

He was the best game player, he tried the hardest, and won most challenges.

hes a good guy in my books

Its a game..you have to say what you need to to get further in the game...they were never smart enough to sit down together and compare notes about what Russell was telling them. Russell took a few chances that could have backfired and resulting in him going home, against Boston Rob for instance, but they worked and Rob went home...Sandra and Parvati werent smart enough to figure anything like that and Parvati rode Russell's coattails..Russell shouldnt have given her the idol early on and let her get evicted

Like Boston Rob said, Russell was good at making it to the finals both times, but his lack of being able to form any kind of friendships with any of his tribemates has and will always be his downfall. Every Survivor who has won the game, has at least formed some kind of friendship with another castaway. Russell looks like one of those guys who probably has very few if any close fiends in his personal life. He used people and threw them aside. These people aren't that dumb. They saw right through it. And it all came to a head in the final jury scene. Even Jeri, who said Russell played a great game, changed her mind after what he had to say in the final tribal council. I believe the Survivor show purposely had almost every castaway give us their vote on television before the final just to show that Russell didn't get one vote, and what an asshole he turned out to be. And his arrogancy apparently even rubbed the producers of the show the wrong way. And I bet you he don't get invited back for another reunion show. Face it, the guy is rich in real life and is a little asshole to go with it. Not an appealing combination.

was really surprised after being able to see how he talked about people and schemed, that the audience ended up voting for Russell for the 100,000......they must really like his game play, cuz he isnt a "likeable" person....

he won the audience vote twice, which tells me he is the "peoples champ". People respect his gameplay.

I would have voted for him too. I think Russell put more effort into the game than anybody else. But I think every survivor who has won the game would probably tell you it's more than about just winning challenges and stabbing people in the back. If you don't come off as least halfway likeable among the remaining jurors despite telling a few lies along the way, in the end your not going to win it. I think this is a big reason why so many women have won the game. Most women are more social people who are better at striking up friendships than men are.

He may not be a nice guy in real life, but its just a game...who is Boston Rob to say?? He hasnt won anything either!! He was owned by Russell in that game....I agree, maybe Russell should have at least kept his alliance with Parvati, but even in big brother, they realize game play is important and respect good game play and dont take it so personally. Russell is the best player in Survivor history, the juries werent smart enough to recognize it.

I can see the some saying Russell too harsh to have any respect from the jury.

But I can not see anyone voting for someone that did FUCK ALL throughout the entire show: Sandra. What a joke.

If she is the "survivor" the human race would end quickly cause she proved she could not effectively wipe her own ass.

Seriously? you must be a young fucking punk, nice response.


Some people have kids and lives, why not just have a tad bit of class next time and post it as a "Survivor Spoiler thread"..

Instead of posting it like an "attention whore".
