Russell is skyrocketing up my all time list and I mean FAST. This guy is a Survivor genius. He's made one misstep, which you can totally understand him doing, but besides that he's been flawless. That's one of the best blindsides of all time. He's been the one person keeping this season interesting, and it just got even better. It's really no surprise now as to why.. {Spoiler}he's the only Survivor from Season 19 to make the All Stars II season coming up immediately after this one. At least from what I originally read.

That was epic. The only question I have is why didn't they blindside one of the guys? It would have got rid of a strong competitor for individual challenges.

Because there only link to the other tribe is Shambo. Ideally they would still need to flip another person to actually have control, atm they are even. The girls treated Sham like crap and after Russel2 went down the guys on his tribe realized they were in the lurch, the girls were tight, so they got Sham on their side and regained control of their tribe. So with Sham as the only in to the bigger tribe and she wants to break the snotty girls who won't let her sit at the cool kids table so by doing that they get Sham fully on board and if they break that clique they have a way better chance of getting another flip.

Now that Russell has toned down his arrogance, I'm really beginning to come around to how well this guy is playing the game. I can't believe he found that idol without a clue, amazing.

And now everybody's going to look for that hidden idol so that Russell will be the next one to go. I honestly hope that Russell sticks for a little while longer, but not win.

Russel has nothing to worry about. His competitors are idiots.

This guy may have no peer as far as playing this game goes when all is said and done. He's absolutely unbelievable. The morons were following him to make sure he didn't find that immunity, so fat Russell out ran FITNESS GURU DAVE and found it after giving him the slip. Something about that is so hilarious to me.

Im still confused about the whole picking stone thing. They only did that once, and since then every time there was a tie there would be a fire making challenge.

Yeah, after Paschal got kicked in the nuts via stone ejection it was always fire. Yet in some seasons when discussing a close vote people would be like "but it's the stones! what if we have to pick them?". I guess this is the iron clad official way to do it now. Probably a good way to ward off ties and make the people play the game, just like John and Sham.

Odds are someone will turn, like we have seen.

Russel single handled revived this show. Somehow this season has like the largest collection of bad players and the single best player, it is almost not fair. I say just give Russel the million and have the last few episodes be the Russel and friends song and dance hour. If Russel had been voted out on any of the earlier seasons this show would be awful to watch.

Show is exciting, but ticked me off a bit. I really wanted to root for the Galu, but they are eating themselves up one by one. Rocket Scientist John is a conceited moron. He is the real poison eating up the Galu tribe. He is partly to blame for the first Galu Erik, to be eliminated, with his obsession to vote off fellow Galu, the supposedly 'stupid, and weak' Monica, instead of voting off Foa Foa one by one.
So now he betrays Galu, and votes off Laura, all because he is scared that his own head was on the chopping block of votes, even though it was simply a ruse. He is also scared that he might be eliminated in the case of the Rock Tie Breaker. This guy seriously thinks he's the mastermind strategist here, just because he is a Rocket Scientist, and thinks everyone else is stupid. Sure he bought himself a few more days in the game, but for sure he isn't winning now, after cutting ties with his own tribe, and being a minority to the Foa Foa's. He's on everyone's chopping block, especially for being a challenge threat and probably won't get votes if he makes it to the end. I predict he'll be the next to get voted off.
