If they paid me a million to do Survivor I would do it, but wouldn't ever do it otherwise. Even on the extreme unlikeliness you would win the game, you get the million bucks, but after taxes... down to like 600k (just guessing could be way off), then you can buy a house...whoopee 😛

Probably a really cool experience though if you think you have the will power to stay with it. No food and no sleep make jack a crazy motherfucker.

550K you get.
 
I love Russell's gameplay because he's constantly living on the edge. Next Tribal will be the fight of his life and I can't freaking wait to see what he comes up with. I have a hard time believing the teaser for next week's episode but, then again it's not like Rupert or Colby have any other chance to advance than to go with Russell.

I just hope that Russell(The Immunity Idol MASTA) knows that someone definitely has it and he needs to send chatter about voting for Parvati or Sandra and switch their vote at the last minute. Good Luck Russell!
 
he's got the 2 guys and could conceivable swing jerri. gonna be a hell of a show.


and i just checked the guide, next week is it so it's time for down and dirty.

Jerri voted daniella out, which was a shocker to me. That's great game play for her imo, she never was a fan of parvati, but it breaths life into Rupert, Colby, and Sandra, who of course already has the idol.

Bottom line, Russell walked the talk, but there's just no way he's going to get votes from the jury...especially after throwing daniella under the bus so brutally.
 
i think it was a good move by russel, he lost the last game by continuing his regular method till final jury, this time he's shaking it up a bit sooner and that could be what pushes him over the top if he survives.
 
Candice: "Karma's a bitch." LOL... the look of satisfaction on Rupert and Colby's face said it all. Gotta give it to Rupert on fake finding the immunity idol.

Regarding the 2nd tribal council, Russell is getting ultra paranoid now. If Sandra is smart, she'd try to take Parv's place and ride him (hell, protect him against Parv if she has to) to get the million dollars. At this point, it would be dumb dumb dumb for any player left to get rid of the most hated player in the game.

Sandra's still gunning for Russell. In the preview, he says 'you're either with me or you're against me'....she replies, 'I'm against you russell.'

She's trying to piss him off so she can use her idol and take him out imo.

Russell wants Parvati out before sandra tho. Parvati is a big risk in front of the jury and her and russell are over. It's going to be really tough for her to stay in the game now.

If he gets that far you're probably right, but that's the thing I hate about survivor. All these bitter whiners get to vote for who they think should win, so they just vote with whoever they hate the least instead of who played the game the best. Russel has played a truly great game this far. When he knows he's not in control anymore, he changes things up.

Colby continues to suck it up 😛 Not to mention all the other players who gave up on the challenge about 10 mins in to get some effin peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches. Seems like more people would be after the immunity necklace.

Rupert played it smart with the fake idol, and was second in both challenges. Villains should have gotten rid of him tonight if they were smart.

Kinda weird my two favorite players left are Russel and Rupert, opposites of each other 😛 - Looks like they could be teaming up next week but I don't know how Rupert could trust Russel at this point. Anyways, hope one of them wins.

Thinking Sandra or Jerri will end up in the final two, and whoever is opposite them will win. Who knows though. This season has been crazy awesome.
 
Fuster: You are 100% on; my feelings exactly.


If anyone doesn't have Russel on their "MUST BE WITH ME ON THE TOP THREE" list.. man they are just dumb;

There has never been better insurance that at least one of the top three will get no votes!

if you want proof, just look at the ponda-rosa footage.
 
Russel should win if he takes Colby and Rupert. If he doesnt, it just means the Villians are cry babies for getting beat by someone meaner than them.
 
Russell is bad at closing. While I feel he's the best player in this game, and perhaps the best of all time, he sucked before the jury last season.

Before the jury he needs to do an about face. Become more humble and condescending. Explain that if they look at the game as it's presented, he outlasted, outplayed and outsmarted everyone. Instead, he's Russell and his arrogance does him in.

Of course when you play at the level he does, it may be impossible to do an about face like that. This tribal council sounded his death knell if he ends up before the jury in the final. Too vicious and too close to the end.

Keep in mind there's another way to win a million dollars... win the best-player million that usually accompanies these 'all star' shows.
 
I'm thinking if russel makes it to the final this time he has a much better chance of winning. I don't think he has the "we hate the best player" feeling from most of the heroes like he did last game.

His biggest challenge will be the next council vote. Right now I'd say the most likely to win if in the final council list goes parv, russel, and then rupert. If parv doesn't win the next challenge I could easily see the guys getting jerri to vote with them and take her out----the big unknown is if sandra would let parv use the idol in such a case and allow the two of them to take out someone else, probably russel.

Who cares about the money...that would an awesome experience. It's a game...pure and simple. I've considered sending in a tape as well...just never got around to a good idea on something interesting to film.

Russell is good...but I think Pavarti is a lot better after watching this season. Last night she should have made more of an effort to keep Danielle...but that has been her first mistake. Other than that, she's played flawlessly. Russell is a scrappy player...but he's been tripping over himself now that he's been outed as a trouble maker. I think he's going to have a hard time staying in the game over the next couple of weeks.

I don't think Sandra would ever let anyone else use her idol...but maybe she'll surprise me.
 
guys sandra does not have the idol yet...

she found another clue to the idol. she never even read it.

(unless i just completely missed when she read what she found)

She found the idol. Along with it is a piece of paper that says "Hey you found an idol".

I think russel will make it to the end and get screwed again.

They never showed the idol, but when she heard that everyone thought Rupert had the idol she said she knows he doesn't because she has it.
