    You're going to have to be more specific ... 99% of us lost what little interest we had in this show about 8 years ago.

    Russell, considered by many to be the greatest Survivor player in Survivor history was robbed....the jealous idiotic jury awarded the blond chick, who he chose to bring with him, the title of sole survivor....he was in charge from day one and decided who would go home every single tribal council..he dominated like no other...even found all 3 hidden immunity idols, two without a single clue to their locations...this guy was hard core and controlled absolutely everything...

  • I agree, total sham that Russell lost. I felt so bad for him seeing how emotional he was about it. Really just pathetic that those people were so petty that they couldn't give the money to someone who was clearly the best. On the bright side the new all stars season looks like it's going to be amazing.

    I have very little respect for the 'sit back and be taken under his wing' mentality that she admitted to. Russell was the best, by far.

    On the other hand, I think that was the best strategy for her, so I'm not real sure what I think.

    Did Mick recieve any of the votes? (did they show how everyone voted?)

    Russell then goes on to offer her 10G for the title. And she denies him even when he goes up to 100G. How hilarious is that. I was thinking she was showing some integrity by turning him down, but in a week she will be a nobody, and I'd rather have an extra 100G floating around rather than the title of 'lone survivor' or whatever it is.

  • I was shocked he didn't win. He played the best game of all-time.
  • Russell looked like he didnt know whether to cry, smile, vomit, or shit in his pants.....When he realized he had lost....

  • I am still in complete shock that Russell lost. What a joke. As far as I'm concerned he played the best reality show game that anyone has EVER played. He was brilliant every step of the way. Some of his moves looked strange at the time throughout the season but they all worked out for him because he had thought every contingency through.

    90% of the time the jury votes for who played the game the best even if they were a victim of the backstabbing. But as my wife said, it was kind of a strange cast of characters this year. At least he won the Americas award. That's got be some validation for him. And I'd be willing to bet that had he won the game he would have donated the million dollars to charity.

    I loved Russell, I really wanted to see him win..but it was all in the hands of the jury, you have to pick the right players to go up against..he got too cocky.

    Russel should have won hands down...I'm pretty sick of Survivor and will probably not watch it next season.
    If you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to worry about.

    Natalie had a lot to do with the decisions as well. She convinced Russell to get rid of Brett.....she deserved it

    Did you happen to watch the season? Russell decided when Natalie could take a crap in the woods..she did absolutely everything Russell told her to do, as did everyone else on that damn show...it really was just a case of major sour grapes..Jaison was bitter as hell after Russ burned his ass...these guys all voted via emotions..Natalie did nothing, nothing! Not only did Russell take himself into the finals but also decided exactly who the other two people were going to join him....this has never even been heard of prior..it was remarkable....please tell me that Natalie outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted Russell..lol..

    Right on, what a bunch of fucking sour grape losers..you could not have played the game any better than Russ did..complete dominance from start to finish..3 idols found, won pivotal competitions, major role in every single elimination..he hand picked the final 3..Natalie did nothing..her final speech was even pathetic until her hero saved her....both Mic and Natalie admitted a bunch of times that Russell deserves to win..joke is right!

    I watched the whole season and every other season

    Natalie let Russell be the bad guy....she had an agreement with him very early that they would go to the finals together

    I agree that Russell finding the idols, etc. was unheard of but the guy was an egomaniac. He should have kept his mouth shut instead of bragging all the time.

    And give me a break....Natalie won...she did outwit and outlast

    If Russell was really smart he would have taken Shambo and/or Jaison instead of Natalie.....she convinced him otherwise

    Russell got robbed. The jury vote was purely emotional, they didn't want to give it to Russell.

    As much as I hated him in the beginning , and thought that he was too overconfident near the end, he's by far one of the most entertaining players this show has ever seen. Loved him dropping the socks into the fire during the reunion. Thought that was great.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Russell was going to get rid of Brett anyway, she didn't need to convince him of anything.
  • inmytreeinmytree Posts: 4,741
    wow, that show is still on...

    I guess if this guy was the best ever,he should have won...there is a saying..."that's why they play the game..."

    It also sounds like the champ wants a sweet piece of this Russell fella...TV crushes are sooo cute... :lol:

    Of course Russell had a deal with Natalie to go to the finals. He made the same exact deal with just about everyone. What else did Natalie do aside from taking orders from Russell? Give me a break..and as you eluded to, it was completely Russell's choice as to who to take with him, he chose Natalie and Mick, because no one in their right mind could ever say that these two slugs outwitted, outplayed, and outlasted him..of course he could have taken Shambo or Jaison, but it wouldn't have mattered as the jury would have rather awarded that rat Natalie killed instead of the best Survivor player in history....

    She was not relevant at all...I mean, I guess a nice person was awarded the money, but that's about the extent of it...

    Why are people so surprised that the show is still on? It's a ratings hog and nearly beat out Sunday night football last night....and I don't want any piece of Russell..just pissed that the game was not respected....the best player in Survivor history got the shaft courtesy a bunch of hipster/emo yoga doing sore losers..it's Survivor, not who is the nicest person..anyway, I can't believe this is even a debate...and I'm debating with someone who didn't even watch show ;) ..

    I think the Champ has a man-crush on Russell. He does have a daddy-bear kinda thing goin on, doesn't he? ;)
    edit: lol....missed inmytree's crush comment....great minds, I guess :D
    I watched about 20 minutes of the show last night, (the first time I've watched since season 1), and I was able to tell that this Russell guy deserved to win...but would not. Human nature...you have that much control, you're guaranteed to have people revolt out of spite.

    He was like Babe Ruth calling home run shots. At least Russell won the viewers best player of the season by a landslide....I think it speaks volumes that the people who love and understand this game didn't feel that Natalie was deserving of top 3....she did nothing..

    The audience vote was interesting. I'm glad Russell won that. And I think it should tell the casting crew a lot about their viewing audience. They need to stop relying so heavily on recruiting eye candy off of the streets. They get their most interesting players through the applications.

    Again, you are completely lost ;) ..she did not make the top 3 in the viewers choice for the best player of the year....not even close...yes, the jury that hated Russell for outplaying, outwitting, and outlasting them awarded her the money, but she never was or ever will be considered a good player..please, let's get with it already..
