Sometimes I'm not sure if I hate that guy, or if I admire his gameplay.
Maybe they can blind-side Russell at Tribal Council -- that's the only way they'll be able to get rid of him if he doesn't expect it. He's so full of himself, he probably wouldn't believe they'd vote him out anyhow!
Keeping in mind that the show is heavily edited and we're only seeing what the producers want us to see.......
Russell: I agree with hucifer - I DO hate him, but you have to admire the way he gets the other people on his tribe to do
exactly what he wants them to do, to vote out the person
he decides should go.
At some point, I hope somebody on the Fao Fao tribe wises up to what he's doing, and they figure out some way to blind-side him.
Supposedly all of them have watched Survivor before, so why haven't any of the others tried looking for a hidden immunity idol? (Granted, maybe some of the others HAVE looked for it, but those scenes are on the cutting room floor.)
Also, the Fao Fao tribe is now down 3 people. Russell is sabatoging his own tribe - I can't believe that the rest of them aren't thinking to themselves "our canteens didn't empty themselves and Jaison's sock didn't just hop into the fire/disappear by itself.....somebody on this tribe is doing these things." Right now, they don't know who to trust, so they're probably not talking about it with anyone else. I'm sure that's why Russell wanted Betsy gone - her cop instincts were too strong and he knew he'd get caught sooner if she was still around.
I really liked Betsy; sad to see her gone. If she had been on a tribe with anyone other than Russell, I think she would have gone far.
Yasmin: what an idiot! C'mon....you're sent to the other tribe for 2 days. That was her chance to get buddy/buddy with some of them, learn who's who, where their weak link is, etc., etc. and what does she do? Jumps right in and INSULTS them about their performance in the challenges? That whole scene with Ben.....both of them were WAY out of line.
And neither Yasmin nor Russell are thinking ahead - MERGE. Yasmin just made enemies of everyone on the Fao Fao tribe. If she's still around at the merge, she'll be gone. Russell is sabatoging his own team; their distrust of each other is going to affect their performance in challenges, if it hasn't already. So they keep going to tribal council after tribal council, their numbers diminish. When it comes to the merge, they have fewer people and get picked off one by one by the other tribe. Unless Russell thinks he can play his mind games on the other tribe after a merge? But the other tribe will have how many days to bond amongs themselves.
