nah, if he makes it to the final two he's most likely going to have so much cred developed from the larger tribe for taking them down it will be money in the bank.

He's got the biggest balls of anyone I can remember in this game. That was the most brilliant move I think I have ever seen.

Caution: Spoiler below.
To hang that idol around his neck prior to the discussions even starting is the work of a genius in the game of Survivor.

Freakin brilliant. Monica might have tried to stir up some sh!t but it might have solidified who Russell wants to take to the final. Mick and Jaison are nervous...so probably Natalie and Shambo, who I doubt will cross Russell.

He needs to get rid of Brett next week and then can probably run the table, like he's already been doing.

nah, if he makes it to the final two he's most likely going to have so much cred developed from the larger tribe for taking them down it will be money in the bank.

Pretty sure 3 make the final, and I agree, he's gained a ton of respect for his gamesmanship. He's lied and people know that, but he's also been brilliant and they know that too. A previous final I saw, the jury didn't have too much sympathy for the poor guy and went with the asian guy who was pretty well off based on being the better player.

Not necessarily. Jaison mentioned last night that it could be either 2 or 3, so they haven't told them yet. The first 12 seasons all had 2 in the finals. Since then, 2 out of 6 seasons have had 2 in the finals. In Survivor Micronesia they all expected to have 3 in the finals, because the previous 3 seasons had had 3 in the finals. They didn't know until they got tree mail about the last immunity challenge that there would be only 2 in the finals.

yeah, last season they went back to only two
i think the producers decide once they get down to the end and base the number on who is left, how they think it'll play out better/more drama/better show/ratings etc etc etc

Someone make a Epic Fail jpeg with the Galu Tribe.
I hope Russell wins this, he deserves it the most for playing the game.

lol how does one find so many idols~

That's why I still think you can't go against russel in the finals, you have to get rid of him. When he makes his case for why he should win he'll have it locked up. Finding all the idols, eliminating so many people, defeating the other tribe when they should have been gone from thet get go, etc.

If that's not outwit, outplay, outlast, I don't know what is.

I can so see the next season of survivor... everyone will be searching for the immunity idol without any clues.

Russel's making no bones about it. And he'll say the same if he gets before a jury - "I'm here to play a game to win 1 million dollars and will do anything to win" I even like how he's analyzing the other side "hell, their best move is to vote me out, that's what I'd do".

If he is an exec I wouldn't be surprised. He's got that ruthless WIN mentality.

At the same time, everyone is going to know Russell is a multi-millionaire. Whether that's true or not is another story. But some people on the jury will give their vote to someone who needs the money.

And he can just say "I told you I will do anything to win, I said that to throw you guys off". Remember his whole story at the beginning of the game? He's lied so much you simply don't know what to believe. I still wouldn't want to go against him in the final, no way. As much as I would hate to see it happen russel is going home soon or they'll at least make him play the idol.

And then he'll just find it again, LOL!

What ever happens, the producers are making it look like there's going to be a 3-3 split with the final 6, with Brett, Nat, and Mick in one alliance. The only way Russell is going home is if his new alliance loses the immunity idol challenge and he doesn't play the idol.

but a lot of jury members do NOT vote that way, they either vote for whoever they like, whoever they think "didn't lie" or who needs the money

the money/oil man story is going to hurt russell in the final (if he makes it)

many survivor jury members have historically NOT voted for the person who played the best (outwit, outplay, outlast)

I see the point. I guess I'm going off of some of the current jury reactions where they are WOWed by some of what he's done and after the votes.

Is Shambo the biggest idiot that played Survivor? Or does that crown still belong to Sugar from Survivor: Gabon?

i was very surprised shambo got booted, i really thought russell would want her in the final as no one on the jury would vote for her
only thing i can figure is he is really worried about brett and thinks it is more important for mick or jasooon to beat brett in the next immunity challenge so they can vote out brett before the final

looks like it'll be a 3 person finalle

monica was looking pretty damn fine up on the jury.

anyways, i think russell somewhat made a bad move. granted, i think he has natalie in a better position than they are making it seem on TV, but it seems with the little bonding mick, natalie, and brett did, if they DO have a small alliance, that it will be them three agianst jaison and russell. if it was russell, jaison, and shambo, they could have picked them off if need be.

but i dunno, this season has been really great. im going to apply again for the next season after this one is over. i never heard back after appying after last seasons airing . maybe i should post my video now since i know i didn't make it heh.

This religious alliance angle of Brett's is fascinating. Mick didn't strike me as the type to get "roped" into a group prayer with Natalie during the challenge. Asking for divine intervention when competing at a game of skill and luck is iffy at best, but when it backfires everybody looks silly. Russel saw through that instantly.

On the other hand, I'd tell Natalie anything she wanted to hear to scheme a little taste of that southern belle.

It will be interesting if three Galu members make it to the final three because the entire jury is Foa Foa.

If Russel makes it he will most likely win imho. Even though he blindsided half the jury, days go by and the shock kinda wears off and I think most would think that it was a very good move/play.

However the ONE thing that always infuriates me about Survivor is that rarely does the majority cast their vote based off who played the game well. The majority always talks about "honesty" and "friendship" and crap like that. I just don't get it. Its not a dating/make a friend show. Its OUTWIT your opponent.

I would like to think that no matter HOW BAD I got blindsided and screwed, I could at least give that person credit that they obviously outplayed me and deserved to win.

<edit> BTW, Shambo was fucked whether she was voted off or not. Even after they tossed her to the side, she gave the Foa Foa tribe credit and props. She couldn't even see that they just used her and abused her the entire way then tossed her to the side at the end. So naive it's scary.
