Does Steve remind anyone else, just a little, of John Slattery on Mad Men?

So what do you all think? Was it a good strategic move to throw the challenge, lose a strong team member (in the challenges) and lose the tarp and extra gear in order to get Russell out at this early point in the game. Is Russell that big a threat with a three person alliance against six? Plus Russell is obviously an ideal person to go to the end with as he loses to whoever he is up against every time.

Sooooooo happy!!! I wish that Francesca had won against Matt though, because I think she'd have a better chance of beating Russell than Matt does.

I think it was a good strategic move because they should have had no doubt that Russell cannot be trusted. Tribal council just proved they were right, with Stephanie making it completely clear, despite what she said, that they were enemies and would not be pursuing a common goal.

Yes, best to send Russell to RI early.. maybe in time he will find a challenge he's not so great at and be gone.

I thought they should have shown Jeff ask if anyone wanted to use an II.. I assume Ralph didn't but still.. should have shown it.

Stephanie totally overdosed on Russell Kool Aid and she's his pitbull.

Hmm now she won't have hit to carry to finals.. hope she goes to RI soon.

And I was hoping Matt would be out but.. after all the rather pathetic sagging, too short, um, sticks.. he finally used his stick viagra, I guess.

Best show ever!

Jimmer: So what do you all think?

Is Russell that big a threat with a three person alliance against six? Plus Russell is obviously an ideal person to go to the end with as he loses to whoever he is up against every time.

Just because Russell is male doesn't mean he's any stronger than, say, the firefighter woman - he doesn't seem to perform so much in the challenges, certainly NOT around camp. They also see that the other team has already lost two stronger players anyways which would reduce the impact (if there were any).

In the meantime, Zapater tribe isn't stupid enough to watch a 'One Trick Pony' like Russell sabotage (for the 3rd time) his tribemates' opportunity to play the game & win. Russell's MO is precisely the same as the 1st two seasons. Surround himself with the young women and lay around doing nothing, while his tribe has to do all the work.

I can appreciate the firefighter woman Julie didn't like the idea of tossing a challenge. But, she's clearly not so stupid as those two little girlies in Russell's harem thought she was. By Julie assuring Stephanie & Russell that she was on their side initially, it stopped them searching for anyone else they could talk into backing him since they seemed overconfident.

Oh THIS was funny! CBS brought in the YT, but again this week they didn't give any comments just flashed their votes.

Survivor: Redemption Island - Tribal Council Voting
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0iJTAqRK1o

For Russell:
Steve
Mike
Ralph

For Ralph
Russell (w/smirk on his face)
Stephanie (big smirk)
Krista

For Stephanie
David
Sarita
Julie (looking firefighter earnest)

Yep, Julie was the last one to cast her vote and it was for Stephanie!

It could well be that Julie flipped her vote after listening to Stephanie play pit bull at tribal.

It was good to see Russell voted out. He's got an incredible sense of entitlement. Don't get me wrong, he's a great Survivor strategist. But, he's also much hated, and anyone who has seen him play should want him gone sooner rather than later. He would destroy them if they kept him.

I can only imagine how hard the producers worked on Julie to get her to vote with Russell. If Survivor had live feeds like BB, we'd probably have seen her disappear for long "DR sessions".

I was afraid Julie would mess up the plan but she came through in the end.

Stephanie should have kept her mouth shut. She thought she was safe because Russell had her back. Steph might have been the one to turn Julie against Russell.

How the mighty have fallen!

Russell finding Matt at Redemption Island was a complete blind side. Yea!

I'm wondering if Julie didn't go back and tell the tribe about her conversation with Rus and the koolaid drinkers but tptb wanted a bit more drama and didn't show us Julie spilling the beans?

I liked that Russell was pissed that he was voted out. I don't have much faith in his abilities to win any challenge against anyone. I'm very happy this morning ;)

Godessatlaw said "She Stephanie kind of reminds me of Ivette."

As much as I hate for teams to throw challenges, ITA with everything Biscotti wrote and why it was a smart move to throw this challenge to get rid of Russell.

I dislike when challenges get thrown. I don't know it still comes down to numbers for me. I hope Rob's team kills them in challenges now!

the Zaps weren't any less sneaky or dishonest as Russell was. In this game I mean- now maybe they will not keep bringing back past players.

I think that is exactly what happened..imo - she just got cocky and woldnt shut up... but I got to say, I really cants stand Ralph. I kind of wanted his cocky azz voted out.

not a fan of russel, and was hoping that Matt could make to the end and come back from RI, but now I want russell to kick everyones azz and come back with revenge ...

I like Stephanie, and she's still my pick to win, but she turned into a mini-NaOnka at Tribal Council.

With Russell gone now, she and Krista are going to have to re-think their strategy. I'm not sure being so vocally aggressive is the smartest move now.

I loved the thought of Rob sitting at home watching the challenge on TV last night and realizing that the other team threw it.

Even though they "threw" the competition, I still don't know that they could have beaten Rob at the puzzle. Rob had a lead on them and he's the best puzzle. solver. ever. on Survivor and even if Russell's team had "tried" I still think Rob would have beaten them.

BTW, Sean - do I need to set up a google account to post comments on your blog? If you haven't noticed yet, I usually have a lot to say.

No, you don't need a Google account. Just select Name/URL and type whatever name you want to use (Lexie_girl, I presume? :-)), and then leave your comments.

And I agree, Rob is the master at puzzles, and he would have won, but it's funny picturing him last night still.

The self crowned king of Survivor has fallen! Yippee! I for one hope he stays down for the count. Can't wait to see Rob's reaction when he sees Russell is gone.
