I'll give Russel that one thing -- he was a good sport to Matt.

Russell thought it would be easy again to choose two young pretty females; control their thoughts, have them do all the work, lie to them, promise them final 3, call them inferior names, while they boost his ego and he crown himself king. Not this time; the rook, pawn and knight played him; and the queen had the tie breaker. Sorry - but you will never win Survivor...on your bike!

I think splitting votes is as dangerous as throwing a challenge. Unless you know for sure one person you're voting for has an idol, why do it.

So... it's true? It's really and truly true? That Russell person is out of the game for good? O.M.G. Seriously? If so, I may actually be able to watch the rest of the season!! (I really don't like Rob, I think he's media you-know, but I absolutely REFUSED to watch this show with that other person on.) O.M.G.

It is true, Costa. Russell is GONE. I wonder if it's in Survivor contract that cast members have to show up for finale and reunion. If not, I don't think Russell will.

Color - I don't think we have seen a high regard from Russell about what is and is not in his contract!

He will be there. He is a good sport about losing...didnt you all see the way he acted towards Matt? He even gave him props for the win. He has passion for this game like no other that's why he cried. It was like a blow to his gut. He didnt weep long, he got right back in the game and gave intel that would hurt the team that just lost on purpose

Well, I saw how Russell reacted to losing to Natalie and Sandra in his first two seasons. He is definitely not a good sport about losing.

You're very right Spear he wasn't. I think alot of these contestants that return try to improve on their weak areas. In regards to being a better sport upon losing Russell did that this season so good for him.

We don't see the time lapse of everything because of editing. He could have been crying for 10 mins or an hour, we don't know how long it took Russell to compose himself. Russell could give as many clues as he wants about is old tribe but I don't think it'll matter since the other team seems completely weak as far as winning challenges. I doubt they'll go into the merge with any significant numbers.

Precisely, Lilfair! That I why I was so disappointed in Rob's DUMB move to vote out a strong young man when their tribe was already one man short!

I, for one, am glad it was "strong, young man" who was Russell's opponent on RI. It gave Russell a challenge and he lost, fair and square. So glad it wasn't a weak player that Russell could have demolished in the challenge. Does anyone think Russell has "little man" syndrome? Or is it just bullying?

Aiunti I think he suffers from both. But I don't think Russell is that great in challenges and Francquela probably would have beat him in that challenge too.

From what is shown of Russell on the show he does seem to have little man syndrome but he 's also a little #$$@$@%%$!! I agree that it's unlikely that Russell would have won that challenge regardless of who was at RI. His crying fit was priceless. Poor little man felt sorry for himself. Too bad.

If Russell didn't show up for the finale, he would not get his stipend.. of course maybe they will be taking that and more if they sue him? But I'm sure he wants more time on camera anyway; he'll be there. Unless he is being detained somewhere else, a la Richard Hatch.

Just sayin' that there are also some big obnoxious men out there (and little obnoxious women and big obnoxious women). LOL - Consider Richard Hatch for example. Obnoxious comes in many sizes and flavors.

LOL Jimmer. Tis true! But as a short woman who's dated more than her fair share of short men, I can tell you short man syndrome is quite real and Russel seems to have a bad case of it.

As a very tall woman, I also have a lot of experience with short man syndrome. It is a very real phenomenon. Not all short men have it, though. But, from what is shown on television, Russell does.

Oh, that man most definitely has a short man complex. He is constantly the aggressor. As a woman who is often taller than the men she knows, this is definitely a real syndrome. Fortunately, none of the men I know well exhibit the issue!

Here is a video interview Jeff Probst did with Russell shortly after this episode aired. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKdN_D1KUiE

Nooooo. I do not need to see Russell again on Survivor. It seems on this interview Russell is just looking for respect for himself. I cannot respect someone who repeatedly calls women beotches and his beotches. Again, he fully knows the meaning and connotation of the word. I'm sure there are other similar negative words he uses and things he does. I do not need to see Russell again.

I made it to 1:23 mins in and had to turn him off. "I'm not Superman," says he. Indeed.

I listened all the way through! It seems that not only will he be in everyone's mind for the remainder of this season, he will be in their minds for the rest of their lives!
