I don't know that they would have done any better had they kept Russell. The teams problem is that they are not unified. Russell was not one to bring people together. Russell was never good at challenges, so he would not have been a help there.

I like Redemption Island but I do miss reward challenges and I miss when one person wins and must choose who goes with him. Maybe now that someone will have redemption next week we will get back to traditional reward challenges.

So if Matt beats Sarita next week, who do you all think he will work with? I think he'll still feel loyal to Ometepe, particularly when evictee after evictee have told him not to trust Zapatera. And I think Rob will be able to win him round.

Matt knows Ometepe, and he'll go back to them. I don't think Andrea will be quite as nice to him, though. She showed her jealousy when Krista was with Matt. BUT, he might solidify a solid six with the other 5 Ometepe minus Phillip. If it works out right, Rob could actually run this thing after the merge.

"Grant has absolutely carried his entire team on every win they have had lately. He seems to be quite good at catching and throwing balls. I wonder what that's about?"

Juju, he was a wide receiver in the NFL. Caught balls for the Chargers, Broncos and Titans.

Grant was barely a player in the NFL. I finally found just how much "experience" he had. He played six games in San Diego. Other than that, the only thing he did with Denver and Tennessee was play on their respective practice squads.

Grant's NFL career and Career Stats

I guess that's why, being a Denver fan, I'd never heard of the guy. LOL.

Even barely making the NFL is more impressive than many people think. He must have been a pretty decent athlete to do even that.

I agree it's interesting how be dominates in the challenges but we hardly see or know about him otherwise. Sign of a solid player?

He played for a good college team!

Down side is the other team probably is noticing his talent at the comps.

I have a feeling Grant doesn't have a sparkling personality so hasn't gotten a lot of face time. I think he'll go a long way & I think I like him.

I think Zap's downfall was getting rid of Russell. Someone said at tribal that they had all been unified against Russell. It doesn't matter what unifies you as long as you're unified. Russell was going to bust his butt to win challenges regardless so Russell really did unify the team. I don't remember who's idea it was to throw a challenge but it was a dumb idea.

I think Rob made a huge mistake in his treatment of Philip. He thinks he has the tribe all sown up but I think as soon as they merge, Rob will be out. He should have taken Philip aside and shown him the HII clue and said "It's you and me to the end" or something to keep Philip close. You alienate someone and they flip. It happens every season. He laughs at how stupid the other players in his tribe are but I bet they all go farther than someone (Rob) who's played 4 times and should know better.

ITA with Bonbon's 9:28 a.m. post. Russell was never that good at challenges. He lasted as long as he did in his previous seasons because everyone wanted to sit next to him at the end. The "pagonging" of the Zap tribe would have happened regardless of whether or not they threw that challenge to get rid of Russell.

Have you ever watched a baseball game where one team doesn't score any runs until the 7th inning & then suddenly every batter is hot? That's momentum & Zapatera lost momentum while Ometepe gained momentum when Zapatera came up with the brilliant idea to throw a challenge & make their life "easier".

It made MY life easier with Russell gone, so, mistake or not, I heartily thank Zapatera for booting him. I think the biggest mistake of all was the producers even letting him on the show again, and after finding out Russell was the source of all those leaks, I bet they think so too.

I agree it is momentum. It's not just a matter of counting it as one loss. It gave the other tribe hope.

Also, I recall Russell generally being good in team challenges. He was a competitor and worked hard at it. No question though that anything involving Russell is a huge risk so I'm still on the fence about it.

You are correct, Ark. However, even though Zap didn't try to win the challenge, that doesn't mean that Ometope would have lost the challenge. Ometope was way ahead of Zap on that challenge by the time they got to the puzzle and it is entirely possible that Zap would have lost even if they hadn't thrown the challenge.

Hell, Grant played on my home team and I never heard of him!!! What's THAT about? :-)

I didn't watch any shows before the Russell eviction so I don't have much to base things on. But based on his MO in the past, Russell was a divisive force on his own team. In addition, he was largely ineffective in most challenges, including physical ones.

And I totally agree with Nerovh... I think it was a huge mistake to allow that man back on television. (Ditto with Rob what's his name. Why can't they let NEW people try Survivor?)

I laughed when they showed Matt and Stephanie at R.I. and she was chattering none stop. I too would be so annoyed by her. It's like she only wanted to hear her own voice and didn't even care if Matt answered. Maybe that was her way of trying to break him down? LOL

Based on the extra clips on the CBS site, it looks like it was Ralph.

Because I love college football, I'll give Grant a pass (pun intended) for his less than stellar pro football career.

He played ball at USC and while he was way down on the depth chart, still, he was a member of the 5th ranked team in the nation in 2002, his senior year. USC went 11-2 that year under coach Pete Carroll. Grant caught 5 passes for 76 yards from his quarterback, Heisman winner Carson Palmer. And his teammate, Troy Polamalu, was tearing up the competition on the other side of the ball.

Grant wasn't necessarily a star but he played on a really good team and I bet he had a blast doing so.

Rob and Grant for F2!

Getting picked up by a pro team is quite an accomplishment. The statistical change of making it to the pros is pretty slim.

Oh I agree even getting as far as he did in the NFL is more than many hopefuls ever get. I didn't mean to demean that fact. What had me go looking for his actual playing stats was the mention that he played at Denver. Although I can't follow the team as closely as I did ten years ago, I found it odd that I'd never heard of him, especially in a high profile position as WR.

There's no questioning he's a great athlete. He's proven that on this show.

I think Steve might have played for the Cowboys for the blink of an eye...of course since I haven't watched the Cowboys since they dumped Troy Aikman I probably wouldn't have noticed in the first place...LOL!
