And Phil was totally right when he said he could tell if someone was telling the truth (like Ralph was.)

We cracked up with Boston Rob's ruse to keep everyone away from camp. Talk about a brilliant way to ensure privacy!

I was glad to see Russell go, and it was quite fun to watch him spill everything about his tribe. I thought Ralph was really going to blow it tonight, though. I wasn't thrilled when he showed the II to his alliance, but if he'd actually pulled it out at RI, he'd have needed a good smack upside the back of the head!

I felt sorry for Russell for about 5 secs. Once again a player thinks only what he does is strategic. Getting rid of a player who has made it to final three even if it means throwing a challenge is exactly what Russell would have done in their shoes. Shooting his mouth off calling his tribemates inferior/peewees to himself is typical Russell. That sort of behaviour just diminishes him. And I am not anti-Russell, his first season he became one of my favourite players ever.

I agree except Russell gets NO sorry-time from me.

Someone needs to explain RI to me. I thought that since Matt won the first challenge and then the one against Russell that he would return to his tribe. I did not see that happen. Did I miss something?

Auntiemike, nobody knows because Jeff hasn't said yet when the RI challenger will return. They're clearly not saying, to keep the suspension going.

AFAIK, currently when you win the duel on RI, you just win the right to remain on RI till the next duel. Eventually, when the chance to return to the game comes up, the person currently holding on at RI is the one person who gets to return.

Russell's girls are already on real shaky ground. They go stirring things up too much, they are outa there real soon. Well, I think they are out real soon anyway, so it probably doesn't matter.

I think in the first show Jeff may have said or at least given an idea as to when RI would end -- though I don't remember specifically. So maybe I'm wrong. Maybe RI ends when jury starts forming. Last person standing on RI goes back to Survivor on the show when TC loser is the first on the jury.

Auntiemike, from week to week loser at TC goes to RI. Then there's a "duel" there. Loser of RI duel goes home. Winner stays on RI to fight a duel when the next TC loser shows up. At some point (above?), last person standing on RI goes back to Surivor.

Am I the only one who laughed at Russell crying? When he pulled his hat over his eyes, I was practically rolling on the floor! I'm so tired of his thinking that anything he does is great game play, and anything that other people do is stupid. I am so, so very happy that he is gone for good! (And I got a real kick out of him saying that he wasn't going to come back because he's proved himself - like getting voted out first on his tribe was something he aspired to!)

I don't know, but I think the RI winner will join the merged tribe and be eligible for the jury.

I felt bad for Russell for about a nanosecond.

Phillip is great, man. He's entertaining as all get out. I don't think he's much of a player, but the longer he's there, the better for the audience, IMHO.

Omatepe is in trouble. Zapatera is clearly the superior team.

I didn't feel bad for Russell any longer than he's ever felt bad for anyone.

And Jeff making such a big deal about making history..

If Russell hadn't been on back to back seasons, people in his second season would have known to boot him early.. the rest of the repeaters were known entities but he had an advantage.

I hope Sean is correct and CBS files a lawsuit tomorrow. But I suppose their attornies are busy with Charlie Sheen right now.

Russell is nothing but a sore loser -- plain and simple. Times 3.

This is THE clip that needs to go down to posterity! The RI domino challenge & (best of all!) Russell's tears:

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/video/?pid=ekdiR7BaDX1l2ApVh3bquCiX8Tkc3woh&vs=Clips&play=true

Russell and Matt compete to see who can line up the dominos the fastest to stay on Redemption Island

agree Color, Russell is a sore loser. I felt very little empathy for him especially as I watched his tears and reminded myself of all the things he said about the women he played with in his past seasons.

I laughed for a good long time too at Russell's breakdown- full sob crying. It even makes me smile real big thinking about it.

3 strikes and Russell is out!!

Actually I laughed several times last night, Phil and his droopy panties. Too too funny.

Phillip's game is to be obnoxious so he can be carried to the end.

Whether it's Phillip's game plan or just what he is "being obnoxious" it seems Rob wants to take him to the end but I don't think it's a smart move on Rob's part.

I don't know that I laughed at Russell's sobs. But my eyes may have rolled a bit.

I was watching an episode of MASH last night, and Col. Flagg was on it. I had a eureka moment....Phillip!!! You know, that whole "I'm such a super spy" thing when really the poor guy is so cluelessly inept its beyond words.

I thought a good time to bring the RI ultimate winner back would be when they merge. I guess time will tell.
I understand they found Phil dancing on a beach. So he has something to go back to.

Sorry, but I felt really bad for Russell. I just can't see laughing at anyone who is really hurting that much at any given moment.

Thanks Julie, I was beginning to feel that I was the only one who felt sorry for Russell. Say what you will about him, I think he genuinely was heart broken over losing. Did he deserve it? Yes, but still....

I agree with Seamonkey's 11:56 post. I think Russell would have been gone this early on the second season he played if the people from that season would have gotten to see Russell's first season.

I actually yelled "YAAAAAY! when Russell lost the challenge. I started to have sympathy for him when he cried, but he ruined it by running his mouth.

I'll save my sympathy for someone more deserving. IMO, Russell Hantz has NO redeeming qualities whatsoever. He's one ugly little man, inside and out.
