Well, I laughed at Russell. He's like a typical bully--a coward at heart, who can dish it out, but can't take it. Then, sniff, sniff, he went right back to talking nasty about everyone else. Phillip is clueless, but he brings the funny.

I felt bad for Russell, and so did my son! When he saw Russell crying and the sad music playing in the background he got very, very upset! I am glas Russell spouted off at the end - made it more interesting and it shut Sarita up pretty quick. Okay when Ralph showed the tribe the HII (which I wish he kept it a secret) the guys were like: WE have the power! Over what? 2 young girls? big whoop, I hope the previews are right and things get shaken up over at the Zaps. Now at Rob's tribe, I don't know who I am rooting for. I love me some Rob but I am quite bored with everyone following along and really Kristina was the only one who thought there may be another clue out there?

I know your all gonna hate me but I am hoping that Rob gets the boot very soon. He (thru his wife) already has had a million dollars, plus they both won vehicles, plus didn't he win fan favorite one time. Enough is enough, it's time to give somebody else a chance. I don't understand why people think he is so deserving, I think he is much too much an egomanac. Sorry, all you Rob lovers, but that's my feeling about the good looking Rob.

Panda, we had the opposite reaction. My son and I actually laughed with glee when Russell lost and began crying. I agree with Holly, he is an ugly little man, inside and out. I liken Phil to a Coach. Odd, a little delusional but likable. He is not mean just clueless. I am glad he finds honor in his life's work and feels so strongly about it....we just don't need to hear it all the time. Of course, the camera crew don't need to spew it back to us all the time either; I'm sure they have plenty of other verbage and footage to share but are running with this one!

Auntiemike, my son is only 4 yrs old, he always gets upset whenever he sees anyone crying on tv! I just thought it was so funny he felt bad for Russell-he only knows him as being on Survivor, he doesn't get that he's a bad guy! I just felt bad because I know he likes to win and if anyone else lost and people were laughing it would be mean. I am glad he's gone in a way so the tribe can get on to backstabbing each other!!!

I totally missed Rob's reaction to Russell's losing. Did they show it and if so, how did he react?

Russell weeping and falling to the ground on his knees feeling sorry for himself garnered no sympathy from me. He was vicious towards others when they left teary eyed. He was vicious towards others for sport. His sobbing like a spoiled child was comic relief for me and I can't wait until someone puts in on a loop. Although Rob is fun to watch I wouldn't mind seeing him go. He's had more than enough chances at this game. I'm pretty sure his tribe will be down to just a few when the merge comes. I want Phillip to make it to the merge and win some Individual immunity. Just to the other tribe gets a taste of the Fed and so they can witness his droopy undie wearing self.

I think I understand Russell. It's that he only has ONE game / strategy. It's his game -- the ONLY game. He CANNOT see any other way to play and win. No adjusting his game while he is there. So when he doesn't win, it is not his fault. Everyone else is not playing the game correctly. Probably because he was asked back twice, it reinforces his belief that he is right. If he is asked back again (and again?) we would just see that same thing over and over. The producers should know that by now. Probably should not have asked him for the third time. Russell said he would not come back. I hope he keeps his word.

I felt sorry for Russell, while still being glad he was gone. Mostly I feel sorry for him because he really has no clue how to be in the world; and that it seemed for a time that the only way he thought he had worth was to win Survivor. Yes, he's mean to others, but inside he's mean to Russell. So, yeah, I feel sorry for him.

Yes, he's mean to others, And for that reason, he could never win Survivor. It should sort of be a compliment that he went out early. His teammates were worried about his game . . . so get him out. But if Russell ever made it to F2, he would not win. The other F2 may have the 2nd best game, but that person would be more likable than Russell. So Russell loses. He cannot see that. Not much brains for the game.

So at least we know, then, that Phillip is a federal agent - they can remove the question mark!

LOL... that question mark cracks me up !! I am a little surprised that they didn't vote off Andrea last night, forcing her to duel with Matt next week. Even if Matt is successful and continues to win duels and return to the game, with Andrea out of the picture he doesn't really have an ally in the game.

Lexie, I was thinking the same thing. Next time Rob's team goes to TC if Matt is still on RI, send Andrea. If they were together in the game again, they could be a strong pair. Or maybe they will have been apart too long.

I still think rob mad a bad choice to get rid of a strong competitor so early in the game (matt), and keep all those week little girls instead. He really has nobody to blame but himself if they keep losing. He has hardly any strong players on his team if they have a big challange that takes strength. just saying but on the other hand, I really hate the other team for being so pathetic to LOSE a challange on purpose just to get out another competitor , richard or otherwise. I really really cant stand ralph, that I really want there team to lose lose lose. A much as he made fun of richard for being cocky thinking he had the game, well, sorry ralph, but you are not playing this game any different at all. I know I'm the minority on russell - but, I did feel kinda bad for russell, becasue like he said, it took the team to lose a comp and gang up and vote him out. Im rooting for Matt to make it back in the game, he didnt deserve to get voted out first week

You know what? I think it might actually be entertaining to have Phillip and Coach pair up and do TAR. Yea, I know. Lots of people advocate not picking folks from one show to do another. But these two, paired up with their separate sets of delusions, (and probably bonding with each other over their sense of loyalty and honor) could actually make for a very entertaining pair.

I agree, Color. No matter how Russell was voted out, I think he would have had basically the same rant. The rant where it was stupid of them to get rid of him. The way I see it, almost everyone was glad to agree upon getting Russell out because it meant they weren't leaving. I think it's the most basic of thinking...If Russell is going home this week, then it means I'm not.

I felt sorry for Russell as well. I don't have to like someone to be able feel their pain. The O team better be handing on to Philip like glue. I usually admire Rob's strtigic thinking and planning ahead. However, I think he - and the rest of the team - shot themselves in their collective foot when they got rid of Matt! They started the game one man short, and immediately made themselves two men short! Most of the challenges have some physical component - when was the last time we had a macrama-tying or bootee knitting challenge? If Rob was - which I doubt - sincerely worried about the Matt-Andrea hook-up, they should have voted out Andrea. Break up the hook-up AND keep the strong young guy! As I see that tribe keep getting whittled down, their mis-step becomes more and more obvious to me!
