Lexie...it has been highly speculated on the other boards that since both tribes did go to TC that night and there was "no boot" from either tribe, that possibly Episode 6 where Russell S. is evacuated might have originally been planned to be a double boot episode. It's not anywhere in the spoilers and it's not anywhere in the promos .... stictly speculation on the part of several posters at some other boards. Another thing of interest is that the promos and transcripts have all stated Russell S. goes down during a Reward Challenge; but, the spoiler Missyae states from her source that it was a combo Reward/Immunity Challenge. We can only hope that the show will make it clearer to the viewer. Meanwhile, go to this link if you want to read about the past life, drug busts, and jail terms for ER that was 10 years ago, or so: http://www.starmagazine.com/russell_hantz_drug_bust_/news/16155 I also posted this link in the cast folder for ER, since it really is not spoiler-related.

This is not a spoiler, but I thought worth cutting and pasting. Somebody at Survivor Blows gave a link to the Melanie Hantz "My Space" site, and her statement "About Me" and what she listed as employment was interesting: ******************************* About me: First of all it's not all about me, I have a wonderful family. My husband has always been the only love of my life and I have 4 beautiful children whom I love dearly. I'm not a quiet person like most people remember me. Life has thrown so many suprises at me and has made me a stronger and more outspoken person. As most people know already, my husband is on Survivor 19 and is quite popular on the show. Being known as "The Evil Villain" has put quite a damper on his reputation, but at home he is not what people make him out to be. What people need to realize is that he's playing a game. He's not out there to make friends, he's got plenty of 'em already. He's playing the best he knows how and is actually making the show more entertaining. I know he's done crazy things on this show, but he's actually a great man and loves his family so please don't be so quick to judge. Remember, when your badmouthing him, your badmouthing my husband and my children's father...it can be hurtful to us too. Hantz Tankering Service Dayton, TX US Public Relations/Dispatch

So Episode 6 could have been the "planned" double boot episode, but technically they had a double-boot when Michael was evacuated.

I'd have to disagree with the "...is quite popular on the show" statement. Gets a lot of air time, yes. Is a beloved character, nope. (I really wish people would learn how to use proper grammar. Ms Hantz, the correct word would be "you're" as in "you are badmouthing my husband.")

and I would disagree with this: "He's ... is actually making the show more entertaining." And, Mrs. Hantz, maybe your husband and your children's father should have remembered that his actions were going to be broadcast on national TV and that his children would be watching.

I really don't care how he pretends to be at home. All we see is what is on Survivor, and there is NOTHING to like, especially the way he threatens and trashes women.

Well, if it makes you guys feel any better....I have read a hint or two while browsing around that he is in the Final Three, but not expected to get any votes from the jury. If so, that will well be worth watching, plus if that is the case, he will know that his way of playing doesn't work. Now then, by the time the Finale plays out, he will have already been on a full season of S20 we have yet to view, and I would have to assume he would play it the same way.

Still he would get more money and more exposure than all but the final two. But I sure hope if he stays that long, as seems certain, that he won't get a single vote.. but then there are other rewards, aren't there other threads..

Yeah, he'd get more $$ and exposure but... he'd be THIS close and not win it? That would be most excellent to watch!! Especially (!!!) if he gets absolutely no votes from the jury. He is a most unlikable man. I don't care what he's like at home or with his family, what I see on TV I dislike intensely. Unfortunately, if he makes it all the way thru to the finale, it will make MY viewing experience much less enjoyable. I really hate all the cam time he's been getting. I have never been a fan of the villain, or those who think they need to be one just for the heck of it.

I stopped watching Survivor after the first episode of ER. Right after he made all of the alliances with all the females and called them "stupid girls", I decided he wasn't worth my time every Thursday night. <100>.

Ginger, thx for bringing over his wife's MS. I think many do forget that these are not all actors. This is the first person ever that I liked and most hated. I usually feel the same as most here. oh well

I think many do forget that these are not all actors. Actually Pamy I think the problem is he is not an actor. I could never dislike Hugh Laurie because of the arrogant jerk Dr. House is... I couldn't dislike Carrol O'Conner because of his portrayal of Archie Bunker... But Russell is himself... he is acting like a jerk and unfortunately it is not a role...

he is also playing a game. We have no idea what type of husband, friend, or father he is.

My problem with people who are "playing a game" and do the jerk thing so well is, well, where there's smoke there's fire. Russell fell into the evil role (burning socks, dumping water) and lying (about Katrina) far too easily for it to NOT be something he's done before. Yes, it's a game. But people don't completely change who they are when they play a game.

And when you choose to "play the game" in an underhanded way you are also choosing for people to not like you and for your family and friends to be subjected to negative comments about you.

It's Official.... CBS just sent out orders to local stations to clear out three hours on 12/20 for the finale and reunion, so this season has officially been extended by a week from what we thought before.
