Chy Your memory is much better than mine (not surprised here lol) Do you remember which season? Mom I also missed any problem with Ben & Marisa. Not sure what all that was about.

This guy makes <77> look like a saint.

Puzzled IMO I have to disagree. Not sure anyone on any of these games could make <77> look like a saint. He would have to actually go thru with trying to poison one of his tribe like <77> talked about doing to Michelle.

You know, after enduring a summer of Natalie, I was REALLY worried about Survivor. All the commercials about him being the evilest evil that ever eviled....I just wasn't sure I could stomach it after Big Brother But he's charismatic, and that crap he was pulling was FUNNY, so I'm all aboard now. I did feel badly for Marissa, though...the tears got me.

Chris! His name is Chris! My memory is not better than any one else. It took me a long time, almost ready to google about him. I cant remember what season or much details. You might not even agree with the comparison. He had strength, brute. But he couldn't handle balance beam-walking. I was so surprised that he's able to stay after that(2nd Wk?) and managed to have every mate followed his game plan and so on.

Chy, you aren't talking about Brian, the construction worker/former porn star? That was on the tribe with Clay? My memory's a bit fuzzy about his game play, but I remember thinking he was pretty slimy. I don't care that Russell has money...I hate the "who needs the money most" philosophy of reality shows to begin with. Aside from Russell, there were lots of players that seemed really likeable and rootable for me. I watched the TV Guide channel preview this afternoon, and it really helped to go into the first episode already having a sense of who people are.

ITA about Natalie. I think what we saw is the real person. She couldn't even tell the truth after the final on any interview. Russell is supposed to be a multi millionaire & this is all game to him. Still don't like him & will party when he gets caught. lol

Oh, Chris is the one that made it to the end surrounded by all women. One of them was the older woman from Oklahoma (my state)...she was hippie-ish, with an odd name, that also escapes me. Oy, my memory LOL. Also, the lesbian Starbucks barista? Amy?

I am also hoping that Russell doesn't last long. He is just plain evil and totally ruins the game for me.

Thank you Chy & Ky. There has been a lot of sleazy players before but just never remembered anyone causing so much dissention to his own team.

Ky, it could be that I've seen his "tricks" too many times on all the commercials during BB and so on. But I am annoyed by Russell. Not amused. His picking the females to "fool", his lie as Jar.. described, .. and most strongly he seems to be the only mate ready to play on his tribe! Why couldn't they cast another fireman or some other good guy for us to love? I don't need a devil to hate, .. I hope they're just featuring Russell as the grabber for a certain kind of audience for now. There's got to be players for us to love also. I could love Marisa, but she's gone now. sigh!

I thought that it would be interesting to see how much Russel could get away with.. but now after seeing it .. I sure hope they boot him soon (it was right after he proclaimed he had the game in the bag... first day and that type of cockiness just turns my stomach) ... HATE that he has talked about the women on the tribe the way he has.. I think his hit-eating grin is going to be his downfall .. someone is going to see it at the wrong time and say something....

Just in case anybody is interested, the final vote was 7 for Marisa and 3 for Ashley (Betsy, Mick and Marisa). Looks like Betsy and Mick aren't in with the rest of the group, huh?

I didn't like that they let him get away with destroying Jaison's socks. Jaison said he was getting blisters because his socks were gone, that could cause him physical problems and affect his game. That really, truly shouldn't have been allowed.

I don't like his cocky attitude either. Not sure why but I find I am rooting against most of them instead of for someone I like. Takes me awhile to find a likable person. And that grin reminds me too much of Natalie.

Wow, after the liars on BB, I was so looking forward to Survivor but I don't know if I can handle this Russel H guy if he stays around for long. There just wasn't anything to enjoy about his antics. If CBS chooses to keep promoting this guy with his anti-female comments ("dumb A$$ girl alliance") as PR for their show, I may have to boycott Survivor for the first time ever. And then the lie about being a victim of Katrina? Come on now! Congrats to Russell S and team! At least it was nice to see good win over evil for the first round.

I agree Nerovn but a lot was done on BB that shouldn't have been allowed also.

Kappy Sad part is Russell H doesn't care if his team loses as he is out to get rid of all of them anyway.

Ky, this one is in response to yours about Chris' season: Hippie lady's name is Scout. She lives in Hawaii now. (She used to meet some of us fans/friends at a special place, haven't seen her lately.) But she did write a blog sharing her thoughts on the current show for CBS at the Survivor site earlier. I even forgot that was her same season. She was one of those who had to endure Chris! According to insiders, Chris wasn't even supposed to be on that season! I hope I don't hear later that this Russell was a last minute pick or something like that!

Got it from here, in case you're wondering. http://popwatch.ew.com/2009/09/14/jeff-probst-survivor-samoa/ It has a JP season preview vid at the end. There's very little spoilers in there, not much we dint see in TV Previews. But you're on your own if you end up w/something you don't want to know.

I don't know if I can take another Russell so soon after BB, although this one makes the other look like an angel.

okay massive hate from me for Evil Russell! this guy isn't fun to watch evil, he is simply a <100> who has been cast on a reality show. not someone who is going to make this season fun to watch. at all. love Jason, Shambo and good Russell. hopefully we can see a little more of them and less of the <100> russell show in the weeks ahead.
