Wow, fascinating 'upset' on Survivor. Cool. Russell really deserved to be taken down a peg. But he definitely deserved to be voted best player by the fans, cuz he certainly made the show - must-see TV this year.

I still give props to Russell for bringing people to the show. He played a game and that was what the audience wanted to see each week. People talked about Russell EVERY week. Like him or hate him he gave us a show we wanted to watch. Without him this season, most of the others were a bit boring. On the other hand, with Russell in the game we didn't see much gameplay of others. Years from now we will remember Russell. Will we remember the rest? p.s.I do want to bring Brett home. He's going to have to fight the ladies off for a long time.

Then maybe you can explain to us why a millionaire needs people to "vote" for him by donating money to him to so he can give a portion to St. Jude's?

I think Russell really earned the fan favorite award. I am very satisfied that he didn't win the season, though. Goodnight, all.

I do believe that he is a different person than the character he played on Survivor. Russell was faced with some of the harshest weather and conditions that any human body has had to endure. While I believe those harsh conditions will bring out the worst in anyone... I don't think he would be able to "stay in character" under such conditions... I kinda think we saw the true Russell

Actually, Csnog, I stopped watching for few episodes because of him. LOL. I'm not sure I will tune into Heroes and Villains, either. I've had enough of the Russell show.

Hermi, I don't understand the vote thing either. Is it just so he can see in print that he "won"? I don't get it.

I think the editors earned Russell the fan favorite award. And, yeah, if Russell is a different person from the character he played on Survivor, he might have been good enough to leave that "character" behind on the reunion show since the game, and therefore the need for the "character," was done.

I certainly hope that they don't make Heroes and Villains the Russell show pt 2...

I think Erik won it for Natalie. I guess I can say now that the spoilers said somebody gave a hell of a speech to the jury. We all thought it was one of the three, but after their opening speeches, none of them were particularly impressive. The only speech I was impressed with was Erik's, and he was totally in Natalie's corner.

Anyway, congrats to the winner of Survivor 19 - Natalie. I'm out of here.

With so many big egos on the villians and heros it should be a good season. I always welcome GOOD players that "entertain" me.

If his loss really did take him down a peg or two, I might believe that it was not the 'real' Russell, but his behaviour on the reunion show cause me to believe that anything that doesn't go his way, he will spin.

Richard Hatch wanted to get approval from the court to play in the Heroes vs Villians. It was a no go. He would have been interesting to see in the mix. Hermi, maybe it is because he now has some fame that he wants to DO something for someone else. At this point, I haven't personally asked him. He could just have the website and sell stuff and take ALL the money for himself. I am sure Brett will sell his shirts and make money. Every year, people gain notoriety and capitalize on it for themselves for their 15 minutes of fame. It is nice to see that he is willing to give even a portion of any money to charity. It should show you something of his character. He doesn't have to do even that. People are willing to buy anything. heck, I bought a Jeff Probst bobblehead last year before the reunion show was even over. Jeff or CBS weren't donating ANY of the money from that sale to anyone but themselves.

Great job on the spoiling, Hermione! You da best deaf Survivor spoiler we ever had! I happen to be in central time zone right now, so was watching it same time as you and just came here after the show, but I know I would have been ever so grateful to you had I been on the west coast. (not sure if I should say this or not, but what the hell, ban me - I am quite sure that anybody who didn't know you are deaf would never have guessed from your show recaps tonight that you are deaf; I saw no disparities between what I heard and what you typed, except for missing the socks being burned, and that was visual and not audio) Sheesh, I sure hope Pamy didn't forget the finale was on tonight. Or perhaps she is in mourning and digging a very deep hole to put the Love Train to eternal rest.

IMO, the only reason Russell made this season was because the editors pretty much ignored everyone else.

Pamy posted in the Russell Love Train thread. I don't think she is ready to bury the Russell Love Train. She is just refueling for next February.

I was right about Natalie winning, but I think Russell was robbed. He played the best game, in my opinion, even the "social political" part. Can't wait for heroes vs. villans!

Puzzled... I totally agree with you. Had we gotten a chance to know anyone else they could have played a role in the season. I would have like to have gotten to know a few of them.

Russell's near perfect game was only lacking one thing-- a small dash of HUMILITY. I would definitely say he was the most entertaining player to ever play the game. But he got beat, fair and square.

[Evil Russell] could just have the website and sell stuff and take ALL the money for himself. I am sure It is nice to see that he is willing to give even a portion of any money to charity. It should show you something of his character. He doesn't have to do even that. He said he's a big oil man. He doesn't need Survivor money winnings -- he's a millionaire already. That's not why he was in it. So why does he need money from a web site? It does NOT compute.

well, i actually gave russell 8 out of 10 votes for fan fav, with 2 to natalie for good measure. i knew he wouldn't win with the jury, and i don't necessarily think he played the best game, but he surely played hard and gave us 100% the whole time so i was happy to kick my fan fav votes to him.

I was disappointed in their final tribal speeches, I was disappointed with the poor questions/comments from the jury. I was disappointed with Jaison at the reunion and I was really disappointed with Russell at the reunion. The whole thing looked sort of uncomfortable. I have a feeling he doesn't make it to the end in Heroes vs Villains. It seemed to me like this was his only chance at winning. That's how I saw it anyway.
