I don't care for Laura, but I got a kick out of her pointing out to Russell that he was in a 10% position, whereas she was in a 90% position when it came to bargaining and demands. Of course that would have bitten her in the ass if she hadn't won II, but nonetheless I enjoy it anytime Russell is taken down a few pegs.

Loved Eric's Ponderosa clips, too. Sweet, sweet schadenfreude.

It could be that the immunity idols were meant to only be used by the opposite team (from where they were planted), but once they merged it was okay for anyone to use them? Since they weren't used until after the merge it was a nonissue. Glad to see Eric go after the way he spoke at Tribal Council. There really isn't any reason to kick people when they're down (or when you think they are down). Guess he found out they still did have "something to offer!"

quote:Sham was the other vote for Jaison. WTH? She wants Jaison to vote with her but she's going to give him the first cut?
Chy, they purposely did not tell Shambo about voting off Eric because they didn't think she could keep the secret. The Galu guys decided to let her vote for whoever she wanted. Since the last plan Shambo knew about was to vote off Jaison (Eric's plan), that is who she voted for.

Russell's vulnerability only makes me love him more. Editing of previews have led us down the garden path many times. Since they are trying to make it look like he is getting voted out....I'll say probably he is not going next week. They do love to jack with us.

I work with someone who is starting to jump on the ER Love Train. She said this morning she was very impressed with how FF went into that merge and not one of them came up as a possibility for elimination last night. After 19 seasons, I can't remember the last time I saw someone play as hard as Russell. He takes it to whole new level. He's not riding anyone's coattails to the finals.

They were thinking of going after both Russell and Jaison, so some of FF were targeted. Russell does play hard, and he does seem very aware of what's going on most of the time. He just seems to think he controls everything, when he really doesn't. His approach to Laura was a big example of that, he totally underestimated her and his only reaction to her talking back was to run scared and try and get her out. He has no finesse and only works in extremes - slimeball or bully.

the first 20 min of my dvr'd show was totally black, no sound/pic. No clue what happened with our cable. I watched first 20 min online. My Russ was scrambling and I kept yelling stop telling ppl you have that! but then we only saw 42 min of footage after the merge so who knows how many times Russ felt those were his only moves. I am still the conductor on the Russ love train.

So Jaison was stepped on all the rest of his life? So what. So were the rest of us. 95% of the population are stepped on by the other 5%. Griping about it doesn't help, he did what he had to do and got an education and pulled himself up. And Laura looks like Karen Carpenter did before she died, huge teeth, lipless, skeletal face and body, and her skin brown and lumpy. I don't like the way all those young, silly players keep mocking Shambo. She seems a good person and in spite of this taunting is managing to keep her head up.

Let me say, I have spoken to Russell and he is playing a character. He said, now people act like they know him. He is PLAYING a game. His character on the show is not the REAL him. So love him or hate him, it is a character he is playing to get to the end. At least he came in with a strategy , unlike some people who just show up until they are gone.

I really want to be on the Russell train, because I think he's entertaining and has a great b.s. detector, but I can't get past his burning Jaison's socks in episode 1. If someone can convince me that Mark Burnett told him to do that, then I can give him my whole hearted support.

I think so, too, GAL. I also think Shambo very much resembles Sean Young(if Sean were heavier). Her looks and the way she speaks.

A skinny Kevin Spacey with a pony tail. The girls were talking about Shambo and said she grew up in a trailer park, married money and thought she was hot driving around in her sports car. Did I dream that? I think Shambo's military body english is a little off putting. Also her old style hair and sweat band make her look older than she should. Russell is interesting any way...who cares if it isn't his normal personality. Anyway, I am enjoying this season a lot.

Thank you, GAL! I've been saying that about Dave since I first saw him and heard him speak!

From my fav exit interview site: Exclusive: Erik Cardona discusses his 'Survivor: Samoa' blindside http://realitytvworld.com/news/exclusive-erik-cardona-discusses-his-survivor-samoa-blindside-9892.php Erik Cardona claims he almost played his Hidden Immunity Idol -- however it would have been out of bravado and not because he thought he was in trouble. <snipped>

I even find his lil evil grin sexy at times and he does have great blue eyes. ut oh I wonder if that Russell seed transends tv screens....

I hated him episode one, the whole burning of the socks and dumping the canteens was just too mean, but in every other episode I've found him to be quite entertaining. I'm not sure he has everyone fooled like he thinks he does, but he really is playing the game and without him, I think this season would have been really dull so far.

Askme, you can tell Russell that I have been on the Russell Love Train with Pamy since probably about the second episode. I love having someone actually playing the game instead of riding coattails to the end.

I didn't want to like Russell because of his sock & canteen antics but I knew from the first show that he was going to be one of my favorites because he was playing the game hard. I have three friends that watch and they have been determined not to like him. One of them called me after the last show and admitted that she is now on the Russell train with me.
