if nothing else, he will be fun to watch and even more fun to see him kicked out It floors me that he would dump out all the water from his own tribe. I think this will be the nastiest survivor group.

C&P of my post from Premier show thread, since I'll like to remember this thought for later. .... whoever got bad vibes from Ben were quite right. Marisa is giving interviews pointing Ben out as someone as mean as Russ H. She said ... keep watching, you'll see Ben's true colors. ... I'm hoping this could mean that, tptb needed to hi-light RussH in a hurry or his time may run out? ....

Lookie, Marisa said this in interviews: On the canteens - Since they weren't assigned to people, they just concluded that, because they were sharing, they were empty because they'd drank it all. ##### Unbelievable! Good thing they got fire this season. They could cook more drinking water now.

I have no clue if his sister put up the mysapace page. But I did count at least four times with Russ' face in the slide show.

Hey all! I usually just post during BB seasons, but this Survivor has to be one for the record books. What truly irritates me is that there are hundreds of thousands of applicants that want to be on the show for 3 reasons: 1) Duh, the money, 2) the fame that comes with it, and usually 3) because they want to help their families out. Russell cares for 1 out of 3. He doesn't need the money(OBVIOUSLY), which means he has no need to help his family. I feel sorry for all those who've been trying and trying to get on this show for years, only to see somebody get in who cares not for others, doesn't need the money, and has only one desire to make the others' lives miserable through cheap and tasteless tactics. If by some SHEER miracle he survives to F2, everybody will know how much of a ride this guy's had them on since Day One. Pity Betsy didn't turn around and bust him out on the way out of TC.

I said the same thing tonite Pamy. I said I bet the producers planted him and the idol location "discovery", too. Wow, I'm cynical!

This season just doesn't ring true at all, IMO. Russell is just *too* over the top to be believable, same with <24> Ben <24>. And as for Russell 'finding' the Immunity Idol by just looking upward--pfffttt! Seriously, is anyone believing this? This whole season, including JP's blogs, designed entirely to reel us in, is nothing more than a scripted series with at least three hired actors i.e. Ben, Russell, Yasmin --I mean, come on, who can believe the little show she put on as soon as soon as she entered the other tribe. Survivor has really gone over the line with the "characters" they've hired this season thinking we are thrilled and chilled with racist and misogynist 'characters' brought in to spice things up, and they need to hang it up if this is the best they can come up with to entertain the masses. It's actually quite insulting what they're now serving up to us and calling 'reality'. Thank God AR starts on Sunday.

During last night's episode DH said he thought Russell was a plant as well. As much as I do not like him I think it's entertaining.

Having met people exactly like Russell in real life, I find it entirely plausible that he's the real deal and not a plant.

While I don't think he has a snowball's chance in Hell of winning this (especially after he pulls out the HII only to find out it is null and void at Foa Foa's TC) and gets voted out, ... he is entertaining the crap out of me. There ya go Pamy. I said it.

Agree with those of you who like Russ H. He's so over the top he's actually entertaining... unlike Ben who is so irrational he's a bit scary, in a serial killer sort of way. But back to Russ H. Ep 1 I thought he was an idiot who could never make it to the finals. But he's playing surprisingly smart -- of course no doubt aided by the fact that he's surrounded by idiots. I found his "dumb ass girl alliance" offensive, but now realize he's pegged them pretty accurately, at least as far as Natalie and Ashley are concerned. I don't think he's a plant. He found the idol by thinking outside the box, and aided by a bit of luck. I do wonder whether the idol he found is valid, as I'm sure I read somewhere that the Foa Foa idol is at Galu and visa versa. So, I wonder what will happen if he tries to play that HII. Something else to look forward to... Anyway, while I do question some of the casting choices -- such as Mike, with known medical issues -- I have no problem with them having cast Russ H. And if he makes it to the end and wins the million (slim chance), I say he's deserving. Of course, I withhold the right to change my opinion as the season progresses ((-:

Although I still watch and enjoy Survivor, I do find it to be the most scripted so-called reality television show on the air. Mark Burnett is totally hiring actors to play roles. There are story arcs that are pretty strictly followed. It doesn't bother me so much, except I don't find the racism and misogyny all that entertaining. I watch this show for the entertainment knowing it is scripted, rigged, and not so much reality. Mark Burnett is trying hard to "make good television" for us with the characters his producers dream up. Jeff Probst and his blog, which in the past two seasons have consistently praised the most obnoxious "characters," are a part of the "good television" package. In case we failed to appreciate it, Jeffie now TELLS us weekly how entertaining these characters are that his boss cast in the show. And to bring this post back on point, Russell H. is the star character of interest created for Season 19.

Regarding the HIIs... I don't remember now where I found this, but I believe it's posted elsewhere in TV Clubhouse. This was from a preseason interview Probst gave to TV Guide Channel: Probst: "We have two hidden immunity idols, but they have their own set of clues, and you can only find the one that's for your tribe, they can only find the one that's for their tribe. The problem is, they're hidden at the other tribe's camp. So you have to get selected to go over there, and then you have to find it, underneath their eyes." I interpret this to mean the idol Russ H. found at Foa Foa is invalid, as it technically belongs to Galu. Sucks that Yasmin didn't even try to look for it.

Won't Russell be able to give the idol to someone on the other tribe?
