So sorry for your loss Sally. Another show to pass the times is Amazing Race. It's a great show to get lost in for an hour.

Here's an interesting article about Mark Burnett's view on Survivor:

<snip>

"It's not often someone who treats others brutally is going to get those people to grant them a gift by saying: 'I'm sorry I humiliated you, I'm sorry I was so ruthless, please give me the million.'

"In the end, how you treat people is going to directly influence whether you win the money or not.

"I believe there are two factors in life that drive success: there's likeability and there's capability. The real winner in life is both capable and likeable but if you had to choose between the two, you should choose likeable over capable because people are going to do more for someone they like than someone who just happens to be capable."

<snip>

It shows why the social game is so important.

Hahahahaha!!! Presume Mark Burnett was referring to Russell, who "got robbed." Not.

Thanks, Merrysea, for posting Burnett's quote. I will never understand the Russell 'love' that the public seems to have. He is a mean-spirited, misogynous toad that is clueless about basic human feelings.

Well that is the way that some people see him playing the game of Survivor. He has stated that he is different in real life.

I hope that doesn't mean we will have to see Russ in every epi this season!
Well, we will if he makes jury.
Just not F3!

This Russell finding all the "hidden" immunity idols is really, really old now. I changed the channel. Feel I've watched the Russell show once already, and once was more than enough for me! I think Suvivor has run out of ideas.

Russell found the II because no one else would look for it...LOL Russell isn't into group players...he's there for himself and he expects others to be there for themselves too...

As much as I do not like how Russell plays Survivor (and especially the way he played last season) I've got to give the devil his due. He is in it to win it...he isn't relying on anyone else to get him there...

I still don't think he could ever win, because he just doesn't get the social aspect of this game...

Can't watch this anymore. Came back to it after 2 seasons... still the same to me. Show seems very scripted and kinda phony. Like what came out of the court case from the first show. This is not a contest, it's entertainment... like wrestling. You know the producers have winners in mind to make it more "entertaining". Can't watch anymore. Down to only TAR in reality shows for me.

PS LOVED Russell finding the idol. And what is up with Rob saying no body look for it??? What if the one with it uses it after the merge.
Russell is playing again like a pro!!
Watch this man go to the end, i hope he wins this time.

I was mentioned that these last two seasons were filmed back to back in the same area.....and that Russell doesn't know he lost before.
If it was rigged who was to win, I think Jeff would have wanted Russell to win. Anyway I know if they changed the jurors votes they would speak up.
I don't care if it is only entertainment, because that is what I am looking for. No need to take it seriously. Once you accept the editing treatment, you can relax and just see what they come up with next.

I'm usually just a lurker. But since posts are scarce this week, I thought I'd share something I got a kick out of.

My 11 y/o son, who is also a Survivor fan, came home from school on Monday with a math project he'd completed that day. They had to make a person with different sizes and colors of paper representing various volumes (gallons, quarts, pints, & cups). He was proud to show me he modeled the head of his person after Russell. (Yep, he's a Russell fan, too!)

That's so funny! My DD had a similar project. I'll have to ask if hers is modeled after anyone.
