Just a thread to discuss spoilers for future Survivor seasons after Heroes vs. Villains.

Do not know the validity of this, and it really doesn't belong in this thread...but we don't have anywhere else to put future seasons ... so, for those that are interested:
***************************************

Survivor Heroes Vs. Villains: Russell Will Be Back For A Third Season Of Survivor
Survivor Commentary by Michael Keneski of Survivor Reality Show Blog
April 5, 2010


As I have previously reported, it is now looking more and more likely that the rumors of Russell Hantz playing a third edition of Survivor are all but true.

Producers have been mum on the topic but according to close friends and relatives, Russell will in fact be playing again!

As far as the ramifications to this bit of news, let's delve into that shall we????

Like I have stated before, I think the news of Russell coming back to play the game a third time is an indication that he doesn't win Heroes VS Villains either.

It would make very little sense for both Russell and the producers to get together yet again if the Evil One conquered Heroes Vs Villains. It is no secret however that the producers have a huge man crush on Russell as he is definately a boost to ratings and would be more than willing to let him come back and try again for that elusive title that many feel he deserves.

There are also strong rumors that Russell is having serious marital problems and his canoodling with Parvati certainly won't help matters.

Spending so much time away from home can't help either. Proof of possible turmoil is shown on Melanie Hantz' MySpace page where she lists herself as single. Interesting.

Finally, maybe the producers are giving Russell another shot so that the large legion of Evil One haters like me can finally see his torch snuffed out.

I am still holding out home to see it in Heroes Vs Villains but at this point its looking like he is going far again and I won't get my wish.

Either way, get ready for some more machete hiding, bold face lying, and idol searching from Survivor's most talked about player ever.

In my opinion, I could care less whether he comes back or not.

I hate the man but I will admit he makes the show more interesting with his antics and makes you want to root for his ouster so much more.

After the publicity he has gotten in season 19 and season 20, I find it very hard to believe the new batch of players will allow him to get a hold of the game. Better to vote him out right away before he does his thing.

Of course the sensible thing never seems to happen on Survivor. Is that producers influence? We've been down that road before, so who knows.

What do you all think about this? Is this good for the show? Or have you had enough of Russell? Let me know with a post.

If Russell comes back a third time,and not as part of an "all-star" version, I will not watch. I already am fast-forwarding through his "confessionals" this season, and will not put up with him one more time, no matter how much of a man-crush the producers have.

I totally agree....I've had enough Russell to last me a lifetime.....no need to see him again! He offends me in every way. Just don't want to watch such 'unpleasantness' again.

I'm getting tired of seeing the same players over and over again.

Can't we get some new players?

I am tired of seeing those same look-alike women, bedraggled hair, bony bodies, dirty feet. They all look exactly alike, they basically do nothing, and usually ride the coat-tails of better players. They are interchangable and usually are used to "make up the numbers".
I'll give kudos to Sandra, she is a tough player and one of my favourites of all time.
I guess this doesn't fit into this thread, does it?

Catfat, yes it does.

I'm rooting for her right now which means she'll probably be booted next week.

Very often it is the ones who don't fit in that have the largest following. We can relate more to an office worker or Mother or schoolteacher than we can to a model/actress/wannabe. I like Sandra because I can picture myself being friends with her in real life. I cannot imagine ever being friends with someone like Parvati. it's time the producers stopped using and reusing people they like (Russells, Coaches, "hot chicks") and started back to the beginning with ordinary people.

Not pleased with this development. I can see bringing him back in a couple of years. But right away? No. Thank. You.

Since this is an all star season, why don't they do like they did with Rupert. They brought him back the next season thinking he'd win and when he didn't they made up a new fan vote for the exact amount of money as the winner got ...

I don't think Russ would win another fan vote. I don't think he endeared himself with the general masses with his poor sportsmanship after the Samoa Finale.

I cannot stand the thought of Russell back a third time. He is a <100> and if the rumours are true, good on his wife for throwing him out!

I felt really badly for her and wondered how she felt as the world got to watch her husband follow Pavarti around like a love sick puppy.

SF, I had the same thought about how bad Russell's wife must feel watching her husband's behaviour around <77>. So I say good for her for showing him the door. They also have kids right?

Melanie Hantz, Russell's wife, has not changed her FB page. She still has it as married to Russell. Yesterday, she posted that she was setting up a fan page for Russell because his personal one wouldn't let him accept any more friends.

I have read on other sites both pros and cons about the Russell and his wife scenario. Some claim it is true ... some claim it is false.

Regardless, the subject here is that he may (or may not) be coming back for a 3rd season.

Someone who plays the game hard, who has boastful confidence and can usually back that boast up with action. Yep, thats Russell and I think he is fun to watch. Interesting to see how many people he can drag into his web and for how long. Surely by next season, many of the players will know his game play and call him out on it and boot him early????

I believe Parvarti will be the end of Russell this time though...while he may be infatuated with her, she does not seem as infatuated to me and I believe she will drop kick him in a second if need be. That girl is one tough cookie.

There is absolutely no way in hell that Parvati is even remotely interested in Russell as anything but a means to an end. And good for her. If he's gonna think with his little head, good for her for using that.

I hope the rumors are not true. I don't want to see his arrogant face again.

Now Boston Rob can come back anytime!

Well that's actually good news. Especially since they have kids. (I think it's so cool that you know them personally Pamy.)

As much as I enjoy Russell and the wailing and gnashing of teeth he provokes in his detractors, three seasons in a row would be too much, particularly for such an "out there" character. The producers caught lightning in a bottle for the first season and a half with Russell but they're pushing their luck if they think it will happen again.

It's funny you said that, Adven, because I was thinking after I posted last night that as much as I like Boston Rob, he's really had a lot of opportunities, and the recycling of contestants gets old.

Do I have too many commas in the above sentence?

Does anyone actually believe that Russell has any personal interest in Parvati other than as an ally.

Why do people think he is smitten but she is not?

Come on, he is using her just as she is using him.

I didn't like Russell referring to Parvati as < his girl > I think he thinks of women in this game as personal property. I wasn't surprised that he told her that she had some explaining to do after she used her second II. Loved the fact that she just smiled and said it was a secret. If he doesn't see she is using him after that, then he truly is dumb.
