I have a question about Russell. I thought he went straight from the last show to the Heros and Villians season. Did they get a chance to see his season? They acted like they were aware of how well he played the last time and how devious he was.

I don't think Russell will get away with treating a lot of these females the way he treated Natalie and crew on his season. These girls will say "Yes, of course I trust you" to his face all he wants and then bite off his head and serve him for dinner. Whatever other unflattering adjectives may be used to describe Parvati, dumb is NOT one of them. And Sandra or Cirie would slice and dice this man before he could even begin to try to get them out because they dared to question him. In fact, I'm looking forward to just such an event. If they do have another contact challenge, I would truly like to see James put Russell down like he deserves. I still can't believe they just let Russell try to hurt Tom like that and all Probst did was yell "Play fair!"

Rupert didn't put Boston Rob down for making a fire. They are on different teams and as far as it was shown last night Rupert's team didn't even know that Rob had made a fire.

On Rob's first season he didn't do anything but lie around and "save himself for challenges." He didn't last very long! The next time he was on he was a lot more proactive around camp - having obvously learned from his past mistakes. He made it to final 2. The ability to adapt is one of Rob's best assets.

I wondered that Allietex. From some of the comments about him I got the impression they'd at least been shown a highlight reel of the Russell's season, but they might have been going on what Russell told them about himself.

I was thinking they only know what Russell has told them. Supposedly they shot this season between Aug 1 and Sept 20, so there is no way any of them had already seen Russel in action on the actual show. (unless like Kitt said, they showed them some highlights...maybe to help make it more fair?)

They didn't do that the year that Rupert went right from his season to All Stars. I think they figure Russell must have done something pretty bad if he got put immediately on the villains team straight from his prior season.

Hi y'all! Although I have enjoyed reading your comments for several year's now, I never considered posting...well, here I am. As most of you I was eagerly anticipating last night's show and was not disappointed. Gotta love Probst, I'd follow him into a jungle anytime. Russell, definitely one I love to hate. Saw a promo for 'Surviving Survivor' on tonight at 8:00eastern.

Allietex: "I have a question about Russell. I thought he went straight from the last show to the Heros and Villians season. Did they get a chance to see his season? They acted like they were aware of how well he played the last time and how devious he was." None of them have seen Russell's season. They filmed it right after Samoa. I think Parvati is just on to him, she is smart and knows how the game is played. Since he is the only one out there from Samoa, they probably just figure he did well and is a gamer like them....and of course, he is on the villain team not the hero team, so, that is telling. I LOVED the show last night! This is going to be a great season! I like all these players for one reason or another. Even though I agree that Randy is charmless, there is a certain entertaining quality about him. Tyson seems like a terrible person, but I like watching him on the show. I would never be friends with Russ but he is great to watch play the game. Steph...wow! James...oh man...drooling! I can't help it...I grinned every time he was on screen! I'm married and should not be typing this! or thinking...oh - nevermind!

Welcome to posting, Miss_beej! Probst's expression after they put Stephenie's shoulder back was something else. You could tell he was amazed and impressed by her toughness and determination.

They left for filming this season 10 days after Russell got back from Samoa. The timing suggests they may have seen 1 or 2 episodes from Samoa but no, they don't know how it played out. But they can imagine he was quite the player and popular with the fans for him to get put into the All-Stars and to be a Villain.

Production could have created a highlights reel for him though as the footage was already filmed, if not finalised. In fact everyone could have been shown highlights reels on all the contestants, just to get the juices flowing, as it were. Kind of "best bits." To me, the way they're acting they've actually seen him, even if not much of him.

Here's Dalton Ross' recap for EW: http://tinyurl.com/yhns2zx Since he was there when it was filmed, he has some behind-the-scenes information. There were actually some unaired rounds in the Reward Challenge and some things were shown out of order. The round with Steph actually happened *after* she had already dislocated her shoulder in a previous round (which makes Courtney's comment even uglier).

Wow, so Courtney really did make that comment about "Break her shoulder" after Stephenie had already been hurt. I'm sorry, but that comment and Tyson and Russell's laughing about hurting the other tribe goes way past being a "villain" in a game. In my opinion, those kinds of things show real nastiness in a person.

Did anyone notice at the end of the IC, how when the Villains were going to climb the ladder for the win, Boston Rob stepped aside to let all the women on his team climb first? I Boston Rob.

Lexie ... I did notice that. I also liked it when the Hero's commented on their nice shelter and chicken meal... Rob was able to admit, we don't have it as good as them. No need to cut them down or pretend they had anything they didn't.

I Boston Rob too. Definitely noticed he was last to climb the ladder. Also that he didn't boast to the other team about making fire. He impresses more and more! I think The villains are being slightly encouraged to be villains -- both by Jeff and by the way the show is set up. So, I'm not going to fault them for the level of nastiness yet.

Loving the show. It's like going to a school reunion and seeing familiar faces you had forgotten about. At first I thought they were going to be able to edit Coach to look good. They couldn't keep it up, as his true personality came out. Do you think he didn't read any of our wonderful suggestions from his last season? Cody not wanting <100> (I've already wiped her name from my memory)to be a stone tied around his neck does not make him gay. She overestimated her sexual powers. Russell is cocky...but I love his plays. I want to root for the boring ones to go first. At least keep the fun ones for the jury. Rob has still got it. I hope he is tougher than the preview looked. You know how they love to tease us? Hang on folks...it's going to be a bumpy ride!

The footage with Sugar chasing Colby around in the dark was so dang funny! She really couldn't catch a clue could she. He was being so obvious that he didn't want to be bothered by her. I'm just wondering why no one told her to shut up and go to sleep! While I don't find the good-old-boy type that Colby is attractive, if I remember correctly he does provide some pretty amusing narrative.

In the Surviving Survivor Hatch said to Russell that he couldn't be the best because he hadn't won and Russell laughed, so he knows he didn't win.
