I'm still in shock today! Finally, Russell Hantz (see picture) got voted off! And he was blindsided by the type of treachery he's known for. Hilarious! His reaction actually made me laugh out loud! It was cool to watch Russell send his little minion Stephanie to enlist Julie to their alliance, and then believe that Julie fell for it. Russell - they did the same thing to you that you've done many times to others... live with it! So next week we'll see Russell square off against Matt on Redemption Island. And I'll be rooting for Matt all the way, hopefully we'll be rid of Russell Hantz on Survivor for good!
Editorial note - I think it's time Jeff Probst and the Survivor brain trust quit bringing players back from previous seasons. First it's not fair to the new players. Second, why can't we see the new players evolve without the onus of these has-beens? Sure Russell is an idiot and he's doomed to fail by virtue of his game, but right now Boston Rob is completely controlling the other tribe and I doubt they'd be playing the same game without him. By constantly plopping these guys back in the game, Survivor develops a sameness from season to season that I don't think is healthy for the show.
