Why is it now a days on Survivor we have to get these so called villains shoved down our throats. Look at Fairplay one of the great and we got him only when needed as a villain. They make Russell repeat himself like the audience is handicapped or something.

They also tell you whether or not that's a good or bad thing. Example: Batman=Villain(Because he wears black) He is also a negatively edited villain because he tries to vote out the Joker, who is the "star" of the season Dick Cheney=Hero, because he is an experienced hunter and likes to convince people of "For the greater good" AKA "Warrior" alliances.

It's not like they can't alter the editing based on the public's opinion before the episodes air, right? They can easily take out some scenes/confessionals and insert other scenes/confessionals during the season. They screwed Alexis in her edit after finding out about (and nixing) her innocent blog during Micronesia. They could easily have toned down the edit of the "greatest villain ever" once they saw the backlash from his OTTNN edit in episode one.

One, they voted off one of their own for no good reason at all, other than they thought they would still have enough numbers to overcome. Two-they expect Shambutt to be "on their side" when they have ignored her from day one, except the ONE time that the guys wanted her to be the token female so they could vote off one of their own. Three- Not even looking for an idol, thereby letting Russell make chumps of them AGAIN . Four-and the funniest one, they chase Russell around the island next week instead of finding the idol themselves, I guess so at least this time they will KNOW that Russell has it. Ooh, that should really scare Russell to death. Child please. 1. Erik proved tonight with his little jury dancing that he would have never stayed loyal to Galu and he was a snake in the grass 2. Ofcourse they think Shambo should be on their side because they've given Shambo everything she wants since day one, while screwing over Laura %@%+%. 3. Russell found the idol when they were gone, which is pretty evil if you think about it 4. cock blocking Russell is not a bad idea that's how Frosti was able to get an idol.

Maybe these people aren't doing jack shit interesting enough to deserve to be on public access tv in your neighborhood, let alone national tv... Russell being shoved down your throat could be the byproduct of nobody else having anything to offer.

It is wall to wall, 100% strategy and challenges. With no time to show what's really going on, and the keep the retarded portion of the audience abated, we are offered caricatures.

It's the Russell/Shambutt Show, and the others are just flotsam, as far as the producers go! I'm sure the others would be far more interesting characters if we were ever given a chance to actually know who the hell they ARE!

He's playing the game hard but still, he's not that good at the game.... His strategy hasn't been that great.... and he should have been voted out without the idol... The first idol was fine, the second is too much and I bet you he's got the 3rd one now as well.

Dave can be hilarious, Laura can be bitchtastic, Monica can show some cunty goodness. Hell even Jaison gave us the captain planet vote. Just because we are only shown Russ and Shamslut does not mean the other contestants are duds.

I would root for Russell, but he feels fake, and all I can muster up is indifference (minor annoyance at worst).

There was a Kelly there? Whatever... Galu comes into the merge with 8 people, yet you need the cbs website to know who 6 of them are... Every episode had scenes from the Galu camp. What did you learn? Russell S works hard, Shambo is an outcast, Monica sucks at challenges. Im sure if Foa Foa had nothing to offer, we'd be more entertained than watching Russurivor week in and week out.
