Juries in survivor history always vote off emotion over gameplay. The only time gameplay is rewarded is when both players are equally hated. In a Final 3
scenario you have to bring 2 goats. Brian way back in season 5 was able to do this in the final 3. (Some may argue if Jan was a goat or not but the reality is
back then it was only final 2's so that point is moot.)That is why he won the game. Most people probably do not even remember Brian but he got rid of his
natalie early in the game (her name was tanya and she got sick).

Wow. What an ending.
Russell reminds me a lot of Boston Rob. Rob played a solid physical game and a great strategic game, but the idiot was too dumb to realize there was a social game. Thus he went out of his way to piss off the jurors, a fucking idiotic strategy, and they ended up voting the person who rode his coattails to the end. Of course, he then married her anyway, and the jurors were some of the most bitter fuckers ever, but still. Russell did the same thing, right to bringing an Amber in to win. He didn't recognize the social game, where you butter up the jury into wanting to vote for you. Chris, for all the shit he gets, played one of the most amazing social games ever, and that alone got him the victory, because he certainly sucked at challenges and strategy. Physical and strategic prowess are very important parts of getting yourself to the end, but the social game is a very important part of actually winning the game, and that's the one part where Natalie kicked his butt in. So yeah, Natalie deserved to win, though I too was pissed Russell lost. He didn't play the best game ever, but he definitely played one of the most entertaining, and he made the post-merge great as hell to watch. It was great watching him during the reunion, because I've never seen anyone who actually felt so hurt about losing, so you know he was passionate about the game and winning it. I love his intensity and passion, and I'll definitely be rooting for his animal-raping ass next season. |

I will admit, Samoa was pretty darn entertaining. Everything that I hated about Russell throughout the season was totally made up for in that finale by seeing
Natalie win. One of the best overall story arcs of a season, ever. I know the Survivor purists hate the shift the editing has taken, but I for one am happy
that the show is getting talked about by casual fans. Friends of mine who I didn't even think watched Survivor have been talking about Russell all season
long. So I have to give the guy props for giving us a talked-about season, because it's ultimately good for the show.

Russell's ego simply couldn't handle the fundamental Survivor concept that ultimately the jury's judgment of you completely outstrips your judgment
of yourself.
Welcome to Survivor, Russ. |

Denise being anywhere close to a fan favorite is still the most disgusting thing the Survivor fandom has ever done, and I'm talking about the same people
who thought Rupert stealing shoes was a better moment than Sue's jury speech.

This was a great ride though, from pre-season hate to early season HATE, lots of animal fucking comments all the way to...goddamn, Russell kicks ass at
Survivor then back around to the irony of him losing for the same reason we hated him early on: too much personality, not enough substance to win.
Still and all, the guy was a great tv character. A Russell win would have been fun. He certainly played hard and made all of Galu look like abject retards. Plus, he got a pile of cash and S20 so all in all, not a bad deal. -SJ™ |

Honestly, I'm not sure Natalie "deserved" to win (though I am glad she did. Why? She seems like a nice lady), but quite frankly Russell played a
hellva game, in my opinion. Clearly, he knows the game of Survivor through and through.
Second, I hate when people like Natalie justify their gameplay by being UTR and/or piggybacking on a strong player (shades of Becky), and scream they were apart of the major decision making when the truth is they didn't do shit. Too me that isn't really "gameplay". I would like to see a rule implemented in the game of Survivor where players MUST play hard like Russell. No lazy ass, UTR, etc. For me it would make a season much more interesting and overall exciting to watch. |

Peachess = ArtieLange????
You know, the whole thread whereby he pretty much laid down rules which your post just mirrored? Also, how is getting by after a 5-5 vote on a flip going UTR? They must be well aware of you if they are trying to vote you out at 10... -SJ™ |

Oh well, not like you'd admit it. Odd though that you returned and Artie was never heard from again.
Anyway, moving back onto the subject matter, I would personally like to thank Russell for making Sucks lose it's collective mind today. This has been great. -SJ™ |
