You can "should" all you want, it's not going to change the fact it's a game played by human beings. It's like saying "It SHOULD
always be sunny" or "people SHOULD always have money." It doesn't happen. It doesn't take an Einstein to figure that one out. It does
take a retard to continually deny this fact. And people know this going in, I don't get the point of denying it and saying it should be this way, when
time and time again it's not. Denying human nature, in a "social experiment" show like survivor, won't win you the game.

And I thought I already said I was comparing people with a similar strategy of Russel on that list. It's a list of players that controlled who got voted
out, but unlike Russell, actually won the game.

Let's not forgot Natalie was instrumental in swaying Russell to not take Brett to F3. That's her PLAYING THE GAME.

This season showed, more than any other except for maybe ASS (but there were relationships there that were established before the game), that there are two
overall goals of Survivor. (1) Get to the finals. (2) Have enough grace that you win over the people you voted out.
Probst reminds people of that over and over and over again. Rich, Yul, Todd and others knew that. Russell knew that but, while he may not have ignored rule #2, he didn't balance it equally with rule #1. Rule #1 was very easy for him, but he had help in loyalty. Rule #2 was more difficult. Still, the jury was never asked, except for Erik and Jaison, why they voted Natalie over Russell. Russell burned socks and emptied canteens, but did they know that? Russell called every single person except for Brett stupid, but did they know that? Russell went on and on and on about how he is on the level of God because he was meant for Survivor, but did they know that? What they did seem to know is that Russell probably felt and acted the way we saw him act when the other players weren't watching. To me, that says that Russell was transparent enough not to be able to hide his own attitude and feelings just as he wasn't able to show grace at the reunion. Rich, Todd, and even Brian hid what they really thought of the other players enough to garner votes and keep the bitterness away to win. Russell played a superior strategic game. If the game were based on strategy, Russell wins unanimously. However, there's still that rule #2 that needed to be taken into consideration. Even RobM and Danielle were somewhat nice to the others compared to Russell. The only one Russell showed respect to was Brett who STILL voted for Natalie. The problem is not with how Russell played or didn't play a social game outside of the strategy. The problem is what we did NOT see with Natalie's supposed social game. Galu did not have any reason to be bitter against Russell because Russell was the underdog and got rid of the majority tribe. The only member of Galu that should have been slightly upset at Russell was Shambo who actually voted for him. Ironic. Galu may have been pissed that they lost but moreover they were probably pissed at Russell's attitude. I somehow think they hid some of Russell's out-in-the-open behavior (and focused on his off-screen comments) almost as much as they hid Natalie altogether. |

Russell's actions after he lost at the reunion and in post-show interviews only confirms to me that the bullish, arrogant, and demeaning attitude he showed
in his confessionals was also apparent when living with his fellow castaways when he wasn't showing off for the camera's.
We already know from Natalie's and other castaways interviews that he openly mocked and laughed at people when they were getting voted out at Tribal Council. |

Russwhore fans need to face it, his social game sucked. Sucked real bad. It was like Sugar laughing at Randy only every week and for no reason.
Natalie wiped the floor up with him. |

The word Natalie should not be used any further.
It should be referred to as "pylon," because it didn't matter who Russell brought to the end, the inanimate object would have won due to a bunch of sore losers on the jury. |

Just pointing this out, there's not a high population of people on this forum who hate Russell. Everyone generally likes him actually. Natalie has a huge
fan base following since the beginning of the season in CTS. Your argument is invalid.
