Playing it might have been smart. By burning it, it helped convince Eric that his plan was working and he didn't need to use his.ER must have had a bad case of the jitters... he burned the IA for no good reason...
I watched Tribal Again late last night and you could see it in everyone but Shambo's eyes and face as Jeff read the votes that Eric was a goner...
That had to be one of the best tribal councils I have ever seen.I just loved the look on all their faces when Russ stood up.Those looks were priceless ! I am officially a RUSS fan now !
OK, that guy is officially awesome!!
That was one of the best, if not THE BEST, moments in Survivor history.
Man, if only they could have gotten the Queen Bitch out, but it was so glorious seeing her sit on throne just fuming and stewing......
(I do think Russell could have prevented that Immunity win, by hustling to pull his 2nd bag in)

My wife's doesn't care for Russell, and about went ballistic when I said that's he's the best player to have ever played the game.
I loved Eric's response when Russell pulled the Idol out, especially after what his old tribe said about him. No way any of them get his vote if they make it to the final 2 or 3.
Next week should be interesting, if Shanbo flips, there will be a 5-5 split.
She showed her loyalty to Russell by not letting his Idol be known. I'm still wondering what her vote "Russell 10-9-8" meant.

I think Russell may be my favorite player ever on survivor....I think Shambo is going to flip for sure which will make it very interesting.
When the season first started and people were criticizing Russell, I said that players like him make the show entertaining. Without him this season, the show wouldn't be nearly what it is now which raises the question: Are the producers tipping him off about the location of the immunity idols?

I can't stand the Queen, so I hope she sticks around to stir the pot with Russell.
Such a shame that Laura won immunity. That incredible tribal would have been SO MUCH MORE satisfying if she went down as a result.
Russell is the bomb. Can't believe how much I have flipped on him, from despising him to thinking he is among the best players of all time.

Maybe I'm a cynic, but I'm sure the producers saw early on that Russell was going to be the star of the show, and I wouldn't put it past them to do everything in their power to keep him on for as long as possible.
Yeah, but not cheat. That was undermine the entire show, and would get out. I don't buy it. Of course they saw he was a star, but they would not rig it.
Elsewhere someone was saying that they were giving Russell hints for the I.I.'s because the ratings were better... (they didn't realize this show was taped back in June )
)I'm still not convinced......perhaps the cameramen had a loud conversation about the location of the idol in Russell's presence. I'm not sure word would get out....these contestants sign ironclad confidentiality agreements.

What because he is smart enough to find two idols, there must be cheating? I just see no rationale for the argument. He is smart enough to know that they have hidden idols in camp for the past few years, and looks in the likely places. The guy is very smart.
I find no evidence to support the claim that there has been cheating by the crew.
Well of course there is no evidence! All I'm saying is this: The show is a TV show first and a game second. It needs to get ratings. The higher the better. I certainly wouldn't put it past the producers to take "liberties" to make the show more interesting in hopes for higher ratings. It's not like this hasn't happened in the past on an actual game show, so I don't think it's out of the question for it to occur on a reality show.
I've been a fan of Survivor since Season 1 and this isn't the first time I've thought the show was slightly massaged. Unlike others, I don't think it's completely fixed or scripted, but I think it's naive to think the producers don't tinker or meddle (at least a little) to make the end product more interesting. Either way, it doesn't bother me - - - I'm entertained. I just don't think for a second that its unadulterated "Reality."
