I think Candice may be going. She was going to flip on the heroes and then didn't so she isn't good for them. I think she makes a good target.

Yep, maybe Candice. Russell and Parvarti as well.

I have no idea... but I'm anxious to see what happens! This has been such a great season!

Someone (don't remember who) posted a link to Jeff Probst' blog awhile back. In his blog last week, some viewer posted a list that is supposedly the final three. Lucky me---coz my short-term memory stinks and I can't remember what I read! LOL!

The ad I saw for it last night, shows Russell and ummm.... the big guy. Don't remember his name... the big guy hero that broke his toe the first show. Anyway, the ad shows the two of them going at it and I think it might be that hero that goes.

Kat, I saw that one too, but I'm hopeing that the usual way of misleading is going on here, and Ruppert survives tonight.

It should be VERY interesting!

I really haven't liked Rupert this season.
It will be an interesting episode!

I haven't either, Carol...and that's odd, because he was my favorite in the past. I hated seeing Boston Rob go, and now my favorite is Russell. I think the show would be very boring without him...and too, his father is a friend of my husband's, and that is part of the reason I like him.

Thanks for the reminder about tonight's show. I had forgotten all about it.

I still like Ruppert, but not as a favorite this year. I like Colby!

OMG! What a great episode! Love that Sandra is playing her game and that Russell didn't get what he wanted. Previews for next week looks interesting but I know Rupert won't trust Russell.

Just wish there was some way to get Russell OUT

Russell has voted himself out. He just doesn't know it yet.

I hope...hope...hope...:0) that Ruppert "plays" Russell....right out of the game! Russell may be interesting, but......eeeeeeewwwwwwwww

I have grown to love Russell.....he is a sneak and a liar but he is playing a good game.

I get a chuckle out of the way Russell keeps talking about how he is in control, and yet, there are all kinds of things going on that he knows nothing about.

I'm starting to like Rupert more then at the beginning. Maybe that toe was giving him major problems. The players that I think are playing a good game are Parvati, Sandra, and Rupert. I'd like one of them to win, but I really prefer Sandra.

I'm not sure where Jerri stands, but she does nothing for herself - just takes orders!

The preview made it look like it is going girls against guys. That would change everything.

Love Russell. I don't know how he manages to pull it off every week, but that guy can sure be persuasive. This is one guy you don't want to be on his bad side or else YOUR GONE!!!

Hope he manages to win immunity again next week, b/c, as much as I like him, everyone is on to his game play which might just do him in...but I hope not. Sandra may just be his biggest threat and I don't think he even knows it, but I surely hope he figures out that one before it's too late.

I like Russell. I don't find him "eeeeewwww" at all. Anorexic women with plastic boobs...that is what I find "eeeewwww". Russell is playing a good game....he's a hustler in more ways than one.

This season would be boring without Russell. I'm looking forward to watching Parvarti and Russell go head to head, but I think his biggest threat may be Sandra.

Colby continues to disappoint me in immunity challenges. He knew his butt was on the line, but gave in for donuts and milk. At least Ruppert gives his all during challenges. He's the only one fighting for what's left of the Hero's.

I think this is the best season ever. I am so glad Rupert didn't go and was thrilled the other two went. I don't like Colby that much anymore. I'd love for Rupert to win it but doubt he will.Russell just gives me the willies. What's the deal with Danielle's boob job?

What Marilyn said. I'm a Russell fan from day one. He's a great strategist.

I wonder what Sandra really found. I don't think it was immunity. I think it was just another clue to the idol.
It would be funny if Russell stumbled upon the idol again while Sandra thinks she holds the cards. Extra fun if he finds out she has the paper and tried to play him. LOL

Seeing Sandra find and hold that green immunity idol in her hands was great! I think she made THE strategic move of the season by keeping her mouth shut about it.

Love him or hate him, Russell is good at the game. And it IS just a game.

Parvati is an embarrassment to the female gender.

So Sandra actually held the idol? I just saw her focus on the paper. Then I read online that she hid the IO instead of keeping it with her. Can someone clarify?

I believe Sandra actually found the immunity idol along with a note (don't remember if other immunity idols had notes also or not) she did not have time to read the note for fear of being seen so she hid the immunity idol and note. I don't think they ever showed her actually reading the note later either? When Rupert was pretending to have the hidden immunity idol, Sandra(this only to the camera) did say she knows Rupert does not have it because she has it but she is not going to tell anyone. I have really been enjoying this season of Survivor, Russell does make it fun to watch. I really think he is setting himself up though, if he makes it to the final two or three, that no one is going to vote for him for the million.

Russell is the person to take to the end. you'd be assured to win against him.

lily316, no particular deal over Candice's boob job...just that so many people find Russell disgusting...is what I find amusing. If he was as cute as Colby, you would all love him and what he is doing. He is PLAYING a game....and pretty darn well. If he keeps it up, he deserves to win.

I don't think I would want to go against Russell in the final.
As much as I don't like his outright lying...he is a very good strategist. The game is to "outwit, outplay, outlast".
If the jury votes on who played the best game, it would have to be Russell.
...although I think Sandra is very clever as well. She just isn't as vocal about it...

If the game was named, "outwit, outplay, outlast, outbully" then it's Russell's game. Personally, the way he talks to people is pure bully and unacceptable and disgusting. In real life, you'd walk away from anyone who spoke to you that way. I hope that the girls put him on a spit and roast him.

I think Russell should win, but it may be a repeat of his last time on the show. He'll come up short. (no pun intended)
Unfortunately, he makes too many enemies to win it.
Do you think the jury votes for who deserves it, as opposed to the one who most liked, by all.??

The last jury were just a bunch of sore losers. Since this group has played the game before hopefully they will be a bit more pragmatic and remember that is a game and the purpose is to Outwit,Outlast and Outplay.

So I think he does have a better chance of winning this time around.

Sandra is smart to keep quiet about finding the idol. You really shouldn't trust anyone, especially once you get near the end.

foggyj, most likely, you are right. They hold grudges and vote against the ones who tricked them and voted them out. If they voted for who played the best game, Russell should have won the last time.

I don't know Russell personally, but my husband works with his father, and I know that he is very successful in business, so it isn't like he needs the money. But, you don't build a business from scratch like he has done by being wimpy and stupid. He is right about a lot of things.
I'm glad he got Jerri to go along and vote Danielle off.
I really don't like to see someone win who just rode along on someone else's coat tails. And when Colby more or less gave it to Tina....good Lord. Lost a lot of respect for him way back then.

"If he was as cute as Colby, you would all love him and what he is doing. " .... NO, it's not his looks!
lol Actually I think he is physically kinda
cute! yes, really, except for the tooth! lol

My husband has met him and said in real life, he has a bridge...so he doesn't look gap toothed. I think there is a lot of manipulation behind the scenes and how the show wants someone to be preceived....it would be awfully boring if everyone was as nice as Rupert or as cute as some of the other players. However, remember the first time Rupert was on....didn't he hide or throw away everyone's shoes? That was funny....and a good move, I thought.

I like Rupert but I would never call him nice. Passive/aggressive maybe but not nice.

I didn't have a problem with the way Russell plays so much. It's always been how my dh has said he would play the game. Russell does have a legitimate strategy. However, the one thing he hasn't realized yet is that at the final tribal council, he has to get votes in order to win. I think he has offended too many people along the way to win.

I don't like Russell personality wise because of his sore loser attitude after last season's game. He thinks he just got a bad jury last season, but he didn't. The jury doesn't have a set of rules they are required to use to vote. Strategically, he has had some brilliant plays, but he also hacked off anyone able to vote for him along the way. If they hate him too much to vote for him, then he legitimately loses.

I don't think Russell's looks are really what is holding him back. I believe that good looking people who do bad things in real life are sometimes hated more than ordinary people. Russell's strike against him is that he actually looks like a troll so he is easy to categorize when people want to make fun of him.

Rupert isn't physically attractive either. His first move was one that everyone loved so no one made fun of him. He was considered the lovable giant.

Marilyn..I was commenting on how BAD Danielle's boob job was. Really..does anyone think that's attractive? I do think Amanda is beautiful., Pavarti is pretty too, but this isn't a beauty contest , is it? I love this show after a few years of not loving it. Sandra might win, doubt Russel will.
