[@sleepinghusky19]

So because there was so little time between samoa and HvV, does that mean that Russell didnt know that he didn’t win Samoa when playing HvV? Because if he was thinking his play style had caused him to win Samoa, then that explains a lot about how he played HvV

[@isaacmemtorie3347]

I feel like it's only fair to inform him and the other Season 20 players if he won or not b/c everyone else knew how they performed on their previous seasons. It does affect how he plays a 2nd time.

[@totaldramatyler4484]

His social game is utter shit. He could be in the Final 3 against Skupin and Romeo, and he might even lose that.

[@blobviss-3367]

he posted a video on the survivor reddit, saying he didnt even see either of his seasons and telling people they'd never win if they'd play like him. russel's a fucking beast

[@ThorHC11]

@@totaldramatyler4484 Yeah, and I'm sure he understands that now, although he might not admit it. But the point is that if he wasn't informed of his result, he may have just "assumed" that he won Samoa, and if so, that would have significantly influenced how he played on HVV.

Im kind of a new survivor watcher but its actually crazy that russell made it into the final three in season 19 and then went out and played in HvV and made it to the final three again. man thought he was gonna win two million dollars

[@lfa5684]

The only reason he lost both of those seasons was because of a bitter jury

[@psychoticAjAX]

@@lfa5684 "only reason" lol maybe it's actually because he played two of the worst social games in the history of survivor. there is no such thing as a bitter jury. yup, earl, Todd all played strategic games and blindsided many, but they played the social game as well. They all won. Russell had a massive ego, and his arrogance made him an unlikable player. its not a bitter jury if they've been backstabbed like that and then been treated like shit

[@lfa5684]

[@psychoticAjAX]

@@lfa5684 its not even that he didn't play the social game, he actively went against it. your point about it being all social game isn't really right, the strategic game must be supported by the social game. Tony in WaW played a pretty brutal strategic game, yet he never treated other players like crap and gained a lot of respect in that way. while I agree with you on the outniced comment, Russell's case is different because he purposefully treated others badly. if he shut his mouth and didn't say anything, he would be far more respected

I'd say Chris had the best comeback in Survivor history. No one has dismantled an alliance of 6 on their own, much less an all women's alliance as one man. This dude is a Legend, and the fact that he wasn't brought back is so dumb. Could you imagine him facing off against the Black Widow Brigade?

[@blakeboettcher531]

I'm a simple man, I simply see a video by Idoled Out, I simply click it, and then I simply watch it, simple as that.

[@IdoledOut]

I humbly appreciate it!

[@TransparentEclipse]

Honestly the fact that Samoa was so poorly edited really hurt the chances of a lot of players from ever returning. The only returnees from that season are both Russell’s, Monica, and Laura, and all of them except for Hantz didn’t do anything on their returning seasons either. Good players like Eric, John, and Brett and good characters like shambo and dave were just completely robbed of screen time and in turn nobody even wants to see most of them return.

[@nathanboyer7739]

Shambo was considered for returnee seasons like Heroes vs Villains and Caramoan. Buuuut she doesn't want to return.

[@IdoledOut]

Galu is honestly one of my favorite tribes ever, I wish we could've seen more of them!

I think Russell could have won against Rupert and Colby at the end, which was his plan until Parvati won immunity. Russell had to strike at the girls after they voted out Candice behind his back

[@DannyPhantom435]

Coach had full blown b-roll of himself superimposed over an eagle

[@um773]

I still disagree with the ungodly amount of screen time Hantz got in both Samoa and HvV. We saw far too much of him in Samoa and it unfortunately missed us out on the other compelling people of the season like John, Dave, Brett, Kelly, Monica, eventual winner Natalie etc. Then to go on and have him shoved down everyone's throats again in HvV, robbing us of seeing more of the compelling arcs from more compelling players like Colby/Jerri finally making up, Candice being the Heroes underdog, JT/Amanda running the Heroes, Sandra's inspiring story to her two-time win, more insight into Tyson's blunder from Tyson's perspective, Courtney's hilarious antics and somehow surviving almost to the merge despite being the weakest link, etc. Hantz was clearly the biggest goat of both seasons with his piss poor social game, and yet the unfairly large edits he got in both seasons basically made him out to be this robbed player that should've won both seasons, and it's unfortunately the reason why many viewers still wrongly think he deserved to win when he clearly messed up big time.

[@juliencaron3048]

I loved him as a kid tbh I couldn’t get enough

[@bryanfuerst3277]

I at least understand his revolutionary play and his downfall was great to watch in Samoa, even though it was too much, and they wanted to hype him up. However his screen time in HvV was RIDICULOUS! We had the most iconic cast that is or ever will be and Russell took up all that time!

[@moonie1825]

[@creamsalt4001]

As much as I did enjoy Russell in Samoa and think he should've won that season, it makes sense as even though he played a super good strategic game, his social game and jury management was terrible, which is a crucial part of winning. It was arguably worse in Heroes vs. Villains and makes a lot more sense why he lost HvV (while I do think Parvati should have won HvV). So while Russell's strategic game was arguably one of the best, he had a terrible social game and jury management, so he really wasn't robbed the second time around, and it made sense why he lost the first time, even though Natalie didn't seem to play that well of a strategic game according the edit.
