You know you can have controversial opinions without turning people off from your perspective by having a stick up your ass right? But second, the fact there even were 5 immunities in the game is more a problem of modern survivor than anything else imo. You can always say she should of found it and at least it wasn't rocks but it still felt like a cheap way for someone to go out. There's no harm in acknowledging that especially when finding an idol sometimes is literally solely based on where you sitting at a dining table.

[@Cmullet33]

Russell!!! This is so awesome that you have a KZbin account. You have always been my family's favorite Survivor player because you always called it like it was and controlled the entire game and blindsided everyone along the way to the final 3. We always felt bad your juries never appreciated your gameplay and made the game too personal not giving you the votes at the end to win it all. Love the content and hearing your opinions on this all-winners season, keep up the good work!

[@TheDollyce]

I really appreciate your assessment of the Red Team! But I'm hoping Sarah Lacina makes Final 3, or jury at least. She's smarter than people think. Don't count Yul out. He's got mad people skills, he's good in challenges, and but not too good. He's a great undercover agent. He will make jury. He's got his own style. You are soooo right about crazy cop Tony Vlachos. He won his first season because he took everyone by storm. But he's unable to control his ridiculous antics. I think he'll play the same game regardless of him saying he's learned his lesson. No. He's the Crazy Cop with testosterone dialed all the way up to 10. No people skills at all. He can't change. Russell, we'll be checking your KZbin channel EVERY WEEK to hear what you have to say about the episode. I'm subscribed and clicked the Notification bell!

Wendell, his game basically was finding a partner, move as a couple until the final 5 or 4 if u remember correctly. So if he can find another partner here, i brt you he's gonna make it go 6 or 5 or even further 3. And Tony the last season he played, everyone knows that he was paid to increase the ratings thats why he did all the stupid illama shack stuff, u can bet your ass he will play differently and more focused this time like he was the 1st time.

Just now watching this but it is interesting to see how it aged... (spoilers for anyone who hasn't watched the season yet) Tony (lmao. I like that later on Russell says he didn't see any spoilers. Clearly that is true, otherwise he would not be so wrong about Tony) Wendell (not bad. Bottom side of merge is accurate though placement is not exact, but overall, reasonably close) Amber (very on point. First boot from this tribe but not overall thanks to challenge win, plus voted out because Rob. Good call) Kim (Pretty close, off by just 1 or 2, so another good call there) Sophie (A bit off on context, since she was definitely not dragged and did play well, but accurate on placement. Should have just stuck with your first guess of 9th, Russell :P) Sarah (off by a bit, but post-merge Sarah did well through aligning with Tony and since Tony was picked to go early, that wasn't considered, understandably) Nick (I agree about Nick and Adam being similar in play style. Wrong about memorability, though not as much in Nick's case. Relatively close though on placement) Sandra (lol at the personal stuff, but right that she seems done at this point. She wasn't about to deal with the edge of extinction and I would be surprised if she plays again. Placement reasonably accurate, though she did get idol'd out... and it wasn't a bad move necessarily. It was ballsy, but it backfired and Denise outplayed her) Yul (not quite, but not too far off. Predicted earlyish merge boot vs. actual final pre-merge boot) Tyson (winner? nope lol. Would be extremely wrong if not for edge of extinction lol) Overall, not bad. Tony and Tyson were the only bad calls really, with Sarah as a sort of ehhh... call. The rest were all within a reasonable margin of error.

To your point, that's not playing someone. "Oh the jury didnt call me out that my game was nonexistent. All part of the plan." Dumbest logic I've heard. That's just luck and a bunch of bitter outplayed jury. The hero's played themselves by handing over the idol and sealing their own fate and they cried and didnt reward the player that outplayed them they instead gave a million to the coasting player to show Russell and parvati. Sandra did no such thing to play anyone. Had that season been played nowadays Russell would have at least 1 win right now if not 2.

The strategy is cry wolf, only that the Wolf is real this time and all she did was not take the wolf out though she had the power to do that at final 6 and final 5 because why take out a wolf that is actually a goat? The wolf thinks he is toothier so he is the powerful and he is the best of the bunch, but at the end of the day, he is just that, a wolf, a GOAT in this games terminology.
