I agree that Russell's comment didn't make sense in his voting confessional, but also what else was he meant to do?

"This is so hard. First and foremost it was the the majority, secondly I promised Mike today that I wouldn't vote for him" First episode, first vote confession, and it showcases beautifully why Natalie won. She managed to be on the correct side of every vote, set aside her own feelings to do the vote that was in her best interest, and put worth behind the connections she made with people and kept her word. She made such strong emotional/social connections yet didn't let how she may have felt about someone change her vote if she couldn't influence the majority about it in advance. And she clearly saw each of the people she eliminated as a person rather than a pawn.

He basically did the hard work for her.

​@@kevinwheeler7427 ​This argument doesn't work because in literally any other game, Natalie would've had no chance at all. Her only chance of winning was to be dragged to the final by someone who was both an unbelievably good strategist and an absolutely abhorrent human being. Russell did everything right but the social game, and people justifiably point to that as a major failing. Natalie did nothing except for the social game, and in every other situation, that gets you eliminated and forgotten.

Those confessionals are the reason why Russell lost the game

Anyone that thinks Natalie didn't do anything and was just lucky misses the point. Natalie knew exactly what she was doing every single step of the way. Never before or since has any contestant been in the position of having to play at the absolute barest bare-bones level. Just look at what happened to those that dared to question Russell or point out the folly of his actions. She had to be the exact opposite on all fronts just to avoid his heat-seeking stink bombs. For proof, search for "The Fall of Russell Hantz, Part 1" and "Offending Many Who Do Not Understand Survivor."

Just a reminder, Samoa is just another version of Thailand. Only this time, Jan wins for some god forsaken reason.

A version of Thailand where Brian would have been dumb enough to think he would beat Jan in the end (which he wouldn't have). You see, the one thing Brian understood was you HAVE to bring someone more disagreeable than yourself to the end. Everyone hated Clay. Noone hated Natalie.

Funny, I don't recall Natalie being a pigtailed loon.
