[@zeaferjones1404]

I agree, I liked watching the new Parvati on Winners at War. She got swap screwed into a 4-person pregame alliance in fact from what Michele said it sort of screwed up that alliance too because they had to turn on each early. However, it was cool seeing her playing a better social game. I actually think if she made it to the finals people would have felt good voting for her while in the past the jury begrudgingly voted for her. I could see Russell making similar adjustments and playing very well.

[@elijahculper5522]

Survivor is a fundamentally social game about getting the people you vote out to like you and give you a million dollars. It’s about reading the other castaways, figuring out what kind of gameplay they respect, and modifying your strategy to impress the people who will decide your fate. Tommy read the other contestants like a book. He knew that there were more people in the jury who would vote for the person who made a personal relationship with them than would vote for a more dominant player in terms of challenges and advantages. He built relationships with the other contestants and leveraged those relationships for information, and ultimately jury votes. He created a situation where he never needed to win immunity or find hidden advantages. It wasn’t flashy gameplay, but it was no less impressive than a player like Tony Vlachos one Rob Mariano. Tommy manipulated an island full of people into giving him a million dollars for just hanging out with them for a month. He never had to intimidate or force people. He just listened to them, figured out what made them tick and played them like a fiddle. Season 39 had interesting gameplay and a meticulous and strategic winner. His game was subtle, nuanced, different, and ultimately pretty interesting to watch.

[@xNightHawk32]

Lyeon Bai yeah the politics of season 39 turned me off. I finished the season, but the racial politics and the sexual harassment... I tune in for Survivor! I want to see good gameplay! Outwit, outlast and outplay!! - Good gameplay speaks for itself. That’s how it should be! Well that’s what I tune in for. I want to be entertained. I want to see an adventure! I want to see heroes and villain’s mix it up! Many people would probably call Russel a villain for the way he played but man was he entertaining to watch! Loved it!!

[@elijahculper5522]

Brian Jones How can you call David vs Goliath passive gameplay? In that season, you’ve got the first correct use of an idol nullifier, the first time a minority alliance successfully split their vote, several correct idol plays, a fake idol play, several blindsides throughout both the pre- and post-merge, and a perfectly timed immunity run. That cast was at each other’s throats the entire game and they innovated the strategic aspects of the game more than most recent seasons.

[@natalie-ze2et]

“Season 39- * pause * terrible season! Horrible season!” 😂 I totally agree

[@theimortal1974]

Mr Touchdown neither of the other players were worthy, but here’s the thing- Chris played a great game... for 6 days. He did not outwit until the final 6, and did not outplay. That final 3 sucked. Again, Chris got VOTED OFF. I don’t think people should be able to come back once they are voted off. I was alright with devens, but only because he came back in the mid merge.

[@TheDollyce]

This has been one of THE BEST KZbin videos I've seen you do, Russell. I really appreciate how you've matured, and how you take ownership of your dark days. That said, I agree with everything you said. About Richard Hatch: he is an intelligent man, but he's NOT a smart man. Ever since the Sue Hawk debacle, he's never been on Survivor again. A lawsuit ensued, Sue Hawk against the world, but she finally got over it and dropped it. I don't blame her for what some people call her "overraaction" to Hatch's penis accidentally brushing her thigh in the Challenge. She feels the way she feels. But here's who I blame: CBS should never have allowed Hatch to play the challenges naked. It's completely uncalled for. He's an idiot. In my opinion, I think it's abusive for his Tribe to have to see his penis everyday, day in and day out. There's no need for his nudity. He's crying out for attention. He gets it all right! I don't think CBS will EVER allow him on the show again because even if they make him sign a NO NUDITY clause, he'll blow it off and strip down DURING the filming. And there's another "incident" on their hands. It was hard enough for CBS to decide when to yank the touchy-feely Weinstein Wannabe off Season 39! Can you imagine trying to control Hatch? He'd strip down, get pulled, and enjoy his 37 day paid vacation at a local hideout on the CBS dime! He'd be laughing at CBS for being so stupid to have him on again. I'd love to see Hatch on the show, don't get me wrong. I think he's hilarious. And the editing blurs out his penis so I don't have to look at it! It's really too bad he's such an idiot. But sometimes highly intelligent people are idiots in life. He's an interesting character that we'll never get to see on the Island ever again. Instead we have to watch Vanilla Sarah! Bletch!

[@reubenmanzo2054]

I haven't actually seen 'All Stars', so why was he allowed to perform the challenge naked in the first place? Actually, I'll go one step further. What made him decide to perform the challenge naked in the place?

[@TheDollyce]

@@reubenmanzo2054 I don't know what possessed Hatch to do the Challenge buck naked. He's an exhibitionist, for sure. It was a very physical challenge! A network of intersecting 2-6 planks were placed over a pond. The Survivors had to get from Point A to Point B to win points, and many times this meant you faced off with a Survivor from the other Tribe. You had to inch around each other, much like Everest climbers going UP have to inch around climbers going DOWN on the Hillary Step! . A single file 6" path, with a 10, 000 ft drop on one side and 8,000 ft drop on the other!; Anyway, Richard's Johnson was flippin" and floppin' everywhere. One mistake and he could've ripped it off on the 2x6 as he fell into the drink. Survivor SHOULD NOT allow nudity in Challenges especially. In camp, it's annoying, offensive and laughably pathetic. But in a physical challenge, it's outright insane. That's how Sue Hawk got "touched" by the Flying Johnson. It took her a day and a half to process the encounter, then SHE BLEW A GASKET. Sue Hawk, for all she seems so TOUGH & ROWDY is really a very sensitive woman.

To go back to back seasons and know where the vote was going to land every tribal says a lot about the great game you played. You deserved both of wins. You played in a time where the game was very personal. If you played in recent years, I believe you would have won. You honestly impacted and changed the game.

i dont think todd will ever return hes never been considered before & they might be to afraid to bring him back because of his alcoholic issues

[@shawnhoelscher8164]

I love that Bob is so high on this list, but I think you hit the nail on the head, I'm pretty sure he's in his late 70's. I was mad that the season 40 special didn't highlight his fake idol, that drove me nuts

[@lb6056]

I miss Russell’s game play. I mean, what a legend: First to sabotage his own tribe, first to find numerous idols without clues...brilliant. I like Natalie, but Russell should have won. I think the Samoa jury was the beginning of bitter juries not awarding Sole Survivor to the most deserving person. Russell, you are in good company. Sometimes I look at the final four of all seasons and can name at least 13 who deserved to win over the eventual winner. Dominic, Rick Devens, David Wright, etc. I could go in and on....

[@michaeldefeo1439]

True about Russell getting for Survivor Samoa but that was definitely not the start of butthurt juries giving it to the least deserving person, it actually started with the 2nd season, Survivor Australia, if u ask me where the Jury gave it to Tina who basically did nothing, instead of Colby.

[@luisleal4756]

Natalie White still has him shook till this day, love that!

[@Rezzing]

Not shook but she didnt deserve the win so to this day it is still mind boggling that she won over russ

[@johnmillay6790]

Still shoulda gave russ the title. She deserves the money but russ is the ultimate survivor.she got the votes

[@TheDemonCaine]

It sucks. It is what it is. Jury management is a real thing, but an unbiased jury would have definitely given him the win compared to how Natalie was simply a coattail rider.

[@AllRequired]

@@TheDemonCaine Jury management is a real thing, all right. Natalie knew this.

[@TheDemonCaine]

@@AllRequired I did say "it is what it is". I understand why she won, but it was because the jury got butthurt, but to the extreme. They're supposed to vote based on 3 criteria; who outwit, who outplayed and who outlasted all the others. Russell fulfilled more of the criteria to win. While jury management is a very real thing, coattail riding to the end is a very real thing too. It is what it is. For the audience, we want to see the best player win. To the players, they just want to win, so I can't blame Natalie for doing what she did. She's just a winner who nobody cares won.

[@duaneology589]

Loved Russell's Survivor seasons. Happy to see he's in a good place. I would enjoy watching him play again.

Some people might disagree but I want to see Spencer win a season.

[@berelentless2572]

Your not alone

You ain't wrong buddy. Should've won second chance IMO

[@taylorlevy17]

No I think he should have won

[@MsMegsc]

Yah Spencer was good

[@420schmokey420]

he should of left the cass rivalry alone. she did blind slide him. but others i felt did him worse. he just kept the hate goin even thru the first season. that attention i think hurt him in jury.

[@aaronsmith4806]

That Tyson move was phenomenal and should have won you the game and if you explained it in a way to be giving the credit to Tyson and others, that might have got the vote. You got a guy to unintentionally vote so that he got himself Voted out!

[@joffreyg7994]

Brian: awesome winner. Crap human being. Jt: i think he tried so hard. He lost his legacy. Cochran : 🤮 Mike: i like him. I want to see him again. Tommy: horrible season, horrible winner. Next. Chris 38: no way 😄 EOE worst twist ever. Jenna : 🤮 i hated her in season 6. Aras: i don't like him so much. Earl: i want him back ! Great player. Chris: i love him ! Amazing player. Tom: the old tom of course but now... it's over for him i think :((( Natalie: i want to see her too. I think she is underrated. Fabio: 😄 i like him but not my 1st choice. Todd: i definitely want him back ! He is sober now. Vecepia: underrated winner. Her social gameplay was so good. Bob: too old now i think for Cbs. Tina: i think her story is complete. But i'm freaking like her. Richard: of course ! The KING.

[@muadline5989]

Yes, Richard Hatch would always be the King. If he wasn't naked on the first season, the series would not have been renewed.

[@pesty3]

COchran won due to a bitter jury. he wouldnt be able to make jury this year and he doesnt want to get embarrassed. Mike was awesome and should play again.

[@cheese4013]

@@pesty3 You're so fucking stupid if you think that Cochran won because of a bitter jury. Dawn and Sherri were despised and that's because of their shitty gameplay and personalities. Cochran ran the end game of Caramoan.

THE RUSSELL HANTZ SHOW - Why don't they have a just runner- up season ? With all runner - up so at least one runner - up winners this time !!!

[@ci_blanch5407]

I've heard that Vecepia and Mike H. have both had falls from grace with the production team in their post-Survivor lives, but I agree that they would have been deserving inclusions. There are also rumors that Bob C. was touchy feely with some of the women in his season. It's too bad about Bob; I've always thought that he was an underrated winner, given how he dominated challenges and was voted as the Sprint Player of the season by fans (but I still think that Sugar should have won).

[@szekesfehervar2230]

Sugar totally sucked

[@biggawinnacrapsa3870]

Parvati would have him for lunch.

[@ratducci7917]

He's literally one of the worst winners ever. He's played three times and he's been THE WORST player on his second and third season. Not even exaggerating he was the WORST player on HvH and Game Changers.

[@chwgwm]

Ratducci Roblox that’s a super loaded statement and very much an opinion lol. I didn’t think he was worst on HvV at all, he made a risky move that could have been seen as one of the greatest, instead it back fired but that one move doesn’t make him the worst of that season? What? There are loads of players I’d put ahead of him for worst winners lol.

[@ratducci7917]

[@storytime_with_auntiek]

Russel, I loved your mischief when you first played. You were the villain I didn’t hate. Now, I love seeing how you’ve grown and it seems like your mind is sharper, wiser and you have learned the meaning of tempered restraint. I’m rooting for you to play again. You need the title of sole survivor

[@mjslawrence9554]

I'd definitely swap out Ben for Mike. And it's a travesty that we won't see Rich and Jenna in the mix imo.

[@ohree1]

MJS Lawrence Rich was called and he accepted. CBS then called him a few days later telling him he wouldn’t be there. They did the same to Tina (the winner from season 2). Huge mistake and the people that replaced them were even voted off early.

Bottom Pop Rob was guaranteed to be on the cast along with amber. Rich and Tina were supposed to be on the cast but they got swapped out by Nick and I THINK Ben
