And...................Russell is gone. Kinda of surprising, I thought he'd last a bit longer. Rob is looking pretty strong, though. Should be a good show.

Yanda · 03-10-2011, 01:12 AM

This is the season of Crying, First Phillip and now Ressel.

Cant believe Ralph told his tribe about the idol and further more blabbing about it at the Duel infront of the biggest blabber this game has ever seen in Phillip.

Also the Duel with the dominoes was pretty cool, thought it was a funner challenge than the IC.

GreenLantern · 03-10-2011, 07:48 AM

I was pretty upset that Russel is gone, he adds so much drama to the show. It is nice to see that there is zero script to this game, well near zero.. in that they did nothing to one side it or any kind of twist just alright bud, home time.

Matt is looking pretty strong in challenges, and this practice will serve him well at the merge if he makes it..

Ralph is really starting to piss me off, can't wait to see that hairy ####### make his way home. I can see him as a future pick for a survivor returnee though.. he makes for good TV.

3 seasons, 2 trips to the finals and the third one his tribe had to throw the challenge and gang up in unbeatable odds to vote him out. I'd say that is a pretty good survivor run for Russel.

Some Probst Tweets from last night:

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
The entire crew was invested in this duel - huge stakes. MATT, the guy who puts his faith in God. Taking on Russell, who many say...is evil in the flesh.

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
Russell felt the pressure - he'd never been in this situation before. Do or Die. One on one. Nowhere to hide.

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
Russel is gone. It's over. Mark it down. Bye bye.

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
never thought you'd see this from Russell did ya>?

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
what is about to happen is why Russell has been one of our biggest characters of all time

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
Ah Russell I am going to miss you!!!! What a way to go out! HUGE.

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
Do you think he's really gone for good... or do you think we could get him back one more time?

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
It was a pretty big moment for the crew too - we've invested a lot of time and energy in him - both good and bad. He gave Survivor a lot.

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
The good news is.. I can promise you that this season is just barely getting started. SO much more to come. You're going to love it.

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
A's to your Q's: I keep the snuffer from each season. Yes I am involved in editing. We choose beach typically based on prod logistics.

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
You thought Russell's exit was the highlight? Hang on...

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
How great is Boston Rob - lying about constipation!

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
I see your tweets about Russell - he will be missed - but this season won't miss him - it's that good.

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
Here's Zapatera's problem - they are STILL celebrating Russells exit. They should be moving forward. This tribe needs to get it together

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
Russells impact on this game will be felt for many more episodes. He really rocked things with his uncovering the idol.

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
Ralph made his 2nd gigantic mistake in this episode. All based on ego. A lesson to be learned. Ego can kill you in this game.

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
If Phillip returns again I'm going to plead with him to wear the same underwear!

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
A to your Q - Is P a former agent? we WILL find out at the live show. He will have to prove it to me.

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
A to your Q - No razors, no toothbrush, no hair gel, no nothing...

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
I still am reading your tweets about Russell - it's hard to imagine him gone. We've never seen it before. What an impact player.

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
We do a very good job of taking products like Craftsman tools and integrating them into a challenge in a way that makes sense. Our sponsors tell us months in advance which allows us to design specific challenges for their product.Groan if you want -it's your future

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
Dude if I was in this game and he crowed, I would be so tempted to knock him over. That's Ralph's 3rd mistake this episode. Ego.

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
Their hunger is NO joke. They are starving.

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
Tribal is very hot due to the center fire - puts out a ton of heat. I'm always sweating. They never are!

Hey guys, my latest Survivor blog is posted. Read all my comments about last night's episode!! www.jeffprobst.com http://ow.ly/4bKIz

JeffProbst Jeff Probst
Russell talks to me about his personal life, his time on Survivor and how his car broke down at mardi gras.You'll love it http://ow.ly/4bLBV

GreenLantern · 03-10-2011, 10:50 AM

The last tweet has a link to a one on one interview with Russel.

Interesting how he talks about his possibility of returning to the game, sounds like Jeff and Mark already have plans for him.

He is right though, his style of game really only works once, now that people have seen how he plays and how powerful he can be he will be first out every time. It is a big time commitment to head out there for all of this just to have someone throw a challenge and vote you out. I wouldn't blame him if he stayed away... but we all know him, he won't be able too.

Otto-matic · 03-13-2011, 01:43 AM

Rewatching Heroes Vs Villains yesterday, that season just had something about it that kept me hooked.

Hopefully this season can capture that spark again.

d_phaneuf · 03-17-2011, 01:48 AM

Rob is better at Survivor than most people are at anything, it's like watching Lemieux or Gretzky play hockey

he is two steps ahead of everyone at all times

Yeah, he's really on his game. If he can keep his alliance into the merge with two hidden immunity idols then he can pretty much put the thing to bed.

GreenLantern · 03-17-2011, 08:34 AM

So is there really two idols? Or was that just the second series of clues to find his idol?

I didn't think they released new idols until the current one had been played?

Komskies · 03-17-2011, 08:45 AM

It was a more revealing clue for the idol Rob had already found. Rob just swapped it for the crappy clue.

The whole idol search part 2 was just a facade to trick Grant.

GreenLantern · 03-17-2011, 09:08 AM

Yea that is what I thought hapened, old Robbie boy he is a clever one.

What sucks now is to keep Grant going he has to fake search for it too..

Rhettzky · 03-17-2011, 10:06 AM

Ahhh, i get it now. I thought that he swapped the clue to a new idol out for the clue to the old idol.

CaptainCrunch · 03-17-2011, 11:09 AM

Dearly Beloved

We are gathered here today to say good bye to Kristina, she might not have been the smartest player in survivor history, she might not have been the toughest player in survivor history nor the most determined, but we here are mourning the passing of an outstanding set of cans.

Komskies · 03-17-2011, 11:16 AM

T's and P's dear Kristina, T's and P's.

Parallex · 03-17-2011, 02:00 PM

If I were Rob I would have just pretended to have not seen the clue in the coffee... now he'll probably just have Grant pestering him about finding it and likely have to make a show of looking for it just for him without looking like he's looking for it to everyone else. He's pretty damn safe so it's no biggie but it seemed like a real low value move.

Hope Matt sends the first half of the snotty twosome home next week. God those two get on my nerves.

Cheese · 03-30-2011, 08:32 PM

JeffProbst Jeff Probst

#Survivor For following me tonight, you are the first to hear that next week...we merge. So the winner of the duel goes back into the game.

Yanda · 03-30-2011, 10:32 PM

Brutal that Matt hurts his foot in the preview.. im sure everyone is cheering for him since hes won like 5 or 6 in arrow now.

Also why hasnt Grant and Rob gone out randomly to look for the idol, no way Grant is just sitting on this clue doing nothing. I guess with the other tribe losing so much they dont get much face time in the 2nd half of the show.

Speaking of which, im really not a fan of Redemption Island. The thing always eats up the 1st 20 minutes of every episode and there just isnt time to show the other survivors. I can honestly say the only thing ive seen from the one tribes camp is Julie and the rest of them laying in there shelter.

d_phaneuf · 03-31-2011, 01:54 AM

think it's poised for Rob's tribe to run the table, they are at 6, the other tribe at 5, if Sarita wins the duel I am guessing David votes her immediately back out

and I don't think Matt would go to the other tribe either if he wins

Based on Probst's tweets they love the RI idea and it is here to stay. They like the idea of a challenge at the start of a show, and the twitters that follow also seem to love this aspect of the program.

Yanda · 03-31-2011, 08:53 AM

I also dont like how much talking happens at RI, No secrets this season because everything just gets blabbed.
