OFFICIAL Survivor: Heroes v. Villains Thread (starting Feb. 11, 2010)

Best season everrr

Russel is amazing. The island wasn't big enough for the egos of both Rob and Russel. Though the main reason they got rid of Rob is because he's a great player/schemer.

Everything would be different if Tyson voted how he was supposed to last week though

Glad things have turned out they way they have. I never liked Rob much.

I would have loved to see Tyson's face when Rob walked in the door after being booted.

 

[Newbian]

Just once again Russell proves why he is the best survivor ever.

I saw Coach wussing out a mile away since he believes so much in loyalty and will never make it far because of that.

I loved Rob's whining early on in the show and it showed he knew he was going to get owned.

 

[Newbian]

Keith I really suggest you watch s19 and dvr this season or watch them online before abandoning this season since Rob is gone so you can watch Russells handwork and then see if it's worth it to keep watching.

 

[Capt Caveman]

I guess I'm in the minority, liking Rob and despising Russell.

I predict Russell will lose again in the end.

Of course he will...90% of the people on the judging area will be people he got kicked off like last season.

count me as part of that group... B-Rob has been one of my favorite players.

That... and dont forget.. he's married to Amber. Guy loses a Million dollars in the season finale of All Stars... but turns around and marries it.

ULTIMATE player!

Let's say Russell makes it to the final two... do you guys think any of his own tribe mates besides Parvati and Danielle will vote for him for the million bucks?

Would they? No.
SHOULD they? Yes.
Would I? Yes.

I simply do not understand this side of Survivor. They RARELY vote for who PLAYED THE GAME the best. They vote for "who was honest", "who was their friend", "who was nice"...

I don't "like" Russell, but I COMPLETELY think he's one of the best... no I will say it.... THE BEST to every play the game. I would always vote for the one most deserving.

 

[onza]

I'm starting to wonder. The people who dislike Russell, did you guys watch season 19?

If no, I think watching season 19 would change your view point on Russell.

Russell knows how to play the dam game, plain and simple.

 

[TwiceOver]

Thank god, no more Bwostan Raab.

 

[onza]

So when do you guys think the merge will come? I predict in the next two episodes

 

[purbeast0]

well it usually comes when there are 10 members left, so i'm guessing it will come 3 episodes from now since there are 12 left now.

 

[onza]

Just enough time to vote out sandra / courtney.

Probst's blog up. Awesome as always.

This is an intersting comment on the blog that I hadn't thought of:

Perhaps the reason that Russel got so upset in the finale of season 19 was that he knew he didn’t make the final 2/3 of season 20 and so wasn’t going to win either season.

Discuss?

This was discussed in the Season 19 thread.

There's 12 people left, so probably within the next two episodes.

Two in the finale with 9-10 on the jury

The social aspect is part of the game. It's what keeps you from being voted out and ultimately what wins you the million bucks.

Ozzie was awesome at challenges and he never won either.

 

[Drako]

LOL, i loved BRob's parting shot at Coach.

"You’re a little man." And just walks away - classic.

I actually thought he was saying it to Russell. Everyone pokes fun at his troll-ish characteristics. I WISHED he had said it to Coach. but then I read Probst's blog, and it does indeed seem to mean it was directed toward Coach. Rightfully so too.

B-Rob got screwed by Coach and Tyson. And yes, outplayed by Russell.

*** SPOILERS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT SEEN SEASON 19***

russel has already made the final 2/3 of the season. 12-6 people remaining is the 2/3 portion.

also, russel stated that he already knew he had lost PRIOR to the votes being read live on the air, and that was the reason he was pissed off before they were read.

and its no surprise he was angry after the votes were casted because he still thought he was the better player, which a lot of people agreed. some of the people who voted against him even said afterwards they wish they could have changed their vote and voted for him.

Look at the replay. He was saying it to Coach - Coach tried to hug BRob, BRob turned his back to him and said "You're a little man".

 

[Muadib]

I guess we lose KT, but I loved the way things went. Now the question is, did Russell learn from last season, or does he now piss off his alliance?

 

[JujuFish]

One down, one to go. I was hoping Russell would go first but as long as they both ultimately go, all will be well.

 

[PowerEngineer]

You have to respect the way that Russell manages to manipulate people into voting his way, and the great leverage he gets out of the hidden immunity idols. I agree that he is be best "villian" of all time.

That said, the people he manipulates are just plain idiots. Russell makes no secret of the fact that he's in this for himself and will lie to anyone and everyone to advance in the game. Only fools (like Jerry) would trust any "promise" he makes. It would have been Russell taking the walk instead of Rob if the tribe's average IQ were higher.

By choosing Russell over Rob, the "villians" have squandered their numbers advantage. Rob could have held the "villians" together. When the merge does come, the "villians" will now be a fragmented mess that the smaller "heros" group will work to their advantage. Russell will continue to survive by his wits, while the another fool will be voted out each week. Even if Russell makes it to the end again, the other person will certainly win again.

Makes my sentimental favorite (Colby) look like a better bet.

Final 2 or final 3, not final two-thirds...

I'll check the batteries in my sarcasm meter just in case...
