That's what they made it look like in the promo for next week. Of course that most likely means the opposite will happen.

This has been a great season of Survivor.....

With Rupert now gone Parvati and Sandra MUST team up. And they will need to take Russell with them to the final 3 or they will have no shot of winning.

Remember that Parvati and Sandra have both won a season already. I believe the only way they would get votes is if they take Russell the snake to the finals. Colby & Jerri should win if they make the final 3 just because they have played nice and haven't already won the million.

Honestly though, I Think Russell will win the final two immunity challenges now that Parvati's favorite challenges have come and gone.

I really don't want Parvati to win. I am cool with anyone else. Russell DESERVES it the most for the second straight season. he may be a jerk.... But no one ever votes him off!!!

I also agree on Colby. What was he doing just lying on the bed watching a movie while the two women battled it out over the clue a couple of weeks ago? Pathetic.

Then he yells at his brother for not telling him where to throw the bucket full of water?

He has lost it.

Yeah I think there he just wanted to win so badly he was blaming his brother but it didn't make sense since it was reward not immunity. A friend of mine said he heard on radio that Colby had lost like 15 pounds right before he arrived for Survivor trying to get in better shape at the last minute. If true add in all the weight he's lost since he's there and he may just be physically drained. Losing weight quickly usually means the wrong way(not eating enough) and can lead to no energy which seems to be his problem. I mean Jeff barely had started the immunity last night and Colby was out.

Very interesting season, I wasn't sure what to expect but it's been great up until now. Russell is himself, Parvati continues to smile as she's ripping your throat out, Sandra is her same old self. At this point it seems like Colby is there because nobody thinks he can win challenges and Jerry just has had really good timing on when to vote with the right block. I do think there's a lot of truth to the claim that everyone wants to be up against Russell in the finals. As said both Sandra and Parv have won before and nobody wants to give them a second million, but if they're up against Russell they have a chance.

At this point I'd like to see Russell win it, if not him then Jerry.

Great season...... I liked how Rob put it... "Russell plays to get to the end, not to win".

Seems like the perfect quote to me.

And I am comfortable with Sandra winning. She really does have the social game down. And her jury speeches were the best. "I gave all you heroes a chance to win this game and you all kept shutting the door in my face!"

Good prediction, Sandra.

If Russell showed a little humility, he might get some votes. Very dumb at the end.

Russell is right he is the best Survivor its too bad they letter the BITTER ASS people that lost vote for who wins! Its whats wrong with the show IMO and Russell showed it once again back to back seasons the WORST player wins because of a spiteful and bitter jury of the losers! I just may be done with this crap ass show forever! Its pretty lame when you can just look at the final 3 and say who was the worst player because thats who always wins this damn show...unbelivable!

No, he is not the best Survivor. He totally failed at the major aspect of the game, which is making sure that you have the VOTES to win it.

He back-stabbed/lied/cheated to the final 3, but his arrogance was once again his downfall.

The real loser is Russell.

Richard Hatch.

Was the biggest jerk after Russell. But they had to hand it to him. He played harder than everyone else.

So did Russell. The guy gets every idol, used his idol to save the stupid chick he fell in love with (Pavarti). He carried that alliance himself. Got rid of Danielle when he needed to.

Best player.

that's the part Russell clearly doesn't get and you could see Jeff get mad at him and just essentially cut him off everytime he went off that tangent.

That's not the game Russell signed up to play, he signed up to play Survivor and part of what makes Survivor is that the jury is made up of people you voted off. They could try and change it by not having jurors vote until the finale so they've seen the whole show on tv, but that would be a new dynamic to the show. The show has worked just fine having them vote while still on the island.

Rob is right, Russell will get to the final his way but he'll never win, and everyone else there said it too, you can't win the way you play.

It's very entertaining to watch and I'm glad he got the 100K from Sprint, but last night it was very apparent you can NOT win that game playing the way Russell does, not only do people not vote who they think was the strongest player, people hold grudges.

You could see Russell just doesn't want to accept it that's why he wants the fans to have a vote.

I would have liked to see Russell win but in the end what makes the show great is the jury determines who wins.

IMHO.

Sure and if Russell had been on the first Survivor he likely would have won over Richard. The problem is since the first season everyone has seen the show and it's harder to win now. Richard invented the alliance concept, now everyone goes into the game planning on alliances etc. Richard won becuase the others appreciated how he got to the end, it was something they hadn't thought of themself, but that's not new anymore and it's Russell's downfall now.

Not only that, but Richard, while a backstabber, was not so arrogant about it, and made sure HE was not solely to blame for people getting voted off.

Personally, I think not ticking everybody off is good strategy. And flying under the radar can be jolly good strategy. Part of Russell's problem is that he's just so pig-headed that he is RIGHT about every aspect of the game he can't see that the people who will be VOTING are looking at him with loathing. And will vote their feelings.

I enjoyed every last minute of Coach. His King Arthur exit line was perfect. Please somebody: put a camera on the guy 24/7. I'll watch!

Whatever its clear who played the best game and it sure the hell was not freakin' Sandra! Its an obvious problem with the format of the show its like a great freaking movie with the ********* ending ever it just ruins it for some people...myself included. When a pathetic player such as Sandra only makes it to the end because NO ONE considers them a threat and then the ******** jury is so bitter they award the prize to the worst player left....how the hell is that not a total joke to you people? I think Russell has every right to be pissed off I would have just walked out when they read the results, I would have stood up and said you bitter losers should be ashamed of yourselves for not honoring the game and just giving a million dollars to a pathetic player to spite the guy that kicked all your asses the whole damn game, and then walked off on the whole damn show! And turn to Jeff and say don't invite me back to play your game unless you decide to fix it and not let the LOSERS vote who gets the money how ridiculous of a concept that is! Shoot even if Parvati would have won at least it wouldn't have been a complete crock of sh#@ ending to what was a pretty good season.

Do you not see the total lack of understanding regarding Sandra not being a threat (in both her seasons) and then winning?

Isn't part of the strategy on whom to take to the finals attempting to decide who the jury would vote for and it seems that Sandra is the exact type of person --the one who flew under the radar-- that you shouldn't take to the finals?

Honestly, it's been this way for 20 seasons. If you don't like it you could have quit watching it long long ago. :shrug:

No doubt. Russell was confident NO ONE would vote for Sandra.

Russell didn't get a SINGLE vote. That should tell you how flawed his strategy was.

Nothing wrong with Survivor. Russell just is a bad player.

Only guy to win Americas vote twice. A cool 350 grand. I would call that a bad player.

The problem is all the pansy asses in the world now want to sympathize with the losers! Russell plays the game hard and better than the rest so they are so bitter and hateful that he made them all look stupid they give the prize to someone to spite him. They all know in their heart that he is the best player and schooled all their asses and they can't stand it! It is what it is a HUGE flaw in the way the winner is picked in this game, spin it however you want it is a complete joke that Sandra has won Survivor twice and a guy like Russell who went BACK TO BACK seasons with a target on his back and managed to work the game like NO OTHER doesn't win. A COMPLETE JOKE!
