'Everybody Went Except For Russell!!' SURVIVOR 20.5!!
I am – Hercules!!
So much to love about “Survivor” this season. Boston Rob’s arrogance. Russell’s treachery. Coach’s madness. James’ (roid?) rage. Amanda’s borderline nakedness. Then an amazing blindside, with JT unexpectedly but wisely throwing in with Tom and Colby to oust the devious Cirie.
Will Russell learn this week that Tom found a hidden immunity idol before he did? Will the knowledge shake the boastful oilman’s confidence?
Despite increased competition from “American Idol,” “Survivor” hit an uptick last week:
Thursday 18-49 finals (repeats in gray; previous in parentheses):

+ Expand All

Heroes aren't so heroic! Villains have decent qualities! For the broad television that is "Survivor" it really doesn't get much better.
-
I love that they've separated these contestants into teams based on publilc perceptions largely generated by the show's own editors over the years, and now those very perceptions are coming into question due also, in part, to that same editing process. "See what we've been doing to you, dear devoted fan? We're still doing it."
-
So I don't see a ratings jump.
-
...has been so tragically staged... all the yoga wank.... lame !
-
That sounded game ending.
-
This ia all-stars, they can't keep the same fomula as every other season. They need to throw in some big twists too really throw off everyones game.
-
yea there won't be a raitings jump.....there won't even be a Survivor next week.
-
This is shaping up to be great. If Rob is smart he and Jerri will throw a couple of votes Parvati's way so if the others vote Russell and he pulls the II out (and votes for Rob) they still get rid of someone they don't like. Otherwise Rob will go home and Russell will rule the game
-
I'm sad that Russell hasn't found it yet. He should have snuck away at a different time, but since he was busted anyway, he should have persevered and hoped some subsequent victories gave him time to smooth over.
And I'm thrilled Cerie is gone. JT made the right move, since Amanda and James are easily swayed.
And I would posit this game IS different from the others. More merged reward/immunity challenges: leaving us time to spend with people (characters) that are already known. It gives a better show for the diplomatic component. -
...he brings a lot into the game, but his search for the idol was one of the stupidest things I've seen. People are putting up the tarp, he could've snuck off or waited, but he yells at them, hey, I'm going for a walk, right down to the beach. He might as well have said hey, I'm gonna go look for the idol.
-
Russel is one of my favorites, but I can;t see him making it past the next two tribals unless the villains manage to avoid both of them. He went after that idol after everyone said DO NOT GO AFTER THE IDOL OR YOU WILL BE VOTED OFF. His only chance is to get the heroes to tribal fo4r the next 2 times so he has a chance to smooth things over. I was also surprised that JT actually switched sides! That was amazing!
-
Can't wait to see the eventual Rob blindside.
-
Who cares if everyone knows you have the idol, as long as have the idol. I have said it in past talkbacks, Russell is right, anyone who does not look for the idol is a moron.
-
It seems like the Survivor talkbacks always bring out the shitheads. Yes the show sucks. No one watches. One of the worst TV shows ever invented. Never started a trend. I wish these people would stop trolling, or that we could see them for who they really are. Anyone want to guess what kind of people whittiest or disgustin_justin are in real life when they can't hide behind a user ID?
-
I think he has it. I feel that the producers would be smart to not show us if he did find it, keep us guessing at home. I think that the announcement about his walk was way to un-Russell like, that he might have been trying to get someone else to go look so he could put a target on someone else. Also, getting the idol is power, no matter what idiots like Sandra think. Russell is smart enough to manipulate a vote and get someone voted out *ahem, Rob*, by using the idol to split a vote. If he survives the next Villans Tribal Council, and the villans get immunity by beating the Zeros, he has a week to ten days to save himself and get back in everyone's good graces. Russell is way too good to pull a bonehead move with no backup plan.
-
they are harmless. They are just angry that there is no Project Runway talkback for them to discuss their favorite show.
-
Your answer made me laugh. I needed that. Thanks!!!
-
Russell better get his game back soon. I'm amazed at how badly he's playing right now and hasn't adjusted his tack with the seasoned players he is with. I'd hate to see him voted out because of that. He's turning into a one trick pony.
-
I know we're at the mercy of the SURVIVOR footage edits, but things are not looking good for Russell right now. Rob seems to have his number and with Sandra more than willing to rat Russell out, this could be it, kids.
-
The thing about Russell is on his own season he played an odd mix of the best and worst gameplay ever. He did some amazing things that no one has matched before him. However, he made a bunch of really dumb things that would have sunk any player. You put him in an all-star season and his mistakes will be magnified.
-
He was great at finding idols and being smart enough to play them. He's good at spotting potential trouble in other players and getting others to see his point of view. He even knows when to back off and not play too hard. However, his strategy of making his tribe miserable before the merge, when they need to be strong in order to win challenges and avoid tribal council, is really stupid. Last season, after merging with a 2-1 disadvantage, the only thing that saved him was the overconfidence and supreme stupidity of the other tribe. He will not have that luxury this time around.
-
He better have that idol or else it's game over for him next time the villains hit tribal council. He's a dipshit, that's the problem. Boston Rob is in complete control and the only one of them that's actually thinking clearly and not in the grip of paranoid, narcissistic self-delusion (i.e. Russell and Coach).
-
Was he couldn't keep his mouth shut. Whether it was about him having the hidden idol(s), being an oilman. He also pitched the same story to multiple people verbatim. I was amazed at how good he was while at the same time being so bad at it.
-
She was one of the best villians ever to play the game....
-
and put Cirie on the villians team... it'd have been a much different game.
-
Don't forget that once Russle is cornered, he manages to get rid of the threat each time. Looks like Rob is the first to call him out. I don't expect Russle to go out without a fight. You guys are so quick to give up on the man just bexause he isn't dominating the game so far. I'm willing to bet that Rob goes before Russle.
-
Well, I mean, I definitely COULD stand fucking Amanda, but I can't stand her. She screwed James over once and now, in the latest ad, one that fucking spoils tonight's episode by the way, she's all like "If James doesn't come back *sniff* WHAT AM I GONNA DO??? WAAAAAAHHH!!!". Shut up you inconsiderate self centered bitch, your "friend" could be hurt, seriously hurt for all we know, and all you care about is him staying in the game so you can backstab him again? Jesus Christ.
-
Its a shame, but based on how he acted at last seasons finale, its pretty obvious he doesnt go very far this season. He's the type of character you love to hate, whereas Rob is the type you just hate. If he does go this week, I might pass on the next few episodes. I can't stand most of the cast this year. Too much whining.
-
Remember Russell told his tribe last season that he was in Hurricane Katrina and he lost his dog. What a liar. All dog owners need to beat on his sorry ass for that story. He'll never get any jury votes and always feel cheated. Karma makes him, her beyotch.
-
after a few episodes when I realized Russell would make it to the end. I just couldn't believe how dumb everyone else was, it was painful to watch.
This season has been just great, Russell is so pathetic that I actually hope he sticks around longer. -
nice try though
-
"I Can't Stand Fucking Amanda" Your title line made me smile and think: If you can't stand fucking Amanda, then you better sit or lay down while you are fucking Amanda. Here's hoping you have a good sense of humor.
-
I do.
-
Just fyi one of the extra scenes on nbc.com shows that Russell did first wait till everyone was asleep and then look for the idol at night, but it was too dark for him to find anything. So he had to take his best chance during the day. Not that that makes his timing choice any less stupid.
-
coming into a Survivor thread and calling Survivor fans idiots is a good way to get banned. knock it off. now.
-
But this one is really keeping me interested. I'm not sure if my interest will continue after Russell is booted as that's my main hope. I just don't think he's nearly as good at this game as he seems to.
-
Russell is back!
-
should challenge James to a race!
-
Offering the idol to coach was pretty smart. But if Rob's side is smart they'll vote off Russell's allies first and hope he uses his idol for nothing.
-
Or what she said in the commercial was at the tailend of that confessional and they cut it. While watching, I thought "ok, maybe she says that when everyone starts talking about voting him out", but nope.
-
That would be kind of funny. All of a sudden I'm starting to get tired of Russell's trash talk. My money's on Rob now.
Why didn't Tom look for the idol again? I assume it has been re-hidden. -
He may not win, but he will take Rob down first.
-
He may not win, but he will take Rob down first.
-
nuff said
-
They are so pathetic at challenges--and arguably weaker both mentally and physically now.
-
Did you not see the pillow fight challenge? Which was THE BEST CHALLENGE EVER...that is, until they did the oil slip and slide challenge a week later. Heroes kicked ass at that.
-
But yeah, they weren't pathetic in the pillow fight.
-
Not to pick a fight or anything, Herc, but I'm curious--why ban Whittiest? I've seen people say things here that are a LOT worse than "idiots." On a daily basis, in fact. Why would that warrant banning? Why not the countless others on AICN's boards who constantly berate, insult and curse at you, and at each other? Why is "idiots" considered a banning offense, when none of that is? With all due respect, it seems kind of arbitrary.
-
...and really, I don't care who survives as long as I get to watch Amanda in her underwear for another week. That said, the inevitable Rob vs. Russell showdown is going to be great. The 'heroes' have basically given up, circled their wagons around their alliance, and hope for better luck after the merge.
-
right? Early merge? Asking if anyone wants to switch tribes?
-
With Coach in Russell's corner, that will bring Jerri over. Sandra will go wherever the power is so likely Rob is gone next week. If not, he will play the bonehead move of trying to flush out the idol and wind up getting voted out himself. Either way, Rob is gone.
-
It is fucking great. It's the reason the circle-jerkers don't pick one of his threads to top out the numbers with.
-
They made me shit myself a little a few weeks ago when they mentioned her name for elimination, but she should be good to go until WELL past the elimination. She just sits back and watches Rob and Russell destroy each other and their allies.

The more dirty she gets, the more stringy her hair gets, the more I recognize her. Kinda weird. Anybody surprised by James this season? I remember him being tough, but kinda chill. This season he's tough, but kind of an ass hole. I didn't post last week, so I'll take this opportunity to reiterate that Coach is the douche of the world. Really, REALLY looking forward to the Russell/Boston Rob showdown next week. Because this season, while good, hasn't completely rocked my world yet.
-
....keeps half his threads locked and creates threads for some pretty suspect series. Nyaaa! :P I still dig coax, though. Where's the Spartacus threads, dude? Did you give up on that one?
-
Like Rob keeps saying, they didn't have them when he played. There's a ton of ways the idol could be used, and Rob seems pretty clueless to all of them. I actually think there's more strategy in Survivor now than there was in the early years. The social popularity contest still matters, but now everybody has 19 seasons (or so) of strategy to copy. Makes the game totally different.
-
Not much else to say about that.
-
...on the West Coast who watched this show?
-
B-Rob use to be the man. Fav moment of Survivor (until Russell showed up) was when he gave Lex the ole bait and switch, but Rob just doesn't compare to Russell and needs to be voted out immediately to get the message. See ya Rob and thanks for breaking down like a bitch on day 3.

This is only my second season watching this show (after being hooked like a crack addict to last season thanks to the awesomeness, win or lose, that is Russell Hantz!) and I'm starting to consider watching all the other seasons now just to get all the back story on the current players! Having not experienced Boston Rob till this season, I do kinda like the guy...he's gutsy and he can certainly lead when it comes to challenges. But, I have to stick with Russell *knocks on wood* when it comes to the two of them. I hope Coach sticks to his word of loyalty to Russell, but I'm taking that with a grain of salt at the moment. I don't have much of an opinion (yet) on the other Villains because they seem to (so far) be non-players. As for the "Heroes" team? I think they made a HUGE mistake by voting Tom off this week. JT should have bitten the bullet and stuck with Tom and Colby to get rid of James, but then it didn't matter because even Candace voted for Tom in the end when she was all about taking out the gimp...I mean James...as well. And I'm sorry, but I'd have voted James out not for his injury but for his attitude. He really is a complete asshole it seems. He bitched about the team not following "one voice" a few challenges ago, and then tonight when that "one voice" was literally HIS, he didn't follow through and they lost! Plus, he can say that his knee doesn't hurt all that he wants, but the fact remains that he can't even walk (comfortably) on it! How is that not an issue for upcoming challenges!? Going back to the Villains, I think Russell should try to get Tyson on his side as well. Tyson's been very quiet so far, other than telling Coach to basically man-up and quite crying...and we all know, ya gotta watch out for the quiet ones!
-
I'm pretty sure he's going to be a turncoat and work with Boston Rob to vote Russell out next week. I'm HOPING that doesn't happen, but my gut says it is. James is being an asshole, but he didn't used to that way. At least I don't remember him that way. Not at all. Maaan, I would love to watch 18 seasons in a row for the first time. lol Been an addict from season one. It's the show I've currently been watching longest in prime time.
-
secured the crazy wacko's loyalty. It's the kind of thing that would lock him in place for good.
-
I am not a big fan of Russell. Too pompous for me...
But, he is absolutely right in going after the Immunity Idol...
If you have it, it is a BIG Psychological advantage. It helps to attract followers to your group...
Rob, Sandra have it wrong on this count... -
He'll flip.
-
A little bit of the old 'last season' Russell was back this week, and I loved it. His plan probably won't work unfortunately as Coach will most likely crawl back to Rob, but I still can't wait to see what happens next week. Favorite Survivor ever.
-
Let's make it happen, people. I'll start the facebook group.
-
Now this is what I'm talking about, Russ. Get your immunity idols, work your magic on that slef-important dimwit Coach and take out Bawlston Rob. It may not work, but it sure is fun to watch you try.
-
This edit feature ROCKS, I tells ya!
-
Voting out Tom, what the hell are you thinking?
Oh, right, they don't think.
I'm going to laugh my ass off when they merge and the 'heroes' get picked off one by one.
-
a sure-fire ratings colossus. challenge rewards could be free hip replacements, top-of-the line oxygen tanks, lifetime supply of depends......
-
The "We'll Vote Off Whoever Looks For The Idol" was fucking stupid. So sit around for 2 days and let Russel dig for it? The other tribe saw everyone do a mad dash to look for the Idol.
-
They should be controlling the game. They should have been the tribe who works well together as opposed to the Villains who are basically a bunch of solely self-interested players. The Heroes did work better together when it came to making a comfortable camp life. Then there's the Villains who had to rebuild their shelter 3 or 4 times.However, the Heroes lost the first immunity challenge and right away the alliances formed. Sure, they finally agreed as a group to vote out Sugar but the seeds of separate sects were sown that day. The tribe made the smart move of voting out the "weakest" player instead of voting according to alliances or post-merge strategy. But the damage was done. What was for the first few days a highly functioning and cohesive group became a disjointed tribe made up of a collection of factions. On the other side, Russell once again tried, for some reason, by hiding the machete, to demoralize and weaken his tribe. It may have worked had they not won that fancy tool kit a few days later (they did end up going to tribal council that day, or the day after he hid it). Coach will follow whoever strokes his ego and swears their loyalty, regardless of how disingenuous they may be. Coach may live by the rule that he will never lie, but he doesn't seem to appreciated that not everyone plays the same way. Russell has no intention of giving him the idol, but if he can make Coach think that, Coach will be impressed by his "loyalty" and "integrity" and "honour" as much as he's impressed by Robb's "warrior spirit". He'll flip back and forth depending on who is playing him at that particular moment. In other words, I think whoever is the last person to talk to Coach before the vote is the person who gets his vote.
-
JT was smart to take out Tom...he sees "leadership" of this tribe on the horizon. If James is healthy, I think he sticks with Tom & Colby, but now with Tom out of the way he gets favour with those he screwed the week before. If James' knee is as serious a problem as it appears, he'll eventually be cut if they lose another immunity challenge. Colby has proven out of touch and useless, leaving JT as the alpha male.
I was a big fan of JT's and absolutely thought he deserved his win, and to me he's proving to be the MVP so far this season. To have Cirie and Tom as notches on your belt is a big ticket in Survivor-land.
Similar to Russell last season, JT went into a merge outnumbered and instead of Stephen and him being picked off, they found the holes on the bigger tribe and eventually took advantage of Coach's nature to secure themselves. Russell worked a lot harder and relied on idols to stay alive last season, but JT could be positioning himself quite nicely come merge time as both men did before when they played.
Tyson has quietly impressed me too. Good to see he's learned from his past experience, and he's not pissing people off acting like a kid on spring break. If Coach falls for Russell's charms (and I fully expect him to), there could be a good crew forming if Coach brings Tyson and Russ has Danielle and Parv.
Good to hear from Big Jim, Jaka, and Shermdawg again this season! Good thoughts guys! -
Oil on my girl Amanda? Ok, that's just the greatest. God bless HD. Too bad Steph wasn't still around too, but we've got the Glamazon in her underwear, and braless on those cold island mornings. There is a god.
-
Check out the current Caprica thread, and you'll see what I mean. People constantly call each other fucktards and other ridiculous insults, and no one says anything about that. So why would you threaten to ban someone for calling others "idiots?" It's kind of like shooting person A for stealing your wallet, and then doing nothing when person B steals your car.
-
It's OK to be insulting as long as it's just a difference of opinion. However, Hercules has been clear that he won't tolerate those who repeatedly post negative comments without adding to the conversation at hand. It's one thing if two people disagree and things get heated; it's another when someone posts inflammatory and insulting comments right off the bat, with no provocation other than, I assume, the thread simply existing.
-
Whittiest didn't come in here to discuss why he did not like the show. He simply came in started bashing anyone and everyone who watches this show. He was obviously looking for a fight for no reason other than being a troll. I would more than gladly debate whether or not this show is worth watching, but I have no time for jerk offs who are just trying to get a rise out of us.
-
Dollhouse thread...
I think the medium is the message in this case.
Wiki Alert!Extensions of Man, published in 1964.[1] McLuhan proposes that media itself, not the content it carries, should be the focus of study. He said that a medium affects the society in which it plays a role not only by the content delivered over the medium, but also by the characteristics of the medium itself.
Herc repects the medium. -
because Herc posted that pic of himself in his Dollhouse T-shirt & boxer shorts.
-
is that Amanda was positively made for fucking.
-
Vote off Sugar, a nice girl who would never vote you out, like ever? Ally with the old guy that everbody hates? I just never was a big fan of Colby. Russel on the other hand is full of surprises. It looks like he is forming the knights of the round table or something.
-
Beginning to think he might be gay. In his first season, he rejected Jerri's amorous advances. Now in this season, he got annoyed when sweet Sugar tried to get cozy
with him. Wut up wit dat? Or maybe he's just a bit dense. Look at the way he tried to boss Jeff around by refusing the chocolate. First he says he wants to get on with the challenge, then he decides to sit out. I loved the way Probst smacked him down cold. -
Yeah Colby sitting out of the challenge was a pussy move, and I don't understand why he couldn't go in after James got injured... seemed a little fishy...
And Candace voting Tom off when she was canvassing for James to go... bit of a sheeplike move there m'dear... -
Probst doesn't take crap from anybody. Seems he hates being upstaged. I too don't get why they didn't eat the chocolate. Did they think it would make them weak? It's free food you fools!
-
I didn't get that reward. Eat non-stop sugar? No thanks. That'll make you sick. A real healthy meal would have meant so much more. That chocolate reward can easily do more harm than good.
-
That Tom is a hunky older man. I agree that Colby seems gay.
-
anyone who was within 20 feet of Amanda after the hot oil slip and slide that didn't immediately jump her like the pawn on the queen in History of the World's human chess scene is probably gay. I thought it was also rather well established that he was a moron, considering he took Tina to the final two instead of the uber-hated Keith in Season 2; the first truly stupid final move in Survivor history.

Agreed with the grossness of the chocolate reward.
by liesandpicturesofalsolies
Maybe a slice of chocolate cake served with a nice meal. The ladies got into it, though.
Also, Rupert slamming Jerri's head in the post? Awesome and brutal. She was right to throw his apology in his face. -
This series. And for someone with a superhero physique he get's injured too much. He's doing too many weights not enough sprints.
