Oh God...I had to check him out, then to my horror I saw that he's a Pepperdine graduate. Way to use that degree, buddy!

ETA: What the...there's another Pepp grad on this season, too - Brett.

Fixed it for you. But WTF? How do you get a double degree from a school like Pepperdine, and then become a bartender? I hope to God that he isn't Greek.

He was apparently there the same time I was, but he would've been a freshman whereas I was a senior. So I don't recognize him.

Have any of you guys watched the "Tribal Council Orientation Video"?
http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivo...2JBh2YY7mw4p_I

It's definitely a nod to LOST's Dharma orientation videos, but at one point, Jeff Probst starts to talk about a "secret bypass" loophole, which is then "cut" by CBS.

What do you think? Is it BS, or is it yet another 'twist' from CBS in order to try to keep the show 'fresh'?

So who watched tonight?

Yes, I get it that Russell is in there to make for good television, but if he honestly thinks that he can approach the women one by one, and then assume that the women won't talk to each other and figure him what kind of tomfoolery that he is up to, then he doesn't know much about women.

Exactly. It'd be one thing if he made an "alliance" with just a couple of the girls. Even the two seemingly naive ones. But Marissa obviously caught on quick (although she was still stupid to have said something to him), and so did the older woman (I forget her name).

They're probably going to keep Russell around for a little while because he's strong and can help win challenges. But his strategy for winning the game clearly isn't going to get him into the final three... or anywhere close to it.

ETA: And the bartending dude is obnoxious.
