Survivor: Samoa

Me too. I hated Russel, but now I'm on the Russel train.

That tribal council last night was awesome!!!! Shambo played it perfectly, turning to Laura in SHOCK (hee) when Russel pulled out the idol, then nodding her head in agreement when Laura spoke under her breath about Russel. Alls the better if Galu thinks they've got Shambo's vote next week. Numbers could factor in if they still think it's 6-4.

Also, with Russel having found the idol twice without clues, even if he doesn't find it next week, he could imply that he did, and unless it was already found by others, he might be able to pull that off!!

Funny previews, Galuians running around trying to tail Russel! HA! Can't wait!

this is turning into a darn good season!!

I was really impressed with that, and her vote against Russell. To date they haven't shown her to be the brightest bulb, but apparently she (he? they?) figured out that Galu needs to think she's fully committed to her old tribe. She played off seeing the votes really well, especially to Laura's comment- that was priceless! And I assumed that her vote against Russell was in case Jeff showed all votes, so the tribe wouldn't say "wait a minute, one of us voted for Kelly- who was it?" and start a witch hunt. Although I get their rationale (must hurt Laura!), I would've liked to see them vote off the guy who's name I don't know who acts as pseudo-leader.

I wasn't enjoying the beginning of the season at all. I STILL don't know most of the players- when they started talking about Kelly I really didn't know who they meant. The combination of Foa Foa being so devastated, crappy rainy weather shriveling hands & feet, and All-Russell-All-The-Time was really getting to me. But last night's episode started to win me back. You don't have to shove someone in my face for me to know he's the villain, producers! He does make some ingenious moves, although he also makes some dumb ones (like the "secret alliances" with everyone and showing everyone the first idol).
