It is interesting to know that Russell is married and has children - I was wondering about that. And I thought everyone knew that Mick was some sort of doctor??

I completely agree. Granted, Russell is playing the game to a degree that no contestant has probably ever played it before, but everyone else is just... there. Where has the strategizing been? Even with Foa Foa voting off three Galu members in a row, how much have we seen Mick, Jaison or Natalie talking in the past few weeks? Not much, if at all.
I was actually surprised that they showed Brett talking in the re-cap show because... I never see him otherwise. Even with the numbers down to where they are now, I still feel like there are people that haven't even really been presented to us... which is probably because they're boring. Even Brett admitted that, saying something about laying low after they vote Erik out and following along in the background until something exciting happens.
He didn't even TRY to save his friend!
If I didn't hate Laura before, I do after watching this re-cap. Even when Shambo was clearly upset about her sister dying, Laura didn't even seem to care, and talked about how she wanted the sun to come out. Really? I understand you're not best friends, but have a LITTLE compassion.
I also thought that everyone knew that Mick is a doctor. But then again, how much have people really talked about their professions this season? Personally, I think Russell made another move that could bite him in the ass later on by telling Mick about his financial situation. Cuddling with the girls to keep them warm at night, and in turn, gaining their trust: smart. Telling someone something about yourself that they could use later in the game to keep you from winning: dumb. Russell said that if anyone crosses him, they're going to get voted out. But what if him and Mick are pleading their cases when they're in the final three, and Mick pulls the "Russell is rich" card?
I know I wrote a novel, but I'll end it by saying that I loved Shambo's discussion with Monica. "It isn't real. It isn't fake. It's Survivor." How true that is.
