Survivor: Samoa

[ASTalumna06]

I found myself so mad at Russell at the beginning of the season, but now I can't help but laugh along with him. "Well, I made a mistake, and since my mistake was telling John I have the immunity idol, he has to be the one to go." He kills me.

I think a good strategy for the Foa Foa members would be to get one of the Galu members on their side. And at this point, I think Dave would be their best bet. Russell essentially saved him from elimination tonight, and it was proved at tribal council that Russell actually kept his word when it came to that deal. Dave would probably be the most trusting, and I don't think he really has any close ties to Monica or Brett.

The problem now is that Shambo could be a wild card. I really think Foa Foa should have told her what was going on. She was so against Dave that there probably wasn't any way that she'd switch to working with him again, no matter what Foa Foa planned to do. And they'd still have all of the votes for John either way.

And scheming against Russell now (as the previews for next week seem to suggest will happen) might not be the best idea on Mick and Jaison's part. They need Russell to help them eliminate at least one more member of Galu before they go about executing something like that. Otherwise, they could again find themselves behind in the numbers game.

Maybe they should attempt to vote out Shambo next week?
