Survivor: Redemption Island

MysticCat · #1 01-12-2011, 05:35 PM

The cast -- minus two -- is announced.

The internet rumor is and has been that the two unannounced castaways are Boston Rob and Russell Hantz, who will lead the two tribes.

Am I the only person getting sick of Boston Rob?

These two are good reasons to not watch. Sick of them both. They are great players only in their own minds.

I'd say I'm tired of him. But I really don't want another season of Russell.

I'm sure I'll watch anyway.

I guess I don't see how Russell can be effective anymore, now that anyone who has ever watched Survivor is familiar with his game. Besides, if it really is him and BR, his raison d'être will be to get rid of BR, which will probably hinder his gameplay.

Sidenote: I wonder if Russell paid off the producers to give him another shot? If he ends up in the finals again, I believe he does deserve the win, because making it to the finals AFTER everyone already knows that he's a liar who will do anything to get ahead is a whole 'nother matter than what he pulled off twice in a row last time.

So you'll be upset if I make it on Survivor?

The rumor on the web has been that he and BR will be tribe captains and will have immunity until the merge. CBS has confirmed that the two "unannounced" castaways will be on different tribes.

The Redemption Island idea I like. BR and Russell again, not so much.

Per their Facebook feed - it's official: BR and Russell.

Wiki's already got a winner listed, but they've also got BR and Coach listed as the former contestants, so take. that as you will.

Also, I take back what I said about Russell winning - it's not a W if he gets a free ride halfway there. Why would they do that? It doesn't even make sense. It would only make sense if they were there just to "captain" and not eligible to win (or they "win" if someone from their tribe wins).

Thankfully, this part of the rumor was untrue. Here's hoping for an early exit for both of them.

This will be his 4th Survivor...it's getting a little ridiculous now. Maybe it's his "reprieve" to get away from the wife (i.e. Amber) and child.

Yup, I said it

There was actually another Rob who was very good on Survivor...I think he was in the season that Jenna Morasca won. Rob Cesternino (thanks Wikipedia!)

Wasn't that Boston Rob's first season, hence why the "Boston" and not just Rob, or is my brain making that up?

I actually kind of like Boston Rob - at least he seems to have grown up a little and not take himself so seriously. I still use his line about "crybabyitis" on occasion.

Russell is just demented. Can't stand him.

SydneyK · #13 02-16-2011, 02:09 PM

Bumping to remind everyone that Survivor starts tonight!

MysticCat · #14 02-16-2011, 02:20 PM

Yay!!!

Late to the party, but Rob Cesternino was on Survivor-Amazon w/ Jenna Morasca (ZTA!), Boston Rob was on Marquesas with Kathy.

I agree with you- I'm fine with BR and his style of game play. Russell not so much. I really don't like that he went back to back so the all stars weren't able to see his game play. That's a huge disadvantage for all of them, and a huge advantage for him. Even if they had an inkling or semblence of forewarning, they didn't see it all go down.
