I'm happy about the result of Survivor. I think it bodes well for future editions of the game.
Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own
This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television (So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef: Masters, Project Runway), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Expedition Africa, Mythbusters), et al. [NAFDA]
Oh right, Survivor!!
We had guests over who don't watch the show last night so it's still sitting on the Tivo. Looking forward to that tonight.
I know Russell was trying to play Like Richard hatch, but Hatch was fairly pleasant to his castmates an kept most of his machinations for the confessionals. I think Russell was too contemptuous of the other players, and that truly isn't good gameplay.
Scrappy, I thought that you meant Russell from SYTYCD, and I was all "no! he's a sweetheart!" until I realized that you were talking about Survivor.
Hee, Vortex!
I know! That happened to me earlier in this thread. Hee.
There were way too many Russells on reality tv this fall.
I sat next to one of them on a plane!
That was this summer though.

Really? Why? How is this not the same old coattail effect we've seen time and time again, with the person who does all the heavy lifting getting shafted because they have no "integrity"?
we have to question: did he do "all the heavy lifting?" Apparently Russell was getting on everyone's nerves out there. His biggest accomplishments were talking to various people individually who knew he was lying to them.
Russell's biggest strategic move was convincing John to vote with them, but aside from that, I'm not sure I buy that he did all the heavy lifting. Natalie's social game got Erik out and contributed to the jury liking her.
