OMG, I wished Tyson no specific harm, but it was absolutely delicious how he sealed his own fate. I laughed and laughed. That was probably the one bit of genuinely awesome gameplay that Russell did in both Samoa and so far here. (is there anything strategically awesome he did in Samoa? Other than telling us how awesome he was, finding hidden immunity idols, and having Natalie as a sidekick?)

I loved Russell the first time and I've hated home this time but that was amazing gameplay. You know it was not an accdent that he suggested Tyson vote for Parvati. And now, I'd say she is totally riding his coattails.

I should go look for Jeff's blog to get his thoughts.

Every time I hear that song, I just wanna be Fergie running around some California craftsman in my undies making out with Peter Petrelli.

You are not alone.

You are not alone.

My sistah!

I still cannot believe that Tyson was that stupid. There was absolutely no way he could've lost in Rob's 3-3-3 split plan but every possibility that what actually wound up happening could happen if he put his trust in Russell. In Russell! Why would one ever trust him? Rob and Sandra's faces were priceless. I didn't see Russell's season, and he's not been a favorite of mine on All Stars, but props for him for figuring out that Tyson was stupid enough to be turned. He also now knows that despite the "knighting" of coach, he didn't turn him. It will be interesting to see if the whole loyalty speech has any impact. I thought that part was particularly diabolical and an effective way to continue to try to peel Coach away from Rob's pack.

I think in the Russell's original season, he was a little bit nicer and more charitable in his comments - at least until the end. He called several people stupid, but not from the beginning. Plus, he was pretty amazing at how he found those idols. Basically, everyone disliked him but they couldn't get rid of him. I personally would have voted for him to win and I do think it really burned him that everyone voted for that blond girl whose name I can't remember because they just disliked him, I think.

Yes, Rob and Sandra's face were priceless, especially Rob. Jeff said in his blog that Rob and Russell would be amazing if they ever teamed up. I think that's true but I don't see it ever happening because they both despise the other so much. But it makes great TV.

He called several people stupid, but not from the beginning.

? He was talking about 'stupid little girls' from the first episode.

I still don't get why anyone keeps Courtney around. She's such a useless little bag of bones. And sour--the snide comments during the challenge were so not on.

Brenda, good point. I think I actually missed the first few episodes. I guess I can't put my finger on why I liked him - maybe I agreed with him, although I have to say that his later comments seemed fairly mysoginistic, so there's that.

Yeah, like brenda said - in the very first episode he was bragging to the camera about his "dumb girl alliance." He was a cocky little asshole from day 1.

I find him to be a tool, but, Lord, he played well last night.
