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.
The villains haven't had to vote many people off, plus there's lots of reasons to keep Courtney around. She won't win individual immunity (unless it's sitting on a log) nor will she win $1m. Tyson/Rob/Russell/Parv? Much more dangerous.
Yeah, Courtney is the perfect cannon fodder to keep around, especially until the merge. A reliable vote whose totally expendable once things start getting serious.
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 think he got very lucky. What if Tyson had been on the Parvati side of the vote in the original 3-3 split? (Though it's possible, even likely, that he talked to at least one other person and told them the same thing, but only Tyson was dumb enough to buy into it.)
I want Boston Rob to KICK HIS ASS.
I love that they got to design their own prints!
