I agree completely agree with the general sentiment behind michel's argument. Colton is a spoiled brat who once put into a position of power thought it was funny and smart to call people names and bully them. I don't see him as mean-spirited or even necessarily aware that what he is saying is cruel.Obviously, he assumes he is better than most people.
I'm not sure Russell is mean-spirited either. He is more just sociopathic, completely unconcerned with the welfare or feelings of others.
On the other hand, Russell and Colton obviously have some charm to them. Virtually everyone who has been aligned with them don't see them as bad people, and both had no problems quickly making alliances.
I think the edit strove to make Colton the big villain while Russell strove himself to BE the big villain.
I will say this though in contradiction to michel. Mike Borassi was never in any danger of dehydration. The crew could have given him water whenever he needed it, and would have. Russell was aware of this too.
I would count far worse Cindy North choosing a truck for herself over all her tribemates getting one and Dreamz ripping Yaoman of a truck as far more vile acts.
