"Survivor 22: Russell Hantz vs Rob Mariano! " |
LAST EDITED ON 07-22-10 AT 03:26 PM (EST)Sorry to deliver such bad news. Don't see how it will play out, either. His FACEBOOK message (or whatever) tells ALL. He's baaaaaaaccccckkkkk. He will board his plane next week. Russell Hantz: There are a lot of rumors out there circulating, I am letting everyone know that I am efficially retiring from the game of Survivor. I'm not saying I will never do reality tv, I already proved my point that I'm the best survivor. I'm sorry if this disappoints anyone, but I think its for the best for me and my family to move on. Thank you for your support and God Bless.

Honestly, I kinda expected this to happen after the HvV reunion show. I didn't think they'd do it though because it's just a really, really bad idea.

Unless Jeff's been scurrying around like a panicked mouse as MB puts him through the joy of filming simul-seasons, the earliest S22 could have realistically started shooting is -- today. Given that, having credible spoiler information about a boot order isn't impossible -- it's just really, really unlikely. Take out the 'And he gets bonus mileage for his hat!' option, and there's still two ways to have a duration spoiler before the season begins. 1. You know something about what production's planning. It wouldn't surprise me if the boomerangs each got Immunity at their tribe's first Council, although anything beyond that would be an eyebrow-lifter. 2. You got a look at the script.

As far as the other names tossed around I can only say what I heard. Coach is filming a movie there and Hatch has some serious issues with a passport. Sol: I thought you might be interested in this http://survivorsucks.yuku.com/reply/6285556#reply-6285556Russ and Robb can't be "playas" for obvious reasons. Missy Confirmation: Mentors and Coaches.

Considering that S21 Nicaragua just had their final TC yesterday (according to TDT's calendar), they wouldn't have started filming for S22 yet since they haven't managed to clone Jiffy or the camera crew yet.If Missy said this, I'd say he got intel from Russhole or somebody close within the production crew that both he and Rawb got an assurance that neither one would be the first boot through some kind of a twist.

We all know damn well how it SHOULD play out if there's any logic to it. If they really do this, Boston Rob should eat RussHell for breakfast, lunch AND dinner. RussHell thinks he's hot stuff, but those of us who have watched this game for the last 10 years know he ain't squat compared to Mariano.

The smart players would keep Russhole around and boot Mariano early a la HvH -- Mariano is too dangerous to keep around while everyone knows that Russhole is easy to beat with a jury.Just outlasting Mariano on the show wouldn't mean that he is a better player than Mariano.

Except that smart players also know that RussHell has a habit of getting smart players booted. RussHell has shown that he is really annoying to keep around camp, doesn't contribute to camp life, and is not useful in challenges. I think if I were to play with RussHell, knowing what I know, I would try to get him booted early.

In addition, he is a master manipulator. I wouldn't want to take the chance that he would arrange to boot my alliance mates. He's too aware of what is going on around camp and who is dangerous to him.Rob I'd keep until the merge because he is such a strong competitor. He's the perfect merge boot!

Oh I think I'd want to keep Russhole around more than Rawb if I was there in the game. All I'd have to do is to stroke (sorry for the mental image) his ego and be completely on his side in public with an alliance on the side with whoever Russhole wants to keep on his side.The trouble with Rob being a perfect merge boot is that he's difficult to beat in challenges! If Tyson hadn't screwed up in HvH, I think Rob would have won all except maybe one or two of the remaining ICs after the merge.

Being in an alliance with RussHole can taint the jury’s perception of you, though. Part of why Sandra won was that she made it clear all along that she hated RussHole, while Parvati was viewed as having been somewhat in cahoots with him. Getting into an alliance with Boston Rob is a not-bad idea, since he’s a strong physical player and a good strategist, but can also seriously alienate people, as witnessed during the endgame of the first AllStars. All things considered, I'd want RussHole gone ASAP.

The smart playersCasting must have had fun with this season. 'We need people who've never heard of our series, our host, any of the players, have no idea what strategy is, refused to read the rulebook, and are basically only out there to get a tan. And not only is Rachel already on another show, but Sean refused to come back.'

So now all MB needs is a look-alike who can report to RussHell's job, pick up his kids, and sleep with his spouse -- all three of which are more than RussHell's bothered to do for at least seventy-eight days. Isn't it lucky, having his sister already in place? A little makeup, a little tutoring, a lot of ego... Of course, none of that would qualify on the same level of proof as maintaining an account on Facebook. Why, if RussHell was Twittering at the same time, he'd have to be twins!Tune in tomorrow. I'm going to prove Descartes false via his lack of Email address. The negative reactions are encouraging. Production not seeing them coming -- not quite as much.

bump please continue to discuss whether this is an abominable notion of a season, whether pageant queens who oppose gay marriage sound like good contestants for Survivior, and how many times CBS could feasibly force us to watch Russell again on this topic.Put any game spoilers in my S22 source topic, for now. Maybe someone wants to start a topic with photos and info of the contestants?

25. "I'll bite" |
My problem with this is not that Prejean opposes gay marriage per se--yes I find people who oppose gay marriage to be narrowminded, but the fact is a lot of the Survivor contestants *might* oppose gay marriage -- supporting gay marriage isn't a qualification to be on the show. A person's position on gay marriage should not even come up in connection with Survivor, because, let's face it -- the opinion (narrowminded or not) of a person who is not an elected official and $5 can get him/her a cup of coffee at the Four Seasons. My problem is this is STUNT casting at its worse. The only reason she is on this show is because of the controversy surrounding her gay marriage comment and MB is exploiting it in an effort to increase ratings. That is disgusting, imo. He is basically promoting her, and, in effect, endorsing her. Of course, she agreed to be on the show, so she shares responsibility. But it is MB who makes the call and I find it extremely distasteful. SO much so, that I seriously doubt I'll watch this dreck. Fine, she is entitled to her opinion, but I am entitled to mine too, and I'm not going to support her by watching her. That is how I'm going to show my distate -- by not watching her or a show that is promoting/endorsing her. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have watched the show because of my opinion of Russell (see below), but with Prejean being on, I have the added bonus of not watching it "in protest." As for Russell, the whole love affair with Russell by CBS/MB needs to stop. The man lost, twice, and they & he need to get over themselves. Furthermore, he did it by being an abusive, sexist pig both times. By casting him, yet again, MB is "promoting" (and "endorsing") Russell's abusive sexist manner the same way he is promoting Prejean's anti-gay marriage opinions, and it is just as disgusting to me. Does MB really expect me to sit through another season of Russell bashing every female on the show and telling me how much better he is because he's a man? Because I'm not. I hope S22 has the worst ratings ever so MB can stop this stunt casting and the show can go back to casting people who want to play the game not extend their 15 minutes of fame. I'll do my part to make sure that happens by changing the channel.

hear hear! I have nothing to add, that was so well put.well, let me just add that when I asked the question you answered I was just grabbing something off the top of my head, not posting a well considered question. I don't particularly feel that people need to "qualify" to play. However, you took my flip and casual question and turned it into a thoughtful analysis of the situation. Stunt casting is a problem. I'm not a Nielson family, so the sound of me switching channels goes unheard, not sure how best to register disgust.

This could be out of context, as I have not had time to read the boards, or watch the episodes, for that matter. But I caught this post, and wondered if you thought it possible MB uses Russ's behavior as a sort of "what NOT to do" lesson? The definition of insanity, afterall, is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result (Russ doesn't learn the lesson) - I think it more likely MB is laughing at Russ while on his way to the bank. This may account for casting a person who has strong, and less than liberal opinions, and is not afraid to voice them - a controversial figure, if you will. She (Prejean?) will likely be portrayed as a goat by editing. We, the cattle - viewers, that is, need someplace to vent our spleens.

I may be the only Russell Hantz luvver around here.I like how he stirs the pot. I like how he makes everyone scramble and strategize harder than they would have. I hate it when the Survivors are lazy with their strategies. I love watching his stupid antics. I love the feeling of outrage when someone underestimates him and ends up getting voted out. The two seasons he was in Survivor were pretty exciting, which was refreshing after several boring seasons. As long as he doesn't win, I'm happy. Okay, now you can all heap some abuse on me for stating my Russell love. I got sliced!
