    BarbAnne, that would have been Coach!

    As for Russell, you say "I wonder how much of what he is saying is truth or not"

    I am sure there is no truth to anything he says!!!!!!

    LOL  Now all I will think of when I see "evil" Russell is an old porn star.  I am waiting to see how good of a liar he is.  He tells so many details, surely he will mess up somewhere?

    Coach-yes Thank you goldie0827! I still can't buy the Amazon thing.

    I agree nothing that man says is probably the truth, that's why I am having trouble buying the "owner of an oil company/I am a millionaire" bit he was selling.

    LOL old porn star-that's hysterical.

    He will mess up some how, the fun will be waiting.

    Did I miss it or is there no exile islands this season? Maybe it is just too early in the game.

    Barb, Junie posted this on the previous page: no exile island and each tribes' hidden immunity idle will be hidden at the opposing team's camp.

    I don't think Russell has told anyone he is a millionaire, or owns an oil company. But it does show that on his profile, per se, when they show all the players.

    The millionaire thing came right after he dumped the canteens, or there abouts. He said something to the effect of "I own my own company. I'm a millionaire I don't need this, I just want to win to show em how its done." Something like that.

    My husband and I just looked at each other like oh jeez-can that be right.

    Thanks for the heads up on Junie's post I went back and looked through the posts more carefully.

    Thanks again

    Count me in, We LOVE SURVIVOR, my hubby and I watch all of them.  I think Russel is a jerk, hope they wake up soon.  I did not like Coach last season but he stayed on awhile.  Great scenery aren't these islands beutiful? Looking forward to teh next episode, thanks for the heads up on exile just figured they did not do it on the first one!!!

    I think it's great when someone like coach and this Russell stay on until almost the end.  They think they are going to win but they just end up having to suffer longer than the others.  Does anyone know if the ones voted off (and are on the jury) stay together or are they separated?

    Pink--I may be wrong or have my "shows" mixed up-----[could be the amazing Race (my second fav)] but on one of the shows, those voted off go to a resort where they have a good ole time until the end of the show....hmmmm...can anyone jump in on this?  If not, I'll go hunting for the answer.....

    In previous seasons, they went to the "Ponderosa" which was a nice camp set up for them - you could go to the CBS website and see their antics - the film clips were only about a minute long.

    I know that the jury members on Big Brother all go to the same resort.  It looks pretty nice...and they get a stipend for being there.  

    I think that I do remember hearing that the survivor cast offs don't go to a 'luxury' place.  But are they together?

    Amazing Race is one of my favs.  I will check into where they are sent.  I suspect it would be a pretty nice place considering their sponsors.

    It was a good show, how come only one challenge, they used to have two.  Russell is stilla piece of work.  i wonder how long it will take him to figure out he has the other teams immunity idol!!!!

    {SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVE NOT YET WATCHED IT}

    I cannot stand Russell.  I also cannot believe the hold he has on them.  Yazmin is a trip - what was that all about?  I know why she was sent - the other camp wanted some peace and quiet.  I hope that when they go to tribal, they send Yazmin home before Shambo.  I really liked Betsy and I am so disappointed that she went home.  I really hope they catch onto him, because if not, they will lose every challenge.

    hmmmmmmmmm....must still be in my chemo fog. lol  I thought it was brilliant that he found the immunity idol before getting the clue...but never thought about it being the other teams immunity idol..

    Don't get me wrong...don't care for the guy!  Haven't really found someone to root for yet..still watching the dynamics.  Love the show though!!!

    Hi All,

    Gotta jump in here. One has to wonder if Russell is for real. Survivor has had interesting people before, ie Coach but this guy is almost too unbelievable to be true. One has to wonder if he is a plant to make the show more interesting or if he is for real. If he is for real, I wonder what he will think of himself when he gets to watch it back on tv.

    My other pet peeve, these guys know they will get dirty and their clothes will get ratty, so why in the world would you wear yellow underwear or white pants! Evil Russell really needs to put some clothes on, he may have money but apparantly that is all he's got!

    Can't wait for next week.

    Interesting point about the immunity idol.  Maybe it is worthless to R if it is suppose to be for the other tribe..........interesting.

    Still think of Russell as an old porn star.  I asked my dh how much do you think he has to pay for his dates?

    PIP you are so funny.

    I couldn't agree more pk0199-what is with the underwear? I don't think I can take all 39 days of Russel's dirty boxer/briefs.

    I liked Betsy too, and not so fond of Ben (is that his name) He seems like a brat.

    Can't wait for next week

    Peace and quiet from Yazmin.........oh my, what was she thinking? When Russell learns that is the other teams idol, he will make it so they won't be able to find it. That would be the Russell thing to do.

    Everyone is upset at Shambo for losing the mouth peice on the snorkel thing. They act like she did it on purpose. Gheesh, it was an accident, at least she was out trying to get food.

    I too liked Betsy, she was not going to take Russells crap. It would have been quite interesting had she been able to stay.

    I will be MIA for the next two shows. I have DVR so will watch when I can. I will be in Hawaii, getting married!

    I'm NOT liking this season after all (thought the 1st show was good though).

    If Russell is a 'plant' (a thought I had after HOW could he be THAT smart as to look in THAT tree - too obvious?) then I'm over this season. If he isn't a plant and truly is that smart and that savvy of a player then he deserves to win - IMO.

    I'll reserve further negative judgement until after the next episode.

     I read Jeff Probst's blog and he doesn't hint at the idol not being valid for R to use.  Here is the link if  you want  to follow it.

    just finally watched the 2nd show...egads, that Russell guy is something else.  My first thought is to get him voted out pronto--but, can also see that his staying in will make the episodes more intense......love Survivor, but this one hasn't "grabbed" my attention just yet.

    ...my thoughts on "plants" on some of these reality shows.....had always thought they were all wanna be actors/actresses and that everything was staged and planned out....

    ....a couple years ago at a dinner out, we had this cute, funny, chatty waitress.    She asked if any of us ever watched Deal or No Deal...the usual I can't stand that show groans and the I love that show comments back to her.   She proceeded to tell us that she had been a contestant and at that time, had the honor of being the contestant who had won the least amount of money.  Told us lots of other little tidbits--and the whole time I was thinking...BS...........but, got home and did some googling and, bingo--there she was...everything she told us was absolutely true...

    blew a big hole in my wanna-be actor theory, so I tend to believe that for the most part, the reality players could be my next door neighbor........

    anyways--can't wait for Thurs and see who evil Russell weeds out next....

    also, love the amazing race.  Haven't watched the first show yet; dvr'd while out of town.   Can't find a thread for that one--maybe we need to start one?????

    I am a huge Amazing Race fan.  Haven't watched the first one yet.  I like to pvr and ff through commercials.  Why on earth would they not do that show in HD?  

    I think Big Brother is one of the reality shows that is loaded with actor wannabes.

    I am starting to like Russell.  I wouldn't want to be in a life boat in the middle of the ocean with him.  But this is a game and when he changed his vote last week, it showed that he  is playing it with thought and purpose.
