Did Russell not learn anything last season. Why does he tell everyone when he gets an hidden immunity idol. Why does any player for that matter have to blab it. Isn't the hidden immunity idol much more effective if no one knows you have it!!!!!

I'm not sure who I want the Heroes to believe... Russell or Sandra.

Russell is a beast. I liked him on his first season but havent liked him much on this one...but he is proving that he is as good as it gets. If he can get rid of Sandra in the first merge vot he will go to the final vote again. He may have made a mistake not getting rid of her before the merge. She is way more of a talker than Courtney...and no one liked Courtney on either side. The have no respect for how she plays the game...which is to do NOTHING.

On a side note, everyone knows Parvati is dangerous...but is Amanda actually the best Survivor player ever? She has been 3rd and 2nd in her first two tries and has played the game longer than anyone else.


My top All Time Survivors:

Russell Hantz
Boston Rob Mariano
Amanda Kimmell
Parvati Shallow
Colby Donaldson - used to think he was as good as they came...I knocked him off the list at the start of this season, but he is still alive so I put him back on.
Ozzy
Richard Hatch
Yul
JT
Amber Brkich

Not really in order...just my top 10.

Although JT and Colby may drop out of that list if the idol thing ends up being their downfall.

If James had a brain he would easily be one of the top 5 ever. But he is as dumb as the shovel he digs graves with.



And I just found out that Amanda was in Miss USA. Never knew that.

I'm pretty sure Ozzy got cancer and is recovering from that.

Ethan has the cancer....and he was clear of it and it has since reoccurred so he is facing his second battle. I don't think Ozzy has it.

I was wondering about Amanda as well, 3rd and 2nd in her two seasons, and still alive in this one. Doesn't have even close to the game that Russell does, but always is there at the end. Does she get consideration for best ever? Can't wait for next week now that the dumbass Heroes gave Russell the idol, and Parvati has one. If they were smart they would blindside Russell.

Hidden Immunity Idol = Power.

The reason that people choose to share the fact that they have the idol is because it builds trust and puts them in a place of power. Since Russel already once stuck his neck out and gave one idol to Parvati, he's established trust, and by letting them know that he has this one it will build this trust even more. Also, since they are convinced they are about to merge and since the other tribe gave him this idol he needs to let his alliance know that he was given the idol so they know how to play things when a merge happens.

I think that was more JT's decision than Colby.
