    I think he's creepy. He has a Charles Manson like cult leader creepiness to him.

    He just makes my skin crawl.

    Sandy, it's weird you made that reference...

    Russell looks eerily similar to Manson, just run a google image search for Manson and you'll see what I mean...

    He's only THIRTY-SEVEN! He looks older than that! I can't stand him. I understand why they're keeping him. I'd vote for anyone BUT Russell...ugh...

    I really don't see the Manson comparison at all. He's hateable. That's about it.

    I love the show. But almost didn't watch the finale for fear that Russell would win. Didn't like him the first time he played. What a sore loser too!!!

    I think the sore losers are the jury who are so bitter that they got beat with such enthusiasm for the game. Rupert is the quote"disgusting human being" for calling russel all the names he did when he was voting, after the game was over its over if your still holding grudges than your worse than russel, who isnt that bad. Hes lying for a million dollars. Its these actions that make ppl disgusting. They dont know russel or his life. Each person on the 20th season lied and thiers wasnt any less of a lie than russels, russel just had to lie more to keep his ship going...ITS PART OF THE GAME...Russel had a solid game plan and executed it better than anyone in the history of the show, heros were jumping to russels ship at any chance they could...Candice, Rupert, J.T., and Colby! Its just stupid for all they jury to hold themselves on a higher level than russel when they were doing the same thing just not as good.I would of given my vote to russel, losing to sandra is pathetic! she did nothi

    If i lose i would want to be beat by the best and that is not sandra! Te game has got too jaded, america needs to get 33% of the vote!!! Tats the only way to get an impartial perspective. The only hateble qualities are you guys hating someone because you saw maybe 100 hours of his life thru an edited show, you dont know anything about him. The only thing i know is that ppl like you are the ones who should be ashamed for bashing a husband and father. for looing like manson...right, dumbasses!!!Manson is skinny, and pale, with color in one eye,i dont see the similarities, sorry

    I Love Russell!! He's the only one ever that has really played the game! Yes, he's a dick but remember he is play for a million dollars.

    I think he played the game well after all its survival right, you all would probably be the same way in a survival situation the only thing that's bad here is you have to play with humans and humans have feelings like all the dumb-asses on the jury they need to let it roll off their chests ,last years jury wasn't as bad as this one ------what a bunch of cry babies ,and the Manson thing not even close , AND HE SHOWS ALOT OF BUSINESSMAN SAVOY and that's what you need to survive in this world and game and the arrest --never judge until you here both sides--anyway Russell you kicked ass -- I cant stand Sandra she never shuts the hell UPPPPPPP

    How russell didn't win is beyond me! He has been robbed twice now with two very undeserving women taking the so called 'crown'. If Russell didn't win then parvatti was more deserving, but for sandra to win is ridiculous. He certainly created a ratings bonanza for Survivor in the past two seasons.

  • Jess 1 year ago

    Yes for the past 2 seasons Russell has made the show exciting to watch...for how terrible he will be next. The game is Outplay, Outwit, Outlast. Not immediately align only with women, bully & threaten them the minute they don't say yes caveman. I know watching show doesn't mean you know the guy, but he can't be to far from what we have seen. What I see is a male chauvenist with short man complex who is a bully with a huge ego. To now say he's not playing to win is crap, why did he offer to pay the million for title last season then. Whatever!

    i can not believe that he swore on his kids lives that he was on board with the heroes! does he really want 2 win that much? it's pretty funny that Sandra burned his hat. & he only wears a hat because he has a bald patch on his head.hee hee

    Russell shows all the symptoms of a classic narcissist. He lost two times because he is not capable of understanding other people's feelings and how it effects the way they deal with him. If Russell comes to Survivor for a third go, he will get to the final round and get no votes. He is the best third for the other two to have because it becomes two fighting for the win instead of three.
