Survivor Samoa - Episode 2

[dr.strangelove]

Sorry this is late. I was out of town for a few days.
Anyway, lets get into a GREAT second episode. SociopathicRussell (thanks Duer 157099) is going to make this one of the best seasons ever. He is just a fountain of insanity and fun. He makes Coach seem as nice as the deaf girl from Amazon.

I love that they started right off with SociopathicRussell and his power trip. He tells us that Marisa’s gone for no other reason but me. Man I bet Brunet had an accident in his pants when he met this guy. What a ratings grabber.

Russell may be making a mistake by openly controlling the game. Going after Betsy in public was not smart. I would have dragged her into the jungle. Even though they talked quietly on teh beach, its open moves early that can hurt you.
That said, unless someone does somethign soon, he is going to control that tribe. He played a brilliant move in siding with Jaison. Jaison is the person who can beat SociopathicRussell. So gettign him on board is key to his plan. Also, lets give credit where its due. SociopathicRussell is a genius. He found the idol before it was even announced. He is smart and one hell of a good player. I tip my hat to a well played game move. He is safe for some time now.

That battle challenge was great. Shambo was a bit rough, but some on, all is fair in love and war. I thought Ben was a bit rough with Yasmin, but what was wrong with his move on the other Russell (as I have decided to call the "other Russell"). As always, I feel bad when someone leaves the game for a medical reason. I note that the game has changed a lot. Back in Outback, when Mike Skupan went down, he was the next evicted person. But now when Mike could easily have counted for the person to be evicted, they tossed him on the chopper and made Foa Foa evict another. That hardly seemed fair. I loved the selection of Yasmin to visit Foa foa. Has there ever been a worse strategy decision than to lead off with "it’s like taking candy from a baby". Yasmin hung herself when she could have become the most powerful person in the game. She had the chance for secret alliances or makign freinds, but instead she went for cocky and bragging, not a good move.

Shambo did the ultimate mess up, she broke and lost part of teh fishign gear. The most important win is the gear. She is dead. I hope they send her home for that. I sure would.

Ben is an idiot. He should have went for meakness in costign hsi team the challenge by gettign tossed, but he went again for cock, that rarely works. I thought it might be him at first, but Betsy played a poor game and never made the right friends. SociopathicRussell is set for a big run with Jaison at his side.
