Evil Russell, not really that evil, or smart

We were promised an evil guy and we got Evil Russell, who's really just a guy trying to play a character, this guy is 1,000 times less horrible then Coach. He also sucks at Survivor because the first thing he did was turn on somebody he claimed he had an alliance with. When an alliance mate says "I'm nervous" you win their trust by doing something about it, not by putting a bullet in their head. The play was voting out old useless Mike, the cook. You tell your 'stupid young girl' alliance partner "Trust me, look, we're getting rid of Mike tonight, it's all good." Mike goes home, she's reassured. I mean, if *she* sees you're plotting with everyone, then everyone else sees it to. This is what got Jonathan kicked off on his first season of Survivor, because he was 'playing to hard' Evil Russell is playing to hard, and he thinks it makes him badass and awesome, all it really does is put a bulls eye on him.

Since CBS is hyping Evil Russell a lot, I'm sure he'll last a while (Most likely to the merger, and then a little bit past that), but he won't win. People like him who are clearly gung ho and all out for glory flame out. Be sure to throw this prediction back at me when Evil Russell has his million dollar check at the end of the year and is crowing about how smart he is.

One final note: No exile island tonight, and thus no hidden idol. I think that gimmick has run it's course. It was fun for gaming for a while, but then it turned into a moronic arts and crafts project.
