Re: *** Survivor: Redemption Island (Season 22) ***

The Hidden Immunity Idols are so poorly hidden. The guy goes out collecting rocks and it's right there. BURY the idols in the sand somewhere so the clues actually mean something.

The hidden immunity idols are like hiding Easter eggs for the neighborhood toddlers. There are too many of them and they are practically in plain sight.

Not really sure why Rob would vote off the surfer kid. Its too soon. You can always wait to break up the love birds on any season.

I think Russells strategy of only having a 1 or 2 person alliance and intimidation tactics will run its course. He doesn't and won't have an idol for the first few tribals, so he's prime for the picking.

Rob and Russell keep saying how they are the only people who know how to play the game. They have already made huge tactical errors IMO.

Had he not shook hands with the other tribe he would still be in the game imo.

Even though it is very early in the game him shaking hands with the other team may sway jury votes in his favor down the line. Rob freaked out and wanted his group to gang up on the likeable and strong competitor.

Yeah, thats thr reason Rob went after him this week, but it was only a matter of time before he busted up the love birds anyway.

Its way too early to factor the hand shaking politicing into the equation. The guy was loyal to his 6. Now Rob has a loose cannon in phillip on his hands and a girl that will be gunning for Rob. Now he has to take her off next and hope noone else jumps ship. He has Phiilip in his back pocket now, but it doesn't really do him alot of good because its too hard to trust and strategize with him.

Re: *** Survivor: Redemption Island (Season 22) ***

- I actually thought taking out Matt was a smart move by Boston Rob. Now he doesn't ever have to worry about a blindside from Matt/Andrea. I would rather have Philip on my side. Philip was probably picked on in school and is just looking for acceptance. I have a hard time picturing him turning on Boston Rob.

- I thought it was pretty risky move by Ralph to confront Russell. I know he can go back to the rest of the tribe and basically say Russell is a liar but now he's on Russell's hit list. I probably wouldn't have confronted him and just put a fake HII in the same location

- Jeff Probst said this is a Top 5 season and based on the first 2 episodes, I have to agree. The casting makes the show. We're at Season 22 and I'm not bored at all.

Spoiler

Throwing that challenge could bite them in the as later. Russel had it figured out right away. He could easily make it far enough to be in the jury and that will be brought up in any kind of final 3 vote.

I thought Russell and his alliance was going to pull it off. I'm not going to lie, I was turned on by Stephanie ranting and raving during the TC.

Despite my man crush on Russell, the 6 pack did the right thing. Julie would have been stupid to flip on her alliance since she wouldn't have the numbers on her side.

I have no idea how Philip didn't know their was a HII clue in the chair.

I wanted to punch Stephanie and I know russel was thinking stfu bitch. I bet we see challenges russel has seen before. You know the producers had ratings in mind.

I wish they didn't have 2 people on each tribe watching the Redemption Island duels. They should have kept Redemption Island a complete secret. They only find out who's coming back after all the duels are done.

I think that might have been a one time thing. The tree mail said something about getting a preview of what might lay ahead. I agree it would make more sense and be better TV if they have no idea. The shock on their faces to see that Russel has survived the entire time would be priceless.

No one lies to Russell Hanns and gets away with it!

I love how Russell thinks he invented lying.

Russell will have a clearcut advantage in every redemption island duel. They appear to be "mini" games of previous challenges that Russell has seen before.

Everyone will be crying when Russell comes back with an immunity idol swinging from his *(&^.

They made a mistake by throwing the challenge, but made the right move by waxing Russell and then hopefully his little mouthy concubines.

Re: *** Survivor: Redemption Island (Season 22) ***

So not totally sure how Redemption Island works, but I think it goes this way..

The only time the winner of Redemtion Island goes back to a tribe is when the other tribe sends someone to R.I. and the original person beats the new person. Make sense?

So I feel that if and probably when Russell wins out of Redemption Island, he'll go back to Boston Rob's tribe.

I think that would be an amazing turnaround for the sure if both Rob and Russel were back on the same tribe.

The winner of Redemption Island will rejoin at the merge.

Russell has been horrible at challenges over 2 seasons though.
