Review: Survivor Samoa – All Hell Breaks Loose – TV Squad
November 6th, 2009 | posted by cwalton |
Now, I know Russell is a snake in the grass. But each week I have to begrudgingly give him credit for playing the game and realizing what the show is all about. He’s a bit like a slimier country boy Richard Hatch, albeit not gay and (thankfully) he keeps his clothes on. I like to think that I’d be like a Liz and see right through his slime. I’m still not understanding why so many people are just falling for the ooze. He did it again tonight. Not everyone fell for it, though.
Although Russell kept going on about how much trust he has with the remaining Foa Foa members, I don’t think he’d hesitate to throw any of them under the bus if he thought he had a better ally from Galu after the merge. When the merge went down tonight, he was immediately running around showing his hidden idol to half of Galu and cutting deals for the final seven, final two, you name it. I’m not sure that’s the best approach as it kind of blows the idea of having a secret immunity idol. So, Mr. Snake Oil Salesmen screwed up a bit right there.
He predicted he’d swing the Galu folks around to vote off one of their own and they did. Maybe he did know what he was doing after all. Because Laura was sent to Foa Foa by Shambo last week, he thought she was easy ally prey. Little did he know that Laura would do the reprehensible — she’d disrespect his authority. Oh no! She must be crushed as is anyone who dares not fall for his ooze of slime!

If the immunity challenges turn into will-based challenges look for russel to lose a limb before going down – the samoan million is more etched into russel’s retina’s than any other survivor with john a careful second… there’s likely not a second their eyes aren’t on the prize.
As for ooze… well, survivor isn’t about sleeping and it’s important that those coasting wake up and smell the coffee… after all: if you don’t ooze you looze … and as you pointed out, there’s a method to russel’s madness being part of foa ashes from which the aiga phoenix has arisen… the ratings must have got a bump this week (if you didn’t catch episode 8, be sure to check your tivo or find a copy).
