Oh, that would be awesome!

I know from watching the behind the scene stuff that all the ones that will be on the jury go to ponderosa, but what does happen to those voted off before that? Where do they go? I'd imagine they are kept on location, but where?

I think they stay in seclusion until the episode in which they are voted off is aired. That is why they have to sign the contract about keeping quiet.

By the way, I read a teaser this week about a redeption island competitor going off on Suvivor when he lost the competition. That sounds like Russell to me. He is a little bitter man right now.

I read a spoiler that claims that Russell has an Immunity Idol that saves him on RI. Sounds crazy, but I would believe anything.

If that's true, the producers are manipulating results a little too much. I know they love Russell, he's great for ratings, but that seems going a little overboard. Something like that could backfire for the show. I figured they'd just give him a challenge that they knew he could win. They know the strengths and weaknesses of all the contestants.

I totally agree! I guess we will know Wednesday. My prediction is that Russell will be out .. not what I want to happen, but oh well.

Since RI is not a vote, but strictly a challenge win, I don't see how an II would save someone there. But, I can see someone that didn't use it at tribal and took it with them to RI, lose the challenge, handing it off to the winner at RI. Then that person would eventually bring it back into the game with them.

Oh, it was supposedly a different idol that could be used for any challenge. It has a note...I dont think it is true. I was just saying that I saw it. This was a spoiler posted on Survivor Sucks. Those things are not always true.

Ahhhh, I haven't been on Survivor Sucks this season. Everything has been twisted up so new this time around, that is definitely a possibility. That would really put a new spin on it. hmmmm.

All I can say is.. Russell is out!! I'm shocked I thought he would go all the way on Redemption Island and get back in the game at the merge.

I think that answers the question about whether or not the producers of the show slant the competitions in favor of one or another player!

I fear Rob is in trouble now. His tribe broke ranks. Who do you think voted to oust Phillip? Do you think Rob can get control back? And what is going to happen if they don't start winning some challenges? If they go into the merge in the minority Rob will be the first to be voted out! I would hate that!

Absolutely! While I felt badly that Russell never really had a chance, I am happy to see that there was no "interference".

Those two guys went into this with targets on their backs...for different reasons, but targets nonetheless. I am not so sure this was a good pick for the producers, bringing them back like this. But hey...the season could end up a great one. Time will tell.

Glad he is gone...won't miss him.

Robs alliance is strong...they did what he wanted...no one broke ranks...remember...he said split the votes...three votes for Kristina and 2 for Phil and than that left Kristina's vote and Phils vote...4 voted for Kristina and 3 for Phil the 3rd person that voted for Phil was Kristina....and the 4th vote for Kristina was Phil....leaving Rob still in control of his alliance.

I do worry tho, about the challenages and them not winning...I feel if they don't start winning...they are going to go into the merge very weak...only thing that will save Robs butt at that first tribal will be the imunity idol that he has...and a blindside.

I always felt that Russell should have won on the first time he was on Survivor - after that - No! I never liked the way he played the game - but he truly did play the game. I did feel sorry for him crying last night though.
