Either the rocket scientst is going to win or go out a total stooge.
You nailed that one! I'm glad the flipflopper got the boot this week!
Russell's way too mysoginistic for me to want him to win. Shambo has pretty much become ballast in my eyes. I hope one of them goes next too, Sharky. Jaison is too smirky for my tastes, and Mick is a total unknown to me, making me not care anything about him.

I don't like Russel's attitude, but he has played the game better than anyone. He's crafty, but I wouldn't call him smart. And that's what will lose the game for him... he thinks he's smarter than he is.
Of the remaining people, only Dave has played as well. But he's also not someone I'm liking. This season has been full of nobodys.

Lash, I don't want get myself in trouble here. But I have to remind you of the year Survivor had the battle of the sexes, and the women had a 7-1 advantage post merge.
And still lost to a man.

Good episode! I liked how there were signs of players OTHER than Russell showing they have some game, too. For such a smart player, I can't believe he let other people know about his personal fortune. That's ultimately gonna be why he doesn't win this season, regardless of whether he goes to the finale or not. Seems Russell's ego trumps his game play and his street smarts. That's his fatal flaw.
The million will go to Jaison (or Brett if he can continue winning immunity), I think. Mick's gonna self-destruct with his insecurity. Natalie's gonna be targeted for being too lovable and not make the final. Shambo's just too much of a Judas in the eyes of those Galus and a tool for the rest.
Agree with my assessment? Who do you guys think wins, and what's your reasoning?

Astounded. I am just speechless at tonight's finale.
I guess I just really favor strategic game play over the "social game" but, honestly, I can't fathom how the vote went the way it did.
Oh, well:

I just saw the finale ON DEMAND. Just like in comic books... good triumphs over evil!
Russell had me in his corner for a brief moment after Brett got the boot. Yeah, he really does deserve it, I began to think.
Then it all went out the window with his arrogant self-congratulations. Yeah, you did everything "all by yourself", Russell. Whatever.
He reminds me of a businessman who goes into business with 2 friends and finds a way to screw his partners out of the profits. I'm glad he lost and I hope he goes early on the upcoming ALL-STAR edition.

I suspect, based on Russell's reaction at the Somoa reunion, he didn't do well on "Heroes vs. Villains" ... otherwise, he may not have been such a big baby about losing to Natalie, who, by the way, owes Erik a huge thanks for his speech at the last tribal council which probably clinched the win for her ...
