I was wondering why he seemed not as aggressive this season. I mean he didn't find a single idol unlike he did in season 19. I was expecting that same drive and tenacity. Don't get me wrong he was still the same ole Russell, but he seemed kind of over it in season 20.

Andrew C No one saw him play the first time, he had the biggest advantage coming into the game. That’s why JT gave him the idol.

@@a.jdeets5527 They liked him that much that he was on the very next season. Wow. Talk about unfair for the other team.

Amanda did it too!

PolyRon Season 20 He was in it but the guy was physically trained but by far 20 was his best showing made all the all stars look weak

wow 10 days apart ,I did not know that, and I believe you, jeff probst was right, the game of survivor has specific rules & you have to win within those rules.

Nick Nowicki Yea. He's technically right. So its not soley a game about wits, it's about sore hurt butts on a jury going with their feelings. You can play the best game, but the jury can award someone who didn't do anything the money. I see what Russell is saying.

Yep, and the key part about that is, when he started season 20, he still had no idea about the Season 19 results. So in his mind, he may have (rightfully) assumed that he beat Natalie and Mick, and he was going for his 2nd million dollars in a row. So why would he change the way he played?

I don't think this is true, I think I remember him saying "I think all stars will reward my game" kinda referring to him knowing he lost. I think he or parvarti win tho if the season didn't focus on the whole "heroes v villains" bit tho. Still the fact that Natalie won in so laughable lol

Notthefather yeah I get what you mean but you can’t really play the best game if you made everyone upset and hurt on the jury. That is part of it and has been since the beginning.

no, it was actually an advantage to him. he was still fresh in the game, so he didnt need time to get back up to speed. some players hadnt played in years, so they needed time to adjust back into survivor-mode. but russels mind was already in survivor mode day 1 cause he had just played for 39 days. also, no one saw his first season so no one knew who he was. that was his biggest advantage over everyone else. so many people were voted off based off reputation. tom wastman, boston rob etc. if people had seen russels first season, he would have never made it to the end. he would've been voted off early.

He had two weeks between 19 and 20 Russell said why’ll everyone was going home and was getting to go eat and clean up he was in his hotel room wondering why he wasn’t getting ready to leave and Russell stated Mark Barnett walked in with a couple of producers and said to Russell you think you are the best go prove it and shipped him out again to do 20. Of course Russell could have said no but come on who wouldn’t

@@magicmath2714 but to be fair I’d question why this new guys here and in a season like that I would have targeted Russell right away and Rob tried and almost had him just Tyson screwed it up and Parvati and Daniel were smart to aline with Russell cause they knew he was crazy and no one would vote for him. I knew he probably wouldn’t win 20 but he should have won 19 but Russell did give us some great television to watch the guy was amazing really aggressive but made the seasons fun unless you hated him

it's also the reason russel went 'crazy' during HvV and why he never really worked on his past mistakes or changed

No it was a disadvantage. People have limits. Russell literally played 78 days instead of 39.

I mean yeah but people need to understand 2 things: SOCIAL GAME ain't the same as JURY MANAGEMENT. People keep talking about how Russel had 0 social game, then explain how he absolutely steamrolled 2 seasons back to back and was calling the shots the entire time? He had tons of social game. The problem is that he isn't a suckup or pretends to be nice, as he says it himself in this video: I can't play any other way. His social game wasn't lacking, his Jury management was.

@@HugsmadeDrugs He has no social game except for intimidation. Everybody hated him, which is why he received zero votes. There is a reason why people love Boston Rob or Sandra but not him. Because they are very likable as a person. Russell an a-hole and he is going to jail now for a reason. To win its not just about STRATEGY ALONE. You need to predict the unpredictable, you need to have strong jury management, you need to tone down your ego and not openly be arrogant, you need to learn when to be aggressive and stay out of radar, you need to be likable as a person, you need to know who your threat is. Russell had none of them except for strategy. That's it. Boston Rob said it best, he played to get to the final not to win. He has the worse jury management in history, he choose the 2 person that could beat him in a landslide (Identifying your threats), he was arrogant & rude, he never stays under the radar, etc. To top it off, he is the worst sore loser in the history of the game. He is not even among the top 20 greatest ever. Now he can cry his sorry as* in jail because he is not just a horrible player. He is a horrible person & a scammer.

Yes it's easy to backstab but it's not easy to do it in a way that you can make it to FTC

​@@HugsmadeDrugssocial game is more complex than simplying lying your ass off. If youre going to lie then cover your ass better. Something clearly he couldnt do. Hes a terrible liar.

No, the problem is people fail to bring goats to the end with them & "jury management" dude all I would say is if I was theree I'll just donate the money to charity and they will go "oh cool here's your vote". In Samoa he said he is a millionairee that is the dumbest move ever, this stuff is a factor it's why peoplee vote off all the people that won a car. He could've also made sure he brought to the jury the people that liked him like Ash and that other country guy. In HvV he never had a chance they were just all bad losers with too high of egos.

Agreed, and it showed in Survivor: RI. The moment he played with people familiar with him, he was ousted real quick.

Dallas This is probably a pretty bullshit statement because Parvati said before HvV that she was gonna align with anyone even if they’re a big threat and Danielle would still align with him because she did trust him! And Russell still would’ve found the idol!

@@LiteDisc It would have taken only the first 30 minutes of the very first episode. No way would that same lineup of Villains let him near the starting line today.

Here's Tommy! He didn’t have it at his first Tribal

Ryley Carroll I know he didn’t have it at the Randy vote out but I personally believe maybe the tribe would’ve been thinking of getting rid of Russell or Randy. And they still would’ve voted out Randy because Russell performs way better at challenges. But who knows it’s just a theory.

amanda did it too lol

Not just that when he went to the final live for Samoa in December he had to keep his mouth shut about season 20 cause it was already filmed by then. Then goes to the final in May for HvV and still lost that’s tough

Russell was better than her IMO.

So true, really good way to summarize it all up

I agree. I feel he was trying to hard to make big moves and those big moves ended up costing him so jury votes.

Yeah, but the same argument could have been said for Boston Rob and he won his season.

@@Eternaldarkness3166 Boston Rob was a lot smoother with the way he talked to be. Russel had a very condescending approach and it made him unlikable but Boston Rob made it seem like he actually cared about the player so when they went to jury they didn't feel betrayed. Also Rob took to goats to the end whereas Russell took likeable players to the end.

well said, saddhu saddha saddhu

In reality your character will be the judge. His character and personality was too see through.

Russell is a little bitch. When he got kicked out early in season 22 he cried like a bitch and had the gall to call his teammates out for thr0wing a challenge to get him out. After the things he pulled its pretty funny. He's not someone to be impressed by, he was willing to stoop lower than anyone else and control weak minds, That's not impressive to me

@@Chasstful ye wym little bitch russell is one of the hardest working and hardest mentality players to ever touch this game.

I wouldn’t, I would work to get on his good side. He’s a perfect person to bring to the finals, everyone will hate him and not want to give him their vote and and he would bring his alliance who’s most useful to him with him to the finals.

+Kerry Taliaferro Brian would have destroyed Russell on contact.

Sandra literally did nothing all game. Oh please

@@lonerebeI the people that played with her disagree with you.

Sandra running to Rupert at the merge to warn the heroes about Russell is my favorite moment of HvV. It's the scene that gave her the win.

​@FeverDog420 Thing that always annoyed me was. It didn't matter whether Russell or Sandra was telling the truth. The Heroes should have voted Russell. If Russell is telling the truth, the vote is 5-4-1, Russell leaves. If Russell is lying, the vote ties and Sandra flips on the revote, Russell is gone. And in both scenarios no one would think of giving him the idol. The Heroes were idiots.

So what if he told lies. It is outwit, outplay, outlast. Lying is part of the game. I don’t believe he outplayed Parvati but he should have been the runner up and Parvati should have won. The jury abdicated their responsibility.

This is the most sound arguement to a Russel loss. I agree 100%. Sore loser effect took him down not the other players.

aka... trish

The show is called Survivor, not Make Friends. He outwitted, outplayed and outlasted everyone twice and was robbed twice. When the best player of the season does not win twice, there is a flaw in the game. If I was ever lucky enough to play and someone like Russel annihilated me like that, I'd vote for them twice, cause they deserve to win, you give someone credit where credit is due, whether you like them or not.

bigtomivan You still don’t get it. Part of the game of Survivor, and a major part that is, is JURY MANAGEMENT. And yes, you need to consider bitter jury in your strategy. Russell doesn’t care at all about jury management. His strategy is great only to bring him to the final tribal, not to win it. So there you go, Russell hands down deserves to lose. It’s already 30+ Seasons of survivor. If you still don’t understand the concept of jury management, then you don’t understand Survivor.

Fadly Razali and there you have the flaw in the system, the winner is not based on who plays the best, who controls the game, who makes the best moves, it’s who pissed you off the least or who you like more. That sounds like a popularity contest, this contest is about who’s the best survivor. It’s on the fkn insignia; outwit, outplay, outlast not out jury management

bigtomivan You still don’t get it. It’s part of the game. Some, if not most of the jury are bitter and whiny, some are not (it appears to me newer players in newer Seasons are less bitter) You’re not gonna be bitter, sure. Good for you. But other players have every right to be bitter and petty. They can cast their vote however they want. You need to account for that in the game. Jeff Probst made it clear in the reunion. THAT IS PART OF SURVIVOR. YOU NEED TO ACCOUNT FOR THE REACTIONS OF OTHER PLAYERS. Again, repeat after me: JURY MANAGEMENT! If your strategy doesn’t include that, YOU LOSE. Why can’t Russell fans get that in their heads?

I mean, that's not really something that says he should win in that final three, because he was sitting beside two people who not only made it to the end before, but also got the votes needed to win. Parvati in Micronesia and Sandra in Pearl Islands.

Cheaters never prosper.

The fact is that people have made it to he final 3 while also being liked by the contestants.... you do not have to choose one way or another. 50% percent of the game is not enough to win which Russell proved twice with his poor performance. 50% is failing..... and that's what his type of strategy gets you, failure. Lying cheating and screwing people over seems to be the easy way out of survivor so it does not seem like he played damn hard. It seems more like he played the easy game by taking every chance to hurt his fellow contestants and then when he had a chance to win at the end by simply saying that he had some regrets he couldn't swallow his ego to sooth the jury. Honestly, screwing people over is part of the game but acting like a D on top of that simply is crap tactics and its called doing too much. If you do have to screw someone over don't be smug afterwards cuz that's how you lose the jury.

Querent2000 how did he cheat? You must be deluded

@@baddragonfire People forget that Parvati also lost. The least hated person always wins at the end. It's probably one of Survivors major flaws. You could have ridden coattails all game but if you spoke to people enough to not hate you you win. If everyone played the way to lets say Natalie did it would be boring.

I agree that Russell was robbed in Samoa. The Galu Tribe were a bunch of Bums they were! They dug their own grave turning against Erik, they got overconfident putting all their votes on Russell who played an Idol resulting in Kelly getting blindsided, and then they made Shambo a sitting duck, If they had common sense, they should've eliminated Shambo the one time they lost the Tribal Immunity challenge and went to Tribal Council, That Tribe sucks! They foolishly take their anger out on Russell, when he proved that he was ten times the better leader of the Foa Foa Four than Mick was! If I was on the Jury in that season, I would talk Mick down for being the worst Tribe leader in Survivor history, I would praise Natalie for being a strong woman but criticize her for not pulling off any big moves/blindsides or at least winning one individual immunity challenge. On the other hand, I'd campaign for Russell to win just like David Murphy did for Boston Rob in Redemption Island and what Spencer Bledsoe did for Tony Vlachos in Cagayan. Russell, was the reason why Foa Foa had started off as the underdog Tribe and had managed to have 3 remaining members make it to the Final Tribal Council, He might not have had a good social game, but finding THREE hidden immunity Idols and winning the Final Immunity Challenge over Brett, In the end I would vote for him to win in Samoa. I probably would not vote for him in Heroes Vs. Villains though, because when you have a second chance at competing on Survivor, you want to use the second chance to learn from your mistakes that cost you the game the first time, The way i see it, Russell didn't improve on his Social Game, I would vote for Parvati instead in HvV because her moves stood out more than Russell's did and she won more individual immunity challenges than Russell did. But, I would only vote for Russell a second time if he had voted Parvati out at the Final 4 when he had the chance and had taken Sandra and Jerri with him to the Final Three. Anyway, that's just my take on how Russell played in his first two seasons!

Sandra sucked at everything and was annoying, the only reason she won cause nobody cared about her and people hated on Russell and parvarti from beating them

Parvati is NOT a bully.

I disagree. Well, Russell WAS a bully, no doubting that. Parvati was just a playful villain and Sandra was actually cool with the heroes (why she got their votes). I think Samoa was an important season to show that if you are an A-Hole you won't win. You can't bully your way to winning survivor. It was showin All Stars and now it's shown in Samoa. The social game matters. Russell was a sacrificial lamb to proving this point to future seasons. I do agree with Coach in the final tribal that if Russell was a little more apologetic and human, he could have gotten more support, but instead he resorted to calling Rupert 'a dumbass'. Great way to garner votes, idiot.

None of them are bullies bro , if you want to see what an ACTUAL bully on survivor is look up Colton Cumble

Playing back to back season is an unfair advantage. Lol ur dumb

@@tylergoodwin3546 You missed my entire point.

@@carriewhitmore maybe, but his point trumped yours.

And this was Survivor's poster child for the darkness talking. Not a ringing endorsement.

She's a proven sitter and quitter. Russell would never, NEVER disrespect the game, himself or his fans by quitting. Sandra has lost all credibility with Season 40.

Sandra is a joke, always has been a joke and can’t play the game without bringing some sob story with her.

@@AllRequired he revived survor single handedly

@@radcolortiedye6718 Russell disrespected the game in the reunion when he claims there was a flaw in it, which there wasn't. Even then, he still signed up to play a third time.

@@nasierbrown8974 first best

He also got a mind boggling amount of screentime in season 19 he got 25% of the confessionals in samoa

@@rindin1101 Usually the winners, if they're at all interesting, do get the lionshare of the confessionals. At least the character ones. Like, Boston Rob in Redemption Island was 40% of confessionals or something ridiculous.

Proof is in the pudding, you get airtime if you’re entertaining and a good player, look at every single season

Russell should have took jaison instead of Natalie. Would have won for sure

TheAnGryPOolMaN Shambo instead of Jaison. Most of Galu never did gel with Shambo, especially after the flip. Jaison did go to college to study law and is presumably a good public speaker.

Exactly. Rob is basically Russell except he actually does take huge goats to the end. Had Russell taken Jaison and Mick on Samoa, Candice and Danielle in HvV he might have won, and that would be the only way. Just like Rob's only way of winning was taking Natalie and Phillip, and unlike Russell he recognized it and did it.

Jaison was disliked and most an aggravation to people that season, he was a lazy whiner who got on everyones nerves and didnt play the game either. Even a good FTC would have done nothing for him at that point. Russell's best F3 would be Jaison and Shambo. He wins that for sure. Neither of those was ever winning. Jaison and Mick (or Shambo and Mick) might have also won it for him, but Mick would have a shot, wouldnt be as sure a win for him as Jaison and Shambo.

LilannB well Sandra for damn sure didn't deserve it

Russell was his own downfall. Had he shown remorse for his actions, I feel the outcome would have been different. Instead, he made himself look like a horrible bully and a nasty and controlling person.

Russell took the wrong people at the end. If he took danielle and candice he would of own. If he was so i control he wud of been able to keep candice.

@@1polyron1 Lmao, he apologized for his actions and said everything he did was pure strategy during his speech. People acted like he was the devil, when there are people that have been on the show and won that have completely lied about their personal lives, cheated and have gone after the personal lives of other players. Russell didn't once say anyone was a bad person on that show or go after anyone personally, not really, but he was called the devil and an awful person by many people he played with, despite the fact that none of those people really know Russell outside of the game. That's what frustrates me the most, you have morons like Ruppert who can't separate a game from reality. Good game play should be rewarded. If the main reason you get to the end is because you're nice and don't take matters into your own hands by making big moves, then your lucky, simple as that. So I agreed with what Russell said in his speech that he wasn't lucky because he took matters into his own hands. If you get to the end because of luck and being nice you don't deserve it.

@@watsupdoc I think he was right taking Sandra even though she won. I'm like Russell in that I don't respect Sandra's gameplay (granted I didn't see Sandra's first season). Everyone nowadays is obsessed with jury management, but that's only one part of the game...you also have to be good at challenges, find idols before other players find them and play them properly and then make good game moves so the jury will respect you. Sandra was only good at the social game, she didn't win jack shit, got outplayed and out maneuvered by Russell (yes I do believe this because Russell and Parvati could have worked together to get rid of Sandra whenever they wanted. No Russell wasn't manipualted by Sandra, he honestly thought Sandra was a weak player that didn't deserve to win). I do think Parvati had a solid case to win it that year, I would have respected it if she won, but no way Sandra deserved it. She only won it because of a bitter jury that over exaggerated the jury management aspect of the game.

@@herestommy4263 that never guarantees a win. You need a good strategic game, a good social game, and a bit of luck. He had only one, good enough to get him in the end but not to win. Also, he played twice after and went home 2nd.

@Sam Crow Look the producers have done a lot to make the game better. Sandra's win in HvV was their wake up call that there was a problem with the game and that things needed to change. Over the past 20 seasons, we have had nothing but good deserving winners. Even Michelle was not that bad.

Coach was really annoying in his first season, but I thought was a lovable doofus here.

Lol they literally just were using him paravati was his puppet master jerri was just a gullible woman.

Survivor is a game, outwit, outplay, outlast.. Russel is a master of outlasting but he struggles in outwit (Jury) which he forgets that's the most important part is the Jury and how they perceived you as a player. It takes someone who can outwit the Jury into voting for you, the one who put them there. Such as Tony, Sandra, Rob, etc. If Russel would have made that adjustment after Samoa, he would have been the greatest player ever.

He has the shittiest social game of all time. He makes everyone hate him and then expects them to vote for him anyway.

I saw the entire season 19 and I dont know from what can people be offended.. he just humiliated them because they had 8-4 numbers and all 8 of them were on the jury

His ONLY weakness in the game of survivor in my opinion. Only reason he hasn't won is because of an emotional jury

@@lonerebeI He played a good game but if you don't have connections on the Jury your not gonna win overall. You can blame it on a bitter jury but that's something Russell expected and even with him knowing the jury would be bitter he still didn't make an attempt and then gets mad when he doesn't win

Tony better than both of em

He literally got lucky with jerri being a complete bafoon its crazy how a couple bafoons can give this guy so much ego

Tony and Sandra are the best, Tony #1. Sandra was more passive.

Roger Crow That and a hidden immunity idol was always involved. Not the mark of the best Survivor player.

I don't think you understand that the goal is to get to the end and that the jury has an obligation to vote for the best player. Russell was by far the best player in season 20, and the jury's voting for Sandra and not him is absolutely inexcusable.

​@@ronaldm.6150 You're wrong. The point of the game is to get to the end AND get the jury to vote for you (which contrary to what you just said, has no obligation. The whole point is they vote for who they want). Russell is great at part one (but not as great as people say he is - the fact that he's hated by basically every other contestant helps get him there because he makes an ideal goat) but is possibly the worst possible survivor player ever at part two which is why he's never actually won and despite what he believes, has never had any real chance of winning.

@@juliantahyar9517 No, you're wrong. The point of the game is to get to the end, if the jury isn't bitter they'll vote you to win if you were the best of the season, but Russell's juries knowingly incorrectly voting Natalie and Sandra to win. It was Russell who was the Sole Survivor of his seasons.

@@juliantahyar9517 Correct. Getting to the end is easy. But when your fellows are on the jury and each is holding a vote YOU NEED, it's getting their votes that counts. Russell thinks it's all about stealing the chickens. He can't fathom the idea that he actually has to get out of the barn before it burns down.

SpKill Maybe he shouldn’t be an asshole to the people voting for him to win a million dollars.

The jury almost always votes emotionally. In a perfect world where the jury voted on who played the game best, Russell would’ve won. But he doesn’t play the social game, he makes the jury hate him then expects they’ll be impartial. He should’ve won, but he should’ve known he wouldn’t.

@@livm9306 I don't understand your guy's logic, literally makes no sense. You say he plays the perfect game but both times he had almost the entire tribe hating him, that is such a huge flaw in his gameplay it's obvious, and you guys even point it out, yet you still believe he should have won, even though he was not the best at playing the game like how you guys admit

King you mean?

And whats wrong with that if its true? If someone was rich you call them rich. If someone is dumb you call them dumb. He is an egotist sure and thats because he knows he is the best which is TRUE.

Carrying Parvati? I guess you don't understand her genius strategy. She even said it "I kept him, as my pet".

Yup, and after rewatching Samoa, it's amazing that he didnt win. His game play of being a bully and playing the jury wrong is blown way out of proportion because of HvV.

It all depends on the jury. Parvati I thought should have won since they all hated Russell. Sandra winning twice is a joke tho. People are so gullible, she sold out her mom dying and her husband in the army as to why she should have won.

Actually, Samoa was still in edit when this was filming. They didn't get to see anything (the very first season to be like this).

The Jedi mind trick that he played on Tyson I thought was one of the all-time best moves ever. He never even asked Tyson to change is vote.

And cuz she was a flirt

Why should he. He is the fan favorite, and the 🐐.

😂😂😂

Is this a joke?

I think parv got robbed but sandra should have never been considered for the finale.

@@snakeking5009 how? How? Bro carried parv to the final

You're completely wrong.

I did :) so good, Sandra got him Changa'd

He's great for entertainment, but lacked when it came to Jury because he showed no remorse for his bad actions. BUt yeah, it was entertaining.

Can u blame him?

@@brasstacksboxing409 exactly

No, he really does.

@@commentingperson9554 Then why doesn't he win?

@@tiagocardoso2897 Bitter, incorrect juries.

@@commentingperson9554 The juries are only as bitter as you make them. Russell made plenty of them bitter due to being a controlling asshole and treating people like they were below him.

@Tiago Cardoso You have to be a pussy to get offered by Russell’s game. There’s no excuses for bitter Juries they always ruin the end result of the game. All Stars, Vanuatu, Tocantins, Samoa, HvV, Nicaragua, South Pacific, Koah Rong and Ghost Island.

Sandra doesn’t even try in challenges. She doesn’t help at camp. She ruins survivor. The idea of survivor. You know how many people who love to play in a challenge and she multiple times gives up.

​@@dillonbrooks7807the point of survivor isn't to win challenges or help around at camp.. it's just to win and Sandra has been able to do it twice

Yup

Sandra was a bump on a log, didnt deserve the win

***** I like your last sentence. I agree with what you're saying, but Russell didn't seem to learn from his first experience that not everyone sees the world the same way he does. That's one thing Rob did that might make him a better all around player. Rob eventually realized the importance of jury management. I wonder if Russell came back again whether he could change his game just enough that he might win over a jury. I would love to see it.

"Hantz is by far the best player to ever play Survivor" -- Do you still think this? Even after seeing Tony play his game? Tony was pretty much a perfect version of Russel.

***** It's from Survivor: Cagayan, and it is definitely worth it!

"Hantz is by far the best player to ever play Survivor" yeah, he's SO good, that he fails at the key to winning- getting on people's good sides. Jury votes trump clever blindsides every time.

***** Dude, you really need to re-read my first sentence. There is a comma before the word "Hantz" and what you quoted of me is a phrase and not a complete sentence. My entire post was about my first sentence. If you re-read my post carefully you'll see the mistake you made. If you DO read this post, please have the common decency to apologize. I realize that you probably read my post quickly and probably missed the comma. We all make mistakes like that.
