Russell Hantz: H vs V - Villain

[OriginalSinner]

I wonder how many hidden immunity idols this time for him.

Previous Survivor He Respects Most: “I don’t respect any of them.”

And there it is, folks. 10-to-1 says that bloated ego of his trips him up again.

At least this time around he'll be pitted against people who are actually interesting. I'm hoping CBS doesn't let his stuff hog all the airtime this time around.

He does have Rupert to compete with. And on his own tribe, the ever so interesting Coach. I still think the villians tribe is going to be a riot to watch.

I think Russell is just trying to play the tough guy. He's going to have an uphill battle this time, not only if he has the same attitude and gameplay as last time, but he's the only Samoa Survivor and they may boot him because they know nothing about him.

The others don't know how Russell played the last time, this is going to be his advantage. I hope this time he does not run the whole show, Samoa is too much for me.

There's way too many other big personalities for that to happen.

I hope so. I gave up on last season after a couple of episodes of "The Russell Show."

I have to come back to this quote for a second time, because it helps pose a pretty important question about this shnook...

Okay, so he clearly doesn't respect ANYBODY in the game, and he clearly never has. And yet, he had a complete temper tantrum when the Samoan jury didn't respect him and how hard he played the game.

Does this strike anybody out there as unbelievably hypocritical? I think even Forrest Gump would say that respect is as respect does.

I. for one, am glad to see Russell back I hope he makes it to the finale and the jury isn't made out of putzes like it was last season. Then again, there are a lot of contestants back that I quite like so...regardless, I hope he makes it far.

[CuckoosNest]

...regardless, I hope he makes it far.

Really? I hope people ("putzes" or not) continue to treat him like he treats others.

It's different to respect or disrespect people when you are still playing the game. When you're on the jury, you're supposed to vote for who played the game the best, not for who you respect most.
