Russell - Philippines (returnee)

http://oi45.tinypic.com/adf2v5.jpg

Name (Age): Russell Swan (45)

Previous Seasons: “Survivor: Samoa”

Previous Finish: Medical evacuation due to Dehydration. I fainted multiple times during a challenge. Jeff Probst has described this as, “the scariest moment I’ve ever had on the show.”

Tribe Designation: Matsing

Current Residence: Glenside, Penn.

Occupation: Environmental Attorney

Personal Claim to Fame: Being a good Dad.

Inspiration in Life: My dad because he was a very ordinary guy, but a damn good dad. He really loved his family and was a perfect example of what a husband should be to his wife, and what a dad should be to his child.

Hobbies: Riding my motorcycle, mountain biking and skiing.

Pet Peeves: I hate whiners, materialistic people and generally people who are full of crap.

3 Words to Describe You: Energetic, optimistic and focused.

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why? I would bring my “Terrible Towel” because I’m an avid Steelers fan and I’m always looking for converts. That’s it!

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: First, the game kicked my butt and I want payback. Second, I want to show people that failure doesn’t always mean the end.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I bring strength for the physically demanding challenges. I’m cunning – I know how to get my way without being overly confrontational. And, I have a sense of humor. I love making people laugh.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: Because I’ve already tried the failure route. I’m gonna take a different path and win this time!

Survivor Cast: Russell

For once, I like all the returnees.

I liked him the first time and I'm glad he's back.

I liked him too. It will be interesting to see if he is still as good as I remember when he isn't being compared to "the other Russell"

I liked him too. It was scary to watch him pass out during that challenge. I hope he lasts longer this time around. :)

I like him as well.I think this was The most scariest momenet for me on this show,When his eyes rolled back, even Jeff looked very very concerned. I thought the guy was dying.Anyway I am glad he is back!

When I saw his name I screamed WHAT?!?!?! but now that I see that he's the good Russell, I'm calm now! LOL!

lol I was wondering if anyone was going to think for a second that it was Hantz.

Yes, good Russell vs. bad Russell on the same season. I'd forgotten he was an environmental attorney, if I ever knew. Glad he's back....as everyone has said, good choices, Survivor PTB!

I hate to ask this, but is there anyway that we can rename this thread to something like "Good Russell" or put the initial of his last name behind his name? I hate to say it but everytime I see the name "Russell" in this Survivor thread it gives me the willies!
