HTTR Forever.
I don't know how many people who watched this season of Survivor, but I just watched Sunday's finale and reunion show and I have to say this is the first time that the result was actually quite annoying.
There has never been a better player on this show than Russel. He found three hidden immunity idols without a single clue, manipulated his initial tribe (Foa Foa) into doing exactly what he wanted, and then got Shambo to defect from Galu and eliminated their entire tribe with the exception of Brett who kept winning individual immunity.
From the very beginning, Russel played this game like no one ever had. He made his own tribe miserable by doing things like dumping out water at night and burning Jaison's socks. He used their discomfort to manipulate them. Natalie and Mick were just along for the ride, two people who accomplished nothing in the entire game. Russel had it set up perfectly. Himself against two people who rode his coattails and did whatever he told them to do in the finale.
So what happens? The jury, realizing the Russel made them all look stupid from the word go, played the game better than anyone ever had in 19 seasons, gave the win to Natalie. That is just a new level of sour grapes. Russel was the overwhelming choice for Player of the Game in the online poll. Natalie and Mick weren't even in the top three. So Russel got $100,000 out of that. (But he doesn't need the money, he owns a farking oil company). Just rather annoying that the best player the game had ever seen got screwed out of the title because the jury was ashamed of how bad they got beat.
***Spoiler alert for those who DVR'd the finale***
