Frankly, I think you’re right. The jury would not see it has game play by Russell - they’ll see Russell’s advancement in the game as a result of his finding so many idols. Also, it’s gotten out that Russell’s rich, and although it shouldn’t matter in the course of a game, the jury will be reluctant to give him $1 million for what they perceive as a lucky streak.
And sorry, Shampoo can’t go fast enough for me. I find her histrionics annoying.
Don’t get me wrong, I can’t stand Shambo...
But Russell would be best off with her and Natalie beside him at the Final Three... IMHO
Why all the animosity toward Shambo? I actually liked her and wanted her to win. She was treated horribly by her tribe from the beginning of the game because she didn’t fit into the girly girl atmosphere created by the other women on the tribe. She served her country, which no one else on that tribe did. I found her to be the most genuine of anyone out there, though I have also gained respect for Natalie. I watched the Ponderosa videos of Shambo this morning to see how the Galu women treated her and, true to form, they wouldn’t even talk to her. Shame on them.
