WORST JURY VOTE EVER!!!!
even superseeded the 1 where Boston Rob was robbed in favor of Amber.....hey Jury members...its a GAME...THE REASON YOUR ON THE JURY IS BECAUSE YOU WHERE OUTWITTED AND OUTPLAYED....get over it....votes to Natalie were simply a vote against Russell.

Russell outwitted and outplayed everyone from day 1 and even outlasted Brett in the final immunity challenge when it counted the most. Note to the producers, go back to a final two, not three..makes for better TV and much more drama with 2, head to head, than 3. Also makes survivor more interresting watching the final Immunity challenge winner debate on who to take with him or her. With this jury it didnt matter, no matter who Russell took with him, they would have voted against him. I wont say Russell was the best player ever, he certainally changed how the game is played and should go down as 1 of the five best. no doubt he was the most entertaining of all time. Oh, also lose the "remembering the players" at the end....LAME.

even the questions from the jury where lame, except from shambo who summed it up perfectly...ie..."mick? wow dude you got to be kidding me" and Natalie.."I'm calling major B.S."...perfect!!!!

Kelly, who cares what people are like outside of the GAME...vote on how they played the game, speaking of that, you not believing Russell when he said in RL hes, honest, etc...does that mean in real life your nasty and hatefull to other middle aged women that arent as beautiful as you?
Laura, I think you where the most conceded player ever, your question at tribal council was all about YOU and IMHO you developed one of the biggest egos and were the bitter ist of all because you were outwitted and outplayed.

Erik, what a stupid statement....what distinguished players was merely arbitrary, and the least deserving player is the most deserving? Idiot!!

Jasion...i think what you meant to say was...dont look at who needs the money, look who played the better game....but then you vote for Natalie..lol

Dave, your exit clip showed you saying Russell was born to play this game and outplayed everyone...yet you voted for natalie...lame again.

the only flaw in Survivor is the jury, when they are bitter and have hurt egos, a person can dominate and do everything they can, but in the end, if the jury simply refuses to see reason, there is nothing you can do...Russell only flaw was his expecting the jury to vote logically and not emotionally. In the end, jealously and the inability of the jury to see this was a game overcame good gameplay.

the reunion show was pretty good too, thanks to Russell, and him tossing a pair of socks in the fire was priceless....another priceless moment or moments was watching the jury members faces everytime the audience cheered for Russell and when he won the 100K.....I think they came on the show with the feeling that everyone hated Russell and they would be appauled for NOT giving him the million bucks...instead they looked and came off like the bitter, jealous people they where.....

last but not least..kudos to Russell for telling the jury at tribal like it was!!!....oh yes, Natalie, in her own words..."I deserve the million dollars because, before the show, everyone said I couldnt do it"...yeah, lets give her the money...thats a good reason to give her the money.
ALL IN ALL A GOOD SEASON THANKS TO SHAMBO AND RUSSELL
