I think they should have made him fear enough to play the idol but then voted out Shannon. It would have neutered his power, and it's not like he could cut a deal and keep around Brett or Monica as they would be colossal jury threats.

Still don't really like anyone so it's hard to have a rooting interest in the show this time around.

It took me a couple minutes to figure out who the hell you were talking about :lol:

Speaking of names, why does Jeff always insist on calling Dave "Dave Ball"? There has been only one Dave this entire game.

What was up with "Danger" Dave? I never even heard mention of that until he was voted out. Maybe we'll get an explanation at the reunion.

This dude is defo playing the hardest but he was an idiot for ever telling anyone he is a Millionare.

Despite Jaison and Mick tucking away their you know what one of those dudes or Natalie will win in the end.

After a strategic nothing like Bob won Gabon it is proven anyone can win so long as they dont piss off jurors.

Or was it one of his best moves yet? They are getting down to the point where they have to vote off one another and Russell is obviously the biggest target. Now with this "secret" out there, people may think they can beat him in the final because no one will vote for someone that already has that kind of money. Therefore, they want to take Russell to the end to secure (or so they think) a win.

I think Russell's secret was never a secret, but just another one of his 10 steps ahead of everyone strategies. I wouldn't even be surprised if it was all another one of his lies, for this exact purpose.

If he actually wanted that info out there he would not have completely lost it for a while and gone apeshit on Natalie and Jaison.

I wasn't surprised about Monica getting voted especially with her stirring the pot.

But, even though I'm rooting for Russell to pull this out, I thought he's getting a little too cocky now, especially busting out the immunity idol and rubbing it in everyone's faces. He is such a good smooth talker and manipulator.

Yeah, the nickname Danger Dave or whatever the hell it was is stupid.

I'm the same way every week when someone mentions Brett.

It's his nickname. Maybe self given, who knows?

Am I the only one who's creeped out by Dave? He gives out a Charles Manson vibe.

You're definitely not alone on that one.

Was Danger Dave wearing a sarong to the second tribal?

You're right about that. Geesh.

If next tribal is indeed the last opportunity for Russell to use the idol, then why wouldn't they force him to use it this week just to flush it out if nothing else. Instead they give him a automatic free pass at the next tribal?

Being the stupidest, no-game-at-all pool of survivors ever may have something to do with it.

Is it the last time he can use it? In previous seasons it could be used when there were 5 left. But maybe that was before they have had the final 3 at the end. Jaison said it could be used until day 36 I think, does anyone remember what day the most recent tribal council was?

My guess is he is an oil man the likes of this guy:

On what day did Brett join the game? It looks like he only has two days growth of hair on his face.

Don't forget that his team was cruising before the merge. I'm sure he had opportunities to shave from all those reward challenges they won.

Agreed. I couldn't believe they didn't at least try to get him to flush it out. Dumb butts.

I also would have found it EXTREMELY funny had he been voted off WITH the HII around his neck.
