I turned it off as soon as they read the votes. It reminds me why I stopped watching survivor.

Where are the people who were talking about Russ not being the clear winner if he made it to the finals because this is a social game?
Personally, I hate Russell. But he was, by far, the most deserving player. Unlike when Survivor made it the Coach season last time, I hated how it was the Russell season. But this guy backed it up and wasn't insane like Coach.
These were stupid players, though, and most of them didn't even play the game. They sat around and let things happen and seemingly had no clue how to play or what was even happening, while Russell made things happen.
Over and over again, the juries have proven to be terrible on Survivor. Obviously, I don't know what it's like to be blind-sided or hang around with someone cocky for a long period of time, but I know enough to give the win to the person who deserved it...despite my personal feelings.
Every season I've looked at the stronger people who win challenges, then the those who use the best strategy, and lastly the social aspect in determining the winner. Going back to season 1, I felt it Kelly really deserved to win because she won challenges with her butt on the line over and over. She did what Brett failed to do, when he lost the last challenge.
Bitter jury syndrome is the very worst part of the game of Survivor and really reflects poorly on the people who played. But they were idiots during the game, so I'm not terribly surprised that they were idiots when deciding a winner.

Erik's vote for Natalie was one of the most confusing...he always seemed to be applauding Russell's blind-sides and happy that his former tribe was getting picked off. Then all of a sudden it's about being a nice person at the end?

I just hope there are very few of the "coattail riders" next season. The villains probably won't have any, but I just hope the heroes are guys like Rupert and Ethan and not Sandra and Natalie.

I agree, it seemed like Russell was going to win. Till Erik made that dumb as speech in the end.

I think David Bell is the other person that voted for Russell beside Shambo. All the others are whining bitches. Jaisonm Erik and Kelly are the 3 biggest piece of shit.

Yea, Erik's vote for Natalie was odd. There is no way in hell Natalie deserves the win. The ONLY good move she made was alligning herself with Russell.

Definitely a GILF.
I don't get all the hate for Nat's win. You can't manipulate that many people and not expect it to bite you in the ass. Russell turned out to be a little cry baby. WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Kelly came off like a huge bitch. And both Jaison and Erik were whining little girls.

But they whine for getting played and loosing, rather than respecting his game.

You guys are killing me tonight. It's as if you've never watched this show before.
If anyone cares to know the cast of Heroes vs. Villains...

Oh we've watched it, it's just that a vast majority of the time despite their acting like babies, the jury ends up voting the most deserving person as the winner. This jury just held childish grudges longer than most.
