[quote name='powercreep']Well, Russell probably is the best player to never win. His first season, he was robbed. Hate him or not, they guy did everything it took to win. The jury, rather than voting for the best player, voted for who didn't hurt their feelings; some chick whose name is forgotten by everyone.
In his second season, he made a few mistakes most importantly was not getting Sandra out of there. He had opportunities, but he didn't take them. I think he underestimated her.
But yeah, those 1st timers should just vote out him and Rob first chance they get. They'd be stupid not to.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. He totally got robbed in his first season. They edited those episodes so that he had about 75% screen time. He did everything right except kissing everybody's ass, and that's usually all it takes to win. Namelessgirl who won his season did that in spades.
As far as all-stars went, they'd be stupid not to vote out former winners. If Russel's 2nd season wasn't filmed back-to-back and everybody saw how he played in his 1st, he would have been gone immediately.
I bet these stupid newbies will keep them around forever. Sometimes I wonder if contestants have even watched 1 episode of the show. Probably not, because all the new contestants seem to be recruits.
