Survivor: Natalie crushes the Poison Dwarf

Natalie Russell Large 1

Who would you have voted for if you were on the Samoan jury? If I'd been in the game I would have voted for Natalie (so long as I hadn't heard her whole "prayer-warrior" thing) but as a viewer I would have voted for the poison dwarf Russell.

Exactly as things turned out during Monday's finale marathon that was stuffed with the usual raging jury, overly made-up Reunion Show faces and a devastated Russell. Poor him, ha! He was so crushed it looked as if he'd been weeping for days already. He obviously suspected he hadn't won because he seemed to know already, before the votes were read.

I'm thinking there may have been communication between the Survivors while the show was on or that he worked it out when he thought about the final Tribal Council in the time in between. It was clear that he got deflated during the final moments of the jury questions, realising just how deluded he'd been.

Of course his downfall was because he was so rubbish at the social game - he genuinely seemed to think that nobody would have an issue with him, duh! His biggest mistake was his arrogant assumption that he'd won and the way he wielded his attitude from the start.

Will he change his strategy when he plays again? ... he'll be back for Heroes vs Villains when it starts next week (yay!) - as a Hero. Not. He's a villain through and through and will be on the Villains team, alongside our arch nemesis Coach, who makes a scumback too.

For a peak at which Survivors return as Heroes and who'll be back as Villains, check out: Heroes Vs Villains Cast.

You've probs been wondering what happened to Brett and Jaison when they got to Ponderosa - wonder no more ... these be their vids:

Tashi, do you have the videos of the jurors discussing the final tribal council and who they're going to vote for?

Which speaks to the poor edit. If we'd gotten a better edit of his mistakes and social cluelessness or a Coach-like buffoon edit rather than the untouchable villain edit he got, us viewers would have had a more realistic picture of what those people who had to live with him already knew.

Russel lost from day one because he was making enemies with everyone.....by backstabbing forgetting they are the ones voting in the end. 

i think Survivor is scripted and have actually lost interest in watching it.

One of the worst jury votes ever, that jury was just bitter that Russel outplayed them. Had it not been for Russell....Survivor Samoa would have been a bore

I don't Clouds - thanks for the headsup! I didn't know vids exist of this too - very interesting - I'm gonna investigate and I'll definitely put them up next season. *thumbs up*.
