Survivor: Redemption Island Rob and Russell thoughts

Well, I promised it, and I'm delivering.

Russell - I might be in the minority, but I don't think that he' in that bad of a position. Yes, the guys (specifically David) are suspicious of him. At the same time, so long as he doeesn't ruffle feathers, he might be able to get them to vote out weak players, and then sneak into the merge. At that point, he's back in the game, with an alliance of 2. Not that horrible of a spot at all. Of course, this assumes that he's not going to cause any waves at camp. Sadly, I'm reminded of the story of the Scorpion and the Frog.

Boston Rob - He's in a great position to make it to the merge, which is all he wants. An alliance of 6 this early in the game? One heck of a start to the season. Of course, there's one small catch - the one person who attempted to target him has a not-so-hidden immunity idol, and is kinda smart. Which means that the vote gets to be split yet again, with Phillip likely to be the unfortunate target. If he can get rid of Kristina, he's going to go far in the game.
