"And even then, this brings me to another, really excellent point made by another fan on another Survivor fanpage; the "Almost There" curse. The theory that the absolute BEST players in the entire season never actually win. The winner is simply the best one left after most of the other, stronger ones have been eliminated, and the absolute strongest one is booted RIGHT before the FTC; Rudy in Borneo, Rob C in Amazon, Jonny FairPlay in Pearl Islands, Yau-Man in Fiji, Ozzy in South Pacific, Malcolm in Philippines...the list goes on and on. I'd point to this last season as the best example - Natalie A definitely was NOT the best player this season (heck, even she HERSELF admitted on Twitter that she considers herself a "non-factor for most of the season"); by the edits and the buildup, it seems that either Jeremy or Josh could've been the season's mastermind, but of course, that wasn't meant to be. Even Cochran in Caramoan, arguably, as great as he was, might've lost a jury vote to Malcolm, or possibly even Phillip (who WAS the alliance leader). Therefore, actively trying to be the best player strategically, socially, physically, etc. will most likely get you booted, except the rare cases like Tony, Tyson, and Kim."

Okay, there is some logic in that, but how is that have to do with Russell? He lost the jury vote, nobody gets robbed on a jury vote. The one who deserves to win -- is the one who won. Lol at Ozzy being good player, the rest you mentioned were good and they were all taken out because they were good players, does that mean they deserved to win? No.

Natalie A. was by far the best player of the season... granted, the season had many idiots, but she needed everything she could have done to get to the end with two goats, so by definition, she deserevd it. lol at Cochran losing to Phillip at the jury vote.

The Fan Favorite doesn't mean anything, whoever made the biggest moves doesn't mean much, the jury votes is the one thing that means the most.

Look, Samoa was the first season you watched so of course you would think Russell would win -- but he didn't and that's completely fair because he was a di**.
