Russell was a great player. I say was because it will be impossible for him to duplicate his success unless he is placed on a tribe that has never seen Survivor. If he had been even a tiny bit kind to his tribe (ie had a social game at all) he would have won Samoa 9-0-0 (he still should have won - I actually consider him the winner, Natalie is the second most worthless winner ever). His lack of a social game was even more evident on Heroes vs. Villains and he got no votes as a result (a deserved outcome). I never really got invested in him on Redemption Island because I knew he would be out right away - his tribe should not have lost on purposes to get rid of him, but assuming they ever went to Tribal he was the obvious first vote off. Russell should never play again because unless he is put on a tribe with 8 people who have never heard of him or he is given a map to a pile of hidden immunity idols, his fate will always be the same. He was simply too good and has become too famous to ever be allowed to get far in the game ever again.
