What’s Hot On TV Tonight – Evil Russell’s In Trouble

Despite the fact that Good Russell has been medically evacuated from Survivor: Samoa for several weeks now, it’s hard to not still think of the other Russell as Evil, isn’t it? Sure, he hasn’t been up to the shenanigans of the first few weeks, but we still remember it. And with Jeff Probst saying at the beginning of the season that we’d see the most evil player ever, there has to be more on the horizon.  He looks to be in trouble this week after he gave up his Idol last week, but he has to have more up his sleeve. He has to!
