What’s Hot On TV Tonight – Survivor Again

I just have to highlight Survivor yet again. Russell has basically been the whole show the past three weeks. He’s completely making the whole season, despite being a little sluggish for a few weeks. He now has everyone so paranoid that he’ll find another hidden immunity on his own, that they literally spend all their time watching him and following him to prevent him from finding it. That’s great, but in the process of wasting that time, other things are going to slip through. Even if he doesn’t find it, they won’t have time to strategize on what to do if he does or doesn’t, and still in the back of their mind will be the question if he somehow found it without them.
