Russell, your days are numbered! The latest "Survivor: Samoa" proved that even the most evil, strategic players (like the scary oil company owner with the serial-killer glint in his eyes) aren't immune. Even with the immunity idol hidden in your pocket.  Russell Hantz, the slicker-than-slick oil company man who found the hidden immunity idol in the bottom of a hollow tree trunk in the Foa Foa camp, has been officially de-idolized. When the tribes merged at the beginning of the episode, he was all plans and tricks and strategies, but they backfired once he was shockingly stupid enough to show off his precious commodity. Even though Erik the loudmouth got blindsided, Russell's last-minute insecurities led him to hand over his idol to Jeff Probst, who took it with his usual bemused look. Now, the only thing Russell has to fear is, well, the next tribal council. Aiga, the new name for the merged tribe members, means "extended family" in Samoan. Ironic choice in names, given that the "family" is only going to get smaller with each vote. And I guess that family is going to be minus a Russell next time around, eh? Things are either just getting interesting, or the most interesting character is about to get the boot. Here's hoping there's more intrigue than Mr. Hantz to come.... Hey, it was just worth it to watch them all eat chicken. And those little mini-meringue tarts. A true banquet in honor of the brutality to come, perhaps? LAST UPDATE BY EMILYBR AT 11/5/2009 11:20:36 PM ABOUT THE SUPERFAN Emily Russin  Emily Russin is an unapologetic television addict whose formative years included writing rampant fan mail to the cast of "Zoom," as well as a particular fondness for early reality shows like "Candid Camera" and "Real People."Emily comes from a family of television addicts, and counts among her inspirations her younger brother, who honed his chops by watching the tube for hours after the late-night bars of color came on. After a brief detox---during which her mother banished the set to the basement---Emily resumed her habit, and it continues unabated today. But she's committed to keeping it real, and in the semi-scripted world of reality TV she's found no reason to stop now. When she's not tackling her TiVo, Emily writes about television for MSN. She's also a former managing editor of Seattle Weekly, has written about the arts and entertainment for Seattle Weekly and the Seattle Times, and has worked as a freelance editor. Emily has one daughter who, despite her mother's best efforts, loves the Disney Channel. And yes, for the record: Emily does, in fact, read a book once in a while. She grew up, lives, and blogs in Seattle with her husband, daughter and maltipoo.
