Ok...there is no doubt Russel can play the game. However, so can everyone else (that's why they're there). But the only reason they're playing him up and making him seem like he's calling the shots is because he was on the most recent season.
They are trying to push "the next greatest survivor" onto audiences, and of course when he's the only one they show, it works. However, his gameplay is the only one that has not been witnessed by other players, so he automatically has an advantage. But, there are so many other key people in this game whose gamplay are rarely shown. The reason being is that they wanna push their "king" on everyone.
There are people who have played this game and understand every aspect of it, from physical to mental. Until I see Russel make it to the end and receive even one vote I refuse to consider him anywhere near the best.
If Courtney and Sandra make it to the merge they will probably go really far. If not then next week Courtney is definitely going next. Well if the villains manage to somehow win immunity then i think Candice is gone.
