One Of Russell’s Vixens Goes To Redemption Island

Last night’s “Survivor Redemption Island” had all the usual drama as what is being called by many Russell’s Vixens fought for survival as outsiders on their tribe. A interesting choice by their tribe was to let both so called ‘Russell’s Vixens’ Krista Klumpp and Stephanie Valencia go to watch the ‘Redemption Island Challenge.’ The tribe figured that both would be going home soon so what damage could they do which turned out to be a mistake. In the challenge Matt went up against Kristina Kell who was send there last week in tribal council. Matt won the challenge again for a third street win and Kristina Kell was sent packing. Russell’s Vixens then told Rob that there was a six person alliance on their team and they were both on the outside. The information and the fact they offered themselves if they survive until the merge to Rob’s alliance was big for Rob. Rob’s tribe then went out to win the ‘Immunity Challenge’ and Stephanie was blamed as she lost a head to head puzzle challenge with Rob the master of puzzles. At tribal council it looked like Stephanie would be going home but then Krista called out the alliance saying which members were closest to each other hoping to cause friction in the alliance. As the tribe votes were shown Krista was the one voted to be sent to Redemption Island I don’t know if her comments switched the vote from Stephanie I guess we will find out next week. The one person that I do want to go home is former Federal agent Phillip Sheppard who walks around in bright pink underwear he is wacky but if that visual was gone from the show it would be a plus.

Russell Leaves The Island

On last night’s “Survivor Redemption Island” super villain Russell Hantz finally left the island as he lost his Redemption Island challenge against Matt who won his second challenge in a row to stay in the game. The challenge was basically a big game of dominoes and in a sea saw battle Russell left the game on a challenge loss. After his loss Russell broke down in tears with emotion and said he will never play the game that’s it, which personally I think he would change his mind and be back if he had a chance. After an emotional few minutes the old Russell kicked in as he lashed out at his tribe tell the opposition the leaders in his tribe and getting Ralph to basically say he had an idol; Ralph tried to backtrack on his idol comment but it was too late no one believed he didn’t’ have it at that point. Russell will be missed by us at The Television Beat and we hope the fact his team threw the challenge to get him out comes back to bite them.

"Survivor Redemption Island" Twist

If you haven’t heard about the new twist for the new season of “Survivor” called “Survivor Redemption Island” here are the details; now when a survivor gets voted off instead of leaving the game they will go to a separate area called Redemption Island where they will live on the same rations as they rest of the survivors. The survivor will remain there until the next survivor is voted off and joins them at this time the two of them will have a duel with the winner staying on Redemption Island. These battles will continue as every tribe member gets voted off until later in the season whoever is on Redemption Island at that time will have a chance to re-enter the game. This is an interesting twist but most likely the person going back in towards the end of the game would get voted out soon but it is a clever twist.

Russell & Rob Look For Redemption

It was recently announced that Boston Rob (Rob Mariano) and Russell Hantz will return for the next edition of “Survivor” which is called “Survivor Redemption Island” and is the 22^nd season of the show. On the last season of “Survivor” Ron and Russell clashed with Rob coming out on the losing side of the clash; This rivalry continued in the reunion show at the end of the season. This is the third time for both of them on Survivor with Russell competing in an amazing three in a row. I’m a big Russell fan and would love to see him win but he won’t as he won’t get the votes from the others but either way he will be entertaining. I wasn’t a fan of Robs and, he used to annoy me but over time my opinion has softened. Both of these veterans will be on separate tribes to start with and the question is how long they will last in the game? My guess is they will stay around for a while but at some point their tribes will see them as threats and get rid of them but I guess we will have to wait until next month to find out.
