It wasn't stupid because Russell is good at the challenges, he's alright but nit crucial to winning. It was stupid because they gave up a vote when they were only up 2 people, if they didn't do that, I guarantee that the winner of Redemption Island is a member of Zapatera.
@SecretAgent079 If Matt had worked with them, they still would have progressed. They could have continued if he hadn't lost himself the game. You think Russell would have been a vote with them post merge? Lmao.
@ApricotOfLove What the fuck are you talking about, I said it was a bad move to throw the challenge becasue they lost a member who they could have used as a sheild, and keep from having to vote out one of their own. Why did you bring Matt into this? I do think Russell would side with them over his rival Boston Rob.
@SecretAgent079 Are you crazy? Seriously? The guy would not have any allies, he would not give them a vote, he wouldn't even keep the girls safe if he didn't need to. The point is, nutcase, that they wouldn't need that membe they lost if Matt voted with them.
@ApricotOfLove I'm not saying they should've kept Russell, I think they should have won the challenge, and voted him out two challenges later when they lost, then Stephenie and Krista the following episodes. They would've had 6-5 plus Matt going into the merge, and would probably end up having a Zapatera winning
Can someone else chime in? I am cleary correct here.
@SecretAgent079 No you're really not and that's pretty sad if you need other people to defend you when this is a conversation between you and I. I don't need a gang of people to tell me what theory they think would have worked. Bottom line is they did what they thought was right, and simply just couldn't win the next challenges. I'm rather happy they lost because they could remain friends as seen in extras, rather than eating eachother up, for example Rob + Grant.
@ApricotOfLove I'm glad in came back to bite them in the ass at the end, but you're comment just contradicted your original point, THEY MADE A BAD MOVE. Zapatera was right in voting off Russell, but not in throwing the challenge.
@SecretAgent079 What are you talking about? Are you okay? Risky move and bad move are DIFFERENT THINGS. Holy crap. Internet people know nothing about risks and pay off versus simply throwing away the game, eg Tyson, Erik, etc.
To me i felt this season was sumwhat rigged. Russell seemed 2 get the "smart" people on his tribe who knew wat he was like so they voted him off early tho throwing the challenge was stupid. Rob got the dumbest tribe ever so it was easy 4 him to have total control
Zapatera wasn't dumb for doing that. They won the next challenge, so Russel being gone didn't really seem to hinder them. The challenges were close, there was no gaping hole left. Besides, they never had to turn on eachother and that's great :)
I don't known if Francesca and Kristina's move was a dumb one, how were they to know Phillip is an idiot?
Also, I don't see how Julie made a dumb move by confessing she hid the shorts... surely the Ometepe Six didn't all, simultaneously made p their mind to vote her out just then, at TC? :P

I agree, i don't think they were necessarily dumb making that move, Phillips a lunatic! Them trusting him that early, maybe stupid yes.
Zapatera throwing challenge - dumb
Matt telling ROb his plans - DUMB!
Julie - well i thought it was funny hehe
