Better to play with me .. than against me !!
RebelRavindra7 September 2014
Warning: Spoilers
WOW.. What an episode of Survivor. This is arguably the best episode/tribal council ever. What happened after the immunity challenge and at tribal council cannot be put into words. Huge conflict going on between Rob & Russell over the immunity idol. Russell looking for the idol despite the taboo against it, he knows how powerful the idol is, Rob not knowing the significance of the idol, ignoring it.

At the immunity challenge, Jeff surprised both Heroes & Villains tribes that its a individual immunity challenge. Candice for Heroes , Boston Rob for Villains won the individual Immunity. Rob having individual Immunity and a tight alliance of 6 (Sandra, Rob, Tyson, Courtney, Jerry & Coach) put him in a power position.

Things weren't looking great for the minority alliance Russell, Parvati & Danielle. Rob wanted to vote out Parvati because she was a threat, but they all pretended its Russell. In a candid talk with Russell, Rob said "Its better to play with me.. than against me", making up that its Russell going home tonight.

Russell knew that, Rob wants to flush the idol and blindside Parvati. He came up with a plan. He wanted to give the idol to Parvati and wanted to vote for Tyson. Parvati & Danielle were left confused. Rob was skeptical about this, he changed the plan and wanted to split the vote. Sandra, Rob & Tyson vote of Russell, Courtney, Jerry & Coach will vote for Parvati making it a 3 way tie. If anyone plays an idol, the other one goes home.

Russell suspected a 3 way tie could be a genius move, he went to Tyson who hated Parvati and said he's voting for Parvati as it's not in his hands anymore. Tyson saw a great opportunity to vote out Parvati and accepted Russell's plan to switch his vote to Parvati.

At the tribal council, Sandra point blanked Russell for having an Idol, Before the votes were read, Russell played the immunity Idol on Parvati. Unaware of the changes in the plan, everyone in Rob's alliance thought Russell is going home, Tyson was speechless. When Jeff read the votes it was 4 Votes for Parvati, 2 votes for Russell & 3 votes for Tyson. Parvati's votes were negated, and Tyson was voted out.

Rob and his alliance were so surprised on what actually happened there. Tyson switching his vote to Parvati kind of eliminated himself. This was the boldest & brilliant move from Russell Hantz saving his minority alliance and making it one of the best and craziest tribal councils on Survivor

No one could've over come such a huge odds and a 3 way tie, only Russell can do that. He is brilliant.
