Surivor Season 19

Russell: "Nobody here is playing the game." No, Russ, nobody is playing your crazy version of the game. That's like Norman Bates at a motel owner's association meeting, complaining no one else is murdering guests.

When we rejoined our merry band of castaways, Russell's stubbly chest hair was already growing back across his pecs. He's actually kind of sexy, in a depraved backwoods psycho-perv way.

Excess seems to be the keynote, as they have given us 20 contestants this time out, most of them named "Russell." I don't ever remember watching the show and thinking, "They need more castaways."
