Alex95 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Tony is not Russell at all for the simple fact that Tony won and Russell didn't. That's the most important thing about both of them. People still like Tony, he has strong relationships with all his castmates to this day. No one likes Russell. Tony didn't go out of his way to mock people, he just played the game hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex95 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 How is Tony slimier than Russell? Tony just built dumbass spy shacks and spoke llama to people. Russell literally burned socks and pretended he lost his house to Hurricane Katrina...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also said that Tony had strong relationships with most of his cast mates. By the reunion it seemed he was close with everybody besides Sarah. My issue is that the edit did absolutely everything to paint him as the most untrustworthy player, but did nothing in the way of showing him building his relationships. The edit felt very lopsided in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just how I interpreted him while on the show. Tony just gives me slimy guy vibes and I found him pretty douchey. I totally forgot about the Hurricane Katrina moment though. Most of my memory of Samoa is repressed. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have extremely overbearing edits and rely on their strategic games to get ahead. But by all accounts, Tony is 100x a better person than Russell, and look no further than the jury votes to prove that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I mentioned that there were many Tony moments that I considered stan-worthy. Him receiving nearly every single vote while Russell could not muster up more than two total across his two final appearances speaks volumes on the impact Russell's behavior had on his fellow players versus Tony's impact. For sure. I just see a ton of similarities in the gameplay, the showboating, the overbearing edits, etc. I think I just found Tony more genuine, which is why his moments of buffoonery were more bothersome than Russell's - who I could not take seriously at all.  Totally forgot about the Hurricane Katrina moment which is reprehensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
