“Damn, really?” Russell Hantz said in reaction to the news. “Ialways thought that Jeff Probst didn’t care about me anymore, but here I am proving the haters wrong once again! This just proves thatSurvivorneeds to give America a percentage of the vote for Sole Survivor, otherwise the ratings will get ‘swamped’ (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine, RH.”

“Remember, kids; always keep hope alive and someday,you, too, can become the greatestSurvivorplayer in history! Make Survivor Great Again!”
