Yes act like a player who went to finals twice in back to back seasons sucks.
Boston Rob had a numbers advantage in HvV and Russell still beat him when they went head to head. He did the same thing in Samoa where is tribe was down 4-8 at the merge. Russell was a great player, do I think he is the greatest ever? No, not at all. His social game sucks, but he is a good strategist and manipulator.
