I don't think Russell's one of the better players the game has seen because all of his big moves are really stupid when you look at them and weren't as amazing as he made them seem. I am being 100% truthful that Russell is not in my top 100 and it's not just because of a bias or anything, it's because he really is not a good player.
No, the reason many internet Survivor fans hate Russell is because he has no respect for the game, and took up way too much screen time, making the editing for Samoa and HvV simply atrocious. Considering that Russell had 108 confessionals throughout Samoa and Natalie only had 15, obviously they didn't show nearly everything Natalie did, which is why everyone thinks she was a bad winner - because the editing was just about Russell, so if anyone won other than Russell people would say he was a bad winner. And it doesn't matter how strategically well you played (which Russell didn't even do) if everyone hates you, because that's been a factor in Survivor from season 1. Natalie definitely deserved to win, as did Sandra.
And I'm not giving into what CBS wants. CBS wants us to love Russell and think he's the best player ever, since all the casual fans think that whoever gets shown the most deserves to win. Suddenly since Russell was shown, backstabbing is okay and just a part of the game, but when people did that before it was such a sin.

Uh, yes you are giving into it. If they wanted him to be the new Rupert then he would have gotten an entirely positive edit in Samoa. And although I do think they're trying to promote him being one of the bests, if not the best, he's still in the same category as someone like Jonny Fairplay...who is not a favorite at all. Just a notorious character.
And if he truly is in your top 100 players then you should probably re-evaluate that list.
He made moves based on what could get him to the end (at least in Samoa), that's one half of the goal of the game. I don't know how ousting his competitors and finding Idols were 'stupid' moves.
Doesn't show respect to the game of Survivor? Err....what?
No, internet fans, especially Sucksters, just complain that he got such a big edit in Samoa and have an embedded hate for him so whenever someone wants to debate something about him, it effects their entire opinion. Because you dislike Russell, you convince yourself that he played REALLY ****ty. Worse than 1st boots! Worse than Erik Reichenbach! But it's not the case. He's in the Top 15 best, I'd say, hands down.
