Survivor: Samoa Epi 1 – Puppetmaster

Survivor kicks off it’s biggest season yet with 20 castaways. The tribes were preselected: Galu (purple) and Foa Foa (yellow.) Every tribe votes for their leaders based on first impressions.

Galu picks Russell

Galu leader, Russell S.

And Foa Foa picks Mick

Foa Foa's leader, Mick

They each pick the members of the team that will compete in their first comp for fire. Mick surprisingly picked Jaison to handle the swimming leg, and surprisingly he can swim!!

The brother can swim!

Foa Foa wins the challenge.

Russell H. from Foa Foa makes an alliances with each young girl. He calls it his Dumb Ass Girl Alliance. He makes an alliance with Betsy, an ex-cop, who doesn’t trust him.

A douchebag of the highest order!

Later that night, Russell tells everyone that he lived in New Orleans and lost his dog during Hurrican Katrina. He never lived in New Orleans. While everyone is sleeping, he dumps out all of the water from canteens and burns people socks. He confesses that he’s a multi-millionaire from Texas that doesn’t need the money. He’s only there to make people miserable.

What an asshole!

At Galu, Shambo is annoyed with all the talk and little action going on and she’s not impressed with Russell S’s leadership skills.

How was she in the Marines w/ hat mullet?

At the immunity challenge Galu kicks ass which is good because Foa Foa was cocky for no damn reason. You shouldn’t be so damn cocky when you have a little redneck midget pulling your strings.

Marisa makes the mistake of telling Russell H. she isn’t secure in their alliance because she sees him talking to everyone. He tells the whole tribe to vote her out.

At Tribal Council, Marisa is put on the spot and Russell H. fans the flames. She doesn’t do a good job of defending herself and is voted out.

Marisa becomes Russell's first victim.
