If he was the best, he would have at least gotten a jury vote. Sandra and Parvati DESTROYED him in vote numbers in heroes vs villains and neither of them were good! Russel sucked when it came to making friends and we all know it.
He only made it to the finals the second time because no one knew what he was capable of. They were filmed back to back. And rob made it to the finals twice as we'll. he actually WON once.
Boston Rob. He has an incredible ability to make friends no matter what the scenario. He builds a shelter with ease and is probably the best strategic player the game has ever seen.
