Survivor Samoa starts tonight and already there is a villian to despise. His name is Russell Hantz, he's an oil company owner from Dayton, Texas and he's definitely going to stir up some drama this season.
CBS released 2 quick clips of this dirt-ball being a jackass in the beginning of the show. They are calling him the evil genius but I don't see anything genius about this guy so far. It is said that he will be the most hated person by the second or third episode but we're pretty sure he's secured that title already.
If nothing else, Russell should spice things up this season - which is most likely why CBS cast him in the first place.
In addition to Evil Russell, there's another controversial contestant this season. Her name is Shannon and she's already insisted the other contestants call her Shambo. Bossy - we like her already.
CBS has dubbed Shambo as the loud, obnoxious contestant who's not afraid to get in peoples faces. Should be interesting to see how Shambo and this Russell interact with one another.
All in all, it's shaping up to be a pretty dramatic season. We can't wait!
The season premiere of Survivor Samoa airs tonight at 8 on CBS.
Do you think Evil Russell has what it takes to win this season?
