Boston Rob and Evil Russ - Two Peas in a Pod

I was talking to a friend of mine a couple of days ago about this season of Survivor.  Inevitably, the conversation turns to Russell Hantz - or, as I like to call him, Evil Russ!!  Mwuhahahahahahahaha!!

You either love Evil Russ or you hate him - there seems to be no in between with this guy.

Me??  I love him.  My friend??  She hates him.

But then she went on to say how much she LOVES Boston Rob and wishes he was still in the game.  Well, I wish he was still in the game too - not only because I had him in my pool, but because Boston Rob is good television (the battle between Evil Russ and Boston Rob could have been Epic).

What I found curious was why she hated Evil Russ - because he's a backstabbing scumbag who lies to everybody.  My question is, how is his game any different from Boston Rob's??

Now, I didn't see Survivor Marquesas so I don't know how Boston Rob played, but in Season 8 (All-Star's), Rob lied to everyone and backstabbed anyone that got in his way (hello Lex)!  Well, anyone and everyone except Amber that is (which I actually found quite admirable).

So I'll ask again, how is his game any different from Evil Russ'??  The answer is it's not.  The only difference is, Boston Rob is sexy, and Evil Russ is......well.......not sexy.  You do the math.

American Idol Top 7 - My really, really, really quick review!

Last night was supposed to be "Inspirational Night" on American Idol.  Well, after having watched the performances, save for Lee and Crystal, the night was anything but inspirational.

Here is my really really really quick review of what went down.

Casey James

Performance - Don't Stop by Fleetwood Mac
Result - Two words.....BO-RING.  Is it just me or is Casey starting to sound more and more like Huey Lewis every week??
------------------------------
Lee Dewyze

Performance - The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel
Result - Outstanding!!  I've been a big fan of this dude since week 1, and I have to say, this may have been his finest performance of the season.  My only question is, where were the most excellent bagpipes???
------------------------------
Tim Urban

Performance - Better Days by the Goo Goo Dolls
Result - Yikes!  Tim continues to prove that in a singing competition, as long as you look cute, you don't really have to know how to sing.
------------------------------
Aaron Kelly

Performance - I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly
Result - He believes he can sing too!  Can you say, game over??
------------------------------
Siobhan Magnus

Performance - When You Believe by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey
Result - Her vocals were incredible (as usual), but the performance lacked any, I don't know, oomph??  Methinks she needs to get back to something a little more dark - and for Gods sake, start screaming again!
------------------------------
Michael Lynche

Performance - Hero by Chad Kroeger
Result - Weird.  His vocals were good I suppose, but seeing Big Mike sing this grunge rock tune was just bizarre.
------------------------------
Crystal Bowersox

Performance - People Get Ready by The Impressions
Result - Awesome!  Just awesome!  Is there any doubt that we are headed for a Bowersox vs. Dewyze showdown at the end??

Predictions

Bottom 3 - Aaron, Tim, Big Mike
Who will go - Aaron
Who should go - Tim
