Russhole will be captain of one team and Rob the other. Both "supposedly" will have immunity until they merge
That is just plain wrong. That seriously impacts an individual's strategy. There is no other choice BUT to be aligned with the group leader. They will be calling all the shots. It just changes the dynamic of the entire premise of the show.

Yeah, not liking this. It is a consistent trend with all these reality shows: Hollywood cannot resist trying to add a little star power of some sort, tinkering with the formula, messing with things. It's like a cook that doesn't know when to just shut the hell up, put the food in the oven, set the timer and go play Donkey Dong or Mario until the timer goes off.

Just proves my point that Hollywood is like government. The concept can be great, needing no adjustments, and some producer will be unable to resist 'changing it up' until they ruin it.

Although, if he behaves that way, he may lose them early. Imagine the DR: "Ah dono whah they ain't lissnen'ta me, Don't them kids know Ah'm the great Russhole Hantz? Especially them girls, silly girls. Now they all just anorin' me, an' they all goin' home. They saposta do jus' what Ah say so Ah can position mahself'ta win. They saposta be good li'l drones an' they ain't! They also told me when the merge comes, Ah'm history. Well, since Ah ain't no virgin, we'll just see about that."

What I had to do in my mind to type that was not a good idea just after eating Christmas dinner. However, I may be able to keep it down.

Wow, that is a pretty impressive imitation! I think Russell is intriguing, the way he can manipulate people so much, maybe he has learned something about honey attracting more bees than vinegar in the meantime...

Ah, go, j_k_k is our resident Russhole impersonator! He's had us in stitches for seasons 19 and 20. Or was it 20 and 21??

Naaah, Russell will NEVER learn social skills. He's fine just the way he is in his mind.

If anyone hasn't read this article yet about Russhole then you need to, this is an interesting article about him and his outlook on life.

Russell Hantz: “I control every aspect of my life: … my family, … my job, even my friends”...

..........that dude is a freak......he's super freaky.
He contradicts himself when he says:“I didn’t ask to be the villain. This is is me. This is exactly how I am as a person. Except, you know, I’m a loving husband and father, I’m a business man. I wouldn’t steal nothing from nobody, but you gotta realize, this is a game,” he said. And in that game, “somebody’s quttin’ on my season. If I can make one person quit, obviously I’ve done my job. If somebody gets hurt and quits, I’m happy. If somebody gets sick and quits, I’m happy,” Russell said, because his odds will improve.

Seriously I think he's a danger to himself and the public in general. I think the dude is psychotic.
