I remembered reading this was revealed from some crazy guy fan book.. how he spoiled Survivor and provided the best spoilers around.
I told ya all Russell was a douchebag. Great Survivor.. so what? I wouldn't be his fan or watch him on TV. Now the best case scenario would be for him to actually WIN this latest season or what then be disqualified from his win?? :lol3: :lol3: *EVILLAUGHS*

Now that you mention it, I DO recall people spoiling early on, oh evil one..
It would be funny if he won, not that he will... he would have outwitted, outlasted and outplayed them all. :lol3:

CB$ will probably give Ru$$ell a free pa$$ for the $ame rea$on Charlie $heen got a pa$$. (Having the season "in the can" makes no difference; here's a legal blog post with the opinion that the standard NDAs may be invalid.)

'Survivor' Snitch Exposed -- The Email Evidence
2/19/2011 12:50 AM PST by TMZ Staff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Survivor: Redemption Island" contestant Russell Hantz claims he NEVER leaked secrets about the reality series to a fan blog site -- but TMZ has obtained emails between Russell and the fan who posted the show spoilers.
TMZ spoke with Jim Early who admits publishing spoilers about "Survivor: Samoa," and "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains" -- which both featured Russell. Some of the leaks include how Russell found an immunity idol -- and revealing Russell made the final 3 ... before the episode aired.
The emails -- from September and October 2009 when "Survivor: Samoa" was airing -- were sent between "The Game" (Jim) and "Hantztankering" (Russell). Hantztankering is the name of a water tank company Russell owns.
Jim says he initially met Russell through a "Survivor" fan site ... and after that "he just started telling me what happened on the show."
Jim claims he's coming forward with the emails because he's angry Russell has falsely accused innocent cast members of being the snitch.
Remember, Russell is on the current season of "Survivor" which premiered this week. Calls to Russell and "Survivor" reps were not returned.

TexasLady:
This just doesn't sit right with me, apparently he contacted Russell, started getting information which he published and with a pathetic excuse, ratted Russell out when CBS came knocking. Did he tell Russell 'You can trust me! I won't tell anyone.' or did he say... Thanks for the information, no promises made. We don't know but I have my own opinions. When you become a news purveyor, shouldn't you keep your sources safe?
All that said, Russell was beyond stupid to leak details when he knew it violated his NDA. (And whether that really is valid is beyond the point, it violates the trust placed on a contestant when chosen to participate.)
