After 21 seasons of the Hugh Hefner of reality shows, Survivor, a contestant is now being sued for allegedly leaking advance information about the show before its air date. If you are currently watching Survivor Gabon on our national broadcaster, then wait until 2016 before reading further.
The contestant in question is unsurprisingly Russell Hantz, the show’s all time villain after he pretty much ran the show two seasons in a row. It has also just been announced that the upcoming 22nd season will feature two new tribes, each led by either Russell or his Survivor archenemy, Boston Rob. More about that later this month when the show actually airs in the US.
So the short version of the story is that the guy on the left took part in Survivor for two seasons in a row. He then spoke to the one one the right, Jim Early and gave him information relating to team names, challenge winners, and boot lists. Jim then posted it online under the pseudonym “missyae”. Ja, I know. If don’t know who the blond is, but she seems close with Jim.
The survivor lawyers got hold of Jim through his IP address and he in turn figuratively cuffed Hantz. The reasons for this is probably the same as what it would be if you and I were faced with prison. No one wants to spend the night with Pappa. Jim, however claims it is “because of Russell’s attitude about the whole thing, and because he tried to implicate another player, an innocent player, who wasn’t giving information.” This reminded me of Vicky Pollard saying: “Yeahbutnobutyeahbutnobutyeah”.
Jim’s selfless deed earned him a Get Out of Jail Free card, while Hantz is left holding the proverbial bag. Hey, at least he’ll be on TV again later this month.
