At the final immunity challenge, Hantz edged out Shallow and Manthey by a few inches. He then chose to vote out Manthey, assuming he would get her vote for the Survivor title.
His game, however, was panned by the jurors, all of whom refused to vote for Hantz in the end. Diaz-Twine ultimately triumphed over him and Shallow in a 6—3—0 vote, thus winning her second Sole Survivor title.
Early on, Mariano organized his alliance to split the vote 3—3 between Hantz and Parvati Shallow. The former then told Tyson Apostol that he also intended to eliminate her, which influenced Apostol to change his vote from Hantz to her. To gain the majority, Russell told the two remaining Heroes, Colby and Rupert, that he would keep them if they voted Danielle out with him. They agreed, and Danielle was voted out A loved ones Reward Challenge took place On Day 34, where Jerri won and invited Parvati and Sandra, and their respective loved ones, to join her.
Russell, angry that Jerri did not pick him, decided to turn on Parvati by making a new alliance with Colby and Rupert. They agreed and Russell felt that Jerri could join his new alliance.

Unknown to Russell, Sandra had found the idol; and while she did not need to use it, the Villains again prevailed, voting Rupert out, Russell and the Villains would then finish off the Heroes by voting Colby out on Day That afternoon, Russell felt that they should eliminate Jerri.
Under the premise that Jerri might win, Russell covered up his true intention in voting Jerri out: He assumed that Jerri would vote for him at Final Tribal Council, and taking Sandra to the end would be an easy win for him. Parvati, on the other hand, believed that Sandra should go, as the Heroes, who had five seats in the jury , would favor her. In the end, Russell sent Jerri to the jury anyway, after a vote. On Day 39, Sandra wanted to get even to Russell for eliminating her alliance and all the other atrocities he had done.
She secretly burned his hat, to her and Parvati's entertainment. Russell tried to look for his hat, not knowing it was already in ashes. At the Final Tribal Council, Russell faced heavy criticism from the jury, mostly from the Heroes; as he was castigated for not only for his numerous betrayals, but for his mistreatment of the Heroes, and his sense of self-entitlement.
The Villains also praised Parvati and Sandra's gameplay more than Russell's. In the end, Russell received no jury votes, Parvati got three, and Sandra was crowned Sole Survivor for the second time, with six, much to Russell's disgust.

Russell returned to compete for a third time along with Heroes vs. Villains archrival Rob Mariano to settle their iconic rivalry. After a draw of buffs , Russell went to the purple Zapatera tribe who visibly resented his inclusion to the tribe.
When the tribe arrived at camp, Russell stated he would be playing differently than his previous seasons and he would not do the things he was notorious for in the past, though his tribemates remained suspicious. Russell however led his tribe to win the first two Immunity Challenges. During this winning streak Russell recruited Stephanie Valencia and Krista Klumpp , the only two who were open to work with him.
The three found the clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol and began searching, not knowing their attempts were futile because Ralph Kiser already found the idol. Russell was then called out by Ralph for stealing the clue which angered the former.
With no idol to protect him, Russell feigned possessing one, telling Stephanie to hold on her bag suspiciously the whole day so it would look like she was "protecting" the idol. Hungry for Russell's downfall, the six other tribe members planned to throw the Day 8 Immunity Challenge to eliminate Russell. They informed Russell that Francesca Hogi won the first duel which in truth Matt Elrod won to throw Russell off-guard, only to split the votes between him, Stephanie, and Krista.
Zapatera did lose the Immunity Challenge with Russell surmising that he was set up. Russell got wind of the plan and attempted to coerce Julie Wolfe to vote with them with Russell reiterating he was a changed man.
At Tribal Council however, Russell's plea to Julie were to no avail as she remained with the majority, forcing the game's first three-way tie. In the revote, the majority alliance unanimously voted Russell out, Furious, Russell headed to Redemption Island , swearing to come back.

In an international Survivor first, Russell, a former contestant from the American version, competed in a foreign version, having been placed in the Champions tribe.
While his experience with island living proved to be invaluable, the tribe remained skeptical about him, promptly branding him as a threat. To his frustration, Russell believed the tribe was not keen on talking strategy. Russell returned to his old ways by luring in a seemingly unwitting woman to be his ally, this time, in former Miss Universe Australia Monika Radulovic , though Monika and Samuel Hinton , the second person Russell recruited, mutually agreed to shoot down Russell's offer.
Also true to his legacy, Russell had found the Hidden Immunity Idol unaided by clues and was determined to "teach" the Australians how to play the game. Russell was spared from elimination however, as the Champions won the first Immunity Challenge.
Russell later flaunted the idol for the tribe to see and strike fear in them. Believing that showing the idol would open opportunities for him, Russell made an alliance with Jackie Glazier , Mat Rogers , and Damien Thomlinson , and as a sign of trust, Russell swore on his wedding ring. Unknown to them, Russell, who had since divorced to Melanie, brought multiple rings for the game. The suspicion over Russell furthered as he was caught by Moana Hope scheming with Damien later that night.
Following the tribe's loss at the second Immunity Challenge, Russell attempted to sow chaos by throwing multiple names to prevent a majority vote against him. Meanwhile, Moana, unbothered by Russell's antics, rallied to oust Russell, though the campaign found some roadblocks with Lydia Lassila insisting to instead eliminate perceived weak links such as Damien and Shane Gould.
At Tribal Council , Russell proudly wore his idol to further intimidate his tribemates, leading to a snide exchange between him and Moana, with Moana advising him that if his gameplay had not worked in his previous seasons, he should probably change it. Russell ultimately did not play his idol; a critical error as Moana called out his bluff and still amassed enough numbers for a tie between Russell and Jackie.
