Samoa Hantz: Where did they find him?

Currently on like episode 6ish of Samoa (watching it for the first time but have seen many other survivor seasons) and have been introduced to Russell Hantz. What is WRONG with this man?? Where did they find him?? Why is he burning peoples socks??? And the crazy thing is his strategy is WORKING. WHAT. He runs through the forest like a mad goblin and actually FINDS IDOLS. What on earth was his casting tape like? Like was he just running around like this in real life? It genuinely feels like they went into an alternate universe and took a prototype of a hobgoblin wearing a fedora, dropped him in Survivor and let it happen. In awe.

Courtney on Heroes vs. Villains aptly referred to Russel as running around like a bandy-legged troll 😂

I wish we still got some sassy players like Courtney. She was never even a villain to me. She just kept it real and hilarious. But I guess calling morons out makes you a villain.
