Since he doesn't show the full URL in most of the images it's not possible to say for sure, but many of them appear to be a later stage in a multi-step process (registration, verifying email) to which you couldn't direct someone you wished to exploit.
If you have to enter bogus form input and make it to step 3, then while it technically is still XSS, it's not useful as an attack vector.
The others where an arbitrary user can be exploited by following a simple link (think I saw 2-3 of these) are real. CSRF protection won't help you there, since once I have JS running on your page I can insert iFrames or use XMLHTTP and read the CSRF tokens myself.
