Yes, I liked Lydia on the exit interview. Yes, I thought Julie would tell Lydia that Natalie was not a little kid.

I realised last night that Julie couldn't say anything about Nat's age or any part of the game cause Lydia is a jury member.

Julie can't tell Lydia that because Lydia is on the jury.

Wow I guess there isn't any water downstairs for Michele to shave with?

Now, that's the Russell I would have want to see in the game, the more class he has the more foolish Jeff looks for saying Russ will never have any friends, what does he know?

Way to go Russ!!

Great interview from Russell. He really is a classy guy. He had nothing but nice things to say about his fellow HG and showed respect for their game.

I think trying to play bits of ED, Dan, Boogie, and Dr. Will was a mistake on his part...he could have been himself and gone further IMHO. Maybe he did not realize that a few of the above were not well liked or respected by the viewers. Oh well!

The Russell in that interview might have gotten the CDT from America depending on the circumstances...

I also enjoyed that side of Russell. Classy. Calm. Collected. Intelligent.

Also love the fact that he's giving the $10,000 to his family because he's still young and can earn money.

Russell should have played the game as Russell.

When he behaves well, like he did with Julie last night, he's charming and adorable. He's a smart young man. I wish him well.

Was that the real Russell or just another character playing classy interview guy?

I thought he came across as more slick, slimy and, smarmy than classy. A young, tough guy, punk with a chip on his shoulder. He had fun playing on peoples emotions? sick. Even playing a character, when you are trying and succeeding at breaking someone, shows a lot about a person's character. Standing behind 'everything is fair game because they signed on the dotted line' and not regretting any of his actions. Complete lack of compassion. Not someone I would want to be associated with. Not sure Jeff is going to want to hang with him when it's over either.

When asked what he learned about himself, he could hardly come up with an answer. Yet when asked if he would do it again, he said yes because he learned so much about himself. Wah???

IMO if you try to be someone you are not, it will backfire on you. And it did for Russell (and will probably carry over into real life a little bit as well).

Russell is giving the ten thousand to his family. Does not surprise me one bit. He always took the oath on his family seriously, and never understood why others threw it aside so casually. Out of all that happened, that is what upset him the most.

Good luck with everything, Russell. I wanted you to win!

Yes it was a mistake to try and mix game styles, rather than just be himself and stick to a plan.

But reviewing Russell's exit interviews vs Jeff's blog, there's no question who I'd want to spend any time with - same guy I voted for in the CDE, but who didn't get it.

Great Interview hands down! Had I seen a bit more of that Russell in the game that would have been cool! He should have talked to us in the back yard like E D did

ya I wish Russ had been himself in the game and not tried to morph himself into Evil Dick. I like the real Russ.

I can only imagine how hard it must be to do that right on the spot with all the adrenalin still pumping. I also think he acted in the moment and then moved on.
One of the best I've seen so far. I think that kid will go places. I for one, hope he does!

I agree.....

As mad as I would get a Russell's gameplay and tirades....I couldn't say I HATED him...because from time to time I got glimpses of "this Early Show" Russ....and I LOVED him.....but for the most part it was too few and far between and he was almost as bad as Evel Dick....and THAT Russell, I could NOT stomach...

Too bad he didn't have the confidence to just "be himself"...He surely MAY have given Jeff a run for his money with our America votes....

Just watched the interview and I also loved it. I always liked Russell and I always found him intelligent, especially when talking one on one with Michele. No one else in that house ever tried to have a normal discussion with her - they were all intimidated by her brains. I think he might show a strong exterior, but inside he is mush.
I don't think Jeff would be able to have a normal conversation with Julie and not bash his former houseguests or be angry at them. Can't wait to eventually see his interview.

Just watched the CBS extended interview. Seriously, Russ handled his exit so well. He tips his hat to Jeff and says he did a phenomenal job. There's nothing fake there, the man is actually gracious. It'll be interesting to see how J&J exit.

I liked that Russell. I too think he would have gone farther in the game had he just been himself.

I'm just seeing Russell's exit interview. I'm sure he was pissed for being booted so soon, but I agree he handled himself well in the interview. I've been a Russell fan since early on, because I could see there was a sweet side to him. Sure, he'd get a little hot-headed, but that was when he felt someone he trusted turned their back on him. Plus, throughout the game...Russ had to put up with a lot and probably never quite felt he fit in with anyone in the house. One minute you'd think he was apart of an alliance,,,then they next they're all talking about eliminating him. So he had a pretty tough game, but he atleast made it the final 6 where he has a say in who wins the game. I liked that he went out without one negative word about anybody in that house.

That's the Russell I fell in love with in the Russell Fan Thread. I'm going to miss him.
