WAH Russell cry me a river, you can't shut up about the family threat now cause its the only thing you have on Jeff! If you were so morally upset about the family remark then you should have said something right then and there last week dude. You knew it was not meant as a real threat and that it was only posturing or your moral compass would have exploded last Wednesday-or maybe your family is only important if you still have no shot at winning. You got got lol!

It's not the swearing on their families, it's Jeff going back on his word. They swore on their families (Michelle on her dogs) to seal the F4 deal, which was Jeff's idea. I think that when someone whom you don't know threatens to come after you or your family, or stab you, you have to take it seriously. Saying things like that is not a joke. I'm surprised BB hasn't intervened.

Russell took the swearing on his family seriously. Jeff said if anyone swears on their family, and doesn't keep their word, he would go after their famiies. Jeff did not keep his word. In Russell's world, that is big. In mine too.

What does it mean to swear on your family?? To swear means to affirm, promise or take an oath... so "to swear on my family.." would mean "I promise on my family..." What is that supposed to mean??? Gosh I guess I just never used that phrase.... and it just doesn't make sense to me...

Swearing on your family is the new swearing on the bible. The bb house is like Vegas, what happens in the bb house stays in the bb house.

Jeff swore he'd get all of Jessie's group out, who he said were taking over the house, doing bad things, etc. Things were moving in that direction and Natalie was supposed to go last week, but managed to lie her way into this week, and it looks like she has done it for next. Jeff has not only bought Natalie's lie, thrown his alliance under the bus bc of that lie, he is behaving worse than Jessie, with Jordan right with him. Russell did redeem himself, so it's easier to want him to stay over her, and now Jeff and Jordan, but it is predominately about Natalie still being there. That said, if Russell goes this week, I hope Natalie will go by her plan, get HOH and take out Jeff.

Thanks Chere... but it still doesn't make sense to me... ONe would swear on the bible because they feel some God or higher being encourages truth and not lying or betraying another... Swearing on the bible would make them keep their word so as they are trying to follow the words of the bible. But heck swearing on your family?? Many families might say hey tell him you are BFFs and then vote him out... no problem on swearing on your family then... no one to disappoint...

People say things like swear on your family, on so and so's life, on so and so's grave, and all that does is tell the other person you are serious and are giving your word. I don't think it is anything new, just not done a lot, bc it's taken seriously. Maybe that's why Michelle swore on her dogs, lol.

The title of this thread should be "out of Jeff's own mouth"

Puzzled, I agree with you on that. I don't have respect for anyone that swears on loved ones lives. Russell, if your dad is ill, why the hell are you swearing on his life over a game show? You are just as big a piece of shit as the person threatening them and you know it. That's why you have to turn it around to put more focus on someone else's words.

I just watched the fight between Jeff and Russ. I can not believe Russ' only thing is what Jeff said about the final 4 thing which when said was clearly a joke. If it was not then how come Russ did not say Hey don't threaten my family ? I find it so funny how many people were all for Jeff and now that he is actually "Playing" the game, people are turning against him. He is the same one that most everyone voted for to give the CDT. Ahhh gotta love Big Brother.

To me, Jeff was great in the beginning and wonderful to get Jess and Chima out. However, he has recently displayed an incredible sense of intitlement(sp).This is a big turn off to me.

I still believe that Russel would have put up Jeff and Jordan had he stayed and won HOH this week. We will never know for sure.

Russell knew it was not meant as a "serious threat" when it was said. Remember this is Russell here folks! Also if it offended Russell so much or he believed Jeff meant it Russell would have gone off on Jeff immediately. Russell went off on his own alliance members (Ronnie, Chima,Lydia)when he perceived that they did something to offend him so trust me he would have gone off on Jeff This is the only thing he could think of to attack Jeff with.

Didnt Russell say in the DR that he felt he and Jeff were even now? That if Jeff was smart he would put me (Russell) up? That he would put Jeff up? Did I dream this?

Some of you people are so funny to read because as soon as people begin to play the game and try and win, you turn on them. I agree with GiGi. Jessie was playing the game, and dominating, and you all hated him while Jeff was on the losing side and you loved him. Jeff pulls a game changing move by putting up Russ which pretty much ends the game for him, and now your all hating Jeff. I don't understand. I hated Jeff becaue he wasn't doing anything, now I love him because he is playing the game for himself. Good for him.

Jeff has become hypocritical. Everyone can and does play the game, but everyone is not there for Jeff. Jeff is now backing Natalie, she is the one gunning for him, not Russell. Jeff was played. Good luck to Natalie in getting Jeff out.
