Russell is the first houseguest that had me hating him one week and loving him the next. My feelings for Russell change form day to day because of his inconsistent strategies and his paranoid thoughts. Just when I’m done he does something smart.
He frustrates me on a daily basis and yet I gave up disliking him when he was about to be back doored week 2.

This thread is not about liking Russell or disliking Russell it’s about being frustrated when he does a great move and then blows his own game up.

He may have thrown Michele under the bus but if she gets HOH he will be right back kissing her behind.
Sadly for him I'm pretty sure she will not be buying what he is selling this time.

His fight with Chima may or may not have been staged but she is playing the game more than he is and that fight is going to haunt his game for weeks.

I just hope he keeps the mystery going... is he or is he not?? (playing a good game, I mean).
It would be too disappointing to discover that he hasn't a clue... at least Jeff admits when he hasn't a clue and we smile, but Russell is maddening with his good and wrong moves all mixed up...

From his blog I understand he's doing the "friendly approach" maybe to build future relationships outside the house, who knows, but it certainly shows he hasn't a clue of what is going on... blaming Michele for lying when the culprit are his so called good friends Jessie and Natalie.

I think what will happen to Russel is that he will either improve or become so paranoid that he will become more violent and that will be his downfall because even if he makes it to the end the Jury will not give him the money.

But for the moment I don't mind a bit of mystery in his game...

I am also one that Didn't like him! Then I did! When he got his HOH room and rosary and letter! And honored his deal with Jeff! I was Like wow, He is a Straight up person!
Then he lost his Temper and that scares me!
He angrily demands people tell him the truth (but it's okay for him to lie)
I mean Really Russell are you related to Jessie?
It will be interesting to see who's side he goes to after tonight!

I also didn't care for the Russell in the beginning - then last Thursday and Friday I was all about loving Russell after he kept his word and didn't nominate Jordan or Jeff.

I really want to believe he is a good person so I can start posting in his Fan Thread again.

Right now, Russell is the one I most want to win, mainly because I sense is a raw and immediate honesty. Is the immediacy of his honesty that causes the apparent inconsistency.

He also is one of the few whose reactions seem to be based on what he senses is happening in the house and is not coming from a like or dislike of any given person nor some desire to really hurt anyone. If he likes someone or dislikes someone at any given time, it is not the person, so much, as what he thinks that person is doing to his ability to win.

I think Russell tries to be good but he has failed miserably at some points in the game. His temper is a big problem. Still, I'll give him credit for at least trying. Some people don't even try.

...yet Russell is aware that N/J are uneasy even about him. Does Russell know about N/C/J planning moves with out him knowing, I am pleased Russell stuck by his conviction to put and keep Ronnie on the block.
Russell is not a fool, when C was visiting him in HOH she tried to sweet talk him and pull the wool and it was after C noticed Russell was not going to do as she says she turned nasty on him..bad mouth.
Earlier in the game Russell got all excited on account of big J and never really figured out the guests..but now he is beginning to do just that.

I think Russell got knocked out of their group decisions when he said he didn't want to talk game all the time. That's all they know and have to talk about.

I'm the same as you all it is a love hate relationship with Russell and I sure hope it ends up being a love relationship in the end. Because I think he is smart and knows what is going on and who to believe but then he does a complete 180! And I keep hoping it is staged with Michelle but I just can't read him!

Russell had a chance to float between Jessie and Jeff but he keeps showing his frustration until even Jeff will tell him to take a hike...

it's like "give Russell enough rope and he'll hang himself".. at this point, he's working towards his own demise...

I agree with all of you. I go back and forth with Russell. I want to hug him one minute then spank him the next. He's easy to like and easy to dislike depending on each day's events. I have to say that unfortunately I'm leaning more toward disliking him after last night. I strongly dislike being in arguments with screamers who get obnoxious. I wish he could watch himself and I hope when he gets a chance to view his actions/words/tantrums he'll work on his rage issues because I do feel there's a decent guy in there.

I really don't care if Russell plots his own demise but I don't want to see him take Jeff and Jordon with him.

Russell's fights with Chima & Michele were not staged. Read his HOH blog and he trashes Chima, Michele and Lydia. If they were fake fights, he'd have said so instead of dissing them in his blog for us to read.

And yes, I'm VERY frustrated with Russell because he has ALL of the tools to win this game, yet keeps shooting himself in the foot with his anger and taking things too personally.

I think Russell's game will improve once Jesse has gone out the door.

Russell knows people are lying but he foolishly believes that Jesse and Natalie would never lie to him.They have lied to him the most.

His stalking Michele and badgering her and calling her crazy is very ED and so not cool.

When we speak of Russell and use the acronym ED, are we speaking of Evel Dick? Or Bob Dole spokesman type ED? Or both?

I was referring to Russell’s game play being a sad imitation of Evil Dick. His hang up over his manhood is of no importance to me.

I have to admit that right now Russell, as inconsistent as he is, is my favorite and the one I would like to have win.

I also think he is the hottest man in the house -- but that has nothing to do with the fact I'd like to be able to see him as long as possible!

He acts like he does not know about the Wizard and that it could save him.
He badgers the others at random times.
He glares at the girls in a creepy angry way.

How is any of his strange behavior helping him stay in the house or even improving his later game chances if he does stay?

now that ronnie is gone, Russell has taken his place as House Liar and manipulator.

Russell wants to be the guy taken to the end by everyone because they think they'll win against him.

He'll keep up the aggressive ED type behaviour.

To get Jesse's jury vote.
