Known to his friends as "Russell the Lovemuscle," this commercial real-estate broker is certain to be a favorite in the BIG BROTHER house. Loud and brash, Russell holds nothing back and is always ready for a fight. In fact, his brash personality is probably his biggest asset outside the house, where he is a mixed martial arts fighter. He claims nothing scares him and that includes the game of BIG BROTHER. Russell's biggest pet peeve is people who don’t think before they act, but only because he's made mistakes while doing just that. In college, he was in a motorcycle accident while trying to impress a group of girls. The crash left him temporarily paralyzed and it took six surgeries to get him back into fighting form. Now Russell is ready to tackle a new form of competition against his fellow Houseguests. It's a challenge and he'll do it with a smile on his face because, according to Russell, "if you’re not smiling, you’re not living." Russell has previously lived in Southern California and Lebanon. His birth date is September 1, 1984.

Russel the love muscle, I giggled at that rhyme ;) Well, he looks buff. Wonder if he'll spend a lot of time keeping his head bald. I think some of the females will gawk at Russell and his love muscle.

Hmmm...seems to be the "Cappy"/"Justin"/"Scott" hothead type. I vote him "Most Likely To Be Forcibly Removed"

"Loud and brash" and "Always ready for a fight." Yeah, I'm with Rosem...most likely to be removed.

Wonder how tall he is? Reminds me of Justin the "all natural body builder looking for a life sponsor" Maybe a little "short man syndrome" going on?b

OMG, I just found out he is from Walnut Creek, CA. I hope he isn't awful, there was an article in our paper today about him. They didn't say much more than the bio.

There was an article in our paper too. I hope he does us proud but I'm doubting it will happen.

Loud, brash, and always ready for a fight - sounds like less than a delightful companion to me! I like more subtle stuff -

As I wrote in another HG's thread, why do people misrepresent themselves? Don't they know folks are going to be heading to the Internet to check out their creds?

Well, fake credentials or not, he's one of my tops at the moment. I hope he isn't like Cappy (Not even funny, y'all. XD) and that he has a more laidback approach to the game. He's more eye candy to me than Braden is, though.

I agree with a couple of people- most likely to be removed from the house. The Off-beats and Braniacs might take care of him quick though. I'll say PRE-JURY...

After watching the videos I kinda like him. He seems smarter and more likable than his bio reads. Plus he has a cute nervous laugh.

Watching on BB After Dark, this dude seems cooler than I would have thought. I'm kind of rooting for him now...it looks my girl Lydia will be the first ejected, so I gotta find other faves, yes?? Russell could be one of them..

He is definitely smarter than he looks! I haven't gotten the vibe from the live feed watchers that THEY think he is/could be dangerous. It is to the HG's benefit to put that out there whether or not it is true!

I didn't know Russell was Lebanese! I thought he had a certain look to him that made me think he might be Middle Eastern, but never had the confirmation. Scary to think I'm a few months older than him.

Well Russell... couldn't stand you after technotronics, but you showed yourself to be a gentleman and handled yourself with class during that Chima nastiness. Thanks for repping us Christian Middle Easterners
