Funny thing is I think Jessie would give his vote to whoever else was sitting next to Russell.

According to what he told Julie, Russell wanted to work with both Jeff and Jessie. Given his concern that Chima was creating a girls' alliance, I think his hope was that he could get Jessie and Jeff to work together with him against the girls. He tried to keep Jessie for the same reason he wanted Jessie to keep him (more numbers against the girls). It didn't seem to occur to him that Jessie would rather be the lone rooster in the hen house than team up with two other guys.

I think what tells most of his game is that so many people on this site are still trying to figure him out. We get to see the live feeds, the shows, the interviews with those who have left-and yet over all we still can't figure him out.

Imagine being in the house!! They REALLY can't figure him out. Now THAT is a good game!

I would like to vote Russells grey baggie sweat pants out of the house. Not even dustin's v neck t shirt irritated me as much as these pant.

If he had such "worthy" intentions to keep Jessie, why doesn't he come clean with Jeff and admit he is the vote for Jessie to stay. It would show Jeff that his intentions were to keep the guys together.

Jeff should remember this guy is the "mongoose".

Wow! Can you say "bitter"?

And not one indication that he is responsible for anything that has happened to him. He sees himself as just a victim.

Sadly for him I'm pretty sure she will not be buying what he is selling this time.

Sadly for her (Michelle) she did. Once again, she is forgiving him and he might as well have yelled the loudest he could he wants to keep Nat to work with her. Jordan seems to be the only one noticing how Russ doesn't seem to want Nat on the block. It stuck out like a sore thumb on BBAD last night. Russ completely overdid how 'useless' Nat is. Michelle and Jeff should have picked up on it as well.

I wonder if Jeff & Michelle are using Russell for his vote this week knowing that is as far as they can go with him at a time. I think Michelle for sure and Jeff is learning that you have to work with each week, each day in the BB house as a new game.

I almost feel sorry for Russell. He thinks Jessie/Nat had his back - he gave his vote to Jessie (although that may be for a jury vote) and doesn't realize that they were gunning for him to be put up and that Natalie continues to lobby for him to be put up.

I wish I could get inside Russell's head to know where his true loyalty lies (or if its just numero uno). His DR sessions make me think he's with J/J/M but his defense of Nat and vote for Jessie makes me think the opposite.

I think Russell's true loyalties lie with Russell, although right now I think he deeply appreciates Jeff, but that is a fleeting thing.

I think his desire to keep Natalie in the house stems from the fact that she hasn't done anything at all in the house and he's hoping people will vote for game play as opposed to doing nothing.

Has he ever watched BB? He's expecting people to think rationally?

Could this all be true? that he somehow doesn't want F4 with JJM?

Doesn't he feel the bad vibes coming his way? Doesn't he feel the "negative energy" that Michelle feels? Why is he sitting on his arse and doesn't find out what's going on. The HOH is up in arms about his "fishiness" and he sits on his laurels... I am stunned at the absence of action from this guy now.

Why do I get the feeling Russell may become this season's Will Kirby? By that I mean hated in the beginning, but by the end taking the role of sympathetic hero when the "good people" flip to the dark side. He'll have to do some quick thinking and serious persuading, though. Perhaps pull out the old "The jury won't vote for me in the end, so you might as well keep me."

Russell told Julie that he wanted to work with Jesse or Jeff. Jesse's gone, so I believe he truly wants to work with Jeff. But with Jordan in the way, he can't be sure Jeff feels the same way. So he has to take control of his own destiny, meaning beating Jeff at competitions to ensure his own safety. If that means tiring Jeff out before a competition, he's pretty shrewd to think of that.

He really surprised me with his cool demeanour during the big meeting, he said he was tired of arguments but I believe the DR had a hand in it, coached him well.

Anyway, why shouldn't he scheme for F2 with anyone he wants? Jeff is still stewing on this even though he admitted to him that after F4 they could eat each other...

Will any of these 4 still be here at F4, Mmmm. Anyway, I'm glad he got up from his laurels and had this meeting.

At least one of the four will be there at F4, but quite possibly not all four of them.

I can't help but wonder if Chima being gone has alot to do with him being able to remain calm now. She spent how many days going out of her way to make snide remarks, set him off, etc. It kept him constantly on edge. The people remaining do not do that.

I like Russell in spite of his anger and I think he has played great. I hope he and Michele can dodge anything that comes their way.

I want Russell and Kevin final two. They would make an interesting Odd Couple. Besides they have ticked me off the least of everyone left.

I can't help but wonder how much of his anger was an act. I suspect he wanted to play the villain so people wouldn't see him as a threat for final 2. Unfortunately for him, these people seem to be too clueless to realize that it's safer to leave in someone everybody hates than someone like Jordan who's the real final 2 threat.

I think it's hitting home that he could be backdoored, no matter all the patching up of yesterday. He better pray for Michel to win POV and leave noms as they are.

Looks like he's facing another "backdoor" situation, he really looks "done". But what I can't understand is his lack of action, he has been quiet and fearful for the past week instead of confronting Jeff and ask him point blank, "Are you going to backdoor me?".. why wait till after POV ceremony, he needs to fight now, not afterwards.. Is he another quitter?
Unless, he is willing to accept defeat because what Jeff is doing to him he was ready to do it to Jeff. But I am not sure, all he had to do is reassure over and over JJ that he will keep his word. Instead, nada, zippo, zero action.

Confronting Jeff would just give Jeff an excuse to backdoor him. If he walks the straight and narrow, then Jeff has no excuse and will have to take on the role of backstabber. It would've been different if someone else had been the veto winner and Jeff could say he had no choice but to put up Russell. If Jeff vetoes his own nominee to put up Russell there will be no room for doubt that he went back on his word after all that swearing on his family nonsense. This is the same situation Jordan got into on Thursday when she won the veto. She couldn't use it without making herself look like a liar so she left it unused.

I'm also guessing (or maybe hoping) that if Russell is quiet it's because he's plotting his next move.

In any event, as frequently as Jeff and Jordan change their minds there's no way of knowing if Russell is really in danger or not.

I think he has been biding his time until he finds out for sure if he is going to be backdoored. Confronting Jeff would only give him an excuse and make himself look like a victim. I hope that if Jeff uses the POV on Russell, then Russell finds the votes to keep himself in the game. Michelle does not have to do what J/J want, nor does either Kevin or Natalie. Russell can tell K/L, whoever is off the block, to partner with him to go after J/J, that is if anyone left wants to win and not hand them this game.

Okay, what will happen to Russell if Jeff puts him up is:
first he will look very angry at Jeff for not honoring the agreement to F4 (it should be the least he could do!!!)
Then convince Michelle that she does not have to do as JJ want because he did not honor the agreement.
The tough part is to bargain with Natalie because she is too keen on saving Kevin. He may only get Michelle's vote to stay. He should be really mad but if he remains calm and respectful then Jeff will look even worse and he will have lost Russell's jury vote.

The only thing Russell has now is his jury vote and threatening Jeff with that will not work because Jeff cannot fathom being in the final 2 without Jordan.
Russell's revenge will be convincing Michele that she is the next target and that she should go after Jeff next.
Michele knows that going final two with Jeff is a bad idea anyway so it may work.
