Baby, we don't know. RussH could be a loving father and a wonderful businessman. But he chose to play the game the way he did. He wants to play it the way no one has ever seen before. ?? What kind of mentality is that??
He said stuff like he's going to make his tribe mates uncomfortable, hence the water-poring and the sock-burning. But Jeff doubts he even knows the game! He acts like he doesn't know that, the usual rout is to keep your tribe strong and in shape thus winning as many as challenges as possible. And winning means not going to TC as often and not upping the possibilities of your ass on the line!

I meant water-pouring, but it should be "water-dumping", huh?

I understand fierce gameplay, but what was behind his decision to lie about being in New Orleans; also why make up a dog and lie about that too?

Chy, ITA, it makes no sense for RussH to weaken his own team. I could understand this type of behavior once they merge but not before, it seems sort of a stupid way to play the game before the merge.

I don't understand ER's gameplay one bit.

What gain can he possible be contemplating by sabotaguing his own team? All that will accomplish is more TC's which will increase the chance that he might be voted out...

It makes no sense to me at all..

I think I get it....maybe....Evil Russell has competely by-passed the "tribe mentality" and is playing as an individual. His one and only goal??? To get all other players out before him - regardless if that person is on his tribe or not. Of course, right now he only has his own tribe to work on. He doesn't care about winning rewards. Each time they go to TC it's one more person out before him. And he really believes that, because he believes he can manipulate his tribe members into voting out the person he wants out. It worked like a charm in the first episode. And all the mean nasty stuff....he's not saying that to his tribe. He's saying that in the confessionals. He's concocted those other stories to elicit sympathy from the players and make him look like a nice honorable guy that's been thru hard times. That Katrina and dog story brought tears.

And the weaker the players get on his tribe, the more they'll think they need him to win challenges, so they'll want to keep him around for awhile. You don't get rid of the strong players until later on in the game.

That's my take on his game play. I guess I'll see if it works for him. We'll know in a few weeks.

Russell is the devil. And I don't like Ben's goattee...and he definitely needs to wear a shirt. Those man boobs kind of are grossing me out. He probably has the largest natural boobs in his tribe.

Yeah, E-Russell's strategy is going to work really well for him when all his team members are gone at the merge. Remember how well that turned out for Stephenie that season she was the only one left on her tribe at merge?

YW Suz! What I really like about that site is they always seem to ask the same down to earth questions we seem to wrestle with (maybe they read @ TVCH?). Every time!
