Russell is a snake. And, he's arrogant. Hope he's just playing a game, and playing up to the cameras per instructions from a director. If he's like that in real life, I wouldn't want to associate with him.
Russell is definitely my favorite. He's really good at thinking strategically but I'm thinking it may be getting close to the end for him. I'm pretty sure he won't get the million in the end anyway, because how many people he's messed with so far.
Then how does that make him a strategic thinker? "Um, I'll do this, this, and this... so nobody will vote against me now, or for me in the end." Not such a great strategy, is it? ...unless your goal is second place.
You probably missed the verbal dust-up between Russell and Rupert. I always DVR it, just in case I can't watch live or want to see something again. Come on over before it's too late!
