Russell had the strategic moves to get him into the finale. What he lacked was compassion and tact. Since it is the jury who votes for the winner, a softer more gentle approach during the final tribal council would have probably garnered Russell more votes in his direction.

He tried to say he acted the way he did during the game because that was his way of surviving... Really??? What is his sorry excuse for throwing the socks into the firepit last night? He's just another whining sniviling malcontent. I was happy to see Natalie get the votes for the million $$.
