Lets get this straight, Troy. No one takes Russell to the end, he takes them to the end. Everyone who got to the final 4 in Survivor, got there because Russell wanted them there. Not the other way around. Everyone who was evicted, was evicted, because Russell wanted them evicted. He had total control of the game. He only fell off a bit towards the end in Heroes Vs Villains when Parvarti came on strong. But from Start to finish he played the best overall game.
This is one of the best moments ever in Survivor history, Russell Vs Boston Rob and Crew. Boston Rob, didn't realise who the Fu******* he was messing with. The crazy thing is, Russell had SEVERAL plays just like that. Dude was just too dominant.
