No I'm not. I know most of you are too stubborn to actually realize this, but the moves he makes are stupid. Instead of having this be some one-sided rant, how about you guys actually try to prove why he's such a good player? He's done too many stupid things (believing Rupert's rock was an Idol, not keeping his first Idol in Samoa a secret, wasting the Idol he found with Danielle's clue as soon as he found it, and voting Danielle off just to get started) that he can't possibly be the best player ever, especially when he's received 2 out of 18 Jury votes.

Getting her evicted was a brilliant move on his part. Parvarti and Danielle were already planning to get rid of him in the up coming evictions. By getting rid of her, Parvarti lost the power to do such a thing.

No it wasn't brilliant at all, it was one of his stupider moves, and the execution itself was stupid too. He tried to pit Parvati and Danielle against each other but obviously didn't realize that they'd talk to each other about it, which just shows how poor his social game was and how he couldn't read people to save his life.

And why it wasn't brilliant: Danielle was one of the few people Russell actually had a chance of beating in a Final Tribal Council. If Russell actually saw this and wanted to have a good chance at winning, he would've realized that he need to keep Danielle in the game to actually have a slight chance at winning. Russell should've gotten Parvati out if anyone, but he should've tried to use their close bond to his advantage and improve his social game at the same time.
