But you guys do agree that he is a great player? He just lacks the social part.

Let's look at some of the few blunders Russell's made:

-Sabotaging Foa Foa on the first night and telling a ridiculous string of lies for no reason
-Voting out Liz over Natalie
-Bragging about an HII for no reason and being forced to play it
-Voting out Shambo and Jaison over Mick and Natalie
-Making an unnecessary, unrealistic deal with Brett at F4
-Going to the end with Natalie

-Playing his HII on Parvati rather than himself
-Alienating himself, Parvati, and Danielle from the other Villains
-Saying in Tribal Council that he, Parvati, and Danielle are a tight threesome right after he took Jerri under his wing
-Voting out Coach and Courtney over Sandra
-Playing a HII at F9 for no reason except for spiting Parvati
-Believing the rock in Rupert's pocket
-Making deals with all the Heroes right before backstabbing them
-Voting out Candice right after promising her F3
-Targeting Danielle for no reason
-Making a F3 deal with Colby/Rupert
-Refusing to vote out Sandra

Mmhmm, best player to never win.

You'll see this a lot with Russell's supposed "good moves," they're actually not good at all, but he lucks out when someone else makes a blunder. Russell had NOTHING to do with getting Tyson to switch his vote, it's all editing. Read any post-game interview. Basically Russell thought that Danielle and Parvati would vote Russell and Russell vote for Parvati, making it 5-4. He hoped that their alliance would turn on each other and from there switched his own vote to make Parvati go home, not Russell. And besides, just because Russell giving Parvati the HII worked doesn't mean it was smart at all. It's actually one of the dumber moves to happen. Right there, he essentially sacrificed himself for Parvati considering nothing else crazy would happen. If you know the vote is going to be 3-3-3 and you have a HII and you're getting votes, why wouldn't you use it on yourself? It worked for Russell but by no means does that make it smart.

It was all luck. Riiiiiiiiight. Got to finals in back to back seasons off of pure luck.

That post makes no sense. If he thought that was going to happen WHY DID HE VOTE FOR TYSON AND NOT PARVATI!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?

He used the idol on Parvati for several reasons.

1. He knew Tyson was going to change to his vote.

2. He wanted to keep his alliance intact.

3. Wanted to get the numbers on his side. He thought by giving the idol to Parvati, Jerri and Coach would flip over to his side. He showed them, that he would do whatever it takes to keep his alliance intact. Including risking his own life in the game. Right after that move. Jerri flipped, followed by Coach.

But sure it was all luck.
