Big Brother Craze

Hey ya’ll! It’s due to start in a few minutes, and as with Jeff and Jordan, I’ll cover as much as I can here for those who no longer have the feeds, and want to get answers to some of the burning BB questions!

Stay tuned!

6:08- there we go, it’s working, and we’re talking about Russell’s attacks and if they were real or planned. Russell says every fight had a purpose, and Jessie and Michele were the only two that figured it out. He switched sides a lot, he was playing the game, his tactic was intimidation.

What did he think of the chest bump?
Russell: Michele saw me smile – I started to laugh, and tried to bring it back, but she was so cute and sweet, for me it was funny.

What did Michele think about natalie throwing her rings in the garbage – Michele says that she didn’t know until after, but it’s one of the reasons she won’t talk to her again. if she can’t let it go, there’s no need to talk to her. And she heard her talking about bleach in the solution – and those are just things, you shouldn’t be thinking of harming people int he house. That’s one of the reasons she didn’t vote for her, she’s too nasty.

There’s a question for Missy – is Russell as hot in person as he is on TV.
Missy: absolutely, positively the hotest houseguest in years…
Russell: can I give you a hug right now?
Missy: later. Lots of hugs.

How has the feedback from friends and family – positive, negative?
Michele: a lot were shocked about how blunt I was, they’ve been supportive of how hard I played, and happy I was strong and made it to the final four
Russell: they’ve been overwhelmingly kind, and thank you for that.

Russell then tips his hat to all the parents and close family, that had to listen to all the negativity, parents have the toughest time
Russell: i know mine did, and the first thing I did when I got home was say thank you. People need to realize that now that the game is over, don’t encourage that, these are people’s sons and daughters. In the game – blog about it, great. The games over now, so it should just stop. I can take it, but other people are more sensitive, so it’s difficult when some still attack michele, chima, natalie.

Awww!

What’s with the memory, Michele?!
Michele: Well, as a have not, and stress, I wasn’t sleeping well, eating well, and I had memory problems, and things would blur together. When they’d blow little conversations into massive proportions, it was just not something I’m good at, remembering every little detail of every little conversation.
Russell: ronnie did!

Is Russell a lawyer?
Russell: no. When do you get to be whatevr you want to be? It made people nervous.

What DO you do?
Russell: Was a firefighter for 3 years, then wroked in an investment firm, and recently transitioned into commercial real estate.

Did Michele lose her job?
Michele: no, but i’m currently considering other options.

Who would Michele have picked for final two?
Michele: russell if he was still – but of the final four, I would have taken Kevin
Russell: WHAT?!
Michele: you were gone already!
Russell: i’ll remember that for allstars!

Would they do it again?
Michele: I’d do it over and over again until I win! I’d love too!
Russell: …really?
Michele: i’m a massichist! Sorry!

Russell worried about being naked on the web?
He laughs – and Missy says no – “Russell were you upset to see your LOVE muscle was on the internet?”

Jeffgotgot: What is the love muscle…
Chelsia: JeffGotGot is not watching the backyard interviews!

Russell says he wasn’t upset, nothing he could do about it anyway, Missy says she watched it a million times. *L*

Have they watched anything?
Michele: I watched the intro, to see how corny they were.
Russell: i haven’t watched anything except Ronnie the Rat, that was funny! I don’t care to watch it, I just lived it for 3 months. We did it for the money, and I lost, it’s hard to watch it and know I didn’t win. I hate losing.
Michele: what a surprise.

Their favorite moment in Vegas? They don’t remember. *L* Michele said meeting the past houseguests, and fans. They don’t remember much, because they hadn’t drank for so long – and their tolerance is still not out.
Chelsia: it’s kinda pathetic…
Russell: yeah, it’s kinda blur!

Would he still vote for Natalie knowing what he does now?
Russell says yes, because she played the better game, it wasn’t about who he liked or didn’t like. Michele says if Natalie hadn’t gotten so nasty – she just couldn’t do it.

How was the Jury house?
Michele: my day and a half was really good..
Russell: it was BORING. Every day I’d wake up, wait for Jeff to wake up so we could go play golf in the back yard. And there was no alcohol! But my birthday was awesome, CBS sent in a personal chef which was awesome! Thanks CBS!

Is Russell gonna put sutff on ebay?
Russell: who wouldwant to buy it?! I don’t know
Missy: Russell, put your stuff on ebay.
Russell: yes ma’am.

Who will Russell keep in touch with?
Russell: anyone who gives me a call. The house was one thing, that’s not real, I’m willing to talk to anyone, still talk to Natalie.
Michele: I’m the same way, if you want to hang out, i’m down with that – no grudges except for Natalie.

How did you NOT know about her age?
Michele: i called her out right away, are you pregnant? She waslike I’m 18, and I’m like no…I’m sorry! Things didn’t match up, I never thought she was 18. Talking about 90210? It doesn’t make sense. But no one believed what I said.
Russell: SCHEMER!

Did you know Natalie cheated all the time?
Michele: she cheated in chess!
Chelsia: and the final HOH- the rubberband.
Missy: she denied that last night, and said to go back and look at it. She doesn’t know what the live feeders were on..
Michele: She’s a giant liar, why won’t she just confess? you could cheat – I didn’t.
Russell: is still beat her at chess even though she cheated, and I beat her at poker too! I won!

Michele – Did you know how admired you are for your strength?
Michele: i was surprised! But I’m happy to be to be admired for that and thank them for their support.

IF he did it again would he do a showmance?
Russell: I said I’d do anything for the money… so yeah..
Chelsia: I saw something blossoming with Chima..
Russell: She has an amazing story, and it was a good partnership. Problem was, we became such big targets, it was no longer Jeff and Jordan, everyone was watching us.

The fight – they talked about staging one late at night – was it planned?
Russell: no. I was coming in there because I was mad, I’d made an arrangement with michele and was trying to clear the air, it looked like they were discrediting me, and Michele is smarter than I am, and she got me! and I was like CRAP, and then it just spiraled out o control and there was no saving it.

Has he talked to Chima?
Russell: I’m not mad at anyone, I was open game just like they were. I’m not mad at the girl, I don’t take anything personal. I saw her and talked to her the enxt night. Haters will always hate you – if you’re spending your time hating me, I’m doing something right.

How tall is Russell? 5’8″.

Are they going to Natalie’s wedding?
Michele: I was disinvited! I’m the only one not allowed to go, and I was talking in support of it and nice, but I don’t even think there will be a wedding, so whatever.
Russell: if I’m invited, I’ll go.

Was Russell loyal to everyone?
Russell: I was. I was loyal to Casey, until he outed it to Laura. I was loyal to Jessie until he was evicted, and then Michele.

3 regrets?
Michele: Trusting Jeff and Jordan more than Russell, because my alliance with them led to him leaving which sucked. Not standing up to myself and taking on Natalie. I should have been more vocal and should have just voted for Natalie and she wouldn’t have made it to final two and it would have been different. Oh and I should have been more agressive, and instead of playing the victim – I mean I wasn’t that hurt, if I had been a lot more badass with it? If I could have just said some things back to you
Russell: YEAH! BADASS! I like that! 1. not finding the Laura banana, not agreeing with jeff when he came after us, and.. I dunno, if Braden was in the house longer, it would have been a completely different game. IT would have been interesting to see. From my HOH on I thought Chima had the best chance to win. And Braden is pure entertainment.

Russell – Fighting again in the ring?
Russell: I’ve gotten back into training, it’s on the table, I’ll know within the next month or so.

The Green Room Lie.
Russell: It was good – I mean, you have to chalk it up to Natalie, I didn’t believe her. And I know, you end up just saying fine! I did it! and you feel the only way to do it at that point was to spin it
Michele: they convinced ME that it was possibly true at some point. Was I sleep walking?! I cannot lie, um. I never win Poker,
Russell: or Bullshit!

Gabriella -8 years old – gets a special shoutout.

Did you find out Natalie was the vote for Laura?
Michele: after the show. They spun it that it was me, Casey, Russell – so kudos to her, because I never thought it was her.

Why choose to act as a past houseguest than yourself?
Russell: there’s a lot of greats in the past – If I was a lot of people at once, it would have been a better strategy. Playing myself would have been boring! I was gonna switch it up and have a different ending, I wanted the bad guy to win! You don’t remember Superman.. well. everyone remembers Jeff, so.

Who would you ahve taken final two?
Russell: Michele. She was the only person I could have – Jeff and Jordan would win..
Michele: so you thought you could beat me! ouch!
Russell: …no… I thought I’d get the 50 grand, really.
(they’re both laughing *L*)

Last minute Rapidfire:
Russell Shoe size 10.5
Jeff and Russell friends? Yes
Michele – pointers for auditioning: Show them why you’re special, sassy, cool job, why you’re different
Michele – wish you’d have gotten Natalie out? Totally!
You need to be aware she was bashing you last night, Michele – yes, she can’t let go of the game, hopefully she’ll learn to deal in a better way.
Russell – how would you fair in a fight against Ollie or Mega? Who are they?
How do you feel about how you treated everyone? Russell: everyone was a chess piece – it was a game.

Tune in October 15th, with Kevin and Lydia!
