Well, round one to Russell. I'm sad to see Tyson go, as he's pretty hilarious. Unfortunately it seems like a lot of the entertaining guys are duking it out while the Sandras of the world stick around wasting everybody's precious entertainment minutes.
Rob's quote about Russell being like a suicide bomber in the preview for next week was hilarious! I actually do like Rob a lot, but if he's enemies with Russell, then I'm forced to cheer against him. Rob's just a little too smug and sure of himself... yes, Russell is beyond smug when he's talking to the camera, but look at the way he manipulated Tyson. It wasn't as over the top obvious as Rob trying to goad Russell into playing his idol.
I'm curious whether someone betrayed the details of the 3 and 3 split vote. Coach? It would be just like him to talk about honor and all his nonsense about how he's going to vote the way he said, and then betray the information that essentially nullifies his own vote. That would explain Russell's appeal to him during the idol play. So there he is, possibly sealing his fate by giving away the idol, and he's already fighting for the next tribal council before the dust settles and while not being sure if he's still going to be around in 5 minutes.
When Russell calls the other players dummies, he's only telling the truth. You see it season after season, most of these people are completely clueless on how to win a game... and usually it's just the dumb outwitting the even dumber. It's kind of ridiculous to see the situations Russell has managed to get himself out of so far in these two seasons.
