He had the brawn, but Russell couldn’t power through to win "Big Brother." Now the evicted housemate is telling ET about the blowups that got him booted.
ET: Do you really harbor bad feelings toward Jeff, who you called "an idiot," or do you feel he was just playing the game?
RUSSELL: He played a great game and I have no hard feelings.
ET: Why did you give Jessie your vote — especially after Jeff saved you and Jessie had no intention of keeping you that very same night?
RUSSELL: I told Jessie that I would never vote to evict him. I was unsure if Michele would vote to keep him in the house and that would have been 3-2 vote in Jessie’s favor to stay.
