But why would he do it now? He's weakening his own tribe. Why not save those antics for later in the game (i.e. after a merge)? (Perhaps because he knows he couldn't possibly last that long?)

Unfortunately, I'm afraid we'll be seeing a lot more of Russell than I'd like.
Exactly. Maybe there's a reason his tribe ended up at tribal council.

And if you're going to form an alliance with people in the first few days, you don't try to form one with EVERYONE. At that point, people are still very much on their own, and they'll vote out anybody. As long as they're not going home themselves, they're happy, and there's very little arguing... and a lot of talking between everyone.

It's when the game really gets going that you begin to strategize. Because like a few of those girls, I would have seen right through him from the beginning, and he would have painted a huge, red target on his back by approaching me that early.
