I think Russell made a mistake in making close personal alliances too soon - with the result that a couple of the people he approached didn't trust him. He should have spent a few days making close personal friendships, gaining people's trust, and then started making those alliances on day 4 or 5.

His Katrina story was a smart move from a strategic point of view. It got him major sympathy right away and even Marisa, who said she didn't trust him, believed the Katrina story.

From an ethical point of view, of course, it was disgusting. If I was a contestant out there, I would have kicked his ass as soon as I found out he was lying.
