Entertainment Tonight caught up with Big Brother 11’s Russell, last week’s evictee, and asked him about his time in the Big Brother house.

Russell is claiming that all of his bad actions and super charged rants were all an act. He says he was playing a character. That’s his story and he is sticking to it. Do you believe him? Read on and judge for yourself!

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.

ET: Were you just playing the game, like “Ronnie the rat” — who told us that he’s only a bad guy on TV?
RUSSELL: It’s a character I chose to play in the game. I decided to be the villain. It was all just an act.

ET: Any regrets? Would you do anything differently?
RUSSELL: I would have found the Laura Banana. I never want a banana again.

ET: You said you hoped Michele wins. Were you trying to comfort her or is she your pick to take it all?
RUSSELL: I was just trying to comfort her and get her vote.

As I have said before, Russell was definitely the Jeckyll & Hyde of the Big Brother house. He could be sweet and sympathetic, but really, it came across as insencere and self serving. His dark side, however, was pure evil! He was one of the bigget bullies ever to reside in the Bog Brother house. But eventually that bullying lead to his eviction.

Despite Russell being pushy and even straight up mean sometimes, he was sort of likeable. I personally LOVED it when he was all over Ronnie’s shiz, riding his ass and calling him out for days on end while “Ronnie the Rat” was HOH. Russell’s badgering caused the uber geek to have quite a difficult week. Ronnie barely left his room.

But eventually Russell and his outbursts led to his demise. You can only kick a dog so many times before it bites back, and the houseguests were that dog…and they DID bite back.
