StockardFan, to highlight, Kevin won the POV competition, which was trying to lift eggs from a basket on the other side of a chicken wire fence and carry them up the side with their fingers and bring them through a box at the top. First one to get 12 over intact wins. Kevin was pretty much neck-and-neck with Russell and Lydia. Kevin won and Russell finished just seconds after. He tried to distract Kevin the whole time by pulling his usual annoyances on him, but Kevin made it through.
Before the competition, Russell pulled "houseguest choice" when choosing partners and he went with Jeff. His reasoning was that his alliance had put him on the block when he didn't do it to them when he was HOH. Jessie was very mad that Russell didn't choose him and goes on complaining about it nonstop (this came out more in Afte Dark).
Kevin decided NOT to use the POV because of the two sides he was pulled by: being friends with Lydia, or going against Chima. He was torn, but decided not to use it so he wouldn't upset Chima.
Kevin DID make the right choice, but of course Lydia won't understand it, for obvious reasons. Looking at numbers, he was safer to keep it as it was. He could either piss off just Lydia, or piss of Chima, who would go back to Jessie and Natalie, so that's 1 to 3. His odds of staying in the house would be better with Chima.
I don't know how I feel about Jeff using the power. I, like him, would like to see Jessie vs. Natalie on the block to see what happens, but I don't know if it's the smartest move he could make. He's been quiet all of this time, making no real enemies. If he uses the power to take Russell off the block, he'll have the house after him.
Watching After Dark the past few days, Russell seems to seclude himself from the rest of the house. Everyone would be inside and he'd be outside, sitting on the couch. Last night they were playing some game that was made up of truth cards, and they were all asking each other the questions, really getting along. But Russell was in bed instead. It seems like things like this happen all of the time.
