"Why does she keep picking Russ?"
Is it just me or does anyone else get the creeps by just looking at him? He looks like a complete psycho. No offense to any of you who like him.

1. "RE: Why does she keep picking Russ?"
I agree, the guy as a Psycho-smile look about him... it'll be "interesting" if we see his "mother" during the trip's home.

The guy also just comes off as way too high-maintenance and needy... I was hoping she was setting him up to fall on his face after he was carrying on about "not being worried at all" and she was remarking that "well I can't give everyone a rose."

Russ makes me cringe. I have to turn away when they show flashbacks of his make-out session with Trista. My opinion of Trista goes way down each time she picks him.

In the latest National Enquirer, they say she knew this guy from before the show. She's quoted as saying, "It was the third time we met and he was saying 'third time's a charm'" with the braclet, etc. Take this for what it's worth.

4. "RE: Why does she keep picking Russ?"
Totally agree. I don't understand it, either.

He was soooo pushy in Ep. 2, and Trista made him wait for the last rose. Now he's so hands-off that it's humorous. Looks to me like he's trying all-too-hard to adapt to what he thinks Trista wants. I can understand that... to a point. But it also shows him to be a fake that will do anything belowboard (as opposed to aboveboard) to win.

If that is what Trista wants, who am I to complain?!?!

Totally agree, do NOT like Russ. Even her friends last night were like "That's Russ?"

She should have picked Bob instead of Russ. Course I'm biased, being from Michigan.

LOL, you beat me to it Ashmo...I was going to ask the same question this morning. I don't get it either....the guy is a sleazy creep. Jamie, Bob and the other guys that got sent off last night are probably much more sincere and real than he is. My opinion of her diminished last night too. He said it himself when he told her he wasn't being him on the date....in other words he was saying i wasn't being forceful, pushy, overbearing etc

Creepy is right. As I said on another thread, he seems like he'd be a Cling-On. LOL at Chrissy Gal on the make-out session. I have to turn away also. Reminds me of that horrible suck-face session between Liza Minelli and her husband. EWWWWW!!

she needs to get rid of him and run far, far away.

and maybe i'm being a bit biased because i think jamie is such a hot honey, but there is NO WAY i would have let him go anywhere without kicking the tires. that boy is oozing fun! mr. sorgee has to cover my eyes when jamie is on the screen!!!!

9. "RE: russ = stalker"
folks, you gotta remember that this stuff is very highly edited. nothing is as it seems. there was a long interview with russ on the radio alice morning show (sf bay area) this morning - he seems to be completely different in "reality" than they portray him on so-called reality tv. i'm sure the same is true for all of them, including trista herself (she's no longer a physical therapist in miami, for example, but a tv wannabe in l.a.).

10. "RE: Why does she keep picking Russ?"
I guess it just goes to show we don't all see people the same way. An overwhelming amount of viewers (including her friends) did not care for Russ. But Trista seems drawn to him. Maybe it was the gift. Give her a present and she will keep the guy around. He has that smarmy look and attitude. I shudder everytime I see him on the screen. But I have to admit I am curious to see his family. What kind of family did he come from?

Agreed He's gross. I was really hoping she wouldn't pick him. I would much rather she picked Bob.

He's the biggest freak I've ever come across, and there have been many! This guy is so slimy and creepy.

Why does she keep picking him? Low self esteem? Masochist tendency? Poor judge of character?

Um, maybe because she is superficial??? I can't beleive no one has picked up on her shallowness. Am I alone here or was that a given?

Agreed. She is superficial. I also think that she has her mind made up with Charlie and everyone else is just brought along for ratings, drama, whatever.

Totally agree re the ratings and drama. I'm also convinced she knows in her mind the final two will be Charlie and Ryan regardless of what happens on the dates and family meets - she even said pre-rose ceremony that she was sure of two who would make it through. Russ gets dumped in the final 3 - the audience cheers!

I don't doubt she is superficial, au contraire! That's makes it even more baffling! He's not attractive at all compared to some of the good bye boys. I guess she's superficial with bad taste to boot.

Why does she keep picking him?
>Low self esteem? Masochist tendency?
>Poor judge of character?

How about all of the above? I myself would have picked Bob, Rob, or Jamie before Russ. In ep. 2 she said something about "sparks" going off everytime she sees him, so he must have some chemistry w/her that doesn't translate to the camara.

Maybe Russ has some strange mind control over Trista. He has her hypnotized into thinking they are this great couple. There is no other explanation for why everyone but her seems to see him for what he is. Take the bracelet off Trista!!!

It has to be mind control, there is no other explanation Loree. Maybe this is the week she snaps out of it and boots this guy. He just gives me the willie's.

Hey everyone,

I am new at Reality TV World. I do believe that Russ is kinda eerie. His whole presence is intimidating to me. I wonder if she won't give him a rose in the next episode?!?! Hmmm...let's see what happens.

Trista keeps picking Russ because she thought he had money. Up until tonight's episode he had been telling her that he was an IT Executive, but he finally told her that he had spent the last year writing a book. Sound like Joe Millionaire?

I can't stand Russ. I feel drop kicking him. He's way to femmy. I can't stand Trista either. She's dripping with superficiality. Personally I don't think that she is going for any of the guy's on the show -- she's just thinking of what gigs she can get in LA after the show is over.
