Didn't watched the season to judge much, though I have seen some glimpse from that season, and Russel did look like a big jerk and quite arrogant especially in front of the camera, which is really a big no-no for Survivor.

Well, I guess she strategically won BY riding the coataills of a big jerk AND making friends or at least not ticking people. Social game is one of the most important aspect of the game, and I agree that it is in the same (maybe even greater weight considering that most of the time if there is no challenges and Tribal Council, that is what the castaways do - socializing with each other) weight as Strategic and Challenge profeciency. If Kim Spradlin was probably as big as a jerk as him, she would probably wouldn't win, but she gracefully managed everyone that would be eliminated but at the same time make strategic moves that doesn't make her look like a coattailer which made the Jury respect her. That is probably what is Russel missing in his game: Respect.
