Yesterday Russell got a question about "Searching for Mr. Good Enough" and after answering he proved he was better than good enough by giving his wife a big hug when his bank reached $50,500. (The clip is shown.) Russell jumped over one question even though he knew the nswer, but he wasn't confident enough. Russell has wanted to be an artist since he was born.

He still has one JTQ and his ATA remaining.
