I think the best thing that Rob/Russell could do is create an alliance together at the first available opportunity. Their pride will probably get in the way, but no one would ever expect it and they could play two sides of the tribe until the very end. With the "Redemption Island" factor coming into play, I definitely see both going far but not winning. They each have that killer instinct that will keep them at Redemption Island beyond the other competitors.
