I'm puzzled as to why Laura isn't using them hiding her in the bathroom as leverage against them to not put her up. Is it because she doesn't want to campaign to stay against Jordan? Would Natalie care if she found out they did that?

With Natalie's temper who can tell? I just want Laura or Jordan to let it be known that Lydia, Chima and Kevin were in on the plan to oust Russell. Last week I wanted Russell out, now I want him to stay and oust Ronnie.

Hi all...new name for me this season, since I couldn't remember what I used last season but... I just have to say, I've been on a roll calling the gameplay here at home(yeah, easy I know). I figured out that Jesse was going after Braden as soon as the initial noms were made. As soon as Ronnie won HOH I predicted that he'd go after Russel. I thought that was going to make me two for two. I thought, hey the guy is dorky but supposed to be really smart. The SMART thing to do would be to get rid of Russel at this point. So what's the deal? How in the world is Laura more of a threat to him than Russel. All the points made of taking him out now, before the endurance comps, before the jury house all made complete sense! What happened?? So what Jordon smarted off to him, I'm sure she's just so threatening and he's shaking in his boots over HER?? Doesn't make sense. So... how many think it will flip back to Russel before the ceremony today?

Do we not have a conspiracy thread this year? Why are they doing the POV ceremony on Monday ... I thought it was always on Sunday so they would have enough time to edit Tuesday's show together. Could it be that they are waiting for a certain producer to "influence" the decision with Ronnie on Monday morning?

Laura is the villain for talking down to Jessie. Therefore she has to go and his minions must obey. Jessie doesn't want Russell gone yet as far as I understand it, so therefore Ronnie must listen to Jessie and do what he says. Jessie is still running the house no matter who is in HOH. Thanks alot AG..

Delurker, I agree. If Chima felt the least bit threatened by Russel, she'd pressure Ronnie to take him out. If Russel knew she was in on it too.... ooooo that would be fun to watch, lol.

Hi Mom! (LOL!) I am SO hoping it flips back to evicting Russell. I thought it was the smart thing to do, too. It appears that Ronnie fears beautiful, intelligent women more than he fears big, muscular, macho men!

I doubt it flips back unless Laura, Jeff or Casey do some serious talking. They would have to convince Lydia, Chima & Kevin again who would then convince Ronnie. I can't see Jesse or Natalie letting that happen.

Delurker, I'm wondering why they haven't used the 'hiding Laura in the bathroom' tidbit to get the Aths (esp. Nat) all in a tizzy!

I don't know... I don't necessarily think Jesse is running the house quite yet. He was in the dark about what Ronnie was going to do during the vote Thurs. He was just as surprised as most of us were. I really don't think Ronnie wants to go to the end with Jesse anyway. I think it's a front, so he can get him out but still feel safe around him. That's why it's important to make taking Russel out "ok" with Jesse too. That's where Chima comes in to help.

I don't think Laura would do that to Jordan. Their friendship is genuine.

Since this year is all about High School, I wish they had a bell to wake them up!! I guess since Jessie didnt go to bed til 5:30 they are letting them sleep in? I thought maybe they would wake them early in order to film and edit before tomorrow night's show.

Hi Rosem, I agree, it is the smart thing to do. I'm thinking it may be strategy to go back and forth with it, so it looks like he doesn't care one way or the other, which one it is that goes. He can't fight too hard for what he wants, know what I mean, because that would give it away. I'm hoping so..., lol

I thought I had seen Ronnie telling Jessie&co. that he was putting Laura and Jeff up. If Jessie said he didnt know...he was lying.

I think Jesse's "surprise" was a result of just the normal can I really trust this person, oh great yes I can. I think the Jesse/Nat/Chima/Ronnie final four alliance is as strong as any alliance by such people can be and the flip from backdooring Russell on Jesse's say so is evidence of that.

I see where it looks that way, Kids... I'm just hoping that's the strategy, to make it look that way... Out of the 4 of them, who are the first 3 strongest targets for the others to take out?

I think currently Jesse is the strongest, he has the "experience" reputation with the NBKers, has Natalie in his back pocket, has Lydia .. well 'nuff said. The next three are all currently equal in my book, all part of that we can get them out next time group

Exactly, all I'm saying is that out of that 4, Ronnie is not the number 1 target (or number 2 if you really think logically about it, Chima would be, she has Ronnie in her clique and Nat in her back pocket and she's explosive and abusive, people don't like to play with people like that)and Ronnie would be forgiven(for the time being, but not forgotten) easier simply because he'd actually be willing to go back to the other side at the right time and they're desparate for votes. Like Casey said, lol... it's easier to beg for forgiveness than get permission first. Isn't that what Will did, to an extent? Isn't that what Dan did, to an extent?

Ronnie might be "smart" book wise, but he has no common sense. That seems to go together. I have a friend who is very smart but when it comes to common sense, she must have been absent when it was handed out.

Ronnie will be gone early in the game. He has played too many people. they all will want him gone.

I hope so, Joyce... he's not a fav of mine by far! My early fav is Michelle. Needs to step up her game some, but right now, why bother? Let the house do what it wants and work with what's left, lol.

What I don't understand is why they haven't gone after two people in the same clique? It seems to me to make more sense to decimate the power in a particular clique by nominating two people, and then if one gets taken off by POV then nominating the third person...cut down the power before they get in control. So far they are nominating people from different cliques. If I was HOH I would go after the strongest clique...i.e, the athletes...they have an overwhelming majority at this point and if the others don't watch out they will soon have way too much power (as opposed to the booming egos they now all have). JEFF TO WIN POV!
