Since, I believe that was pre-show convo with AG. But I agree, there is manipulation going on. It's subtle, but they know by now how to push personalities to an end game they have in mind. To a point. Most humans are unpredictable and will eventually make their own decisions on the spot, rather than thinking things through.

It is hard to tell with Russ cause I truly think he is just as smart as he is athletic. And because of his profession he is used to trash talking and does it well...

Even when it seems that someone is favored to win HOH, it doesn't always turn out that way... just sayin'.

I don't think anyone will put up Ronnie next week because they wll view him as a weak player that you could get out at "any time" Kind of the way Will was nominated weeks after week but they never voted him out since there was bigger fish to fry. Ronnie's stupid game play may actually help him get farther in the game but I don't see him making final two but I would bet he makes jury

I have said from the first week that I think Russell is the best at this game. He has a enough prowess to use all his skills and the guts to pull it off. Sometimes he over reacts but then he figures a way to bring it back to his advantage, which is what he is doing with Ronnie. He over did it so he is figuring a way to use that for his game. They should have gotten him out when they had the chance but he used his intimidation skills to avert that.

If they don't get him out now, I hope he does make jury so he can irritate the ones who DIDN'T vote him out when they should have.

Right Delurker. These people don't seem to ever learn from their mistakes.

Russ' bio...In fact, his brash personality is probably his biggest asset outside the house, where he is a mixed martial arts fighter. I think with the combo of brains and brawn and brashness he will go to the end...if they let him.

Oh yes, fighting is a sport for him. He was a banker after college and now works out of executive board rooms leasing large sections of commercial buildings.....requires a good memory of numbers, sq footage, former owners...etc. He explained it all to Jesse a few nights ago at the pool table.

I don't think the game is set up for Jesse to win. I just think he has an unfair advantage by getting a do over. I am NOT a Jesse fan but he has seemed to learn from his mistakes last season. I do think, however, that sooner or later his ego will get ahead of his brain and he will make a mistake.

So what's up with Jordan today? Is she behaving? I really really need her to stay in the house a little longer. I heard Jeff is real cranky, hope he doesn't blow it for his girl.

I agree Mimi. I think they manipulate only to keep the action moving. Whoever wins is irrelevant to them as long as sponsors are happy with the ratings. Drama=viewers=money. It's all about the dollar.

Isn't Russell worried about Ronnie spilling the beans when Ronnie HAS to leave the HOH?! Ronnie will tell Michelle,Kevin,Casey,Jessie,Chima, ah hell, he will tell ANYONE he talks to!

I really want Jeff to win but don't think he will make it cause he is too good hearted. He does keep us laughing. You can can really see when Russ' brain is working! He gets that "look"!

I am trying to figure out what Russ is up to. If Jessie told Russ that he wants to keep Ronnie, why did Russ tell Ronnie he was the only one wanting to keep him? I hope Russ is trying to undermine Jessie. I can't believe no one is trying to pit Jessie and Russ against each other as the true Alpha Male in the house.

Russell scares even me whenever he asks a question to someone that is game related. He gets this look that strikes terror and seems to be asking in a way that implies your life depends on your answer.

I think Russell has a soft side... remember last night when he complimented Nat on her diamond earrings and asked if they were from her dad? When she said yes, he got a huge sweet grin and said: "cuz that's what dads DO..." awww, I loved it!

At least it makes next week somewhat interesting- will Ronnie survive? Will he save himself? Will he quit? After the dud that last night's show was, they need next week to work well. (a little OT- TAR XV information is coming out!)
