The problem with Russell and Jesse's alliance is that they are only both using each other for different reasons. It's not an alliance that will hold for long. They don't even like each other. Memphis and Dan were friends and enjoyed each other's company. These two have a tenuous relationship at best.

Ulcers come from a virus. Stress, coffee, etc just irritate it. Least that's what my Dr told me.

Maybe I spoke too soon - just looked this up about IQ levels:

http://wilderdom.com/intelligence/IQWhatScoresMean.html

Mind you, I'm also of the theory that like vanity sizing (putting smaller and smaller numbers on labels so women feel better about themselves and buy more clothes), there's such a think as vanity scholastic achievement (ie the entire team gets a trophy, the entire class gets prizes and ribbons) and perhaps vanity IQ testing.

You know, the way just about every parent you meet these days tells you their kid is "gifted."

Rennie, Russell has no idea what he is doing. Jeff had little choice but to align with Russell. Russell's gone in a few weeks anyway. He can't play this game very evenly.

Very true, Lajonesin. But neither are as "gamesmart" as D/M. They don't know they are digging their own holes. They call all this male chauvinist talk to each other....friendship. And, I agree it won't hold.

An IQ above 130 is usually considered *gifted* and the lowest level to enter gifted classes in school. HOWEVER, many of my best students were not *gifted* because IQ measures only a narrow type of intelligence, verbal/liguistic/mathematical.

In general, it is a measure of potential, rather than achievement. There's quite a bit of research now on Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences being a better predictor of success than IQ. Social Intelligences and Emotional Intelligences are also modes of thinking getting much analysis. Hubby is involved in research that shows your EQ (Emotional Quotient) is a better predictor of happiness AND success than an IQ, and researchers aren't even really zoned in on an accurate EQ scoring yet.

(Sorry, a bit of a personal focus here.)

Lajon,

I hope Russ's all over the place gameplay doesn't harm J/J in any way

Km, ITA. I know I'm not a 'genius', just a really good test taker.

Russell needs to just calm do. Maybe Michele did it on purpose. She knows if you talk about a man's pecker not working - he'll be in an uproar. Maybe she does want Ronnie to stay. Who knows. I personally think she's just socially inept. Does anyone know how tall Russell is - dude has some serious short man issues.

I think I do well on IQ tests because I'm really good at those sequential number tests. But I suck at math. So it kind of evens itself out in my real life I guess.

Russell will do much better when he is no longer HoH thinking he is special and when he decides which guy he wants to go steady with -- Jessie or Jeff.

Ronnie is not staying! J/J/M/K are solid about voting out Ronnie no matter what drama unfolds today.

I think this is Russell's way of hiding his alliance with Michelle. He's so blowing it though. He overdoes it to the point of starting a real fight.

Why hasn't Jessie been booted for what he did to Lydia?

Okay I keep listening to Michelles's voice and Just now I had the feeds dropped and I heard her talk! And it hit me she sounds and talks just like my Son's Girlfriend, She also is Very Smart has been in the peace core works with Womans groups to help them start there own Business etc! And even after all these years I don't feel that close to her as I thought I would!

Lajonesin, there's that too. I'm very good at puzzles, but I don't pretend to think that puts me above others - it just means that I enjoy them enough and have done them enough that I've become quite good at them.

From the beginning when Ronnie started bragging about being a national debate champion or whatever, I figured he's just one of those people who's good at lots of different kinds of competitions - because he enjoys them and has done a lot of them and therefore is experienced and likely to do better at them.

But as we've seen, he's no match for what I believe to be the ultimate competition - Big Brother. Playing within a set of rules for a specific period of time is something many can master; playing 24/7 for several months with loose rules and broad parameters - and where the social game is as important as the strategic game - is entirely different.

He's no Dr Will; few people are.

So Jessie decided not to talk to Jeff today re keeping Ronnie, eh? I like how he tells others to this or that, but when it comes to him, he does nothing.
