From Ronnie's POV, the vote to evict Braden- *Chima is in his clique-keep the clique together if possible *Braden would charm the jury, long term, if he got that far with Ronnie-better to keep Chima *Ronnie believes his *deep deal* with jessie will carry him farther than being on the fringe of the Pops.. *temporarily, better to keep the house on a knife edge with Aths Vs Pops closely tied rather than have one dominate Any other way this eviction clearly benefits Ronnie?

Bee, you did a great job! I could never get that much word for word when I tried to help. When I saw you here I knew I could sit back. Great job!

If Jesse and Russell do have control over Ronnie (and I think they do), they would be foolish to take out Jeff. He can't hurt them right now. In fact, he will likely throw all HOH comps until they start playing as individuals, so there would be one less competitor for them. The smart thing to do, IMHO, would be to get rid of Jordan. That would all but eliminate the popular crowd, make Laura more likely to join another clique and weaken Jeff. Having said that, I don't want that to happen. I like Laura and Jordan more than I expected to, especially after tonight's show. I know I'm not seeing the whole picture, but they came out looking good, while Lydia looked like a complete joke. I also like Casey. He's smart enough to keep under the radar, yet make big decisions. I'm so excited to see Dan next week, though I don't think any of these guests will appreciate his genius in the game!

Aack! Just reread the thread. Sorry about the red dots. I was just transcribing, I swear. LOL
It's funny how you get into transcribing mode and don't even notice the words... I have done that myself Thanks for doing it!

Ronnie has stuck himself right in the middle and now has to choose sides. He should have thrown it.

Once again, a very lame competition. The elimination aspect was interesting, of course, but the questions themselves were pretty bad. Very predictable.

watching in the west coast here, and more than slightly annoyed that CBS censored Chima as she was calling out Braydon. They chose to ignore his racist comments, and then censoring her is more than a little disturbing.

Did Braeden apologize as he said he did?

I was also annoyed at CBS for editing out what Braden said, it made Chima appear over the top when I think she was correct. Braden may have been a more likeable player in many ways than Chima, but there is absolutely no excuse for what he said and I'm very happy he's gone. Some things are simply unacceptable.

I think Jesse and Russell are going to try and eliminate all the players who are taller than they are. Which is everyone.

Kitt, do you have live feeds? Just wondering, because Braden is not the only one who has made a racist comment. Chima herself has called some people "Stupid White Girls", Lydia called Braden a M**F**G White-Assed Gringo, and there have been other comments by HG's. So putting it all on Braden, to me, was totally classless and hypocritical.

There is a difference between using common swear words in an argument and using inflammatory words. If Kevin had been call a short stupid gay guy that would be one thing, but he was called another word that begins with "F". Just as calling a woman a witch with a "B" isn't as bad as calling her a four letter word that begins with a "C". Even in court, when someone claims they were assaulted, if they used inflammatory words it can be considered that they struck the first blow.

Flamongo, the east coast was censored too. We have a 5(?) second delay on live programing here. We didn't hear Chima either. Loved it during hockey season. My could score a goal and I could click off the canadian station to the american station and see it again. It was a blast.

Keldogg I saw the incident on a long youtube. I know exactly the context in which he made his comments (the "beaner" and "go back to Mexico") and it is simply unacceptable to me. I don't care whether others are throwing insults that are also inflammatory - it doesn't make what Braden said any more or less disgusting. I could never look at him again without remembering what he said so I wanted him out of the game.

What fascinates me is the hatred for the supposed hater. Braden only said what a lot of people think. Just because the words are suppressed by political correctness, does not mean the hate has gone away. In fact, it has become so insidious as you don't know who really hates you or not. I'd rather have it out on the table.

"Braden only said what a lot of people think." I'm sorry but I do not think that a person is less than me because of the colour of their skin. Braden does. I don't want to see him on tv. Simple.

As I see it, Braden made his "beaner" comment totally based on Kevin's appearance. Kevin is "Blackanese", as he calls it. So, what he said was obviously strictly based on Kevin's looks. OR he was trying to get to Lydia, who IS hispanic. It didn't fly well with me and it still doesn't.

Gidget...Braden said "I'm a white American. Go back to Mexico, you beaner." I would consider that to be him thinking he's superior.

His comment telling Kevin to go back to Mexico and that he is White and American sounded like he thought Kevin was less than him, imo.

I didn't care for it either Beek but in the greater scheme of things it is counterproductive to give it creedence.

Exactly Kitt. All this fuss over a game show. All the press outside the game show fanning the flames of racism over a remark made by nobody in the heat of an argument.

What happens outside the show doesn't concern me. He made his bed and he has to lie in it. What did concern me is me not having to watch him on Big Brother. He's out of Big Brother, I said I was happy he was out of Big Brother, so that's the end of it for me.
