This game is designed to make people crack.
They want people that are going to crack.
No one can know whether they would crack until they are in the house.

Emm119 -- of course it will not be OK for Brenden to tell Ragan to get over losing his man. If Brenden does say that, Ragan will claim he is being bullied -- something Ragan can do to others (indirectly behind their backs, of course) but something that is the ultimate sin against Ragan.

He is attached to Matt emotionally.

I shudder to think he is an ast. Prof teaching our children.

He has highs and lows he can't control, yet should be able to, as an adult, but because he is a clinger, to what he perceives as a trusted friendship.

It's not anything, but INSECURITY he does NOT recognize.

Ragan shows his emotions through his so-called slam poetry.

Matt sees him as a means to an end, and now as a barnacle.

Ragan will put on a brave face, but deep down he will be hurt.....He needs to work on his clinging, misplaced, emotional neediness of people, who will continue to hurt/use him.

Ragan needs a few sessions on the couch.

ITA, he needs to come to the conclusion, like I have, that while it's nice to be liked it's way more important to be respected.

Do they do ANY psychological testing for this show? Poor Ragan has cried more than any other contestant, male or female.

He makes me feel guilty. I'm a lesbian and his behavior has enraged me at times. My reaction is as unhealthy as his insecurity. So I fast forward through his appearances now.

Anyone remember Bunky? He was like a faucet he cried so much. But I agree that Ragan has boohoohooed more.

his injury to his back is too deep and the knife is still stuck in there... you can only guess his suffering.

Glad Matt is trying to help him feel better, but his "relationship" with Matt has largely been in his imagination.

I am proud of Ragan the way he is handling this conversation with Matt. I would not have expected it. Makes me wonder if he got meds in the DR.

Maybe not, but I try not to hold anything much against any hg because I think being in the BB house tends to make most hgs deteriorate (for lack of a better word)...some get mean, some get crazy, some get overly emotional...tears, yelling or both... they all get a bit paranoid (well most do, Dr. Will did none of this).

I think it is probably not the easiest thing to tell if someone is really psychologically equipped to handle BB because no one ever experiences it until they are actually in there.

I think most of them are different as hgs than they are in their real lives. They have nothing to do but be in BB, no other people, no support except from people they don't really know and can't really trust, not much to do, no work, no play, no tv, no socializing, lots of boredom etc.

I think more hgs than usual didn't deteriorate (again, for lack of a better word) this season...Brit and all 4 of the Brigade. Even Brendon now that Rachel is gone. Also, Kathy (although maybe her lack of energy was because the game really got to her). I don't think BB got to them as much as it usually gets to most hgs and definitely has gotten to Ragan.

every season we get to call someone bipolar... oh what Fun!

i think most people in the world are a balance of Sad or happy depending on the circumstances. From what I understand from Criminology, its those 'one dimensional' always controlled personalities that are malignant.

Havent watched much live feeds, But it seems to me that Ragan's constant Whining tone of voice is the issue.

Seems like Ragan's been medicated the past few days. Now if they could just add an anti-vile drug to the anti-psychotic, we'd all have a reason to party.

I don't think he has psycological problems.
I think he got confused about why he was there. He got so caught up in making life long friendships with the other house guests that he forgot he was supposed to make good TV and play a game.He actually chose to do neither.

He will always be remembered at my house as "The Drama Killa"

It's funny that he was voted to be the new Saboteur because he had been sabotaging the show all along.

I just read this that Ragan wrote on his own blog and its sooooooo ironic:

People I Don’t Trust:
Posted on December 23, 2009 by ragan

* People who are ALWAYS in relationships.
* People who are ALWAYS single, which explains why I don’t always trust my own judgment.
* People who use a history of chaos to justify a future of turmoil.
* Friends of my friends who, in group conversations, turn their backs to my face and wall me out of the discussion.
* Men and women who bond via negativity, like building a friendship out of mutual disdain for a third person.


What can one even say- lol! He was totally describing what he has become during Big Brother!

Sad thing is... he knows he's become what he hates but he still can't help himself. He still sinks down to the same level constantly.

Ragan is so smug. He thinks he is always right. If he had any height and weight I envision him as a big bully.

He needs to get a grip come Thursday night. He was practicing his new and improved mean comments for Rachel.
Once he walks out the door there is no reason to continue trash talking Rachel.
He will look like the worst poor sport in Big Brother history if goes into the jury house and blasts her on camera for no reason.
He hated her in the house because she evicted Kristen and he was PO'd because he wanted Kathy to go. Never mind Kathy was not a threat to Rachel and Kristen was.
Ragans lack of game play this entire game and his viscious never ending comments will make him one player I hope to never see again.

I don't know if Ragan is equipped or not...

... All I know for sure is that I am not psychologically equipped for this season...

What the heck does it mean?

In French I read on Ragan's arm

"Quelquefois un rêve est ce qui vous fait un esclave"

for those who don't understand French it means
"sometime a dream is what makes you a slave"

What the heck does it mean???????

Pippin and Jimmer gave similar answsers..

My interpretation of that would be that sometimes if you want something very badly (i.e. it is your dream) you can become a slave to it in the sense that it is all you think about and work toward. Just my interpretation though.

ETA: I googled it and it is a song title.

Thanks Jimmer,

Pippin gave a similar answer at the pics thread...

Spunky......it means that if you focus on a dream that you can never achieve you will become a slave to the dream and never be able to move on.

I find that a very negative thinking, as 'dreams' should keep you motivated and strive to achieve that goal... shouldn't be seen as slavery.. especially a college professor that's the first advice he should give his students! oh well...

And yet with all the drama from him, has anyone in the history of BB ever gone out with more class? I have not watched the show much this season and don't even know who to love or who to hate, but I was impressed with his level headed approach to leaving.

And I was talking about the actual leaving within the house, not his talk with Julie. I did not see all of that because I got a phone call and had to turn it down, so I don't know if he did any trash talking about anyone.

Lots of them go out with class. Seems to me that it's more that do than don't. His post game interview was mindnumbing. And of course, he ragged on Rachel. He couldn't even get through his exit speech without the ooeygooeycookie crap.

I'm not sure he'll ever stop. Deap. Seated. Hatred.

I cannot wait till he justifies Matt's big lie cause he will. If Rachel had done the same thing, he'd make it his epitaph.
