Yeah, for someone who is as "game oriented" as Ronnie is, he seemed to have gotten expectations about the other players in terms of *loyalty* and *not lieing* and *their actions*. It's a game. Duh. There are no game rules that says Michelle has to remain loyal to a group that would dump her at the first chance they got. Who wants to be 5th or 6th out of a group of 5 or 6?

And Ronnie talks about his *friends* in the house. Friends? The people who want to backstab you for $500,000? This seems like the classic wasn't in the popular clique in high school and was thrilled to be part of a group now scenario and it clouded his supposed abilities to play the game.

I think one of the keys to playing the game is the ability to put yourself in the other person's shoes so you can see what motivations they have...Ronnie seems to lack that ability.

Apparently no one at Jokers can find an instance on the live feeds archives where Michelle made "personal" remarks to Ronnie about him, his wife, family, etc. Either he made it up and is sticking to his lie (or believes his lie) or she only did it when the live feeds were off. Hmmm. Nope. My bet's on: he's lieing.

What a comeuppance for him to find out that the internet watchers are on to him!

I want to hear more exit interviews like that.

And I wonder what "I take ownership of that" means to Ronnie? Sounds like, in contrast to the literal meaning of the phrase, that he's using it to avoid responsibility for his actions.

Awesome!

RTVW doesn't have a posted Ronnie interview, and the producers have cut off contestant access after someone's proven themselves to be worthy of public hate before -- remember the wall that slammed up around Amber after she happily explained the Massive Zionist Conspiracy? It's at least remotely possible that they've decided the only good publicity is total silence.

The next step would be to cut off the feeds, but someone might ask for their money back.

Reality TV World: What was said?

Ronnie: You know at this point and time I've come to realize that apparently the conversations were not aired, so I'm going to let those comments remain anonymous and I'm going to talk to Michelle on finale night and see where she stands.

Was this on the feeds? (conversation between Ronnie and Michele before his eviction) You'd think that someone who watched as much as he did knows about the feeds?

All I've been able to find so far is that Michelle said something like "Who would marry someone like you?". Ronnie, who vowed to manipulate and intimidate, couldn't take the blow to his ego.

I can only imagine how it has been for him to read the internet now that he is out of the house. Jokers has been particularly nasty about him and I imagine there is more of it on other boards. What he'll need to do is lay low and then let the attention shift to some other house guest whom the crowd moves on to dislike. But it will get stirred up again at the finale, no doubt. He's a classic example of "you can dish it out but you can't take it" imo.

Unfortunately he's also just what they could be looking for if they have another All-Stars edition. If they can bring back Chickenman, you just gotta suspect Ronnie will be high on their list.

He uses the word "absolutely" way too much. It's one of those personal "fingernails on chalkboard" things with me.

Who is this person and why is People interviewing him?

To take up a collection for whatever booze, drugs, or therapy whoever has to interview Jessie is going to need?

If Nat and Lydia go out next week under the double elim, you'll need a lot of money and somebody better alert the major distilleries and pharmaceutical companies.

Jesse's exit interview with Julie.

Watching that interview was like watching teeth pulled.

I understand not being able to interview Chima, due to her producer eviction, but what happened to the Jessie/Lydia interviews? Are they locked down and only allowed to talk to Julie and Ross the Intern right now?

I can't remember, but I think the jury gets a lot less media access than the hamsters that get booted early.

I posted the Lydia exit interview with People in another thread--I must have thought this one was only for RTVW ones.

I don't care if other interviews end up in here.

I do think the sequestered hamsters are getting a lot less press opportunities than the ones returned to the wild.

Um, America interferes every year, and there are obnoxious twists every year. Why should this be the one year America just watches and they play the game straight up?

Kevin and I's

I cringed every time during the season that gNat said this. And then she says it again in her interview.
Would someone please make her take a lesson/class in grammar?!?!

Oh, and Jessie was in love with her. yea.
Wish RTVW or someone would interview Jessie again and ask him about this.

I'd dearly love to know how difficult that interview was for Webby.

Well, she owned up to the fact that she was pushing Jeff to get Russell out -- which turned out to be a very good strategic move for her, because it led to a final two with no Jeff, no Michele and a gNat, which was probably the only final two that Dumber Jordan could have won.
