Ronnie. Is. RETARDED.
I am glad we went for HOH (yes, it's risky, but if her was really as good of a player as he thinks he is, it could have worked out alright). BUT, I've never seen dumber nominations. He had to pick one person from each side, and then convince each of them that he/she was a pawn and after the veto he'd put up someone from the other side. Then, pray like heck that no one wins the veto. If one of them wins veto and takes themselves off, then put up a replacement from that side of the house, but make it seem more like a personal issue (or something...but he'd have time to figure it out).
The last part of that plot would be hardest to pull off...but at least he'd have a shot that no one would win/use the veto. That's better odds than just pissing off that side of the house in the first place (like he's done now).
I think he's done playing both sides now...the popular side will never trust him after this one.
Also, why in God's name would you blatantly admit that you're playing the game hard and strategically. Don't say anything at all if that's your excuse! "Oh, I'm just playing all of you in the house because I'm super-strategy-man." Yes, that's intelligent.
