Big Brother Craze

I promised you something special while we wait for the Nomination ceremony to end, and here it is! I kept this interview in tap for when Ronnie won HOH – little did I know it would be week two!

As with all our interviews and articles here at Big Brother Craze, they are (c)451Press and BigBrotherCraze, thus copying and posting is NOT PERMITTED – you may link to this entry however and wherever you like.

So, without further ado – here’s a glimpse of the Ronnie we don’t get to see, the Ronnie through his friends’ eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. How long have you known Ronnie, and how did you meet?
I have known Ronnie for 16 years. A friend of mine had a birthday pool party and there were some people there who I didn’t know. I found that we had a mutual love of video games and Star Wars and the rest is history.

2. I know you mentioned that you weren’t a BB Fan before this, (gasp!) but as Ronnie’s there, have you gotten the Live Feeds or are you just watching the episodes?
Well, Ronnie was always talking BB with me, telling me how great the show is, etc. and I never really watched. I watched the Early Show reveal and there he was. So at that point I decided.. ok I GUESS i have to watch the episodes. This same mentality has led me to purchase the live feeds and I am now officially an addict.

3. How do you think they’re portraying Ronnie on the CBS shows – accurate? (Not that he’s gotten much airtime with all the blowups! *L*)
I think that the show has portrayed Ronnie well in “game mode”. A lot of people will think that he’s exactly like that in real life. But, I will tell you that you can’t have a more loyal, generous friend in the real world.

4. What do you think of Ronnie’s strategy to play both sides against each other?
I think it’s a good idea. He always told me that if he ever did get on the show that he would do everything he could to get people against each other as soon as possible and at the same time keep his hands clean. I think he’s done that.

5. Are you happy with the alliances he’s chosen?
I do worry that the Athletes will turn on him quicker than he may realize. I just hope that he will adapt when, not if, they do that.

6. Now that he’s HOH – do you think he can keep that up, or will he have to make a stand? Which option do you think is best for him at this point?
I think he needs to just keep playing HIS game. However, the decision to keep on what he’s doing or to change things up will depend on the amount of friction between the two sides.

7. Who do YOU hope Ronnie nominates for eviction?
Personally, I would want Russell and Laura going up. I think that would be an interesting move and would shake things up even further.

8. What do you think of the High School twist, and the other houseguests? (Jessie, Russell, Natalie, Jeff, Lydia, Casey, Kevin, Laura, Jordan, Chima, Michele, Braden)
The High School twist seems like, just as Ronnie said, a total game-changer. Most of the other houseguests I like. There are really only a couple I don’t. Those would be Russell and Natalie. Then again, I <3 Jordan.

9. The elephant in the room – Chima’s speech last night, and CBS’s editing of the blow-ups/ect. Like, hate, understand?
I think for the most part the blow-ups have been well-edited. I have seen all of them as they happened and all of the important parts are there for viewers to get a sense of what is going on.

10. And last but not least… Now that he’s won HOH, if you could have a 5 minute uncensored conversation with him right now, what would you say to Ronnie?
I would say: “Make sure you’re watching your back. They aren’t all falling for everything you’re doing but at the same time they’re going along with it until it doesn’t suit their interests. Don’t get caught up in it too much and stay on your toes!”

Thanks so much, Robert, for taking the time to chat with us here at Big Brother Craze! I know you couldn’t be prouder of Ronnie, and we wish him, Michelle, you and his friends and family all the best!
