Ronnie not really a champion according to VFTW

Angela2002 · 07-17-2009, 09:21 AM

I lurked over at the Vote For the Worst.com Big Brother forum thread and saw a discussion about how apparently what Ronnie said to Chima about being a champion persuasion speaker is not true.

From CBS.com
This student is most proud of being a national champion in speech and debate, as he feels this activity is where he excels.

Okay the discussion on Vote For The Worst.

Wow! Great stuff Angela2002! man what a weasel this guy is!!

I'm not surprised at all. I thought he was talking bollocks when he said he was a national persuasion champion. I just figured that no one laughed at him because they're so involved with the game that they forget to look in his eyes or even at his face when he's talking. I mean, he really looks shady when he's lying. At least to me. The Pi Kappa Delta thing sounds like he won some Frat tourney. So he was better at it than the rest of the drunks who lived in his frat house. Big deal.

There used to be a homeless drunk who panhandled at the Ealing Broadway underground station back in the 90s when I was doing some consulting work nearby. Despite being permanently drunk, he was able to have fairly lucid conversations. I see similar things in Ronnie's future.

180 points, not a single one of which was at the National level in which you need to outperform others at in order to represent your state. So he didn't even get past a couple of minor debates.

Ronnie should not even be in his clique. Flaking on the sofa, eating chips and playing World of Warcraft is not a sign of academic prowess.

Is anyone even surprised? Ronnie is a desperate little weasel. Wait until he finds out America hates him. I think he's one of those people(like AMber) who go into this thinking(and wanting) America to love him.

He is one of those people..and when he finds out we hate him he will cry and won't understand why. Things is, he is no Dr.Will and that's who I think he is trying to be.

Nice detective work btw!

From what Chill_SD posted now we know that Ronnie is good at being a drama queen.

Shunned · 07-17-2009, 11:57 AM

He doesn't strike me as the type who would really care if America likes him. I think he wants to be accepted by certain types of people whom he is not normally associated with, such as Jessie. I don't know why, though. I think being notorious and admired for his clever if evil game play would appeal to him much more than being liked. Unfortunately for him, I don't think he'll get any of that. Or the $500K. I can see people from either side of the house wanting him out at some point. Only Natalie and Jessie seem to think he's trustworthy, although the others are thankful for his duplicity with the cool kid team at the moment. It'll change, I'm sure.
