I agree, I think Ronnie is going about this really stupidly. If his plan is ultimately to backdoor Russell, I don't know how he is going to collect enough votes to do so.

Hypothetically, if someone favourable to this plan wins the veto, and Ronnie puts up Russell to replace, say, Jeff:

Casey, Jeff, Jordan, Michelle vote to evict Russell (4)
but
Jessie, Natalie, Lydia, Kevin, Chima vote to evict Laura (5)

So he would have to flip one of Lydia, Kevin, Chima which I think would be borderline impossible. Lydia and Kevin are joined at the hip and have their whole 'women scorned' thing going on in the post-Braden backlash... I highly doubt they'd join sides with Jeff/Jordan whom they (crazily) heaped blame for Braden's outburst on.

Then you have Chima who's pissed at Michelle for voting to evict her last week, and who seems to think she's 'in' with the atheletes, and that they aren't just using her.

So basically, I think Ronnie is either A) completely idiotic, B) full of crap, or C) both.

EDIT: the only possible way I could see him being able to get a vote would be to flip either Lydia or Natalie, because if I am not mistaken, (might be a bit of a spoiler, but it has nothing to do with the veto or noms or anything like that): there is a bit of competition between those two for Jessie's affections. So maybe he could play off of that, but I just don't see it.
