Matt asks if he can talk to Ragan outside, and Kathy encourages him to take his drink because he’ll need it. Matt comes right out with his lie and it’s insanely awkward. He’s all “sorry?” and Ragan is speechless. Matt takes his leave of Ragan, who just stares into his lap. He likens it to feeling like Charlie Brown when Lucy took the football away. Everyone eventually heads out to check on him, including Matt. Ragan fesses up to being a professor and Rachel asks if his degree helped him in the game. Then she manages to make it all about her in about three seconds. She asks if she had a bad social game. He says yes, because she wore her heart on her sleeve and says they were the two most emotional players in the game. She goes back to everyone being against her from day one. He tells her that she was at the center of every argument that occurred while she was there and since she left, no one has raised their voice. And he isn’t right now, incidentally. He’s completely calm. She can’t believe he’d say that. He says this is a pointless conversation, because they live in different realities. She counters by saying there’s never been a fight in the jury house until he got there. He says, “You’re right, it’s me. I’m the common denominator of all the fights in the house.” She says, “Go grab your tiara Ragan and be a queen, I’m over you,” stomping away with a flourish she thinks is ratings GOLD. Brendon goes off to comfort the biggest queen of all. She really thinks she makes such good TV, which is the problem. And since the only other interesting person on the show this season isn’t at the jury house yet, this is what we’re left to watch.
