Actually, Ryan never said that. He simply sent Ace back to safety. Ace very well could have been in the bottom two, but keeping Katharine (I'm going to have to get used to that odd spelling...) up there was better drama, regardless.
Hey that's right. I think Ace is in more danger anyway because how he's been in the bottom three twice. Being there once can be a fluke (like Bo last year). But being there more than once is a trend.
