Roddy and Marc are currently having a pow wow about how to play the game. Marc's view is that he needs to be ethical, moral, and honorable.

Roddy's view is that there is a difference between being liked and being powerful. He also made sure to slip in that "going after what you perceive to be the alpha male" is pointless. Hmm...and who might that be, Roddy?

I think Marc's biggest downfall is his like and trust of Roddy. Roddy definitely sees him as a treat and wants him out soon. I'm not sure if Marc is pucking up on this, as smart as he is. Any thoughts?

That was a most interesting conversation. I especially enjoyed Roddy's comment "Microsoft does not go into partnership with the local gas station"
I also liked Mar's comeback to Roddy's strategy that Jason would be the winner.
It was a classic case of sniffing the competition.

What was the part about Jason being the winner? I missed that part. I know that Roddy was using him as an example of a nice guy but not a great game player.

Unfortunately, I agree more with Roddy's take than Marc's. Marc's niavete may be his downfall.

Watching this I interperted it that Mar and Rod will make a pack to watch out for each other.
Mar said he was not going to put up Gerry. He quizzed Rod about what Rod told Dan about Gerry replacing Josh. Rod bascially busted her by saying they agreed with her Gerry should go up.

Now Mar knows for sure that she talked after he told her it was "just between them".
Then Mar basically says that if Dan takes off Josh, Mar will put up one of the other stronger players he preceives as a threat.
That all he has heard about Rod is how smart he is and that is a going to be seen as a threat to others.
Roddy agrees but basically says the same about Mar.

Inbetween all the round about talking they both do with out showing their entire hand, they seem to have agreed to watch each others backs.
That is my sense of it anyway. But hey I'm on painkillers so maybe I'm zoned to much to know anything. LOL

This brings a new twist here, because I think Mar trust Rod and belived that he could use this as well to get further in the game. Not really needing his advice, but just opening him up to let him know, without blatenly saying it...I'll not put you up if you don't put me up.
Roddy got it and agreed in his round about way. That's what I got out of it.

So we'll have to wait and see now if these two become a new alliance...or maybe I need to go lay down now!....hahaha

This is so interesting...I'm really enjoying this. I will NOT buy the feeds...I will NOT...I will NOT....
dang free live feeds...

Oregon

I will say sorry for this in advance as it is a typo then go post it in funny comment by posters.

"Roddy definitely sees him as a treat and wants him out soon"

This is why I am always confused I thought it was Marc that though Roddy was the treat. And Marc was out and wanted Roddy to come out.

OH that was not classy but it was priceless

Hi Fly! Haven't seen you around much. Feel better! thanks for a more detailed recap. I's love if both of these players stayed in the game until the end.

{groan, classy. I really need to turn that spell check back on!}

What really bothers me about this whole conversation is that Marcellas basically said that he would put up Gerry if Danielle vetoes Tonya ....

{{{Organfire}}}Nice to see ya too...really missing being here more. Feeling okay tonight..enjoying the "show"!

I think Mar is seeing the one's he thought he could trust are not to be trusted...he knows Amy blabs...so does Gerry...Dan he knows is trying to kill him...so he has to do something to find a way to stay alive.
Maybe the ultimate would be to become one of the six pack..since he now sees it changes daily! LOL

Oregon, Roddy was saying how people should not be worried about who is the biggest threat when voting because this would come back to haunt them. If someone was to put up a player that was the biggest threat for the final win, the people who are out would dislike that person, because they are obviously trying to get rid of the competition. Mar basically said that by that strategy Jason would be the ultimate winner - nobody would put him up for nomination and nobody could win against him in the end.
I just thought it was funny because I Roddy wasn't expecting a come back, and was just trying to convince Mar that he's not a threat in a way.

LadyTex...hmm...I didn't hear it that way..but like I said ..painkillres.....anyhow...I got from this that he would NOT put up Gerry no matter what happens.
He bounced around some, but in the end he finally admitted that HE didn't feel that he could put up Gerry in any case.
That was when Rod said he would have no problem doing it and that would be his first choice.

Anyhow..not sure what I heard now...haha...I'll go back to dozing off now since Gerry is talking to Amy! LOL

Night all,

Zeyna, the best part of that conversation was immediately afterward, when Roddy put his foot in his mouth by saying Jason may be the most likeable but he's not most powerful. Marcellas immediately picked up on that and said then he should go after the most powerful people, and Roddy got a look on his face that was priceless.

He then told Marcellas that doing that would be like fighting the big kid at school. Why not just make him your friend? I guess that was his way of suggesting Marcellas should roll over and put up Gerry instead of one of the others or else he'll be picking a fight with the group.

I'm glad Marcel now knows that Danielle betrayed his trust.
