Oregon: I agree with some of what you said. Don't get me wrong, I am not a big fan of Amy. I think she is entertaining, but that's about as far as it goes.

I think her and Chiapet are quite similiar--different accents and different approaches, but quite similiar. And the behavior of neither one of them is worthy of respect (behavior within the house that is).

So, yeah, Amy is no innocent victim.

But I do disagree with your theory that the Roddy/Chiapet connection is real. IMO, there's just something a little off--unnatural. I compare it to Will and Shannon. As annoying as those two were, there was something authentic there. I just see Chiara clinging to Roddy and Roddy enjoying the stimulation.

P.S: I'm glad you stated your opinion. I have come to know you as an intelligent person with good insights. Please, feel free to share any time. :)

LOL, Oregon. Could you imagine her, lounging in the hammock, being fanned and fed peeled grapes?

I don't know why but I don't feel the connection is real on Roddy's part. Chiara feelings for him I believe are real.

LOL, Scorpiomom, while telling her where the pedicure was first practiced!

I think I said this on another thread (maybe more than one), so I hope I don't sound like a broken record, but Chiara's need to have Roddy's complete attention has little to do with Roddy and more to do with the triangle she's involved with outside the house. She related all this to Tonya earlier. I think it's bugging her that once again she's not good enough to keep a man's attention completely on herself (in her perception).

Amy meanwhile is saying she had problems with Chiara long before Roddy was involved. She doesn't respect a girl who has to use negative attention (playing the role of the sl*t) to get the men's attention.

Funny that they're both calling each other "white trash."

OMG I haven't read this entire thread, but while it is FOTH, I had to get out my vent on this...

"I AM more mature than Amy, I'm smarter than Amy, I have better friends than Amy..." How CATTY!!

I don't think Amy knows what she wants in regards to Roddy, last night she was saying how hot he was, tonight she was saying he was not.

Roddy says something along the lines of "So the southern belle has a crush on me... how predictable." How predictable that Roddy thinks he knows everything!

These people really get to me, sitting there no their high horse thinking they are all perfect specimens and treating others like dirt.

And Chia and Lisa talking about how horrible Amy was for flirting with Roddy when she knew Chia had already stuck her claws in him... um how much better was Chia when she was dating the Silverstein dude who had another girlfriend. Hello? Lisa? Eric has a girlfriend outside of the house!

You know, I missed most of the Shannon/Will connection, so can't fairly compare the two couples. But I just get a vibe about these two--seems very natural to me. I wasn't to thrilled about Roddy trying to manipulate Chiara with those "it's all in your head" type comments. How can he *not* know that he's acting like a total dawg? I would have so put it back on him to explain some of his sexual comments to Amy. That just goes beyond innocent flirting IMO.

I do think Roddy likes Chiara, but he is also trying to have his cake and eat it too. I'm glad Chiara called him on it--and he asked her to elaborate when she clearly didn't want to, so there you go. If he really *does* care about her, his behavior towards Amy will change. I'm sure that we'll all be waiting with baited breath to see if that happens--I know I will

Very astute observations, Curlyq! I missed Chiapet's self-analysis. It puts an interesting spin on things, doesn't it?

Jhezzie: LOL!!! Too true!! :)

Oregon - me and you are on our island by ourselves again. What more are they going to have to do to make you all believe that there are real feelings there? Try looking at things from a little bit different perspective and the world suddenly goes from being overcast to bright and sunny!

Chiara and Roddy are developing a real connection?

Then why did she parade her Robert Morris jewellery piece around? She hasn't exactly disavowed any future involvement with the real estate guy.

This is amusement for both of them while there, and strategy at least on Roddy's part. Chiara appears to love to physically drape herself over people. And as Bunny has pointed out, constantly pushes conversations in the direction of people having to compliment her.

Roddy's a big disappointment for falling into it.However, he probably sees it as just more along the his strategic continuum of flirting with all the women. He's as glib as Will was, but just isn't posturing in the diary room as much.

"If he really *does* care about her, his behavior towards Amy will change. I'm sure that we'll all be waiting with baited breath to see if that happens--I know I will."

You got that right, Oregon. I was thinking the same thing. I suspect he will cool it for awhile. But, if he really is playing the game, he will find some way to include Amy into his plot.

But then again, now that the intensity between these two girls is intensifying, maybe he no longer has to do anything but sit back, let the tension build, see them go after each other and, eventually, one will get rid of the other--and he will stay in the house.

Guys, you're being too hard on Chiarra. She did say this wasn't like her and ,come on, she IS from Manhatten. What other proof do you need? Oh yeah, she is mature. Her friends are 30(!!!) years old. Thats something.

Minnyace01: Chiara has not one, but two mean waiting for her on the outside. And one of them happens to be very wealthy and told her he wants to take things to the next level. Why would this woman--a woman who has proven money and stature are very important to her--want to be with Roddy?

Wait a sec, didn't you and I go around this issue early today? LOL! :)

I agree with Serena and Curlyq. She's got way too much on her plate. She seems to be one of those women who can't live without the validation of some guy.

Oh, she's from Manhattan? Wellll why didn't anyone say so!

I CANNOT wait for the tv show to get ahold of the "i'm from manhatten" conversation. They are going to make it just as bad as she thinks they will. My husband better not mess up the taping of that one. I have seen 1 of 6 shows now because of my darling husband...GGRRRLLL.

That's one comment that I think she's gonna regret. When I was in New York, I got a lot of that attitude, so it didn't shock me too much.

Oh, by the way, some of my best friends are New Yorkers, but none of my little nephews

Dani was just trying to convince Chiara to confront Amy about the problem. Hello? I don't think so. Dani was all like "Don't be sneaky, get it out in the open. That's how I am." Uh, how soon we forget the Gerry hand-washing incident.

Was Dani really trying to help, or just trying to stir up trouble? The other girls seem to get that Chiara just wants to talk it over with her posse but *not* get in Amy's face for the sake of the game. What kind of trouble will Dani stir up now? Will she be a turncoat and run to the Marc/Amy camp and spill?

Oregon, I think she was trying to stir up trouble. I too remember her lack of interest addressing Gerry.

She didn't until Lori put her on the spot by bringing Gerry in.

I know this is not exactaly on topic but I didn't know where else to post it with out starting a new topic.

I have to wonder about these women who go into playing a game like big brother and end up thinking they found a great man in the house. Ladies wake up in there and see the fact that those guys you are sleeping with want the money not you. They will do what ever they can to control you (ie: tell you what a great body you have and how wonderful they think you are) so that you will get them to the end where they will promtly dump your butt to take the money home.

But maybe again that is ChiChipets plan too... but I gotta wonder she looks like a woman with a major crush on.

What's interesting to me about Roddy and Chiara is that I don't find either of them THAT interesting!Both of them lack the kind of charm that a person needs to come across well on TV.
Will knew how to play to camera-Jason does that pretty well, too, but the rest of them...I don't THINK so!
One of my housemates said that Roddy is probably going to try to do every woman in the house and that when the women find out about each other Roddy is gonna be TOAST!
Now THAT would be interesting-but two average people making love just doesn't do anything for me.
