Is Roddy campaigning against Dani outside the house?
Wendo | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 12:40 am     I don't think Roddy is "actively" campaigning against Dani. He's well aware of how the HG's feel about her. However, I do think he will do what he can to keep the HG's holding on to that hurt so that they vote emotionally, rather than logically. JMO. As to Roddy not being a manipulator. Well, he's the one who admitted he was during his exit interview with Julie Chen. She asked if his strategy was to play on the weaknesses of the HG's. He said it was and that it wasn't against the rules. Playing on people's weaknesses IS manipulation. Straight from the horses mouth as they say. |
Tobor7 | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 12:44 am     The request is flawed. If you don't do what is asked, it means you don't love the person. And that is flawed logic. Some people have no awareness of this type of abuse and don't argue with the flaw in the request. (I hope I explained this right. I'm tired.) |
Oregonfire | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 12:49 am     Of course there is always the classic reply, "If you really loved ME, you wouldn't ask me to," so the whole premise just negates itself ad infinitum. (like so many of the verbal parries we posters engage in on this board.) |
Letmeinthere | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 06:15 am     Azriel, thanks for the info. I was in that chat the other night with Amy. After I had repeated her comments about Dani, it was commented that it wasn't the real Amy and anyone could have done that. Just wanted someone to clarify that it was "the" Amy. Thanks! |
Goddess146 | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 08:56 am     The pivotal move in this game was Roddy manipulating Chiara to vote Lisa out. We saw the manipulations live on the feeds. We saw the interview with Chiara where she said that the one thing she regrets about the game was letting Roddy influence her on the Lisa vote. This manipulation could have won the game for Roddy except for the fact that his manipulation was trumped by Dani's manipulation of Jason. The quietly evil Dani outplayed the overtly evil Roddy. |
Maris | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 09:16 am     Well they are all sequestered now. According to Amy (from her Amycrews site) they are allowed to talk to each other but no outside contact. Roddy certainly could be doing some campaigning. I wonder if they are allowed to discuss the voting with each other over the next few days. Can you imagine if they all got together and compared Dani stories. No to mention the fact that Jasons mother must be in a panic with her baby back with Chiara and Amy. |
Maris | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 09:32 am     picture this if you will. Sunday night all the evictees arrive at the hotel. Before they can pick up the phone for Room service it is Roddy. A brief conversation ensues. Roddy hangs up phone, looks at his notepad smiles and says "one down, ten to go" |
Wiseolowl | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 09:34 am     Short answer - hope so -but alas, don't think it will work |
Sanfranjoshfan | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 10:45 am     Tobor7 - "The request is flawed. If you don't do what is asked, it means you don't love the person. And that is flawed logic." That makes sense...in my example, the girlfried who makes the request to her controlling boyfriend was actually making it to someone that didn't really love her...he just wanted to control her and that is not "love". Back on topic - In any case, I wonder if Josh is manipulating the ex HGs to lobby for votes for HIS favorite. Same for Amy, Chiara, Eric, etc.... After all, they ALL get to vote, they ALL get to lobby and they are all in contact with one another. I don't know why so many people are so fixated on Roddy (still under Dani's hex, maybe?). The bottom line is that Josh and Chiara and Eric are the top three ex HGs that right off the top of my head I see as having an agenda certainly as strong as any that Roddy might have. Hey....wait a minute! They showed Marcellas having drinks with Lisa's friend didn't they? OMG! It was a PLOT to control Marcellas' mind and ply him with booze to MAKE him vote to give Lisa the big bucks! I can't believe that they would allow anyone to control Marcellas that way!!! <sarcasm> They ALL get to work their agendas now....it was a factor that was built into the game for a reason. To pick Roddy and condemn him alone for it is unbelievable. I truly doubt that the same people that are putting Roddy down now would be condemning Dani for lobbying to give the win to Jason had Lisa evicted Dani instead of Jason Saturday night. Let's see a show of hands....since we all know that Dani has been an INTENSE manipulator and lobbier of votes for HER agenda IN the house....how many of you that are upset that Roddy could be campaigning for Lisa votes would be saying the same thing about DANI campaigning for Jason votes (against Lisa) if Lisa had evicted her instead of Jason? JMO |
Prisonerno6 | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 11:55 am     LOL, Maris! I don't have the live feeds, but I am enjoying reading about Danielle losing it. She was begging for a cigarette not too long ago, worrying about how bad everyone's questions would be, saying if anyone is mean to her, she'll get mean to them. This is supposed to be a strong player? Roddy doesn't need to do any campaigning, IMHO. |
Trulyscrumtious | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 05:09 am     - sorry to go off topic but I just have to ask something. Prisonerno6: Is your Screen name from the TV show 'The Prisoner'? If so, than WOW. Where I live hardly ANYONE knows what the frig I am talking about when I start with the 'I am not a number, I am a FREE MAN!' business. Well, actually, I say woman, but you get the drift, lol. Anyway, if it is in reference to the show, and just in case you didn't know, the entire series is now out on DVD. The price is steep but I hear it's worth. |
Prisonerno6 | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 06:20 am     Truly -- Who is number 1? :-) I was thinking about the parallels between The Prisoner and Big Brother a while ago. The person in charge keeps changing (number 2 vs. HOH), you never quite sure who your enemies really are, and every once in a while you get out of the house/village only to get sucked back in again. :-) |
Bcandscott | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 06:29 am     I always liked the big white bubble thing. |
Sawyou | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 06:40 am     Danielle was not "losing it." She was blowing off steam. She's handled herself very well for being locked up 3 months. |
Robinyyes | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 06:50 am     Oh please....she was a basket case....pacing, begging, feeling scared, and rightious all. And even while losing it, it was wasted. She still got to eat crow that tastes like peanut butter. lol |
Cricket | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 03:24 pm     Quote from Live Feed today: "D I don't thinkk they can. I think I will get one vote. L no.. okay we have $100 vote that Eric voted for me, I'll be you another $100 that you get more than one vote D okay you got it D cause Roddy said a lot of them are hurt. L Yeah" I'll bet he did and gee, I wonder how many times he told them they should be hurt. Ooohhhh, that man makes me ill. I sure hope we find out his real name because if he gets in politics, God Help Us! He is very dangerous. |
Crossfire | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 03:40 pm     What makes you think he would be dangerous in politics? Imagine you and him have similar political views...he might be a good one to have on your team. |
Cricket | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 08:50 pm     Crossfire, I could understand that as I believe he and I are registered in the same party. However, it's his denial of any wrongdoing on his part and always saying he forgives people when they really didn't do anything. No matter what my politics are, I'd really like to have a pretty decent person representing me who has a clear description of right and wrong and knows himself well. I guess that's why I've rooted for Dani over Roddy, because at least Dani admits what she's done, but Roddy is still in denial. It also really bothered me how he manipulated Chiara and treated Amy so badly. This isn't a guy who would put the country's well-being ahead of his own goals. |
Zeyna | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 08:55 pm     Did I miss something..has Roddy decided to go into politics? Where is this politics and "dangerous" coming from? The guy wants to live in Alaska and rent out cottages for crying out loud. |
Letmeinthere | Tuesday, September 24, 2002 - 08:58 pm     OMG Cricket.. geez, didn't realize I had so many spelling errors in my LF post.. <feels the need to go edit her posts now, but won't> Roddy be a politician? I'm with Zenya, I thought he wanted to go up to Alaska and play Grizzly Adams. |
