Loppes | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 03:26 pm     I have increasingly been troubled by the constant references to Roddy Mancuso having influenced the votes of the Evicted Houseguests and that he was and still is a devil. There is absolutely no evidence that Roddy influenced the votes of other houseguests. When I read Danielle's interview with EW today, I am shocked that she claims he did that. For me, this is outright continued slander and smear on her part. I would like to ask anyone who was a fan of Roddy, or those who think that Danielle should immediately stop this nonsense email Roddy directly and request that he issue a public statement and insist that she stop this continued slander. I went to his official website and here is the email to send your request to if you choose to. I'm respectfully asking those people who aren't his supporters, not to try sabotage the effort. Thank you. Lon Roddy Mancuso email address: bb3roddy@hotmail.com |
Cindyluvsroddy | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 03:30 pm     I agree - Roddy has consistantly shown that he is just a regular, nice guy .... Any slander against him is pure and utter crap based on what someone THINKS as compared to facts. |
Zachsmom | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 03:33 pm     I am a Roddy fan!! (From day 1) but I don't think emailing him will do any good..and no matter what he says his non-fans will never believe him.. I feel content in knowing he didn't and just pity those who do.. Roddy is a great guy..and when I saw him on the show and he said that he was hurt by what he saw..it just broke my heart in two..I saw the hurt in his eyes.. |
Loppes | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 03:36 pm     Zachsmom, Well its worth a try. After I read that interview of Danielle with EW where more than once she says he influenced the votes, I am livid. Cindyluvsroddy, Its Danielle that started the whole issue, I hold her responsible. Lon |
Crossfire | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 03:39 pm     I think the facts speak for themselves. Any attempt by him to correct this will only be portrayed as an attempt by him to not only manipulate the jury, but to also sway public opinion, and only make it worse. I do appreciate though that I am not the only one who feels this way. I guess much like Roddy himself, I will rely on the facts, and logic to mount a defense for him when motivated to speak up. |
Prisonerno6 | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 03:49 pm     I think it's rather sad that Danielle still can't see that her method of playing the game by pretending to be someone's friend to their face while bashing them behind their backs didn't work. It's easier for her to continue to blame Roddy rather than take responsibility for her actions. Danielle's three strongest supporters, Gerry, Amy, and Marcellas, all changed their minds about her winning before they ever spoke to Roddy, and their decisions were based completely on her actions in the house. I just hope it was worth losing her job over. It is also an insult to Lisa to say the only reason she won was because Roddy manipulated everyone into voting for her. Lisa may not have played as flashy a game as Danielle, but she made fewer mistakes. Lisa chose not to vote to bring Eric back in the house because she knew she would do better without him. Once her former allies were gone and it was clear Roddy was next on the block, she aligned herself with Jason and Danielle, and kept the alliance quiet. At the end, when it was clear that Danielle and Jason would evict Marcellas, she obtained his support, voted to evict Amy, while maintaining innocence about the plans of Danielle and Jason. And finally, in the last HOH when she absolutely had to win, she pulled out all stops and tramped Jason and Danielle. And she did all this without making promises she knew she would break and without alienating 90% of the people in the house. Personally, I think Roddy should just ignore Danielle. Her 15 minutes are up, and he should take the same tack as he did with the PB&J question, don't even acknowledge her comments as anything worthy of recognition. |
Bbfanatic | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 03:57 pm     i like roddy alot. i finally realized why after a little while. he is exactly like my husband in most every way down to being a huge hockey fan. hockey is a fast paced sport with many things going on at one time. that is how their mind works. i was not suprised when roddy was pretty quiet during the live show and also the questions. my husband is excellent one on one, excellent with maybe a group of guys (lighthearted & hilarious), but put him in a group of men & women in a social setting he gets very introverted and has the same look roddy had on his face during all of this. he looked very uncomfortable and i think many took this as him being cocky or up to no good. WRONG!! roddy is just an intelligent, deep thinking (is that how i should put it), fun-loving, honest man who is misunderstood. by the way, i do not claim to be a psychologist, just someone with 8 great years of experience with someone just like roddy. |
Katlady53 | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 04:03 pm     I think Roddy had better things to do than try to win over all of the HG's to his way of thinking. He just doesn't seem to be that type. |
Abby7 | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 04:04 pm     can someone please give me the link to the dani interview with EW that Loppes mentions? i can't find it. thanks. |
Bbfanatic | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 04:05 pm     i totally agree katlady53 |
Itsallgood | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 04:37 pm     Let people think what they want. I have a feeling this is going to come back in some way and bite her just like the votes did. I bet he has better things to do than argue with someone that "thinks" they played the game the best. As she said, she wouldn't do anything differently, she has to live with it, not him, people close to him know him and I really don't think he's going to lose sleep over it. Obviously she is upset that she didn't win the big bucks, don't know why she just can't accept that a majority of those people have ethics. A 9-1 vote says it all, no matter what she spews on the outside of that house! |
Bbfanatic | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 04:40 pm     expect the unexpected !!! |
Bbfanatic | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 04:46 pm     wow marcieb, we both dislike dannie, but like roddy. i agree with you all the way about roddy. |
Moderator | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 04:54 pm     This thread is for Roddy Fans to Unite..all non-Roddy comments will be deleted |
Zeyna | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 04:54 pm     It's easier to blame Roddy for everything then admit she lost the game for other reasons. Heck, it's probably his fault that there was no cast party too... It's just silly to blame Roddy, especially when there isn't a single shred of evidence. If it makes Dani and her supporters feel better, then go for it, but there is still no evidence. Also, if Roddy has such enormous power of suggestion, then it implies that ALL evicted HGs are complete sheep - this I do not believe. |
Loppes | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 04:58 pm     Moderator, Thank you very much, I appreciate your post. Lon |
Fungii | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 05:00 pm     I don't know why Roddy didn't ask a better question, but I'll give you a guess. If he asked her a nasty question, Danielle could go 'ghetto' on him and we would have a real 'Jerry Springer' moment that I'm sure Roddy would not want. Or she could defend herself and maybe pick up a couple votes. [Yeah, I know, not likely] Better to ask a softball question and let the final vote speak for itself. I think Roddy should just get on with his life and leave Dani to wallow in her own self-pity, looks good on her.  |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 05:00 pm     I think Roddy is a great guy. However, I find it extremely peculiar that he insists he did not lie. He does not have to do this. Because everyone in the house lied -- including Jason. His insistence that being casual with people's emotions is actually kindness is also very strange. This goes with the territory with games like these, and I'm seriously concerned about why he insists on denying these things. He doesn't have to. He played fair and square, but didn't win. There is no shame in that. |
Lucymac | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 05:12 pm     I was also very disappointed in that interview with Danielle. I had hoped that what we saw in the house was not the real Danielle and that she wouldn't really treat other people that way outside the house, but unfortunately it seems I am wrong. I know she thinks she played the best game, but I still say Lisa did as she remembered it was not only about surviving in the house but playing to the EHG's to get the votes. I like Roddy a lot, but think he is being given more credit that he deserves in influencing all the other hg's in their votes. I think they came to their conclusions on their own. Maybe Josh was swayed, but we don't know who swayed his vote. I applaud Roddy for the way he has handled himself in this! |
Whit4you | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 05:31 pm     Well luckily I think Roddy is smart enough to not worry about people who disliked him in this game. |
Loppes | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 05:39 pm     Cassie, Well said. For the most part I wanted Lisa to win. When I read the EW article today, I was just sick of the continued character assassination of the guy, by Danielle and I really think its an outright lie that he would influence the evicted houseguests on the vote like she said in the interview. Its ludicrous. Lon |
Tobor7 | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 05:58 pm     I'm a Roddy fan. I don't think an email will do anything. Wait till he does an interview. Maybe on Nightine they'll ask him. |
Strkaholic | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 06:00 pm     I think Roddy's question to Danielle about the PB&J was Roddy's ultimate insult to Danielle. She saw herself as being on his level and by asking her such a lame question, he was letting her know that she was nowhere near. She expected him to admire her for being so clever. WTG Roddy! |
Sanfranjoshfan | Friday, September 27, 2002 - 06:03 pm     That EW article was hysterical....not only does Dani refuse to take responsibility for her cruelty (she has YET to admit to ANY of her cruel remarks, MOST of which were completely OUTSIDE game play strategy)...she is now just an immature sore loser and she blames RODDY for HER behavior? She lost because the HG lost respect for her....NOT a difficult thing to do...just check the vote here at the TVCH vote thread where she only got about a third of the votes that Lisa got... and also check the polls at CBS. Show of hands, please....how many people here that watched the live feeds and did NOT want Dani to win received a phone call from Roddy? How many here were personally hypnotized by the almighty Rodster? How many of us had a one on one convo with the all powerful Rodmester and were convinced to dislike Dani? Anyone....? Still waiting..... Hmmmmm....I thought so. I say this....Roddy is a very smart guy. He knows that Dani is just an arrogant first runner up that refuses to accept her loss gracefully. I doubt that he gives it a second thought. He already knows Dani better than we do....so he already knows that her resentment and hostility and hateful attitude is something that DANI has to live with, NOT Roddy! He will just ignore it....Dani will carry it around for the rest of her life. Looks to me like Roddy will come out on top in that equation. I'm sure that Roddy doesn't care what she thinks. That's the mark of a strong and confident man. I think Dani is just trying to hurt Roddy because she is a judgemental and resentful woman. I say just let Dani stew in her own sour grapes and blame whomever she wants. Roddy, along with every Roddy supporter in this thread (plus the MAJORITY of folks both in the TVCH vote AND the CBS poll) ...well, we ALL know the truth. Jeez...maybe next year they can find some more Amys...at least Amy had the grace to walk out with class. JMO |
