Rod is in there talking to Josh and Eric and he is making it quite clear that Amy is going just to protect himself basically. He thinks Amy would put up him and KiKi if she wins next hoh so that is a no no. So he will put up Marcellus with her and he is going to tell Marcellus that he is safe but if he wins the veto and vetos Amy out he will put up someone like Danielle against him to assure that they all gang up on him and smash him out. Dang, this guy is gonna bully his way too victory!

Earlier he told Gerry that he is safe from nominations because he knows that Gerry won't put him up, but told Gerry NOT to veto if he gets the veto or else he will go next. Damn... Does anyone have a spine in this game?

If someone told me how to play this game knowing I was gonna go anyway, I would work soooo hard to get that veto and I would go out in a blaze of Glory! This group is much more ruthless and threatening. They have already been blatantly rude to one contestant who chose not to play their way. Now they are flat out threatening someone into playing the game their way. This is called integrity? Sheesh what a group of losers!

I hope they all just agree with him making him think he is in total control and then totally screw him over! Ha!

Don't you agree though that it is disgusting to hear this man blow all that hot air? If there is any justice the next person who wins hoh will make sure he or Eric goes. That little army needs to be taken down and it's like no one wants to touch it right now.

I think what really got Roddy mad about Amy is that Amy ignored him after that to do with Chiara. The next morning Amy ignored him and she had an agreement with Marcellas never to be left alone with Roddy and I think that hit Roddy's ego. I am just guessing here but I think Roddy expects women to be flattered by his attention and never expected Amy to say "later for this" when it started to get messy. Roddy's visions of having a bunch of groupies protecting him pretty much went down the tubes.

Amy will go this week and then the women will look at each other and say what happened? its only the three of us now.

Does he even realize that the people he power plays are going to vote in the end? If it is Roddy and Eric , I can see Eric winning in the end because of Roddy threatening people

C1 the problem is if they put Roddy up against Eric then Eric will go. While he isn't my favorite player in the game I don't think he deserves the boot yet. Now putting up Roddy against Chiapet...that works for me :)

But maris the girls would be wise to recruit Marci real fast for some leverage but it all depends on who gets next weeks hoh. Will the girls do the guys bidding and get rid of Marci right after Amy if one of them gets hoh? These girls aren't even solid with one another. I even heard Lisa say to Eric last night she would like to see Dani go soon as she considers her a threat. I guess the ladys don't see just how much the guys are going to power play this game. Wake up girls! You're gonna look like fools sleeping with the enemy.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one immune to Roddy's so called charm. I personally find him to be a bore and a bully. His BS wouldn't float on this river any longer than a 10 foot boulder would! I sure hope these houseguests wise up to Not so HotRoddy really quick........he seems like he's got 'em fooled. Side note: I don't know what all the fuss is about concerning his "looks".....not to be petty but I've seen guys standing under bridges with "will work for food signs" that rivaled him! ( Yeah, okay...they might've been alittle thinner....but still.....! LOL)
Fa la la la la......here comes the FOH cam!

Maris and Wcv, right on!
I think Roddy expects the men to idolize him as well - he's worked most of these people quite well so far. Marcellas, of course, and it seems maybe Josh too. And Jason too? So when Amy shows signs of not being totally overcome by him, he needs to boot her. Thus, he remains in control. Plus, I suspect he would expect that his removing Amy personally would buy many points for him with Chiara, and thus cement Chiara's loyalty to him as well.

Renlee, I would say it probably has never occurred to Roddy that he may not remain in control to the end...

Poohbear he lost me as "fan" when he started really showing his condescending attitude towards women. He seems to think that women in general are incompetent and/or not his intellectual equal.

Since I've removed my Roddy rose-colored glasses I'm noticing a lot of things that about his personality that creep me out. He's controlling to a fault, a pseudo intellectual, a pyschological manipulator (this alone in this game wouldn't be a bad thing but he's being cruel about how he's utilizing it) and a know-it-all.

I'm almost hoping Roddy is playing them, as opposed to liking the girls and treating them this way out of natural process. And if he is playing them, I agree that it's below the belt the way he is doing it--and the same would go for Chiara or Lisa if they were doing the same.

It seems Roddy and Dani are using the "power play" approach the strongest. Well, today anyway.

Uh..how does strategizing make one a bully? To quote The Highlander, "There can be only one."

I have nothing against strategizing. It's Roddy I have a problem with. I'm woman enough to admit it. I just don't like the guy. :)

Poohbear I think there are more of us in this camp but they have yet to come out of the closet. So to speak. :)

For me, playing a person's affections is below the belt tactics. For some it may not be.

Only one--done so by taking the head of your opponent--certainly a rougher outcome than BB evictions:)

Telling someone not to veto or you will be "smashed" out of the game is called being a bully. Ostrisizing(sp?) someone in the house because they didn't play the game your way is called bullying. Strategizing is talking about your next move. Big difference.

Maybe, C1, but most of the hgs are doing it to each other in different ways. Some just aren't so subtle.

Jh I'm all up for strategy. Usually using someone to do your bidding is the best way, but I'm not into the power play and straight up bullying the person into submission. The funny thing is the ones doing it are the ones who always say they have sooooo much integrity when in fact they lost it the second they walked into the game.

C1 agreed. And Roddy is usually the first one to say he has the most integrity.

I know what you mean, Poohbear. I don't find Roddy handsome at all. He's okay, but not handsome. What does Marcellas see in him? :)

Man is that Rod just full of himself. He thinks he has this whole game figured out.

C1, I just posted about Roddy and how cocky he is in the Who Roddy Will Nominate thread. Fast and loose, these people are. He thinks he's got it all figured out...and it's only week three!

I guess the only thing left is to pull for at least one of these four to be done in by either Jason, Danielle, or Marcellus. This next HoH if one of them wins it's time to play very dirty. I just keep laughing at how sure Roddy is about this whole thing. Everything that guy is saying is going to come back and haunt him. Even if he makes it to the finals someone is going to tell this guy what they think of him. His whole theory on "Integrity" is gonna be thrown back in his face. By the way, where have we heard before... " It would be so cool to have us four in the house, cause the viewers would like that" ??

Do they just make cookie cutters out of the last competitors and put their clones in this game or what?

What kills me is they all go for stuff that Roddy throws out there like it's their duty to help him win, yes master any thing you say master like they are in a cult or something, and another thing too say I'm not going to campaign against someone when we are both nominated is ludicrous, do they really lose site that bad that this a game??
