Roddy cheated in HOH competition
Spunky | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:09 pm     It could be Julie Chen's fault. She wasn't quick enough in saying "I take it is your final answer" when Roddy's hand was still down. It seems to me she waited for him to rais his hand. I watched that again and yes, she just waited longer. Had she been quicker in saying "final answer", Roddy would be out. Drat.. |
Ryn | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:11 pm     She did wait much longer on that one Spunky - on some she was very fast |
Pagal | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:25 pm     Ok, here's a question. Did Julie ask Amy to raise her arm higher before or after Roddy had raised his arm? |
Bigbrotherbelle | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:27 pm     After Roddy raised his arm. |
What555456 | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:30 pm     Suppose he did cheat -- and I am not sure even if he did what people are saying he did he cheated -- but suppose he did... So what? This entire game is based on using nefarious methods. If he chooses to play by "cheating", that is just a valid as playing by back stabbing, gossping and attacking. What's the big deal? |
Max | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:30 pm     What What said.  |
Hardywins | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:31 pm     Julie advised all the contestants to raise their arms high after the 2nd true question; citing Amy specifically. On the third true question, Amy raised her paddle as high as possible, with Roddy significantly lagging behind. |
Hardywins | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:34 pm     The contestants must be held to fairness in the competition, just as Josh was called in violation for stuffing food in his pants during a food competition. The result of calling foul there was meaningless; in the case of Roddy cheating; it may well mean the difference between going home with just a stipend or have $500,000.00 in your pocket. |
Bigbrotherbelle | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:35 pm     Josh's score got disqualified when he cheated, which leads me to believe they are not allowed to cheat. |
Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:38 pm     i still think josh's whole team should have lost when he cheated. he would have been voted out, too, i'll bet, had he lost food for all of his team! |
Ryn | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:41 pm     Hardywins - actually she warned Amy after the LAST true question, not the second. And trust me of that I am confident after watching that thing 10 times now... ;) |
Guiltyviewer | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:43 pm     I think only Josh should have been penalized for his cheating by having to eat the PBJ no matter what...even though they subtracted 'his' weight from his team's total, they still had enough to win fair and square, thereby winning victory for the WHOLE team, including Josh! He should have been exempt from winning the prize (good food) and had to suffer with the losers. IMHO of course. |
Bbfanatic | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 03:54 pm     i agree tabby. joshs team should have bee eliminated. that is why they call it a team. kinda like when i was in the boot camp, one person in the company messes up, the whole company was punished. it is interesting how it changes everything. |
Crossfire | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 04:49 pm     The people who run this show completely insult my intelligence on an almost daily basis. Children would not have done any worse in setting that game up, and probably better. The 'punishment' of Josh was just an insulting farce. |
Highdesertgal | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 08:55 pm     During the total weight question, I figured my answer almost exactly in the way Realfan describes she did. I also guessed 1600 pounds. I tried cheating once as a sixth grader by copying off my neighbor's paper. I had a huge moment of insight into what I perceived as a loss of my true self, when I realized (before I turned in the quiz) that not only had I copied her answers, but I had also copied her name on my paper instead of writing mine. |
Niceguy | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 02:17 am     Roddy is talking to Eric how hard he 'worked' to be HoH this week...LOL. Julie Chen is bugging me in the way she is handling this part of her job. Jeff Probst must be looking at some of this and thinking, "That wouldn't get away with this crap on my show." Julie doesn't seem to be that involved in getting it right. I know I should get a life but this has been bothering me. |
Draheid | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 10:26 am     Kind of off topic a little, except with Niceguy's observation. Did anyone else notice Julie's lack of 'televised' continuity when she stated the nominees had been picked on Friday and the PoV competition on Satuday with the Veto cerimony on Monday ... totally out of the context of the broadcast schedule... |
Chas | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 11:09 am     I love Julie Chen, please be kind to her, she is the real reason this show is great, I look forward to seeing her fembot face every Thursday, her robotic mannerisms are heartwarming, anyway, I think Roddy was cheating though---he could feel when Amy (to his right) lifted her paddle, there must have been some air current, and he always waited till after her response to she what she said. Amy has been close in each comp. If she can survive this week, I am hoping she'll win HOH. |
Seamonkey | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 11:50 am     There were two questions where Roddy definitely waited until long after everyone else had answered.. the last question and the one about the name of Tonya's daughter. I watched that this morning and it was very clear. |
Mystery | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 11:56 am     Didn't Kent win a HOH competition last year doing the same thing (waiting for other people to answer first)? |
Seamonkey | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 12:02 pm     Yep. Which is why you'd think they'd redesign that challenge (beyond just making it flat instead of on steps). |
Hardywins | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 12:06 pm     Yes, Mysery, that was observed last year and provisions were made the next week to prevent that from happening. This year, I thought that the BB3 producers were well aware of that possibility because they had high partitions between the contestants for the soup ladle, plunger, pillow, lizard HOH competition, that they were determined to prevent the possibility of cheating. Boy, was I disappointed this HOH when the only thing seperating the hampsters was a rope. Unbelievable. Roddy, an intellectual, a bookworm, (Like Will Kirby last year) does not function well under pressure. (Will Kirby never won a HOH last year). It is unlikely that Roddy could win a HOH without cheating. |
Oregonfire | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 12:09 pm     Roddy is also a hockey player. I expect at some point a competition will include a puck and a goalie net. I have a thing for hockey players, so I am taping that one! |
Hardywins | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 01:29 pm     As a Hockey player, you would think that Roddy could respond quickly under duress; doesn't seem to make his ears very fast though when he is listening to Amy's paddle waving. |
Serena | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 01:33 pm     Hardywins, Will has claimed that he won the whole thing by 'losing at everything'. He never wanted to seem to be serious competition If you believe this, then maybe he could have won some HOH competitions if he "wanted' to |
Hardywins | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 01:43 pm     Will tried very hard to win the early HOH competitions. he complained that he didn't know that he would need to know such things as personal histories of the other contestants or things about the house. Wil soon realized that winning HOH made you a target and assumed the low profile that carried him through the show. That is the reason that I didn't feel that he shouldn't have won. Will didn't really compete, he just let Nicole anger all the others by kicking them out and personally dis-integrating emotionally and losing everyone's respect. Its a strategy that worked but only because Will stumbled into it due to lack of his own ability. |
