Archive through July 24, 2002
Ryanc2002 | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:41 pm     Curlyq - I started a similar thread on reasons to like Josh, and within hours it was just another Josh bashing thread. If you start a thread you have to expect that not everyone will agree with you. |
Maris | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 02:03 pm     chiara just said to Tonya that she was pissed at roddy and told him so yesterday becaue he didnt pick her for food competition. She told Roddy that his not picking her meant he was prepared to watch her starve for a week |
Hardywins | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 02:04 pm     Now, seconds ago, Chiara complained to Tonya that Roddy wasn't on her food competition team and that he should have been so that If she suffered, then he would too; but he (Roddy) was oblivious to Chiara's needs. |
Oregonfire | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 02:15 pm     Ah yea, some doubt is starting creep in. I mean, these folks have got to have built-in b*llsh*t detectors like the rest of us, right? You folks said it so much better than me, especially Hardywins and Curly. You've got to go rent "The Daytrippers" to see a Roddy clone. I know I've said that three times now in various posts, but Roddy can be a stereotype just like anyone else. I think he thinks he's unique. |
Maris | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 07:49 pm     Well folks, that live feed just now pretty much sealed the fact that Roddy's goose is cooked as far as chiapet is concerned. The man is dead meat and Chia has the girls (lisa and Tonya right behind her). |
Realitytvaddict | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 06:02 am     The things he says about Amy make me ill. Yet, he always is flirting with her? Men don't flirt with people that they aren't attracted to like that. Sorry, but Chia is INSECURE no matter what she says. She says she's so perfect all the time. She is far from perfect. If she was soooo classy, she wouldn't have pulled the stunts she has in the house so far. There's a picture of Amy on the webpage made for her. She looks very pretty. I like Amy and see myself in her, so maybe that's why I can identify with her. I'm not southern at all, but I do innocently flirt with men and it sometimes gets out of hand. I think Amy develops infatuations which is understandable. Roddy is older and probably looks to her to be like this perfect man. That can be alluring. However, the more I see Roddy more I think he is a jerk who thinks he is the best thing since sliced bread. I wish he would tell Amy just once that Chi is a . I hope that happens at some point. Then, I will like him a little better. ;) Perhaps, this will lead to Amy and Chi forming an alliance? Nahhhhhh..... |
Spunky | Monday, July 22, 2002 - 08:24 am     Roddy seems to me another weasel (the other is Josh)...look how he got close to Lori but then how fast he dumped her (he was the deciding vote that got her out of the house). Then he made Chiara believe she meant the world to him, then he got to Amy creating tension between the two girls. From the tv show I saw him getting on the good side of whoever has the potential of going the long run...sooner or later the others will take notice of his smooth operator tactics... |
Emo1979 | Monday, July 22, 2002 - 11:23 am     This is slightly off topic, but does Roddy remind anyone of Jack Kerouac/Sal Paradise (the main character in On the Road)?? Or any other "characters" from JK's books - which, from many descriptions of his life I've read are only thinly veiled representations of himself. He even kinda looks like him! Not to mention that he's a writer. If you've read "On The Road" maybe you'll understand what I mean when I say he seems like Sal Paradise/Jack Kerouac: a serial womanizer (he does truly love all of them, but can't commit for the long term), a witness to a lot of crazy stuff, an intelligent philosopher, someone everyone thinks is great and cool and unbreakable, but is actually a scared little kid inside, someone who's going to die of a stomach hemmorage brought on by alchoholism. ;) Sorry... I dunno what's up with me today - weird mood I guess. ;) But if it comes out that Roddy loves On the Road, you owe me. ;) |
Maris | Monday, July 22, 2002 - 11:25 am     He reminds me more of Warren Beatty in shampoo he is juggling so many women that sooner or later they will all be doing their nails together and comparing stories. Then watch out. |
Tabbyking | Monday, July 22, 2002 - 11:31 am     what does he write? forum articles? somehow i missed what kind of writing he does. i mean, does he write phone numbers and nasty limericks on stall doors...or something even fewer people read, such as math journal articles? afer this stint with BB, he can probably write a romance novel!! |
Tracy | Monday, July 22, 2002 - 11:39 am     I just read on the Live Feeds where he had a conversation with Lisa and sounded to me like he was kind of subtly complaining about Chiara and letting Lisa know he would really like to get to know her better. I think the Warren Beatty comparison is dead on. |
Bastable | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:09 pm     He's talking about how what he really wants to write is "old-fashioned philosophy." Oh, man. How much more tedious and sophomoric can you get? |
Bmh | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:17 pm     I dont like the game and the allies Roddy has but I dont think he is a bad guy..and I think he maybe is starting to see the light just in time for the vote too! He recently had a talk with Chiara about how paranoid Josh has been,and the lies Josh tells,and how they really dont trust him. and the words that came out of Roddy's mouth was "I'm thinkin about votin out Josh too"..and he hasn't had a talk about stratedgy with Josh since..and the vote is tomrrow morning/afternoon.. |
Maris | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:17 pm     Oh my favorite was when he was relating the time when Arnold Shapiro came to his hotel room and was "shocked" that He was reading Kafka. Come on, how much more pretentious can you get. I cant remember who he was telling this to but if it was me I would have answered him by saying I was reading Steppenwolf in German when he came to my room and he wasnt the least surprised. |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:21 pm     ROFLMAO, Maris. That was a good one. |
Bastable | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:33 pm     His pretentiousness takes on new dimension: He has "nine different treatments" for screenplays. That's how he calls himself a "writer." (Guess we're all writers, too!) Writer/waiter. Writer/waiter. Writer/waiter. Hey Roddy, the only difference is what you "r." |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:35 pm     i would have said i was reading 'green eggs and ham', but then maybe shapiro is orthodox and doesn't eat ham. |
Oregonfire | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:41 pm     Maris, I saw that too! What a snob--and a middle-brow snob at that (okay now who's the snob?) Brilliant comeback, BTW. Why aren't any of us sparkling witty folks in there? |
Maris | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:41 pm     That would be perfect Tabby because he would not eat them in a box or with a fox |
Goddessatlaw | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:43 pm     Well, I suppose in Roddy's theory of reality I'd be a frigging astronaut, since I've acquired a few treatments for blowhards in my day. I think we should all reanalyze our skills (and those of the houseguests) under the Roddy method. |
Wcv63 | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:44 pm     But he ended up liking green eggs and ham. That Sam I Am would never have corrupted a nice jewish boy like Shapiro as easily as he did that Cat in the Hat. I must confess that those green eggs and ham looked awfully old and mildewed. I would NEVER have caved in. |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:46 pm     well, maybe after pb&j for a week! that gets old, too! |
Bastable | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:56 pm     To eat ham in that house to to be a cannibal. |
Curlyq | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 09:57 pm     Oh, gosh. I just came back into this thread after days have passed and immediately saw my name in the top post. Ryan, if you see this I apologize if you thought I was trying to shut you up. I think you misunderstood me again. When I pointed out the title of this thread I in no way meant to imply you shouldn't be in here. I was explaining that my first post was responding to the title of the thread and not to your question. Goddessatlaw, it's so funny you used the word "blowhard" because that is the word that keeps going through my mind whenever I hear Roddy speak now. I definitely think he's not as intelligent as he wants to appear. Roddy's just figured out that if you talk fast and with a snooty attitude, people will accept what you say as known fact even if it's malarkey. |
Aerojunki | Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 04:05 pm     A player wannabe with NO CLASS..tired of watching him pick his nose & talking about chitting himself...although that was a funny story. |
