I seriously wish Roddy would do something to her that would cause her to crawl over the roof to get out of the house, like that BBUK guy. If Roddy could pull that off (and we know he could), I would ride him like a thoroughbred all the way to the $500,000. He would be my first, last and only pick. I'd call him in 20x per day on America's Choice. I'd give him free legal advice on restraining orders. I'd . . I'd . . I'm just too dazzled at the prospect to think straight. Oh, well - live and hope.

Wvc63 - I also listened to that conversation last night and I have listened to other private conversations that they have had. He seems to be a totally different person when he is alone with her. That is where I am basing my assumptions of them as a couple come from. I also heard the convo about Jason. Did you think that R may have shown a little bit of jealousy toward Ja by wanting C to stop the excessive flirting with him?

Minnyace...i think that conversation shows how much he cares for Ja's feelings. I think he is fairly confident that Chiara likes him (roddy) and just doesn't want to see Jason get lead on or anything.

Minny I don't know about jealousy although that could be part of it. I think he was warning Chiara that Jason has a crush on her and if she isn't careful could really hurt him. Maybe it was concern for both? Hard to tell with Roddy.

I'm not a man, mind you. :-) But isn't the male mindset: whatever they say when they say it is 100% genuine and sincere. "I'll call you." "Should we get married in summer or winter?" "I'll call you first thing tomorrow." "Would you rather honeymoon in America or abroad?" "I'LL CALL YOU WHEN I GET HOME, I SWEAR IT."

Roddy's in this house with all his "male needs" and no prospect of hooking up with anyone other than Chiara, unless he wants to risk his life going after Lisa - unless he wants to hit on married Danielle - unless he wants to do the deed with Amy (bye, Marcellus!) - or unless he wants to succumb to Marc's wishful thinking. He NEEDS Chiarra right now, so he'll say anything, do anything, to keep the bed warm.

The minute he's out of the house, there are a zillion gals to choose from. He knows he can let Chiarra down gently, or maybe she'll ditch him, he rationalizes.

Now that I think about it - is there any possibility that Roddy might evict Chiarra, then Eric, and go after Lisa RIGHT IN THE HOUSE! I'm rooting for the couples as the Final Four just to see that happen. Lisa and Roddy - final two. Wouldn't that be somethin'?

Loriwillwin - at least from this male perspective, the answer to your question is no. The way to tell is to see how the guy is with his friends. If he brags to them about what happened, how far he got, etc., he playing around. If he says little to nothing to his buddies, only says that things are going ok, then there is something there. In the situation here, R has never said anything to E as to how far he has gotten with C, what they have done. The only thing that he has said is that things are going well between them.

Thanks for that perspective minnyace....thats what I think too (although I am a female). I've watched carefully what Roddy has said to Eric behind Chiara's back, and the only thing he has really said is that she's emotional, but usually backs it up with...but she's a great girl.
I've heard roddy say a couple times that he's really concerned about what some of the Hgs will see when they get out and he doesn't want to say anything now that will make people want to be mad at him when he gets out. I was thinking when he said this that he didn't want to say anything negative about kiki because he wants to date her (or try dating her) when he gets out of the house.

Cute, YOU are so cute. You a hopeless romantic. Don't get me wrong, there is NOTHING wrong with that. We need more of you around, and less of the more jaded people, such as myself.

That said, I think Roddy is concerned about what the Hg's think of him, because it is those same Hg's that will be voting on the final 2 players, for the big money. I do think he has a genuine concern for people, but we must remember, the BB house, is a game show. I'll say it again..A GAME show. It is a game, played for money. For Roddy, it could mean everything to him. If he won, he could finance his screenplay, or at least, finance himself so that he could afford to continue writing for quite sometime without having to worry about the rent for a while. Who knows, it is possible that you are right. But we must remember that the people who went in there, went in their to play a game, with the possible exception of Amy. And the prize at the end of the game, is $$$. I would bet that not one of the houseguests went in to find Mr. or Mrs. Right.

I agree 100% Tootseug. Roddy has made it perfectly clear that he wants to win the game, and said he would do what it takes to win. Certainly having a woman "around his finger", regardless of if it's actually true or not, is to his benefit for voting purposes. He would not only control his vote, but her vote as well. This will come increasingly important as the game continues and there are fewer and fewer players. Although it may be true that Roddy has feelings for Chiara, I think his main motivation is winning the game.

Shadow I tend to agree with you on Roddy's main motivation.

ok, ok, obviously you guys don't agree but I was always easily charmed by men ;) Thank god i'm married! I wouldn't want to have to be in Chiara's place wondering what Roddy's real motivations are.

Although I agree with those of you that Roddy may very well have genuine feelings for Chiara, I still believe that his agenda hasn't changed.

He wants to win and nobody is going to stand in his way. I still have issues with Roddy's previously stated prejudices against women. I hope he doesn't win because I just think he is already an arrogant, controlling know-it-all.

i actually didn't mean that he was changing his strategy. I meant now as in, in the house now. He said really early on (first week) that he didn't want to say mean things behind people's back or something. But that may have been while he was in the house 'honeymoon' period and couldn't wait to go to Vegas with everyone.
Thats what I meant...maybe i over romantized it but I never thought that he would change strategies...I think he still wants the core four to be there 'till it's just them and then it's a free for all (except he has said to both eric and Chiara that he wants it to be just the two of them at the end) IMO

To me Roddy seems like a gifted charmer and I find it hard to believe that Chiara is anything other than a pleasant diversion to help him pass time in the house and secure a vote. It seems he has snowed Chiara skillfully into believing they may have some kind of future together.

Chiara does not strike me as the girl that Roddy would bring home to meet mom, especially if mom has watched any of the live feeds. I agree with Shadowcat and think he has his "eyes on the prize" and it's not Chiara.

Tootseug--Well said...seems like I keep saying that too you. *wink*

Great minds think alike. :-)

"wink" back at cha Miz.

Cute, I have to say, I am impressed with your "stick2itivness" in your opinions on this. Most of us here have really challenged where you are coming from on this issue, and I admire your ardent conviction. Many of us, having been bombarded with opposing views, would have just moved on to another thread. Hats off, to you.

well, if people were bashing Roddy in a mean way I wouldn't bother to try to involve myself in that conversation...i see this as more of an exchange of ideas. It's just the feeling I get, I am someone that studies human behavior and always found people watching interesting so I feel confident in the impressions I get from people. But I also understand that I sometimes look at the world though rose coloured glasses...so I appriciate other perspectives too.

Wink, I agree with you--Roddy's body language towards Chiara speeks a thousand words.

Does anyone remember Roddy telling Chiara <> that she was to tell his parents she was anything but Italian... And being the airhead she acts like it is so cute... I think they meant to put this girl on "Temptation Island" instead of BB3...

I remember that, but since his last name is Mancuso isn't that an Italian name?

Maybe he thought telling his parents she's Italian would make them too happy.
