Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 06:06 pm     That manicuring scene on CBS's show tonight, with Marcellus, was disgusting. Either Roddy is gay, or he is one of those manipulative people that we can do without. I don't know about you, but I can see right through his person. |
Peachie | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 06:14 pm     He tells them all what he thinks they want/need to hear, he is good, I will give him that but I dont like people like that really and I do know a few of them unfortunately. |
Jan | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 06:15 pm     I agree. He is soooooo manipulative and Boooooooring. Every time he starts on another monologue about something I just want to scream. And the way he manipulates KiKi to get her to oust the women when she has stated from the start that she wants the women to win!. it was easy to get her to do Amy last week but now he has started getting her to turn against Dani. He has a talent and she just can't see through him. He has to go but I don't see how it can happen. If he gets nommed his minions will veto him out |
Earthmother | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 06:18 pm     Hey Maggieprice (hollering) YA THINK!! |
Earthmother | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 06:23 pm     oops hit the wrong vowel...Meggie lol.... |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 06:32 pm     I think when he goes down (and he will) it will be a complete humiliationfest - a torrent of tears, recriminations and a symphony of f-words. Not a matter of if, just when. I know this, because the God I pray to hates the likes of Roddy and wants him out, too. |
Woodpecke® | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 06:33 pm     I have noticed a familiar refrain while reading these boards for the last three years. When a player appears to have gained an advantage(in this thread it is Roddy), people start posting like crazy saying that the person has to be stopped. Why? He seems to have found a way to be liked and at the same time get them to do his bidding. He can bore the heck out of people, make women swoon with his looks, control the house without even having the HOH, and all the people look at him as the number one threat but are still helpless to do anything to stop him. He is doing what he came to do. Take a shot at winning the big money and use whatever he can to get the job done. He doesn't make Kiki, Eric, Josh, Gerry, Lisa, Marcellus, and the rest do what he wants them to do without careful planning and well placed phrases. Give the guy his due. He has played a great game so far. Also, don't feel sorry for Chiara. She is playing her own game and is quite effective as well. |
Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 06:41 pm     I actually like Roddy. He is intelligent, perceptive and a fine person. However, he is also immature, egotist and full of himself. The negative side is winning right now. We all have our weaknesses, it's hard to watch though, because what he is doing is embarrassing. He might be playing the game well (what do I know), but anybody who is really smart wouldn't have gone on this show to begin with. |
Lilacs04 | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 06:45 pm     Woodpecker- We root for the underdog here. Just human nature. ;) |
Woodpecke® | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 06:51 pm     If you were a person that wanted $500,000, needed the public exposure that three shows a week on a major network could bring you, and have a huge ego that needed to be stroked, Then Big Brother is the place for you. Very smart. I have said this many times and I will say it once more .....these people will mean nothing to each other by the end of October, it's all about winning. |
Ocean_Islands | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 07:21 pm     It's a pretty dumb thing to do if you want to maintain any integrity. Danielle, Jason, and Roddy included. |
Orwellsvision | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 07:26 pm     Roddy seems like he would be a nice enough guy to know OUTSIDE the house. However, IN the house -- I wouldn't believe ONE WORD that comes out of his beautiful mouth!!  |
Ketchuplover | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 07:31 pm     I wouldn't believe any of them |
Hippyt | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 07:41 pm     I don't like Roddy,wouldn't in or out of the house! He's a bit too much, too everything. |
Firstsnadra1 | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 07:44 pm     I agree with Woodpecker that Roddy is a great player. I think people like to root for the underdogs, though. I know I do. As soon as the alliances started forming, I started cheering for the people on the fringe. Just a common reaction amongst a lot of people I think. And I do also think Roddy is full of himself. But then again, most of the other players are, too! |
Keiffer | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 07:48 pm     Great comments Woodpecker. He has gotten his way to this point by making arguments to people that get them thinking the same way he does. Call it manipulation if you like, but that is the nature of the game... getting people to think like you do on votes, and nomminations. Another thing I love is that he is the number one person in the house at talking about things other than sex... somethign a huge number of board posters seem to want to heppen. In fact he may (probably will) get nomminated this week because he talks intilectually, and because too many people know he is the best at manipulating the arguments, and discussions. But any person who wants less sex talk should be the biggest Roddy fan ever. |
Meggieprice | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 07:57 pm     I like Roddy, but as many have mentioned here-as soon as some players started looking so strong I started rooting for those that didn't look so strong, having no desire to watch the 4 or 6 or whatever pick everyone off one by one. That said, for those of us that feel that way, yes, obviously, Roddy Needs to Go Now! Eartmother-lol! |
Wink | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 07:59 pm     >>>>>But any person who wants less sex talk should be the biggest Roddy fan ever.<<<<< Yup Keiffer that's why he's my pick. |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 08:05 pm     Personally, I dislike (those who appear to be) insincere, self-impressed blowhards more than I dislike (those who appear to be) pathetically insecure, potty-mouthed, love-struck girls. So I'll stick with my first pick, the original underdog - Marcellas. (self-moderated post). |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 08:05 pm     ahhhhhhh Wink.. you beat me to it.. he's mine too.. |
Keiffer | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 08:10 pm     In actuallity if you want to root for an underdog you should root for one of the couples. They are outnumbered 5-4 as of tomorrow, have only 3 people in the running for HoH, and one of those is doped out on meds for the bite (or whatever it is). Seems to me like pretty slim odds there to me. This week your perception of who has power may be off because Roddy having HoH... believe me when he is up next week it will become clear who the true underdogs are. |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 08:12 pm     Keiffer - I wish that were going to be the case, but the game, the game . . . guess that's why we watch, eh? |
Maryk | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 08:12 pm     I guess I'm biased cause I like him. But it would be nice if fringe and boring people go out first and the more interesting and strategic people stay behind. JMHO. |
Earthmother | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 08:14 pm     No one should be believing any of them...Once again lying, smoozing, playing each other is all part of the game. I always laugh when the reason someone doesn't like a player is; they lied, they played that poor girl, how could he do that when he was supposed to be her/his boyfriend/girlfriend/friend(OMG This is not Club Med, it is a gameshow). I also have to shake my head when I hear "I hate this guy/girl they don't deserve to win because they didn't play the game, they just stayed under the radar". If they manage to get to the end it does not matter what strategy they used obviously it worked. You do not have to be the big strong verbal alpha to play this game well, ever hear of less is more? Actually sitting back and observing could help you in competitions later. Roddy has not as far as I have seen, stepped over the line with any of the other hgs. He has played with dignity by not performing character assinations on the others, so therefore I think he is playing a good game. Do I want him gone..ohhhhh yes! and he can take his girlfriend with him. Because bottom line is that we want our favorites to win the whole enchilada. |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 08:16 pm     LOL, Earthmother. Second the notion. And I've gotta go get some rest. You guys don't stay up so late tonight - wears me out reading all the posts in the morning. And it is all about me, you understand. |
