Hardywins | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 06:50 pm     His speech about why he nominated Amy was embarassingly glitch filled. If anyone can trascribe his speech, please post it here. It was gibberish to me: |
Battlestar | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 06:53 pm     --that's cause Chiara was hanging on to his balls when he was doing the speech |
Curlyq | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 06:55 pm     While someone else transcribes, I can tell you the basic gist was that Amy doesn't put others ahead of herself (like any of them do?). That was such a bogus reason. You could practically see the Chiara-inflicted whip marks on his back. |
Nathalia | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 06:58 pm     The only reason Roddy put up Amy was to prove to Chiara were his loyalty was. It was a payback for Amy voting out Tonya...since they all think it was her vote that put her out of the house. |
Goddessatlaw | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:01 pm     LOL, all of you. I just want him escorted out of the house in handcuffs - but that would probably be the realization of one of Chiara's sex fantasies the way things are going now. |
Classycassfan | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:10 pm     'that's cause Chiara was hanging on to his balls when he was doing the speech D@am that is twice tonight I have had to clean Chocolate Milk off the monitor... I gotta get off the chocolate milk or quit reading these theads |
Draheid | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:12 pm     Roddy's nomination speech: "I have nominated Amy and Marcellas. To tell you why, I'd like to say to Amy, it's very important to care about other people and to stick up for 'em when their not around and to care about 'em when their right in front of you. You put yourself, sometimes, ahead of other people. It's something that...it's going to be difficult to entrust you with all my feelings and all the things that I need in this game. And everyone here needs. So, as I said, the small things show a lot. But then you slip right into 'I'm a little bit more important than other people here.' A small deviation from being great in this house shines. And, you know, that's why I nominated you." "Marcellas, I've put you up simply because I know that you're a vote for Amy. It's nothing..personal. I think you're a magnificent person and I look forward to ss..keeping in touch with you for years. I'm doing it purely out of strategy reason because I know that you'll support her and that you two are close. And I'm just doing it because I know that, I think it's Amy's time to go and by you being on the block makes sure that that's going to happen." "Alright? I think that's it." And he takes the nomination box off the table... |
Bohawkins | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:13 pm     Isn't Roddy supposed to be a writer? Is he a published writer? What is his last name? We could do a search for some of his work, unless he writes with a nom de plume. He lacks eloquence in speech, but some good writers are poor public speakers. I would like to see examples of his work. Is there an existing thread which discussed Roddy's body of work? |
Hardywins | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:16 pm     "it's going to be difficult to entrust you with all my feelings and all the things that I need in this game" In plain words, its all about Roddy |
Piratesbay | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:16 pm     Like I've been saying, Roddy is a published writer, just like Dr. Evil was a practicing doctor, yeah, right. And just like Joshy was a teacher, and Tonya was a stay at home mom. uh huh, yeah...like that |
Ryanc2002 | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:17 pm     Will IS a doctor Pirate. |
Battlestar | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:18 pm     ----sorry about that classycass. |
Draheid | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:19 pm     Ryan, he said practicing doctor, as in he's probably never actually treated a patient in real life... |
Piratesbay | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:19 pm     I know he's a doctor Ryan, but not a practicing physician. He hasn't done medicine since his residency two years ago. He may have a D.O., but that doesn't make him a practicing physician. |
Draheid | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:20 pm     Wow, Pirate we almost posted in STEREO! LOL |
Piratesbay | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:21 pm     Draheid, this pirate, matey, is a SHE. arrrggghhh |
Jhezzie | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:21 pm     Yup. Roddy told her she was selfish because he won't be able to tell her what to do. LOL! |
Draheid | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:22 pm     awrighty then, me lass, shiver me timbers and call me crazy ... I di'nt know cap'n ... Please don't run me up the mast! |
Curlyq | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:23 pm     "A small deviation from being great in this house shines." WHAT???? That was gibberish. Why is it that all 3 nomination ceremonies have ended with the HOH admitting they only want 1 person out and the other was put up just to ensure they get what they want? Granted Marcellas was lying when he said that, but the house still believed him. If it were me in that house I would deeply resent having the HOH, who already holds the power of nomination, abusing that power in order to dictate my vote. It should be enough that they get to nominate. At least last year's crew knew to nip that in the bud. Nominating someone against a "pawn" is certainly an example of Roddy (and the other HOHs) putting himself ahead of everyone else. Maybe that's why it keeps backfiring. |
Csnog | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:25 pm     When Roddy couldn't have it the way he wanted, which was to have BOTH Chiara and Amy he had to back peddle and "HUSTLE" his "but" back to Chiara or his game plan was out the window. Better to stick with the one he could control than to have a little fun on the side with Amy who he knew he could never control. The most he could fault Amy for in that speech was that she filled her glass of wine. |
Hardywins | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:25 pm     That was gibberish. Thats what I said when I started this thread! |
Bohawkins | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:26 pm     Draheid: In Roddy's speech, he would look more intelligent if you will substitute "they're" for the places you inappropriately inserted "their." It is a small thing, but when someone's speech is being held up for ridicule, we need to present what he said in the most accurate light possible, especially when you have gone to the trouble to use contractions such as "'em" for "them," and "I'm" for "I am." Just click on the edit button to make those changes. |
Draheid | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:34 pm     Corrected Roddy's nomination speech: (per Bohawkins suggestions) "I have nominated Amy and Marcellas. To tell you why, I'd like to say to Amy, it's very important to care about other people and to stick up for 'em when they're not around and to care about 'em when they're right in front of you. You put yourself, sometimes, ahead of other people. It's something that...it's going to be difficult to entrust you with all my feelings and all the things that I need in this game. And everyone here needs. So, as I said, the small things show a lot. But then you slip right into 'I'm a little bit more important than other people here.' A small deviation from being great in this house shines. And, you know, that's why I nominated you." "Marcellas, I've put you up simply because I know that you're a vote for Amy. It's nothing..personal. I think you're a magnificent person and I look forward to ss..keeping in touch with you for years. I'm doing it purely out of strategy reason because I know that you'll support her and that you two are close. And I'm just doing it because I know that, I think it's Amy's time to go and by you being on the block makes sure that that's going to happen." "Alright? I think that's it." And he takes the nomination box off the table... |
Seamonkey | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:35 pm     I have to admit I often chuckle on the board when someone is being critical and then misspells badly, but Roddy was speaking gibberish in any language. What I love is how critical Roddy and others were that Josh was trying to talk to those who voted for him to go, yet Roddy has let them know he plans to hunt down anyone who votes for Amy to stay. What an overbearing jerk. |
Snee | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 07:44 pm     "A small deviation from being great in this house shines." yep, gibberish...yet i'm sure some of the hg's thought it was The Most Profound Thing They Have Heard In Their Lives! josh will have another epiphany. chiara will think it's sexy. lisa and eric will think they've aligned themselves with the smartest person in the house..*sigh* |
