Marcellasfan | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 12:50 pm     He's a misogynist. And Smarmy to boot. I think it is just a matter of time before he becomes the "disliked" one. |
Maris | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 12:52 pm     he has a nasty sense of humor and can be very cruel. And he isn't all that either. |
Ryanc2002 | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 12:52 pm     Where do you get the idea that he hates women? |
Delilah | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 12:52 pm     I completely disagree. Can you name one HG who dislikes Roddy? He is going all the way baby. He is the most intelligent one and he knows how to work people "nicely." He is playing this game like a pro. |
Marcellasfan | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 12:56 pm     Roddy is getting away with things because he's sly with his comments, but people are going to start adding them up. |
Cameltoes | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 12:57 pm     His working of people is becoming too obvious. That stuff with Jason was borderline amateurish. Meanwhile Amy, Marcellas and Danielle are onto his game. I'm sure Jason is too. Adding a reason to dislike him: Willingly spends time with Chiara |
Ryanc2002 | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 12:58 pm     What has Roddy gotten away with by being sly? |
Delilah | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 12:59 pm     Can you NAME one HG who dislikes Roddy? |
Classycassfan | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:02 pm     ok I know I am confused (shush) but why does Roddy keep saying things about his wife while his profile lists him as single???? |
Maris | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:03 pm     The problem with the HGs and why a lot of them fail is they become over confident and make mistakes. They show their hand too quickly and actually start believing their own press. You have Danielle and Roddy, easily people that were considered the shrewdest and smartest and both of them slipped up yesterday. Once you slip up and show your true personality its hard to put the genie back in the bottle. I think Roddy overplayed his hand with Amy last night in the hammock and I believe he said what he did as a test to see how much she needed his approval. Then this morning again he was giving her another fatherly lecture, I dont think it went over well at all. I dont think Marcellas appreciates his jokes but he is smart he bides his time. Jason, you never know what he is thinking but I am pretty sure he sees through him. Roddy actually has a bit of Gerry in him, he has a superior attitude that comes out once in a while. It is just coming out a lot more frequently now. |
Hardywins | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:05 pm     Roddy the Writer believes that he is a superior subtle manipulator of his victims minds. His tactic is to compliment overwhelmingly and then after trust is inculcated he gradually seeks to manipulate that trust into his own will. He would be much more successful if he could control the envioronment in the house better. Unfortunately for him; others in the house interrupt his tedious, tiresome, and longwinded manipulations; like Josh interupted Roddys attempt to brainwash Jason last night. Roddy is just as big a manipulator as Josh, only not as crass. |
Ryanc2002 | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:05 pm     Classy - The wife thing is an inside joke. |
Tisha90029 | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:10 pm     Roddy is the ruler of malaprops--like Hardy was last year. Drives me bananas |
Ryanc2002 | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:15 pm     What is your proof that Dannielle, Amy, Marcellus, or anyone else is "on to" Roddy? and "They're not dumb enough to fall for his game." won't convince me. |
Minnyace01 | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:18 pm     Ryan - on this one, we both agree! |
Ryanc2002 | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:20 pm     Minnyace - Had to happen sometime, didn't it? |
Curlyq | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:21 pm     Just a few minutes of one of his soap-box conversations makes me switch feeds. If all that hot air is getting on my nerves after just a couple of days, it's got to be bugging at least one of those ten people. He's just one of those know-it-all, "I'm so enlightened" guys that can really grate on one's nerves after a while. He needs to try to lay low a little more and listen rather than soliloquize. He and Gerry have that in common. |
Ryanc2002 | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:23 pm     So...just because you find him annoying someone in the house MUST find him annoying? Sorry, not buying it. I think he's got them all eating out of the palm of his hand. |
Cameltoes | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:24 pm     Ryan - Conversations between Amy, Marcellas and Danielle are why I believe they are onto him. |
Maris | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:25 pm     Amy certainly is on to him, no question there. Danielle is since she has said more than once that he is a master at the game. Marcellas has said the same thing. In fact they said it last night and the night before. |
Ryanc2002 | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:25 pm     Cameltoes - Enlighten me...I may have missed somethung. |
Cameltoes | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:30 pm     Danielle and Marcellas discussing how smart he is and how hard he is playing the game and how much of a threat he is. Amy and Marcellas having a similar discussion. Amy admitting that she let her guard down and now sees how Roddy played it. Marcellas cautioning her about how smart Roddy is. In their dishing of houseguests, they were referring to Chiara as the devil's concubine. |
Ryanc2002 | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:32 pm     Yeah, but just because they know he's smart and know he plays well doesn't mean they know HOW he's playing them. Until they figure that out he's safe. |
Curlyq | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:33 pm     Ryan this thread was titled "Reasons to DISLIKE Roddy." I wasn't talking to you. Since you're still looking for specific examples though I would point to the remark made by Marcellas to Gerry this morning. He said even though it looks like Amy is hanging out with Roddy and Danielle is saying she's not in an alliance, they are (with Marcellas). They're just playing Roddy and the "popular people". He made another remark about Roddy that was more to the point, but since I can't remember it and it doesn't seem to have been posted to you I can't use it as an example. It's just knowledge that I have that Marc is onto Roddy. He's onto everybody I think. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to. It's okay, really. Another example: the uncomfortable tension between Amy and Roddy this morning. Apparently she told Josh that Roddy likes to try to change people. They smoothed things over, but I'm sure Amy isn't "eating out of the palm of his hand" anymore. |
Maris | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 01:34 pm     I think we can assume that if Danie and Marcellas believe he is their biggest threat and he plays the game well, it follows that he is playing them. They are not the type that would think Roddy isnt playing them but is playing everyone else. They are onto him and as Marcellas said he wants to keep him a little while longer. |
