It just dawned on me who Roddy reminds me of. A Kennedy. He's got that pompous, I'm smarter than everyone, entitled attitude.

Hey, let's be fair, lots of the Kennedys have dedicated themselves to public service and have worked very hard. (RFK Sr. & Jr., JFK, Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Sen. Edward Kennedy, JFK Jr., Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, etc. in many worthwhile charitable and historic endeavors.) Lots of them have been involved in all kinds of charities, like Special Olympics (founded by Eunice Kennedy Shriver), that heat for the poor program in Boston, the Profiles In Courage awards, etc. Many of them were brought up with a real work and service to the people ethic in addition to their privileges. And a sense of history and duty. Maybe (hopefully) you refer to one of those more distant Kennedy hangers-on, like that creepy Michael Skakel?

LOL Katrina....

Or maybe that Will Smith guy. Not THAT Will Smith (Fresh Prince), the OTHER Will Smith (on trial for rape..acquitted. Many said because of his Kennedy connections.)

After meeting two of Bobby's Boys and one of the other boys, I stand by what I said (public service or no)

i dislike roddy too. the superiority and the attitude toward the women bugs me.

another reason to dislike roddy? disliking josh all the time takes up too much energy!

Yeah, I know what you mean about Smith. He was acquitted, but he didn't make a real good impression on me during the Court TV broadcast of his trial. (Reality TV before "reality TV"!)

I'm sure the Kennedys aren't all perfect. Maybe I am a little sensitive. One of my husband's friends was one of the individuals who wrestled Sirhan Sirhan to the ground and pocketed the gun that was used to assassinate RFK, Sr. He is an incredibly good and honorable human being, and I believe he would have an enormous amount of good and credible things to say about many of the Kennedys. I'm sure they're not all saints, but as a family, they have given and sacrificed for our country in a uniquely compelling way. RFK, Sr., especially. After his brother's assassination and Dr. King's murder, and given his own political positions on civil rights, it was clear that he was putting his life on the line in that campaign. I would find it hard to fault his fatherless children publicly for anything less than criminal behavior, much as I would feel about the children of our war heroes or of the terrorism victims.

No holds barred on Roddy though! The guy is beyond irritating strictly of his own accord!

I like the way Roddy keeps refering to getting out of the house and reviewing the live feeds to prove that he has been honest and sincere. I can't wait until Chiara finds out how honestly and sincerly he thinks of her when he's talking to Eric.

What also bugs me about Roddy is he uses a lot of words to say nothing.

ah, fix2scream, R has said little to nothing to E that he would need to worry about. It was E that said some things about L and their relationship, and E interest in A, where there could be problems. Not so with R.

Roddy is hypocritical and self righteous. "Without being gossipy..." then he continues with gossipy and mean things. He blames Amy for not getting to know her yet his cowardice of Chiara is what made him run scared in the first place. He pretends like he is sincere and so big on keeping his word... which he is until he justifies in his own mind breaking his word.

There is something about Roddy's attitudes about women that bothers me. He is not as bad as Hardy but still, I would not want to be involved him.

Delilah will not participate in a Roddy bashing thread, she just likes to read what others are saying about him.....

Goddess I'm feeling ya. Roddy seems to me to think all women are inferior to him and incompetent in general. I get the "no woman is my equal" vibe from him and it makes my teeth hurt (from grinding them no doubt.)

Roddy doesn't think ANYONE is equal to him! He's just more vocal about the woman. Anyone who has to go around talking about how intelligent they are..usually isn't all that. He's a bore.

Re:"What also bugs me about Roddy is he uses a lot of words to say nothing." Excellent observation Fix. He is a wordy guy, in love with the sound of his own voice.<---(me not trying to be wordy).<---dang! just was!

MarcellasFan, why do I get the feeling that I have met you under another SN?
I don't think that Roddy is like a Kennedy at ALL..the Kennedys are pretty good at feigning humility!LOL!
FYI-I have always admired the Kennedy family because they're willing to give back to the community in spite of their wealth and who can
argue or put down Special Olympics!
Will was more like the Kennedys than Roddy,as a rule the Kennedys have the credentials-and while you may get thru college on your name and money the ones who got thru Law School and Medical School had to go thru the same tests as everyone else.Also, Will and the Kennedys have that Family loyalty that I admire.
Which of the Bobby's Boys did you meet? Some seem more troubled than others.

I think Roddy is very mean, especially after listening to his speech directed at Amy during the noms ceremony on tonight's episode! Also I would like someone to please explain to my why the other hg's can sit enraptured at Roddy's feet listening to him drone on an on and on, but they are merciless in their attacks on Gerry for doing the same thing?

Roddy only has this "power and control" and look of intelligence because the rest of the trash he hangs with isn't smart enough to figure it out.
I can't believe they are that stupid to be led to slaughter by such a shallow loser in life. It's obvious he hasn't reached any level of achievement in his life, had to find the 5 or 6 gutter-gang to become superior. I didn't like him from day one, and think less of him. Thank god Danielle can see through him, I just wish she and Mar had enough support to tip the tables. I don't like to see anyone treated like Roddy treats people, even if it is just a show/game.

What I don't understand is what made him save Gerry???

I don't know if anyone else posted about this yet but, I dislike what Roddy said in the HOH last night to Chiara and Danielle. He told Danielle that she was "hot" and that if she didn't have a husband, he would be all over her in the house, in fact, he would tell Chiara to leave the HOH so that he could be hittin on Danny alone in the HOH. Chiara and Danielle sort of looked stunned and laughed it off, but all I could think of is ...... what a J*RK!!

(btw I noticed that the LF post at the time sort of glossed over the whole conversation cuz there was a lot going on and being said at the time)

oh guys, you take what R says too seriously. He has a dry sense of humour and he was joking! plus C did not sit there looking stunned, she laughed and so did Danielle, then C gave R gears for it. They were all just joking around, lets not make mountains out of mole hills.

And does Eric not realize that Roddy is leading him along like a little puppy dog...?! Yeah, they are chumy, but dang Eric, think for yourself sometimes!

If you're looking for a real misogynist here look at Josh who is desperate to ally with 'the boys' and get all the gals booted in a 'us them' way, as he's said ad nauseum. His comments that he has Amy under his control made me laugh! I like Roddy for nominating the 2 he did, he's probably onto Marc's attraction and that can't be very comfy for a hetero male on tv.. Amy fits what Roddy said about her, she came into this show a little too annoying & conceited, so I can't fault him there. I can only wonder at how come I seem to dislike Roddy for not putting Josh on the block instead of Marcellas, who worships him? I think this will haunt him as he said it will and I hope it does. I don't like him as much as last week when I thought he was sort of smart!
