ok, adding my , i haven't really spoken too much about roddy, but last nite was an eye opener for me. he is playing the game and i've got to give him his props for that. but i just didn't like the way the he reacted to amy/marc when they were in the hammock and marc respectfully said that he needed to leave. and roddy basically was like, how dare they treat me this way. i can't wait to see how roddy reacts when he is nominated because i bet we will again see another side of him. and yes i like to root for the underdogs. and so far my absolute fave is marc, dani and jason come in 2nd.

Watching Roddy fall off his high horse is going to be well worth wait the wait.

Four things I hated seeing on the tv show:

Roddy getting that manicure (and pedicure??) from Marcellas

Roddy telling Marcellas "You know how much I care about you, right??" and poor Marcellas believing it all...

Roddy's anger (in the kitchen) while trying to explain to the others Amy's behaviour towards him..

Roddy's arm around Amy and kissing her on her head while walking away. It told me, "I got you anyways).

This guy knows the art of manipulation best.

I didn't like Roddy in the scene where he got upset about Marcellas asking him to go away. It seemed to me that Roddy approached Marc and Amy in the hammock to try to make himself feel better about the situation. He wanted to hear them say "it's okay, we understand, it's a game, no hard feelings." But they weren't okay about it, so Marc politely asked him to leave them alone.

Having been rebuffed in his attempt to soothe his own conscience, Roddy then went back into the kitchen and immediately started venting to the other HGs about how nasty Marc and Amy had been to him. And about Amy in particular -- who hadn't said anything, she'd just giggled when Marc asked him to leave, which I didn't necessarily take as rude.

I found it all kind of tacky and self-serving on Roddy's part. If he truly cared about their pain (as opposed to his own and his position in the game), he would have handled this much differently.

He's not supposed to care about their pain. He is supposed to get rid of who threathens him if given the chance and also make that person like him so he gets the vote later. Granted he had already apologized so personally I think if he couldn't remember they may have felt it wasn't very sincere the first time.

CostaCat-- I have to agree on the pseudo-intellectualism. He used the word "misnomer" incorrectly a few nights ago in place of the much more common (and correct) "misconception". It may seem silly but it just annoyed me.

The scene with Roddy, Marcellus, Amy and the hammock was silly. Roddy trying to say it's not personal when it is. And your're right Groucho he then went and 'acted' as he has previously accused Amy of acting. And she did nothing but laugh and Marcellus was nothing but polite. I actually kind of like Roddy but his cockiness is some what disgusting.

I can't stand Roddy! I want him gone!!! I can't wait to see the look on his face when he's nominated..<Who me, no way.I'm the most popular here>yuck!

I am soooooooo sick of this <> I would help the man pack if they could get him out of there! He just said to the house that General Patton ran against Jesse Owens in the Olympics. He is so full of it. Mel Patton broke a Jesse owen record in the 40's at one point but this is not THE General Patton he is referring too. Why the hell does he just throw B.S. Out there like that? No one really gives a damn! The dude likes to hear his own voice.

Just curious - how can you mess with someone's head but leave their heart out of it? Lying, scheming and manipulating are all about messing with people's emotions.

The man just never shuts up! It's all just hot air! He throws in some bogus thought or stat to see if they will agree with him about anything. I think he is very insulting with this approach. Has he ever thought that they might be playing to his ego and leading him to believe they are idiots when in fact they have his number? What a stupid gameplan this man has! To me he is like that never seen teacher in Charlie Brown where all you here is.. wah,wah,wah,wahhh...

C1mag doesn't this bring back memories of a certain other storyteller?

Wink you are right!!! Good ol Doctor Will did the same thing all the time for entertainment. He thought they were all idiots and that they would buy anything he said. I guess Roddy gets bored and needs the Entertainment. However, I don't think they are all buying what he says and they are playing to his ego. Last year I think the other houseguests could be played a bit more easily.

I go back and forth with Roddy. Sometimes, he seems like a nice enough guy and sometimes, he comes off like a weird Scientology/Tony Robbins nightmare.

LOL Jhezzie! "...weird Scientology/Tony Robbins nightmare"! Too true! (And thanks for that visual! <grin>)

The Evil Doctor Will used to throw stuff out all the time. But I don't recall him saying stuff that was incorrect (a la the General Patton statement). Will would play people's emotions -- and dang, was he ever good at that!

I think Mr. Roddy is way too full of himself, and needs to be taken down a peg or two. I am surely hoping (with everything crossed that can be crossed and will still allow me to type) that Marcellas wins HOH (or Amy, if for some reason she's still around). And the new HOH nominates the self-proclaimed King of the House immediately.

On last night's show: What about the veto challenge where the object was to hit the persons ball who you would LEAST LIKE TO GET VETO into the pool. roddy cheated in my opinion, by pushing Chiara's ball back into the area away from the pool. I am surprised BB didn't disqualify him for not following the rules of the game. And since this moved was apparently legal, why didn't Amy push Marcellas ball back away from the pool area. We know that Marcellas was Amy's last chance (except for Josh, maybe) to be vetoed. I think roddy played unfairly by making that move with Chiaras ball and I totally think he is using her. I don't think he feels the same way for her as she does for him. She is going to get her heart broken.

Will co-opted sitcom and other televison show storylines and changed them so that HE was the main character. Sometimes it was obvious and other times it took a bit a digging to find out why something had a familiar ring to it.

Roddy is different. He knows a very little bit about a variety of subjects and sometimes he gets the subjects confused. Confusing a political figures with an athlete is just one example. He also will say things with conviction to make it seem absolute. He really is the Cliff Claven of this game.

Wcv You are right! Cliff Claven would be a real good example. I loved the show where one man decided he was going to kick his ass. LOL

Someone has got to knock roddy down a level or two. Put him in his place....

Do you remember Will's adherence to Tao of Steve during the course of the game? That was amusing to watch.

1) Eliminate desire; you can not score if you want to score.
2) Do something excellent in her presence.
3) Retreat; women will chase what they cannot have.

Perhaps Roddy is trying out his version in the game?

Vancouvergirl... I absolutely agree with you. He cheated !! If everyone had done that they would have been there all day knocking balls away from the pool instead of into the pool. I also agree that Roddy doesn't share the same type of feelings for Chiara as she does for him.

Wcv63 sounds like Roddy's game plan to a T !!!

Wait a minute..if the rules didn't say you couldn't then he didn't cheat. I will repeat this just so I don't get bashed or go off topic, but I want him and his woman gone. Why would any of the others want to show their hand by sparing someone else and giving away your secret? There is not question about Roddy and Chiara's connection. There is no way Marc or Amy would have used it if they got it so their chances were better with anyone else. Who else has a known connection but Lisa and Eric and Eric was already there.

I think what it is about Roddy that I don't like is he has no sense of humour. He is always so serious. He is bringing the whole house down. He needs to go.

Roddy made a gramamatical error last night. He told Marcellus that he "felt badly" about nominating him. If he "felt badly", he had something wrong with his hands. I think he actually "felt bad" about it. For some reason that misuse always bothers me. Now if only I could spell.

I read on another update site (it appears that the TVCH updaters missed this) that Roddy kind of made some digs at Eric and Lisa to Gerry last night. Like he called the other HGs "clowns", and said that Eric does whatever he tells him to do. He also apparently said that he wished the rest of the HGs had been as stupid as Amy, because then they could've just written him a check. Did anyone see this?

Just when I think I couldn't dislike Roddy more...ugh. I swear there's *no one* in the house that he hasn't insulted behind their backs. It seems like he tries to hide his feelings since they might come back to bite him in the butt in the final vote, but every once in awhile he slips up. I honestly don't see him being friends with *any* of the HGs once the show's over.

I'm looking forward to the day Roddy gets the boot. :)

Yes, Muse, he said all that and more. He really thinks he knows how to play each individual. He went in there to try and work his magic on Gerry-so what does he do? he stops midsentence and just starts complimenting him on his knowledge of English history and drags him into a convo about this topic, knowing it is so dear to Gerry. It didn't work, IMO. I truly think he is transparent and I hope Gerry thinks so too.BTW, he also asked Gerry if Josh was safe if POV was used and Gerry said yes, with no hesitation. Roddy didn't say anymore.
