He just told Gerry that all he wants to do is teach. This guy is incredible and Gerry is just eating it up even trying to shoot some hoops with the man. Does Josh look so foolish right now just sucking up to this guy while the others are present? Roddys gameplan has backfired. The two dudes he thought he could control are now controling the game. LOL

Josh is really smart. People were laughing at him spilling his heart out (game plans) to Roddy last night but it was all to gain Roddy's trust and bond with him in the context of the game.

I love it, this had to happen, it is much too boring when it gets to just picking of one side or the other.

I think with one of the 4pack gone, it evens out the playing field. We will have Eric or Lisa and Roddy and Chiara against Marcellas, Jason, and Danielle with Josh and Gerry as wild cards.

I think the game is going to get real interesting now. Josh is playing everyone and they all know it. and Gerry just laid his cards on the table. I think he knew he was up this week if he didn't get hoh, and he said he knows he is up next week no matter what he did.

The fun is just starting.

Do you really think Josh is playing Roddy? I don't not for a second. He loves Roddy like he is his puppy dog. If he has ever talked against Roddy I have missed it. I am hoping that will be his downfall.

Girls just talking, Lisa was one of the nominated. She said she is not worried about it. Dan-Don't worry about it, your staying, trust me!

Love the thread title - sounds like either the name of a punk band or an Elton John song.

I don't think he loves Roddy, I think he is scared of Roddy's power and sucks up to him big time. I think Josh is going to hop on what ever side of the fence he thinks he is safest for him. I think he knows he is not really in the 4 pack.

Well you might be right Llkoolaid(nice name btw) I just don't see it. Not that I want Josh to succeed. I want him to be so shocked when Lisa doesn't leave this week. Of course the nominations have just happened and at this point I don't even know who the second nom is but I have to assume it is Eric. I hope they are able to keep it hidden until he has to leave so there is a shock.

That would be great if they could keep it a secret that Eric is going..but Dani told KiKi (well she let KiKi and Lisa know that , no matter what, Lisa is safe) so you know that KiKi will tell Roddy. She always does. And he will go to work big time!

I haven't been able to solidify an opinion on what Joshie wants more desperately: to win the game or to be considered one of the cool kids. I think he keeps trying to marry the notions as if he can have it all, and he just can't. They'll use him to get further, but he'll be first on the chopping block when it comes to n/cutting time. I think he realizes this but hasn't reconciled it with his self-image. Anyway, at some point he's going to have to settle down and make a firm choice (if they let him stay in the house long enough). It will be interesting to see which side of Josh wins out.

Right she(chiapet)so does not get that he is her greatest enemy to winning the game. But I hope that Danielle knows that she is running to him with all info and so she doesn't reveal to much of her hand.

yes Flores. If only KiKI knew how matter-of-fact the 2 guys are about either of the 2 girls being kicked out. Oh Well Ho Hum seems to be their reaction.What was Eric said ..of yeah..I'll get laid after the house anyway. Would KiKi be P#$%%ed off about that!

Didn't Josh tell Gerry to put his key in first because it was going to be a sign to Merrit or something? Now he tells Roddy or Eric that he told him to put his key in first or not at all. Did I miss something or is this another Joshie lie?

I agree Goddess, Josh wants to be a part of the "cool crowd" so badly! Watching him with Roddy reminds me of the Warner Brother's cartoon of the little nippy dog hopping around the Bulldog wanting to be his friend..."It's you and me,huh, Roddy? Isn't it? Yeah, just you and me pals, right, Roddy?". He seems to be totally cluesless to the fact that he could be the swing vote that could keep him safe for weeks. If he does realize it and is just playing Roddy, he's very good. I just can't make myself believe he's that good.

I sort of wish that Gerry would call Josh on his substitute teacher lie and start grilling him (in a smart way) about the job. Like, do you get along with the students, which schools do you get called to most frequently, etc.

I mean, come on! If Gerry's a teacher from LA, and Josh is from LA, it follows that Gerry should be able to spot the inconsistencies in Josh's tale. While I doubt that Gerry is really fooled by Josh, it would be nice if he could let Josh make a fool of himself by fibbing himself into a corner.

Absolutely, Gouraphik. I've thought the same thing myself a dozen times. Why doesn't Gerry see through Josh's lies about his being a long-term substitute? I'm not sure Josh could continue to pull off his bluff under intense scrutiny. I wish Gerry would quiz Josh!

I'm guessing that Josh has a friend or relative that is a long term substitute teacher. In the beginning when he first announced that big lie, he said he was an "LTS". I had no idea what that was....but apparently Josh knew that abbreviation as a buzz word to hook anyone else that might understand it. Right away, Gerry knew what an "LTS" was and from that point on, Gerry has had no reason to disbelieve him. I'll bet that if they've had any other convos about teaching, Josh knows just enough about the field to remain convincing. I don't think Gerry would have any reason to question that.

Oh yeah...there are others in the house a lot more perceptive than Gerry (Dani, Roddy) and it has never occurred to them that Josh's whole story is huge lie either...

The only thing I can figure out is that they haven't taken the time to talk about his personal life (except Mewwit.)

Josh is now confirming with Gerry that the deal they have of course covers not being put up if someone vetos. Gerry said oh of course it has to. I hope Gerry is lying to him bigtime. I would love to see Josh taken out this week. If that can't happen I will be satisfied with the look on Eric's face but I hate Josh.

Cinder, or, Josh has made sure not to disclose too much info? Possible...
