Until Roddy is actually walking out the door I would never underestimate his game. However, his crown has already been taken. He will find this out on Thursday. No need to ruin his weekend LOL.. So who has his crown right now? Someone in the hrd probably threw it over the wall and Amy is keeping it for herself cause she's the real deal when it comes to royalty. :)

Honestly it is going to be interesting watching him manuever in this game from this point on. Lets just hope he doesn't go on a mission to expose "the bad people" it's such a useless gameplan that always results in a quick demise. I'm curious to see if he is willing to operate without the crown. It's obvious he is a control freak and when he finds out he is not in control of his own destiny or the game how will he respond? This next week is gonna be great, and what about that pesky little "twist" coming up? It sure better not benefit him!

I'll take that mod for ya, Earthmother. Couple of things, Verdana: First, I don't know about the rest of you, but if the worst thing I get called all week is an "Internet Freak" I'm in good shape - hell, I've been called worse in the past half hour. It's all about considering the source. Second: "arrogance" contemplates being full of unwarranted pride and self-importance. The word certainly describes Himself, but in Roddy's particular case sort of lacks the element of hubris and pretentiousness he brings to all conversation. I'm not sure if I'm more disgusted at his attempts to impress the congregation with his incredibly vacuous statements of supposed fact, or with the congregation's complete failure to call him on his happy load of horsesh*t. In short, he behaves like every weak-minded, somewhat educated but self-deluded ex-jock I've had the misfortune to encounter. He needs to leave immediately and take his little girlfriend with him.

The thing I enjoy the most about Roddy losing his crown is that he thinks he has another kingdom already set up. He believes he has Jason and Danielle on his side, so he figures when his couple kingdom is overthrown, he and his little queen will take over a new country. Little does he know that they realize he's coming and plan to stop him at the border. :)

I think Roddy's 'crown' came from the emperor's new clothes exhibit. He ain't all that, but then, he never was.

I cannot do it anymore! I try! Heaven knows I try! But, no, I just can't do it anymore! Roddy really DOES prove that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

He doesn't know half of what he says. It's half fact and half embellishment. He is inventing reality and these nimnos believe him. They don't know any better. Gerry goes so far as to say,
"Yeah, yeah..." and them embellishes on Roddy's embellishment.

Josh, *clearly* has no indication *clearly* if Roddy's right or wrong, because he doesn't give a flying f.

I just can't stand it. Chiara didn't know that 60 inches was five feet. (her words not mine)
It's like watching an accident. Someone get me a chair....

I don't understand why people hate someone for playing the game? For one thing, at least in Roddy's group of people he has made himself the leader, and not a follower that sits back and does what everyone in the prettypeoplegroup just assume will fall into their lap because they are who they are and it should be so obvious. I just saw him on tonight's show tell Gerri (paraphrased) that he is not so aligned to Chaira as to lose the game for her or at her expense. With that statement, he just went up in my book 500%, play the game that is what you are there for. Jason, who is coming across as wonderboy everywhere I go, and I agree he is a good guy, but, he has not had to be anything but the good boy as of yet. When he does make his move and he most certainly will, will it be ok for him to play the game because we all like Jason? I heard Chiara and Lisa on feed today talk about how it is just wrong, unfair and unthinkable for anyone to go after them, and all I could do was roll my eyes, as apparently they do not understand it is a game, but I there are times I get that feeling here too, like how dare they attitude, I spent last year singing this tune and I am going to start early this year....you don't have to like someone, but you have to respect them for playing the game IMHO

EXACTLY, Avery! Like you, I am watching to see who plays the game the best. I don't dislike any of them. There are some that I would NEVER associate with but they are all interesting "characters" to watch:)

the only thing i noticed about his crown is that it seems to lack hair but none of the house guests seem to want to point this out to him.

Avery, Jason HAS been playing the game. He's been playing since week 1 when he made his alliance with Dani. Being covert is probably his biggest strength to date. Plus he's such a likable guy that even when he plays the game overtly it'll be against people that already like him. So yeah, I'll still like him when he lies, manipulates and backstabs. After all, it's all a part of the game.

Goddessatlaw, that was probably the most articulate Roddy rant I've ever had the good fortune to read. The only thing I could possibly add to your statement are the words: sexist, self-aggrandizing, contemptuous, high-handed egotist.

Folks you know I'm about to join Roddy's corner even though I've disliked him this whole game just cause everyone seems so Anti-Rod just cause he uh wants to win 500 g's ..duh!!!!! He's playing the game and he's playing it well even if I don't agree with all his tactics - if he wins he will deserve it.

Bottom line - Josh took some risks by suggesting the 6 pack in the first place.. Roddy's done the 4 pack (Lisa/Eric/Rod/Chaira's) work for them.. none of the others have had to form any allainces or make any agreements except amongst themselves so that leaves them ALL free to ride Rod's coattails to the final 6 THEN blame Rod for backstabbing since he would be forced to vote with them against the people he made deals WITH to get the 4 of THEM to the finals. Thus they win in the end against Rod cause they didnt hvae to make any deals at all to ge tto the end.

Rod's playing this game to win - there is NOTHING wrong with that..he hasn't beyond my boundries of morality in his deal making and so on.. and if he wants to take Josh to the final two with him for 500 g's then he has that right... this is a show about making 500 g's NOT a show about making friends.

If this site keeps up with the 99% anti Rod seniment I think I might just become pro Rod all the way - cause it's driving me batty the way everyone disses on him for trying to win 500 g's that's ALOT of money! And he went in to win it - and he has a right within certain boundries to play this game his own way. NONE of the fourpack played "fair" with the rest of the house...so why should they demand that Rod hand them 500 g's cause it wouldnt be FAIR to them if he didn't.

I think it's great if Chaira figures out that Rod is looking after Rod and not her..(as he should be if he's really playing this game) and the same with Lisa. As to Eric..well - he backed Eric into a corner and forced him to stick with a deal that Eric didnt even know he made to never go against each other so - him stabbing Eric in back is beyond my moral boundries in a case like that even for 500 g's.

Anyhow - Put yourself in Rod's shoes - 500 g's is alot of $$...ya know? Would you play "more" moral then he has - etc...?

AMEN Whit!!!

I am starting to feel like this is a different version of the game and I am the big outsider, the only one that respects Roddy, like I am in the house and Gerry is my only friend, lol

Whit I don't dislike Roddy for his gameplaying. In some instances he's made some absolutely brilliant moves.

It's his discussions, social interactions, in which he really lets his opinion of women show that has me disgusted with him. Listen to him as he goes on about things women "just can't do" or how "no woman he's ever met is his intellectual equal."

I can't respect anyone who thinks an entire gender is beneath him.

I don't consider it a good strategy to monopolize the conversations, talk above the others, privately brag about dilusional power, and mirror the personality of the one you are speaking too. All of these game moves make you an obvious target! Since you are the self proclaimed know it all, pontificating intellectual of the house, you might as well have a neon sign over your head that reads.."I'm The One To Beat" Cause it's a sure bet you are gonna be beat!

The smarter game plan is to let the blowhards standout and let them assume you are in awe of them. Then when the time is just right....You pounce on them!! Now thats how you play this game!

Do I dislike Roddy? Lets put it this way... On a private level I don't know the man. However, from what I've seen I'd pass up a friendship with this know it all.

I think we need to start a thread of our favorite BB3 neanderthal moments. So many paleolithic underpinnings, so few brains to go around . . .

I'll support Roddy to the end. He represents a lot of things that don't get much representation and I appreciate that. It's a game and I don't think it's a game you can breeze through all smiles and sunshine unless you're going to try to ride someone else's coattails.

I agree Roddy is playing well -- I still hope he loses though. Arrogance needs to be tempered with some humor at least (thinking Will here). I just don't like Roddy. How's that for deep reasoning?

Earthmother - that was an eloquent discussion of what Eric and Lisa and Chiara have done. You really nailed it. It was good reading.

They simply have not played the game at all, while others like Jason, Marcellas, Danielle and Gerry (and of course Josh and Roddy) were busy strategizing.

I don't fault Roddy for playing the game - however, most of his game has been just taking advantage of the numbers (the alliance the first week w/6 & 4). He's also been so openly "king of the hill" about it.

Dani and Jason on the other hand have really made the strategic moves. There alliance has been covert from the beginning (heck, we didn't even know how deep it went). Of course, they both couldn't continue to play the same role (that'd be a sure give away). So, Dani has been the more aggressive. Their alliance and strategy has been brilliant.

Lisa quite playing the game week 1. Got to comfortable just sitting back playing house. She and Chi talked strategy (the girls), but they never followed through - just kept following whatever the guys wanted. Totally oblivious to anything. Now that the numbers are dwindling down - it's like, What? We might be evicted? Why is eveyone so mean?

LOL to bad Josh aint a smart man...

Eric and Rod were stragizing against Josh - (hoping to get Josh put up in place of Lisa or Eric) and when Josh walked in Rod said - "We were just taking about the kid - the three week thing and if we can vote him out next week etc..." anyhow so later Josh asked Eric specifically what they were talking about - regarding Jason and Eric had no answer at all..not even a jist of what they had been talking about etc. Any smart person would have recognized this as catching someone in a lie..but Josh just aint that bright..sigh..oh well...lol
