I always wonder if someone has given Roddy a book, "1001 useless short Factoids to astound and amaze your friends with"
I have seen such books and when he is spouting his gems of knowledge, I imagine him memorizing the trivia.

For the first time I had a really good laugh on tonight's show!

Chiara kept saying, "you tell me to do one thing and I'll do the exact opposite". Couldn't Roddy take this clue?? (oops, she told that to us in the DR).

But the look on Roddy's face was precious!!
Anyway, I don't think they're feeling the impact as much as last year hgs because the POV gives them some sort of hopes that things change. And now with the "expect the unexpected" they all fell like things can change overnight and so they have time to think about it and relax.
We saw Josh packing at the end but by now he's already hopeful he'll stay.

You see, no one knows till it happens...

i like the way they showed some of the things we've been talking about for weeks -- roddy's 'knowlege' and chiara's language. i can't remember what else, but i think it's cool when they finally show some of what we've been watching. know what i mean?

Snee: Haven't you figured it out yet? ASP has teams of people reading these boards 24/7. Why do you think they screw up the cameras on the feeds so often ... they are busy reading this!!! :)

The best editing yet. I finally got to watch the show and I fully enjoyed it even though I had already read everything that was going to happen in this thread.

draheid, i KNOW they do! they just haven't let much of the 'net viewing be in sync with the show...except for that pbikini horror. why, oh why did they have to show that?! (and yes, i do know why! hehe) remember the snap snap episode? arnie & co. knew about that almost immediately after we figured it out, which was almost immediately. the interns are earning their money!!!

i thought the editing was great too.

Snee: It's funny. I've been watching a lot more of the show feeds and reading the boards ... I can't begin to count the 'coincidental' DR calls when certain things are going on ... suddenly things change within minutes of the activities and oppinions being posted on the boards ... ALMOST like we are actually having an effect on the show itself. I mean, this is certainly better than BANNERS, IMO.

I have to agree with what others have written, tonight's show has been the best show to date. The editing is getting better and better, the footage they're using, everything. Good job Arnie! Keep up the great work.

Two things that stuck out for me on tonight's show though. Wonder what you all thought?

One, the time when Roddy was in the DR after Eric's eviction. He said that Eric was, by far, the closest guy friend in the house. Now, what caused me pause about that was I would think Josh would likely disagree with this. Roddy really has given Josh the impression that the two of them are close, but, Josh is delusioned, Roddy doesn't really hold the same regard for Josh.

The other thing that gave me pause was when Roddy said to Chiara, "I would never put you up." Hmm, ok. But, you didn't have a problem suggesting to Gerry that, if Chiara has to go up, well, so be it.

I've definitely decided that the way Roddy is playing this game is by having everyone do his dirty work for him; manipulating. He just does it with a smile and an "I love ya kid". It's an interesting strategy, good for him. I just wonder if it's really good enough in the end when those ten evicted HG on the jury vote for who wins the $$$.

Thanks Cricket! I say good for him too. He has a spine and he is using it! :)
I believe that Gerry has not let all those comments by any of the HG's go. They better be careful with their "deals" with him.

i think gerry might just come back and bite them on their cute little a$$e$...so to speak! hehe

Jason saying Chiara is one of the "guys" in the DR but tells her "wait to do that when I'm gone", I can see he hates it or is a bit too prudish... should have laughed it off...
Anyway, I can see editing was entertaining tonight.
And the move by Chiara to nominate Roddy, when he obviously did not like it, was outstanding tv!!!

Honestly, I don't think it is prudish for Jason to want Chiara to tone down her advances. He has nowhere to go to really get away from her. I do agree with Chiara about double standards that is what she is doing to Jason which is sexual harrassment. I know she thinks she is being like one of the guys, but Jason is not that kind of guy! Why should he want her all in his face like that? Why is that prudish? Not only does he have to plan and be on his game in the house he has to endure her immature behavior. Perhaps Jason probably have more respect for Chiara than she has for herself. :)

I thought Jason's comment about "Wait to do that when I'm gone" was because she was saying something to Roddy when it was just the three of them in the room. But I wasn't paying close attention, so I might be wrong (?).

Jason does usually laugh off most of Chiara's sexual comments. There's just certain points where he tells her that's enough. Of course, often she ignores him and keeps going. :)

How exactly does one go from a "girly-girl" to "one of the guys"?

Wcv63

Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 12:45 am EditMoveDeleteIP
She's actually a "girly guy". Sounds like a Hans and Franz term. I'm gonna "PUMP YOU UP"!!

If you listen to her talk about double standards, being one of the guys, breaking down barriers between men and women, girl power etc, it sounds as if she has some serious male related issues.

I thought Jas told her to wait till he was gone while she was sprawling her legs all up in the air "trying to see what she looked like in different sex positions."

If the genders were reversed, what Chiara was doing to Jason would seriously be approaching harrassment. Someone else in the house should ask Miss potty mouth to consider toning it down in front of Jason.

My favorite moment of the show was the look on Chiara's face when Dani told her she did the right thing by changing her mind (implying that Dani believed that Chiara had not voted to evict Lisa). Chiara did this frozen face smile thing that was just priceless.

I sure wish I could have watched the show last night because reading all this good stuff from you guys is making me very jealous. Thanks goodness this board was going and I could keep up. Even after the Saints game was over, I turned on the set at 11:30 to watch like WWLTV.com said it would be aired, and there was no BB3 on there.......BUMMERS!!!

Chiara bemoans the double standard, and rightly so. But it seems to me she is protesting the wrong things. So what if she can single-handedly tear down the barrier that says it is okay for man to be a potty-mouth but not a woman. What is accomplished, really, by being able to talk locker room stuff without raising eyebrows. If she is interested in gender equality she should be working toward equal pay or at least equal opportunities.

I agree, Realtvfan! Dressing up her behaviour as "overcoming those double standards" just doesn't work for me. First off, as you said, if the men in my workplace behaved like Chiara, especially targeting it to an individual who's made it very clear (and in a very reasonable manner) that they don't welcome it - they'd be dealing with (at the very least) a definite message from the group. It's not prudish, just being respectful that everyone has their limits. Second, reducing the "double standard" to that level belittles the real barriers that both women and men have worked hard to overcome.

"I thought you said all of your friends at home are hot! What happened to these three?"

I dunno - I respect Chiara for being as strong as she is - I loved her speech about 'there are some girls out there who love the way that I am and others that are probably appalled. That's just the way that life works.'I wish that I could be that I could be that ok with all my traits! (now if she is sexually harassing Jason, that's something else - I don't get the feeds, so I have not witnessed that. It seems more like he's offended by her crude behavior, which is different from feeling like someone is trying to get something from you).

And I loved her putting up Roddy against Josh - WHO WOULD HAVE PREDICTED THAT?? In my mind, it's very smart strategy to protect herself from the other HGs who would be looking to bust up any alliances not in their favour (like Gerry with Lisa and Eric).

I couldn't get over Roddy's spouting of completely irrelevant trivia! I think that I am going to call him 'Nerdy Roddy' from now on....It's one thing to want to have intelligent conversations - I am all for that, but to jump in with these factoids from outer space is not a sign of z good conversationalist.
