How many times do I have to tell you, I'm a good guy....
Missy2 | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 05:57 am     Rod makes me nuts! Do you think everyone really thinks he is a good guy? I'm sure he is in real life but in the house this guy is so evil. The game is about truth (huh??)...and I'm such a softie? Gag. How is he a softie, because he's let people live in the house with him? Truth? Is he so honest?? If its about truth how can he align himself with kiki? During his one-sided screaming match with Josh yesterday, it was so upsetting to see everyone side Rod and gang up on Josh. The game is about good people and honesty? Well someone better open there eyes because Rod is Beelzebub incarnate! |
Jan | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 06:48 am     well I don't know that he is satan himself... or even evil per se... but I do know that he, very, very, very often, calls attention to what he perceives to be his good qualities. ..like saying he could have said more against josh but didn't. Often he says to KiKi that she doesn't give him credit for the good things he does. I can't think of specific incidents right now but I know that, after listening to him talk to others, I often think to myself "there he goes again saying did you notice how good I am" |
Blinky | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 06:51 am     Lol yeah I USED to have a husband use that line ...right up to the day I caught him cheating |
Missy2 | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:35 am     hahah. I think Rod is itching to tell Kiki how TRULY brilliant he is in his scheming but knows that he can't because it will be used against him. I would probably like Rod more if his ego wasn't so annoying? He revealed too much one time by telling Dani that when he plays Monopoly he wins thru playing a psychological game. When he said that, I thought ---wake up everyone listen to him...!! |
Oregonfire | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:41 am     When has he ever given Kiki credit for how good she is? All he does is tear her down. Why does he want special props? It's just getting to the point that the others have to stop listening to him period and subjecting themselves to his will. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I saw this guy comin' from a mile away. Experience, I guess. Why can't they? |
Spunky | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:55 am     I was right with my first impression of him, I kept saying he's the "smooth operator", and here are more proofs that he is indeed. I'm sure he staged that fight with Josh, but he also knows he can do it with this bunch of people, all it took for him was to have Lisa nearby and pataboom!!! Lisa and others (Jason too for that matter) should have kept their mouths shut, not giving Roddy any hints of what was brewing. With Chiara and Lisa (she's the one who told him how Josh approached with his scheming) and Josh who misunderstood Roddy's real intentions (that Roddy never cared for Josh), it was easy for Roddy to find out and so he confronted them with his usual arrogance. Unfortunately Marcellas spoiled the whole thing with his tirade against Josh. The only thing we could hope for is that he does not win HOH. The he'll be up again. |
Minnyace01 | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:57 am     Oregonfire - first off, nice to talk to you again. Roddy does compliment her when they have their pillow talk time almost every night. I'm not sure that I would call the other times, "tear her down," because she says quite a few things, without putting a lot of thought into what saying them could bring to her, or them, for that matter. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:03 am     I've said it elsewhere.. Roddy seduces people, gets power over them and then toys with their emotions. Very manipulative. |
Oregonfire | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:05 am     Hi Minnyace! Our opinions have quite diverged last we met. I'm afraid my vision of Chiara and Roddy as a sweet couple fell by the wayside weeks ago. I've seen way too many mindf*ck arguments between them at this point to not think that they have anything but a toxic relationship. |
Angelbleu | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:07 am     I don't think I would want to know Roddy on the outside....I think he is very much a control freak and I don't think he likes women at all... |
Spunky | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:12 am     Why do we all agree about Roddy and yet the hgs can't. I can only hope they're waiting for the next move to get rid of him, if it isn't too late already.. |
Krossd | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:18 am     Worth 1000 Words |
Spunky | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:39 am     This is after the fight? I hate him just for smoking stinking cigars...and no one there dares tell him that!!! If Spunky had been there now you'd have heard: "Get your stinky cigar out of my way..there's a corner in the yard where you should be smoking your cigar." I don't give a darn if he'll nominate me next!! |
Bernie | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:47 am     I feel totally ashamed of myself - well, maybe not totally - but when I saw that picture I wanted to punch him right in the solar plexus and make him choke on that Cuban stogie! Oooof! |
Goddess146 | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:49 am     Good people do not need to tell you they are good people. Case in point: Jason. |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:49 am     Yu an' me both, Bernie, except I was thinking worse. The moderated kind of worse. |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:51 am     Methinks Roddy is so completely enamored of himself that he really DOES think he's a "good guy." Methinks, too, that the man doth protest (er, brag?) too much. |
Minnyace01 | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:53 am     A couple of thoughts. First, Angelbleu, that's quite a statment about Roddy - I think he is very much a control freak and I don't think he likes women at all. I don't think that it is so much a control thing as a trust thing. He is very much into trusting and upholding your word. The second part of your statment about not liking women floors me. He has got along very well with all of the women in the house. He has a pretty strong relationship (?) with another, of who, I'm sure that you're not very fond of. Seems to me he does rather well with the women. And Spunky, you're not speaking for everyone in seeing Roddy as how you see him. I happen to think that he'd be a hell of a good time to shoot the BS with at a local saloon. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:54 am     The words "pompous blowhard control-freak" come to mind here. |
Shyguy | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:02 am     "Roddy's a good guy" Yeah, right, let me file that right next to Josh is a stable mature adult. |
Saggkl | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:12 am     I don't like Roddy, but you have to admit he is playing a good game. The others should wake up before its too late. Actually it probably is already too late. |
Wiseolowl | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:16 am     I agree with pretty well all of the sentiments (-ve ) about his personality but to phrase things negatively, or politically correctly, he seem's the least intellectually challenged person in the house. Same with Will last year - bright , very bright. It seems odd that in a game which on the surface requires more inter-personal skills and basic survival instincts than IQ scores that these people still seem to rise to the top. |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:18 am     In my opinion, Roddy is a pontificating, pompous, pedantic, power-hungry, poop! |
Wcv63 | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:44 am     Nice choice of words Costacat! Minnyace: I've said a number of times that Roddy holds a very low opinion of women. I wouldn't go so far as to say that he is a mysogynist (he could be but I don't know this) but speaking from what I KNOW and what I've actually heard him say in the house, he doesn't think women are very competent. He has made statements about how women are emotional and therefore could never hold an important job like president. He's said that women just don't have the intellectual capacity as he does. He does have a superiority complex and some of the things he has said, and some of the views he has espoused have led to my extreme dislike of him. Additionally, he has control issues. Serious control issues. He tries to manipulate and twist facts so that he comes out looking "right." I think he's one of those people that would rather be "right" than have peace. Plus he's got a passive agressive way of dealing with issues that makes me want to scream. IMHO |
Rain | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:44 am     Everybody knocked Will last year for being evil incarnate, yet I found him funny, witty, and I liked him because it was obvious the guy was playing the game to win. Although Roddy is no Will, not being as likeable or funny, he is still a great gamester. After all, these people aren't there to pass around warm fuzzies--they're there to win some very very big money. |
Costacat | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:49 am     Thanks Wcv! And I agree... I don't think Roddy holds women in high regard. I have heard him say things that made me cringe. And the way he treats Chiara (who lets him treat her that way) makes me cringe. I still can't figure out if he really likes her, if he's using her, or all of the above. Will *was* hysterical to watch last year, especially in his DR sessions. Roddy just doesn't amuse me... takes himself way too seriously. |
Missy2 | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:50 am     Will was deceptive, diabolical, cunning, witty, funny, and just delightful. He had this wonderful humor and zest for life! Ugh I just can't even compare Rod with Will. |
Wiseolowl | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:55 am     Will and Roddy are similar only in two respects that I can think of - intelligence and an amoral approach to the game -are those the winning ingredients with a little bit of luck thrown in? |

Wendo | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 10:12 am     The difference between Will and Roddy, for me, is how they interact with the HG's. Sure, Will was arrogant and at times condescending, but only in his DR entries. With the HG's, he always played self-depracating, the "loser" who pissed off too many people. Roddy, on the other hand, is arrogant and condescending to the HG's. He espouses how he's reliable, honest, and doesn't tell lies. In his DR entries, he's all sweet and nice, but to me it comes across as insincere. I just can't get behind Roddy at this point. I won't dispute he's playing a good game, he is. But, his manipulations of the HG's so far seem so, I don't know, destructive to those HG's because he toys with their emotions. Yeah, Will manipulated too, but he didn't toy with the people he supposedly cared about. I guess that's the difference to me. Roddy spent a lot of time telling Josh how he cared for him, thought he was a great kid, and, as we know, he turned on him; big time. I certainly hope that Josh has people who love him waiting for him when he comes out. Because, after he sees the shows, reads the boards (you know he will), he's going to be very upset. However, if Roddy does make it to the end, I don't think he'll have Josh's vote. |
Bbrules4ever | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 10:27 am     UGGH......I've also hear Roddy describe himself as a "stand-up guy"......"Why would you guys vote out a stand-up guy like me over Josh?" UGGH....the worse thing is the HG'S fall for this roddy BS..... |
Missy2 | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 12:07 pm     FIVE MAGIC WORDS THAT WE WON'T HEAR ON THE LIVE SHOW: I vote to evict Roddy. |
Spunky | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 12:19 pm     I noticed how he doesn't maintain "eye contact" to whomever he's speaking, almost as if he's afraid to be "read" right. The scene I remember most regarding this is when Eric had just left and he was alone with Lisa and the camera was on Roddy (and Lisa's back) and Roddy was shifting his eyes from Lisa to the floor, not wanting to be caught by Lisa while he was looking at her, or almost fearful of "being read" right..(as if Lisa would!!). Anyway, I can't stand people who don't look me in the eyes when they talk to me... (That's something in Roddy I really dislike). |
