This may be ancient history by now but I just can't figure it out. First, he's vulnerable being nominated. Secondly, Josh has proven over and over again to be Roddy's biggest supporter. Doesn't he remember the previous vote? Why doesn't he want Josh there with him at the end? Remember, I'm asking for a logical reason - maybe it's simply an emotional decision.

He didn't.
It was all Chiara's own idea. He was pretty upset when he first heard about it. But I think he has decided to play it cool which seems working now, compare with Josh's behavior since that moment they found out, many of them started having second thoughts of who they need to oust more.

Chia told in DR that she needs to nom Rod along so others don't think she and Rod has an alliance(Ha!). Some on this board think maybe she really would like to see Rodfather out as a pay back to all the bad ways he treated her. By now, it started to look to me like she does truely want to kick Josh out. She honestly believes that the Rodfather is so well liked and well-respected by all HGs that they can't this can't possibally back fire.

Although a lot was said about this, what I remember mostly and which seems closest to the truth is that Chiara used Roddy as a shield to avoid making unnecessary enemies when it is almost assured Josh's eviction. So why put up someone else who could be evicted instead of Josh, (like Gerry for example).

My "funny" interpretation is that Chiara thought that Roddy could be the sacrificial lamb, or like Abraham sacrificing his son to show his faith in God, so Chiara showed her faith in the hsg, believing them they will not betray her and vote for Josh. Well, God did save Jacob...and the hgs will spare Roddy.

Well, looks like the Bible in the house was a source of inspiration for Chiara....eh, eh....

Other threads for you to read is the one On Roddy staying in the house and, why Lisa cannot use the POV.

Hope this helps.

In actuality, if it works, Josh will never feel betrayed by Roddy. Afterall, Roddy didn't nominate him, he can't lobby Roddy to use a POV or to vote his way. Roddy comes out (if he stays and it's looking like he will because the hgs need to visit the wizard for some courage) looking and smelling like a rose to Josh. He has effectively secured Josh's endvote.

Roddy did the same thing with Amy and Lori prior to their eviction.

Jimmer, I think R decided to take G to the finals instead of Josh because the're both disliked and because he was afraid Josh would do at the end what he's doing now - spilling the beans about things Roddy has said and done in the game. That's why he made them all agree not to talk about the game this week. LOL!

If your interested in my theory about R and this nom see my post #76 in Is Roddy Out on Thursday? thread. Let me know what you think :-)
