Roddy just called Chiara in to talk to her. He brought her in to the HRD and basically scolded her into telling him what's the matter...blah, blah, blah.

I've really tried hard to keep an open mind about Roddy. I've read comments by others who like him. However, when he speaks to people (esp. Chiara) he just sounds so condescending and smarmy. He talks down, calling people out saying it's rude to talk to people and not look at him.

Really, I'm quite frustrated with this man. He seems so self important and egotistical. Is there anything redeeming about him???

And, off topic, suggesting to Chi that she vote to evict Lisa really hurts Chi's endgame as well. If Chi makes it to the final two and she's up against, say Jason, I think Lisa would vote for Ja b/4 Chi. I just wish Chi would grow some balls and stand up to this guy.

Frustrating!

(poster note: The opinions above represent my feelings about Roddy with in the parameters of the game. I do not know Roddy outside of the house and these opinions have nothing to do with Roddy in "real life.")

I find him incredibly condescending, especially around Kiki. I can sort of understand it (Chiara just doesn't seem like an independent thinker, especially when she's around him), but it's still irritating. I find him to be pretty arrogant and insincere when he's talking with any of the HGs, really. I'm surprised that more HGs don't pick up on it. Maybe they do and they just don't say anything. I don't know.

Personally I tend to avoid conversations between Roddy and other people (one-on-one conversations, at least) on the live feeds since it annoys me. Well, unless they're really juicy. :)

I would have a hard time NOT being condecending to Kiki, I'm convinced her emotional age is around 13.

The deffinition of condescending DEFINITELY applys to Roddy. How much longer will they allow it?

"they"? who is the they you're referring to here? BB or the HG's?

Ryan I'm sure BB loves his attitude as it causes emotional encounters with Chiara. When I mentioned "They" I was referring to the houseguests. Chiara is not the only one he is condescending too. Sometimes his facial expressions are just as condescending and pretty soon he's gonna do it to the wrong person and my prediction is that he will whimp out real fast when confronted.

Ya gotta wonder if anyone notices it, I mean Danielle seems like the only one who is "on to him."

"Is Roddy Just Condescending?

No, he is not "just" condescending....he is also pompous.

I think everyone in the house holds himself/herself in too high regard to notice condescending remarks. BB players are all about ego.

I think Roddy just needs a hair cut. He's not looking too much like Hotty Roddy this week. Someone here said that he looks like Lyle Lovett with that stacked hairdo.

I agree with Ryan. I don't find Roddy condescending at all. I think Chiara likes to try and "show him up" by trying to go toe-to-toe with him on an intellectual level and it just frustrates him that she, not only fails to do so, but tries to get the upper hand by condescending him in a passive-aggressive manner.

His fuse is obviously getting shorter. It's understandable.

Haven't you guys noticed he never speaks to anyone else the way he deals with her?

Roddy works on putting females in "their" place.

He works on them one at a time and sometimes behind their back.

Now that he thinks Lisa is going he is starting to work on Dani behind her back.

Roddy wants someone else to rid him of Chiara. He thought Gerry was going to put her up this week but had to settle on Lisa when Gerry nominated her instead of Chiara.
Chiara is distracting him from playing the game.

Roddy does NOT like women.

Don't forget Riddy's early comments about controlling Chiara. For some people, this is a real lifestyle, they live it and are very content with it.

I have a friend who is the submissive in such an arrangement. After that comment was made, he started watching Roddy/Chiara very closely. He sees a lot of parallels between Roddy's actions and the man who controls him. He thinks Roddy is expertly taking control of her, she wants it and Roddy may likely have set himself up very nicely in this regard once they are out of the house.

Yes what I noticed that too. I don't know anyone in that lifestyle but I have read that the submissive is often controlled through humiliation..ie being put down and made to apologize etc.

Roddy appears to have what it takes.

I should mention, just like Roddy said he would do with Chiarra, my friend does have a pager that only the other guy has the number to. And yes, he does jump when it goes off and does what he is told. Apparently, this is very standard in such a relationship. Wonder how Roddy knew?
