You're right Zachsmom, I don't know him on the outside. I'm going by his treatment of Chiara and Amy and my rawness from my family's experience. But, within the house he is a misogynist who manipulates Chiara, worked to humiliate Amy and wants all the women to lose. If it quacks like a duck.....

Earthmother: clean hands got nothin' to do with it if you've got the stank frito toes thing going, especially around the Pope who knows from stank frito toes and washing feet.

Goddessatlaw..What if your hands look like feet and smell like cheese?

Earthmother: That raises a whole new avenue of issues requiring a fresh mixing of metaphors, because what you're suggesting would be a franken-hybrid of Amy and Eric (wasn't Lisa carrying on about Eric's toes looking like his fingers? It's amazing how much useless sh*t I have stuffed in my brain). And what's that got to do w/ Gerry? PS Roddy's condescending.

Lighten up Buzz. Roddy only does what the women let him get away with. Chiara forgot this was a game and is now in a situation she needs to end. Blaming Roddy for Chiara being manipulated is very weak.

I am sorry Buzz..but I have not seen any behavior from Roddy that shows "hate" towards any woman in that house..perhaps he hasn't respected the women in the but there is a differance between "hate" and "lack of respect"..

This is a game of manipulation,lying and backstabbing..you get to know the players and find out the best wasy to use the former ways in order to be the last person standing..Roddy uses Chiara "feelings" for him to manipulate her to ensure that he is the last one standing..in the context of the game I see nothing wrong with that..Chiara uses Jason "crush" on her to try and "manipulate" him..she uses Jasons "crush" to try and keep Roddy in line..does that mean that Chiara "hates" men? I think not..

To label these houseguest as "misogynist" or "abusers" are pretty stong words..that's all I am saying..

I will also add that the labeling of Roddy in this manner without any proof whatsoever is something the moderators need to watch much closer. People have had their posts deleted from this board for less than that.

Goddessatlaw: aha gottcha..you missed some usless information. Last night the hgs were accusing Gerry of eating all the cheese.

Therefore proof:
Is Roddy condescending? Does a bear sh*t in the woods?

Earthmother: your logic fails because they never said Gerry's cheese-encrusted hands looked like his feet. Now if Gerry had limburger under his toenails (and I'm not saying he doesn't, you just lack proof thereof), I would concede the point. However, on this we can agree: Roddy, the bear and the Pope have a lot in common.

I think everybody as a right to a opinion whether you agree with it or not..nobody has any right to say so and so are wrong cuz they are etc. etc. My opinion is that Roddy is extremely condescending and manipulative..and needs to go

Wood, I can see your point, but for those of us who have experience with men who act like Rod all the time, well, I'm sure we have little patience with his behaviour and have no compunction against announcing that if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it must be a duck.

Now, if he is merely a lamb in duck's clothing, well, he's a bigger loser for choosing such a strategy.

If there is one thing that high pressure situations do to people it is to force them to make fast, elemental decisions, which evidences their deepest tendencies. On the outside, I bet Rod is far better able to cover of his controlling urges, but in that house, under all the watchful eyes and ears, he is really having trouble masking his true character.

I could point out this tendency in every houseguest, but I really ought to spend more time working today!!

I am just loving watching Roddy right now telling Lisa how great life is going to if she is evicted tonight and everyone who is going to want to hear her comments. He is so convinced she is going. I am so looking forward to seeing his face and not because it is Roddy. I would love to see any HGs face who is so sure of the outcome of a vote and they are totally wrong. I remember Tonya's face and the look of absolute shock, almost like the scene in Zoolander when he goes up to get his award.

I hate to be rude about this...but what is the big secret story that R almost told Jo early this morning. He keeps refering to it today...only thing I find is from 5:07 a.m.post:

R says I've been really clean with a lot of things in my life, never been with a hooker, done drugs, etc. Just go and beat off guys, what's the big deal? I can't believe guys do that

So what does that mean...is he secretly gay???
Ref: the "beat off guys" as quoted...or was that an error in posting??? I don't have LF so only going by what I read adn thought was odd then, and even more ODD now!!?????

Yes I think you're right Crossfire....
To me, it read more like "Just go and beat off, guys"
rather than "(I) just go and beat off guys".

It's hard to hear punctuation but I believe Roddy was saying "Just go and beat off, guys, what's the big deal?"

Thanks thanks....I am glad you punctuated the quote..now it makes more sense. Early this morning I read and re-read the post....and then gave up understanding it.

I still wonder what Ro is talking about today..what story he almost told Jo that he would not want to get out>>> any ideas???

Roddy told a story about how he contantly "defines" words for whoever he is talking to. i.e. Once he was talking to his father about a stockbroker, proceded to define what a stockbroker is, and infuriated his father because he happens to be one.

This conversation took place because he was called on "defining" words he uses in conversation.

This attitude that the people you are talking to aren't smart enough to either know the "big words" or figure out the meaning by context is not only condescending but arrogant.

Just a very small part of his overall personality but one that illustrates his arrogance. IMO

Have you seen the section in the back of the Atlantic Monthly where readers make up words to describe some thing or action that is thus far wordless? So what would someone who compulsively defines rather simple words for others be called? How about a dicktionary? Or a transbaiter? You get the picture.

dicktionary .... heeeheeeeheeeee

We could just call it a Roddyism, the way spoonerisms got named after someone named Spooner (an Oxford professor, I think?)

Like gerrymandering too. Making up other words is fun though. Submissions are welcome. :)

Hmmm...looks like a good place to ask ... what's the definition of irregardless ??

Waiting and hoping I don't get blasted cuz it's a very commonly misused word (if it even exists!!)

In my opinion Roddy has his head so far up his own butt he can chew food again on it's way down

Draheid: "irregardless" is a substandard or humorous redundancy for "regardless." Webster's def. Why the question?
