Jazzcat | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 12:28 am     marcellus said josh taking the 'low road' but it seems to me that the rodster did that today with the fight. IMO it as staged and strategy and got everyone into the gang mentality. josh is who he is, but, it reminded me of kids in the playground ganging up on one. i just hope someone realizes it by voting time. i won't hold my breath |
Shyguy | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 12:46 am     Didn't the Clique say they wanted Roddy to believe that he was staying, making his eviction a shock. I'm hoping that's the plan. |
Moedog | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 12:48 am     From LFPs: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 - 11:24 pm R. goes on about his Uncle's piano playing. G: That's like living your life. Tells them about making martinis at the top of the Empire State Building. Story with glasses, shaker, watches sunset with his best friend at the top of the building. R: "That's the only reason I'm here. I don't even consider about winning the money." L agrees. R: Joshie is going. G: Josh told him he is kissing away half a million. R: if the money is his only motivation, no wonder he is on the way out (PP) L: thinks Josh was only here to get the money. G: BB set it up so it would not happen that way. L: Good! R: all who are still here are already still winners. The money is only a small part of it. ----------------- <sarcasm> Yeah, Roddy, I believe every word you say. </sarcasm> |
Whit4you | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 12:55 am     If these HG's don't vote Roddy out this week, I will be rooting for Roddy the rest of the game - cause if they keep him over Josh this week then they don't deserve to win - they are to brain dead to know what to do with 500 g's. |
Jazzcat | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 01:01 am     shyguy, that is what i'm hoping too. i don't get a chance to watch lf's very often and catch up on lfp's at night at work (shhhh!!) today there was soooo much to catch up on. roddy is the biggest a##hole! moedog, i read that on the lfp's and just shook my little head! he just has to go!!! |
Moedog | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 01:18 am     Why won't they let US have a phone-in vote just this once? <grin> Whit & Jazzcat, I agree wholeheartedly! |
Marksman | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 04:14 am     It is a major mistake to keep Roddy. In the end Josh is really no threat at all. He is simply too unstable to win the game. Roddy is a threat to win the game. If he does not go this week, he is probably in for a run at the money. Seems being nominated often buys people a grace period as people have new places to re-focus their attention in the following weeks. This will give Roddy much needed room to negotiate and put himself in position for the end-game. It is simply getting to close to the end not to get rid of Roddy now when given the chance. While I think Dani and Jason have been playing the game well, if they don't force a Roddy eviction now, then they don't deserve to win. Of course everything can change tomorrow. |
Marameko | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 05:29 am     The stupidity of some of the HG's as it relates to not voting out Roddy is getting on my nerves. If he wins no more BB for me, I can find something else to do with my time........ |
Msnapsnap | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 06:48 am     Wake up you houseguests...Roddy is *hitting all over you and you fell for his bull**it. Awk!!!! |
Nutsy | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:10 am     I'm not sure that it's so stupid to keep Roddy in this week. After Josh goes, who's left in the house that truly supports Roddy? Chiara? Danielle, Lisa, Marcellas, Gerry and Jason all realize what a threat Roddy is. His days are limited after this week anyway - the odds are stacked against him, no matter which evicted houseguest returns. Getting rid of Josh now is the smartest move - he's the troublemaker in the group, stirring up the pot and has coasted through the game as far as he can. Keeping Roddy may be the smartest move they make. |
Tweepee | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:32 am     Nutsy, I disagree. Josh is so hated that he could never win if he made it into the final two. That's why you keep him around. Roddy's ability to play the game is admirable, and everyone knows it. That's why it's dangerous to go up against him at the end and he should be eliminated now. Getting rid of Josh now is only smart in terms of soothing everyone's nerves--but not in terms of winning the game. |
Nutsy | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:44 am     There are weeks and weeks left to get rid of Roddy. That's my point. Why keep Josh now when all it does is aggravate the entire household? Playing the game only thinking about getting to get the the final two is one strategy, playing the game week to week, with an end goal in mind is another. |
Oregonfire | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 07:51 am     Nusty, I agree with you. I do not believe in the Rodallmighty (thanks Draheid). It's also a case of either/or reasoning here: if Roddy doesn't get evicted now, some argue, he'll go all the way to the finals and win the whole thing. Not necessarily. I think especially Dani will work to make sure that it doesn't happen. That said, others like Jason and Marcie need to wake up and stop drinking Roddy's special kool aid. Did they come to play or get brainwashed? |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:20 am     Roddy needs to go NOW. This is their first opportunity and I don't think there are many left.. after all Roddy and Chiara have set up Operation Revolving Door before even knowing who will be coming back to the house.. so Roddy is safe for the first week (if the new HG is eligible for eviction the first week.. not the case in other countries where the "intruders" were not eligible for eviction but also couldn't vote the first week back) and then several are so hung up on hating Gerry that Roddy is probably safe for another week. And he could snag HOH another time. I'm just saying that there is more likelihood of Josh being nominated later than that Roddy would be... Roddy really should go now. |
Nutsy | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:57 am     Seamonkey ... even if ORD sends the evicted/reinstated HG packing next Thurs, and the Thurs after that Gerry goes, don't you think Roddy's up then? I'd rather have three or four more weeks of Roddy than a minute longer of Josh. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:03 am     Nutsy, one could hope, but they will all be targets.. I just think he needs to go NOW. Dani, Marc and Lisa know this deep down but greatly fear that they cannot guarantee the ousting. It isn't a chance I'd want to take. I still think that worrying about who to spend 4 weeks with isn't the key issue.. or, rather, it is key.. I'd want to win the money.. this is boot camp not summer camp.. roddy'sgottagonow... my mantra. |
Bigd | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:04 am     "How stupid can the be if they keep Roddy around?" Hey, I know, let's ask Will! |
Nutsy | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:19 am     I think deciding who you want around you while you're strategizing is a huge part of the game. It affects you mentally and you definitely need your wits about you to win this thing. Do you want to be distracted by Josh's whining and paranoia, or could you better think straight tuning out Roddy's verbal diarrhea? |
Oregonfire | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:27 am     Again, I agree Nutsy! |
Keiffer | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:36 am     What are Roddy's lies? |
Jagger | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:36 am     For game strategy I think I would rather have Josh around, but I would not want to go up against him in the final, he could very easily pull a Will. My thinking is the other hgs, even though they can't stand him, would give him credit for still being there in the end. I know I would vote for the person who played the best game, not who I liked or disliked. I think if Roddy doesn't go next week he has a real good chance of winning it all. |
Keiffer | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:39 am     Jagger I would add to not wnating to go up up against Josh in the final with I would not want to go up against him on a regular week eviction. No matter who he is up against the other person will be percieved as the stronger threat, and could go. Every week it will be things like said on this thread were you can get Josh out anytime because he is so unliked, get the stronger player out while you ahve the chance. For sure I wouldn't want to be up against that. |
Nutsy | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:40 am     Thanks Oregonfire, your cheque's in the mail. Or do you want a check? giggle |
Spramp | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 09:54 am     BigD - Hilarious!! Yes - I keep hoping (Praying) that they come to their senses and get Roddy out now when they have the chance. I keep thinking maybe, maybe they are being quiet about it and will vote him out in a huge surprise move at the end....I'm getting tired of holding my breath! |
Nutsy | Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 10:02 am     BigD - I don't get the Roddy / Will comparison? |
