Jane_Bond | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:38 am     Rod is a "nice" Italian boy - he isn't a Domme! He is a hockey knob who thinks he's a writer! His behaviour is abusive, controlling, demeaning, disrespectful and humiliating and is very much in keeping with the behaviour of men who come from cultures in which machismo is important. Where are the conversations in which Chi and Rod outline what is expected from each in their roles as sub and Domme? Where are the safe words? Where is the mutual respect and admiration? Real Dommes treat their subs like pets. Roddy treats Chi like dog sh!t. He is a power hungry loser who is beneath contempt. Oh, did I mention that I didn't like him much? |
What555456 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:40 am     Actually, Domme is the female counterpart of Dom. <g> |
Goddessatlaw | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:43 am     Ummmmmm . . . why do you guys know this? |
Goddessatlaw | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:44 am     I'm very afraid of you right now. |
Jane_Bond | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:49 am     Eek! Alright, everybody just forget I wrote that. Ha ha!

Earthmother | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:54 am     Is Roddy condescending? Does a bear sh*t in the woods? |
Goddessatlaw | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:56 am     Is the Pope Catholic? And if the Pope sh*t in the woods, and a bird in the hand were there, would Gerry hear any of it? |
Jaysgal | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 07:57 am     I don't really think that Roddy is condescending overall. I think that's just a surface look. However, I do think that he is controlling. His aim is to control. One can control without expressing condescending behaviour. If Roddy was in such a situation where it would be best suiting to blend into the group he wants to control, he will. Perhaps he sees the condescending behaviour as the best way to control most females. But for females that believe in girl-power, I think Roddy would play it in a different way. Perhaps he would offer a lot of the sex thing and buying gifts, saying lines that melts them, etc. until they are completely mesmerised, hence vulnerable. What I can affirm is that Roddy has no respect for women. |
Foodbunny | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:00 am     If I was in this house I'd have no respect for women either. And I am one. Whoever casted/recruited these women should be drug out into the street and shot. |
Costacat | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:03 am     And tarred and feathered, eh, Foodbun? |
Cynny | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:05 am     I agree with you Jane. In a real Dom/sub relationship it's usually based on mutual respect. The submissive partner trusts the dom partner enough, through earned trust and respect, to know that they wouldn't do anything to really physically or emotionally harm them. And a real "dominant" would never think of really harming them or asking anything of them that would be emotionally damaging. For a lot of people I've met, (lawyers, teachers, moms and dads, bus drivers, etc. etc) it's just for fun, roleplay, bedtime games. For others, it carries over into their "real life" activities as well. There is a line (and it's not a fine line, in my opinion) between a dominant partner and an abusive partner and Roddy crosses that line every day. |
Foodbunny | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:06 am     Yeah. It just sucks. The casting on the Mole is so much better because they get actually intelligent women who can play the game and lie and manipulate and look great doing it. On BB we get like 1 major schemer and a bunch of eyecandy that got recruited because they might have a catfight. |
Bmh | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:10 am     Ya..I agree the Mole 2 had many intelligent women...BB really doesn't Danielle is probably the only one..but I do believe that Lisa has real true potential to play the game..after Eric leaves today..she could become a great strategist like Dani..without Eric around to bother her.. |
Foodbunny | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:15 am     If Lisa turns out to be a great player it's going to be completely by accident. She didn't apply, she was recruited because she yelled at a guy in a bar. She was recruited just to be a catfighter. |
Earthmother | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:17 am     Goddessatlaw only if there were 2 birds in the bush and 1 in his hand would Gerry be able to hear it!!! Was that the answer to the riddle? Do I win!!! If I don't win can I say mean things about you? lol |
Bmh | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:20 am     Foodbunny..you act like after seeing her fight with a guy they just threw her on the show..that is not the case..she then auditioned like everyone else..and took tests..and they must have figured she has something up her sleeve..because for some reason I find Lisa very mysterious and sly and I so see her playing this game..not to mention catfights..and who doesn't love a great catfight lol?? |
Earthmother | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:24 am     I hate catfights, I'd rather use my money to amuse myself with bb than pay vet bills. |
Goddessatlaw | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:28 am     Earthmother: The correct answer is: if the Pope had one bird in his hand while he sh*t in the woods, and Gerry was hiding behind the two birds and their bush, Gerry STILL wouldn't be able to hear it because he never shuts up long enough to effectuate an eavesdrop. PS call me whatever you want, just don't call me late for dinner.  |
Buzzelda | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:36 am     It is very hard for me to watch Roddy because my daughter just divorced a man much like him. This guy is a misogynist and must manipulate and humiliate women in order to control them. These guys are capable of being charming and caring and nurturing if that is what is necessary to keep the woman under their thumbs. This is not role playing, it is a deep psychological disorder and is devastating to the women caught in this web. Yes, Chiara is needy and that is just why he chose her over Lisa. Notice that he plays on all her fears and insecurities. He flirted with Amy and that too is part of the campaign to control Chiara. This is not game playing this is who this guy really is! |
Earthmother | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:43 am     Goddessatlaw: What if his hands were clean? or is he just SOL? |
Maris | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:46 am     It is interesting that Roddy admires Alec Baldwin most of all Hollywood actors. Remember Alec Baldwin has a pretty violent temper and in fact in his wifes divorce petition she accused him of abuse. He was tried and acquitted for assaulting a photographer. |
Zachsmom | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:48 am     Really Buzz? You actually know Roddy on the outside of the house? You've seen him personally treat other women this way? I honestly don't see Roddy as anything other than an arrogant guy..there is a difference between arrogance and abusive behavior.. None of us know these HGs on the outside..we have no knowldege of past relationships they have had on the outside.. I think we should all keep our comments on HGs behavior within the house and not assume and speculate what type of person they are/are not outside of the house.. |
Earthmother | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:50 am     Well I like Pee Wee Herman so what's up with that? |
Foodbunny | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:52 am     My favorite author is H.P. Lovecraft, does that mean I'm a racist that's afraid of women? |
Blinky | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 08:54 am     I agree,even if she's had more p**cks than a 2nd hand dartboard, that's no way to treat someone |
