Finished

Cast-off
Kumquat
snap*snap
Doo-Doo

TRACY, you state Rod is already sleeping alone in a cot.
When did this start? Didn't he make a very sweet comment in his nom speech about he & Chi being an item in the house?
Or was that all so 5 minutes ago??

I think that's because it was being aired and he's trying to come across as a charming gallant fellow. He's always aware of his 'image' to the cameras as well as the evicted (translate: voting) hgs. His true colors came out in his little disclosure to Marc in the hammock tonight when he talked ALL around it but definitely was telling Marc that the whole Chiara thing was not real. Just a part of playing the game, using what benefits he had available to him. Marc understood what he was saying too.

I think Roddy is a "multiple truths" person. I think he meant both commments, and took into consideration what his audience in both situations wanted to hear. The truth is relative, not absolute, in Roddy's world.

Roddy laid down on one of the cots during the HoH competition.. I don't think it was him "dumping" Chi.. remember.. at that point last night.. Roddy and Chi were semi-bedless -- leaving the HoH room but not sure who would be going in so not sure which beds were going to be open.

Not disagreeing that he might dump Chi (although I think he will be subtly campaigning to get her booted instead of him).. just don't think his little rest on the cot had anything to do with it...

I loved Poohbears use of the snap system!

If Amy nominates Gerry and Chiara instead of Roddy and Chiara (lot of speculation on that this morning after their bonding session last night), what do you guys think Roddy will do? Do you think he will want Chiara or Gerry to stay? That may seem like a no-brainer, but I think he will try to ease away from KiKi no matter what.

Willwillbee - did you see Chiara when Roddy made that comment about being an item? She simpered. She actually simpered. Chiara simpered at the overwhelmingly touching, live-telecast tribute to their love. I can't remember the last time I saw a real simper.

I guess it's better than what I did, which was convulse.

I think Roddy got out of the tub because the squid totally freaked him out. Nothing more than that. His staying in the house depended on him winning!

I think he a Chiara were history the day she put him up. He will play her until one leaves, she is his only ally. They are done and have been for a week.

Goddess- did you notice on the feeds while they were eating dinner, Amy was answering a question Roddy had asked her, and out of the blue, Chiara blurts out Roddy said we were an item. Talk about marking your territory!

Even if she puts up Gerry and Chaira, whoever gets veto can take Gerry off..although I doubt that would happen.. I still think she will put up Roddy and Charia. How can she forget he is the reason she was on the block. If it was me I wouldn't forget.....And also even though she said she has changed, people can't change everything in a few weeks, I don't buy it. It takes time to change feelings/habits, etc..

I agree with fruitbat. He really couldn't believe C would put him up. I'm sure that bothers him. Revenge is sweet though... for both of them..

He's not going to break up with her in the house. If you watched the feeds when he came to bed after his all night chat with Amy, he snuggled right in with his girlfriend. If he had any thoughts of dumping her, he wouldn't have had to do that. He planted a little seed in Marcellas that they really weren't that close, but he is trying to play Marcellas into getting Gerry on the block. You need to watch the little things that take place between R & C that wouldn't need to take place if there wasn't something there, not the convos where they are trying to play other people. R & C are close and will stay that way while in the house.

I dunno about that, Minny. Did you see on the show last night when they were showing a shot of Chiara with her legs up in the air that one time (soft, chewy center)? Chiara's leg (you could only see one) was on the left of the screen and in the background, very visible, was Roddy and his expression was NOT AMUSED. Also, I noticed his body language is usually leaning away from her. People who study body language would say that means he is distancing himself. I think he is afraid to dump her too soon because that will only make him look like a bad guy. And we all know Roddy is the guy in the white hat, right?

Hermione69 - I did not see that last night. I also am a big believer in body language and I watch how they are when they are alone together. He does the little things that he wouldn't have to do if there wasn't something there. That's what I'm basing my opinion on.

Hi again Minnie! You may be right, I'm no expert, just have my little opinion as everyone does! I know that sometimes we look for what we want to see and therefore we see it. I have trouble believing he is really into her so I tend to look for signs that point otherwise.

This will be an inetersting week regardless!

Here's a thought: Could it be that Roddy is 'anticipating' the future (*IF* he makes it to the final 2). That there will likely be 6 females and 4 males on the final jury and that outright DUMPING Chiara while still on the show would be a grave mistake because of the final vote? Maybe he's strategizing that dumping her before the final would be another reason for the females to vote AGAINST him in for the grand prize...

JMO - FWIW

Draheid - anything's possible, but I think that Roddy knows his days are numbered and he is only thinking short term. He is going to have to scramble, but I don't think that dumping Chiara is in the plans. If they are put up together, it will be interesting to see how they react to the situation. Will they accept it and try to spend as much time with each other as possible or, will they campaign against each other and attempt to distance from each other? Could be an interesting week.

Minny.. I agree that Roddy knows his days are numbered... in his final comments to Josh he said something about.. See you soon.. probably in a few days..

Roddy knows he doesn't have the power in the house.. but he is working it hard... which is the whole point of being there IMO.

I think R snuggled up to C after talking to Amy till 5:30am cause he Knows C is gonna have a hairy fit ooops she waxed her pits so might not be a hairy one LOL Even if Amy doesnt put C& R up on block and say she puts C&G C will be gone. Im praying D tells Amy all about the complaining R did in Hot tub...... I'm hoping Amy girl is smart and knows R is trying to use her. Crossing fingers that she puts R& C on block and R is history next week. I was so happy Gerry stayed up till at least 4:30am so R couldnt talk game.
Yesterday was the best show yet.. so far....

IMO, FWIW, Roddy does not care for Chiara and never did. He saw her attraction to him in the beginning and used it to keep an alliance in the game, much like he used Josh's weird Roddy worship. She will end up leaving the house much like Josh did, hurt and bewildered, but forgiving him in the end. He is a diabolical game player.

He reminds me of the type of men who acts one way when they are alone with their girlfriend/wife but betray, belittle, and generaly make their partners life a living hell in all others.
This type of man gets away with it, because the woman always says: ~but no one knows how we are when we are alone! He treats me so tenderly!~ ACk!!!

I had a friend who suffered though a disfuntional relationship like this for 10 freaking years. It drove me nuts. He would disaprove of just about anything she did or said, put her down if front of people (in a subtle manner that everyone else got but just seemed to go right over her head) cheat on her, and never gave her support or was there for her when she needed it the most.
It was SO clear to EVERYONE who knew them that he was manipulating her, but she would always say, ~but no one knows what we are like when we are alone!~

Roddy threw Chiara a little bone by "acknowledging" their "relationship" during the live show last night. He knows that along with a few snuggles in bed at night, its all it will take to string her along, much like my friend.

I just don't buy that Roddy has any feelings for Chiara at all, and never did. I can't stand either one of them. (in the context of this game)

Just had to get this off my chest, its been brewing since the start. I feel better now.

The one thing I noticed from last night was Roddy's face when Amy was talking about how they were all perceived out there in the world. I think it shocked him a little bit when she was going on about how everyone loved Marcellas. This is a guy who is always talking about the cameras and how the cameras dont lie, look at what the tapes show. I think he spent a lot of time last night worrying about what exactly the tape does show because it doesnt show him in a good light. He knows that if Amy heard anything positive about him she would have said it. He is also worrying about what exactly Amy was told by other people about all the HGs.

Roddy is going to work Amy very hard today and lets see if Dani or Lisa give him any chance to talk to Amy alone again.

I think the main reason that Roddy stepped out of the tub is his PRIDE. This is a guy who consciously and deliberately projected a classy and superior image in contrast to the other houseguests..for all the world to see. He has too much self importance to subject himself to the muck that others would stoop to in order to advance themselves in the game. He knows he can win the game without stooping to the other houseguests' level. He's also able to play dirty(using his pawns) without getting his hands messy. Can this guy be any more perfect?
