We may be about to see Roddy finally lose his cool. Currently everyone is in the hot tub, except M and A. Roddy got in and started complaining about the HOH competition. He said that he was complaining in the DR that is was slighted towards Amy, because she was refreshed.

He and Kiki are going on about it. I think if Amy puts them on the block, there will be fireworks for sure.

What does being refreshed have to do with will power? Roddy is really grasping now. He should have been glued to that tub.

Poor Roddy. He couldn't last two minutes in the tub. Boohoohoo. He thought ORD would send her right back out the door. Well, guess what, Roddy? Not everyone plays by Rodrules. You're goin' down, dude! (I'm lovin' every minute of it)

There is no excuse for Roddy! They've been eating extremely well in the house this week, have been working out and he's leading that pack not straggling. He's had the benefit of sleeping in the HOH which is a lot quieter than the other rooms and less stressful (well, maybe not considering who the landlady was as his bedmate!). The other hgs seemed to last just fine....I think he's just grabbing at straws trying to cover for his premature exit.

I think he figured out that if he were HOH, it would make his life a living hell and he'd lose face with the others if he nominated Chiara, and he wants her GONE...just counting on someone else to do the dirty deed. He is always thinking of those final votes! (think of how he acts in his DR entries...soooo positive, tries to say something very intimate, personal to the evicted hg even if he was so instrumental in their ultimate departure!)

Maybe if he hadn't chosen to stay up so late with Josh (again schmoozing for his vote at the end?) he might have felt more rested, so IF he truly was tired, it was his choice.

I can't wait to hear Amy say at the nominations,
"Roddy, I nominate you because you would be a vote for Chiara"

Guiltyviewer, Ugh, I hate Roddy's DR entries to the evicted HG's. Imo, they smack of insincerity and pandering. It's so obvious that he's playing his endgame in there. Bleh. May he be tossed out on his butt soon.

Though, he does have a way of keeping in there. He's a master, I'll give him that. If he and Chi are up, I think he'll let her self-destruct just like Josh did.

Has he offered any explanation for how fast he jumped out of that tub? I wondered if he had some fear of the squid, thought they were alive, or something like that. I thought he looked a little freaked out when he jumped, then after awhile he looked very unhappy.

I just can't figure out how Roddy thought taking himself out of the HOH right off the bat was a strategic move! He had to figure that if he didn't win he'd be nominated with Chiara, no other scenario makes sense. My surprise was that everyone else didn't quickly exit once he disqualified himself. You've got to know that Danielle was mentally rubbing her hands together in glee when she saw him jump out of that tub!

Last night's show was so perfect, I couldn't have scripted it better myself! LOVE IT!

I think Roddy has a false sense of security. He may have interpreted the unanimous vote to evict Josh as a sign of how the others view him.
He probably thought he didn't need to make any effort because doesn't believe anyone would want to evict King Roddy. However, Amy winning I think is making him nervous.

I agree Eden. I was expecting quick exits after he left but they decided to play it smooth and act like they actually cared.

Shyguy, I think you hit the nail right on the head. Roddy was lulled into a sense of security by the unanimous vote. He figured everyone liked him, and he would be safe from being nominated again. He was also counting on ORD, but once Amy one HOH, that blew that out of the water. Now he is upset that he didn't think it through all the way.

I bet he will try to hang Chiara out to dry. He realizes that being associated with Chiara is doing him more harm than good, especially after Josh publicly exposed her during the POV meeting.

Good Point Shyguy, and I agree :-)

I believe that Roddy thought he was safe because he was sure that Gerry would go up. He never for a minute imagined that Amy would win.

Roddy's whining is getting ridiculous. He's saying how unfair it is that Amy had the time to rest and privacy and how suspect it is because it made for great TV. This is going to be a fun week.

Oh, Roddy's freakin' for sure. They just showed on the live feed he and Gerry talking about the HOH competition. He's arguing that Amy was rested, time away from the house, etc. What a whiner. He's trying to cover now. He planned to jump out because he was counting on ORD but didn't want to be the one who had to do the dirty deed. It's his M.O. However, he just didn't anticipate the others deciding to bail out as well. If you're going to rely on others, you better make d*mn sure one of them is going to get the job done. He's worried, very worried because this time, he really IS on the block.

Oh, Mar just came into the HRD with Danielle and told her about his last words to Amy when she was evicted, that it would be revenged. He then said, Amy hasn't forgotten. Oh the glee!

Marci told Dani that when Marci and Amy were in the DR together, Amy said "they" (Amy and Marci's nomination) would be avenged.

Yeah being refreshed was really not a requisite for sitting in a tub. Especially since the winner did not even sit in the tub for that long, did they?

It is not exactly like they are being put through some terrible conditions. While the mental part of the game is taking a toll, they spend most of their time on vacation. Working out, getting a suntan and lounging around. Not exactly taxing.

I have been a Roddy supporter, but I do not agree with the argument that the HoH challenge was slanted towards the rested one. At least not the way it played out. Had it actually become a marathon with him and a couple of other HG's fighting off sleep from being there so long then perhaps that argument might have made since.

Since he jumped out in 1 minute he doens't have a claim. Had he competed and lost because of falling asleep and Amy had won then there would have been an argument.

Of course the producers might have suspected that the HG would maybe sit in that tub for 15 hours to win... had they suspected that then they did slant the contest towards to person coming back. The person coming back had it turned into a real endurance contest I think would have had an advantage. I understand wanting the returning HG to have the best chance to get a good week their first week back.

It just didn't turn into an endurance thing.

How long did the "endurance" HOH comp. last?

Morning, Keiffer. I gotta say, I'm not a Roddy admirer (big surprise there), but he certainly is working the game and there's NOTHING wrong with that. I have to give him an A for effort. If he goes down, he's gonna go down swinging. Gotta like that in any player.

Roddy's back is broke. :( Only Amy and Marcellas can save him now.

It lasted almost exactly 3 hours 'cause Amy won just before the show came on here on the west coast. Not nearly as long as BB probably expected and wanted!

Jason and Amy were the last two. Chiara dumped in the #4 buckets of cod liver oil and Jason got out.

What is ORD? Thanks!

IMHO, Roddy appeared to be thinking that Jason could easily win the HoH competition. And, in keeping with his apparent strategy of 'Let others do the dirty work', he did NOT want HoH this week because he is hoping whoever did win HoH, will get rid of Chiara for him. He was quite surprised when Amy won and may now be truly worried about being nominated again (unlike last weeks 'fear' of being on the block which, IMO, was a joke).

My hope is that Amy will give to Roddy the same exact speech that he gave her when he nominated her two weeks ago (re. the unaminous vote, etc) and tells Chiara the same thing Roddy told to Marcellas (you are a vote for Roddy, yada yada). THEN let the house decide which is truly better to get rid of.

The only wild-card this week will be PoV. If anyone but the Chiara gets it, I'd bet they won't use it. That will also be a very entertaining show!

Again, all of this is just my oppinion. Let's see what the week holds!

JMO - FWIW

Ddr1135- operation revolving door...the plan to immediately boot whover came back in the house. There's a thread about it somewhere in here.
