Roddy just came in from talking to Gerry while the others were playing their movie game. He says it's f*cking boring, they've been playing it for four days and he's bored, bored, bored. He says How can they talk about other people they don't know and not talk about each other. That he CARES about everyone in the house and HE wants to know about them but they keep playing this f*cking game.

I'm sorry, what a friggin pompous a*shole. What a way to treat the others in the house. Man, I would go report that immediately to Marcellas. He loves that game too.

You're right Wendo. It really IS pompous to suggest that the HGs share themselves with each other instead of sharing their impressions of Jennifer Aniston. I'm not sure why I hadn't seen it that way before.

Tisha, I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but the game they play with each other is how THEY get to know each other. Just not the way Roddy does. Personally, I though he acted like a spoiled jerk, telling people they should share the way HE wants them to rather than the way they enjoy interacting.

Roddy: I invented that game.

Wow. Shades of Al Gore, the inventor of the Internet. LOL

Oh, did you hear him trying to comeback and "apologize"? Which wasn't really an apology because he then went on to say, in not so many words, that it's still a boring game.

Man, this guy. I don't think I've ever seen a more crummy dude in my life. Really.

What is this, bore the internet night? Once again we have four feeds on the pompus and boring Roddy doing what he does best: piously pontificating.

We have Lisa, Dani, Chiara and Jason in the HRD having fun and we get four feeds on the BORE.

And, he's continuing to ingratiate himself to Marcellas. Again. How can they not see it? How? How? How?

Maybe they do see thru it, but they editors don't include the dr entries to keep us on the edge of our seats? We only hear how "smart" he is. I mean if we can see thru his crap then they must be able to also??

I usually like each player in some way, but so far I just don't like Rod. He did have a good sense of humor at one point but?? Rod just gives me a headache.

Missy2: The amazing thing is that many of them do see it -- Dani, Jason, Lisa and Gerry (and occasionally Marcellas), -- but no one is making any moves to get him out of there.

And what is even more incredible to me is that Roddy has no real power base -- he only has Chiara on "his team." Yet Roddy is like a cat with nine lives, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, like the Energizer Bunny!

Why has the clique not voted for him? I don't get it either. The clique has the numbers to get him out, and they have the numbers to thwart the consequences. Neither Roddy nor Chiara has the support or numbers to continue more than another two weeks (unless the remaining one doesn't win HoH and is put on the bloc again the following week). Ultimately it matters little if either Roddy or Chiara is evicted next week as long as one of them is evicted. So why not take out the one all of them agree is the stronger player?

The clique thought they could count on Amy to do their dirty work, given the way she was nominated by Roddy against Marcellas... and not to mention the cold-hearted way he booted her out. That endurance test was disgusting, but anyone of them could have remained in that tub to get HoH and get the clique's business done. The clique chose not to do that. They "allowed" Amy up to be HoH to insulate themselves from having to nominate Roddy and Chiara themselves and reveal too much of their alliance. If Roddy has successfully turned Amy around, as it appears he has and like he has done so often with Chiara, he will be off the bloc next week. It is the clique's own fault that Roddy has slipped through their fingers once again.

Like so many on these boards, I personally don't like Roddy, but he is a fascinating player to watch -- the kind you love to hate. Amy seems concerned about "good TV," but she is misguided if she doesn't think it might make good TV if Roddy and Chiara were nominated together: (1) how long before Roddy moves his stuff to another bedroom? (2) to what lengths will they trash each other to stay and what might we learn, if anything, from this deconstruction? (3) will the others give them a dinner like they did for Eric & Lisa? (4) will the clique get wise and vote Roddy out, or stick with their word to Amy and vote out Chiara? Either way the vote goes it will be interesting to watch Chiara twist in the wind, to watch the disintegration of this "relationship," and I certainly won't miss whoever goes.

With that said:

* If Chiara leaves, it will then be interesting to watch Roddy's machinations the following week. With Eric, Josh and Chiara gone (and being uncertain about Jason and Lisa at this point), where will he turn -- Marcellas and Amy? Hmmmm... that would be an intriguing counterpoint to the Dani/Jason/Lisa combo... and Gerry, the ultimate outsider, playing both sides against the other and watching as each alliance tries to pick off the other...

* If Roddy leaves, this week of Chiara's disintegration will be nothing to the following week when she is AGAIN put up for nominations and has NO ONE to play or spin her lies (and no one to cuddle at night).

So if Amy chooses not to nominate Roddy I'll keep coming back to see: (1) will Roddy even try for POV, or will this be his chance to break free from Chiara? (2) Who will get HoH next week -- if Roddy, who will he nominate? and if not Roddy, will that person FINALLY nominate him? (3) When will Jason make his move, or will he get the chance (might Roddy nominate him if he makes HoH)?

As the numbers are reduced, as they get more weary of the game, and with the possibility of yet another twist (?), the drama will only increase.

(UGH! Guess I'm a little like Roddy myself -- piously pontificating!)
