Does anyone else think Roddy would make a heck of a politician? That is to say....he is good at covering his rear; constantly spinning for all he's worth; getting others to do the dirty work for him; and talking nonstop about his "honesty" in all he has said and done.

He constantly refers to the tapes of the show and how they will prove his "integrity". Give me a break!!!! This guy should run for office if and when the HG's get the courage to boot him out!!

No, then again, maybe. He's just using her, but she may be able to get her hooks in him and ride his coattails!!!

He's at it again! At the 9:56 p.m. posting on LF by Watching2, Josh and Roddy are at the HT. And Josh asks if there is anything else you think I should take care of before I go?

This, after earlier in the day he went to Gerry and told him Marc would put him up at the first opportunity. Then Josh gave Roddy the high sign.

And Roddy gets incensed when there is dishonesty and backstabbing in the house? As long as HE doesn't participate in this uncivil behaviour, he is above it all....or so he thinks!

Roddy is about as legit as a counterfeit bill, but I do think he's there to do one thing and that is to play the game and win.

Not quite two peas in a pod Bb, Roddy is a traditional cigar smoker while Mr. Bill liked to improvise.

Anyone notice that when Roddy talks in the DR he is always sitting forward and talking straight at the camera? I don't know if he does it on purpose, but it definately makes him seem more assertive and commanding to the viewer. Just compare that to Josh or Chiara who tend to slump back in their chairs. It's definatley the way a politician would speak to the camera.

Roddy is really working on Jason. Which is the more consummate politician, the one who is talking or the one who just sits and listens?

Roddy finally starts his regrouping strategy. May it be as poor as his original one!

Interesting that Danielle shows up before it really gets started. LOL

He is trying to work a deal with Jason and get a commitment from him. He wants to know who he can count on in the house. Jason was very non-commital.

It may take a promise of big bucks to get Roddy to the finish line.

Just like in the real world of politics!!!

But it's against the rules, correct? But when did rules (and laws) stop anyone recently?

To become the consumate politician Roddy needs to pay attention to his overall image. IMO he is cold, calculating and sinister although he does have some of the other moves down pat.

Standing in front of a mirror and practicing a *genuine* smile (albeit contrived) and a portrayal of 'what I can do for you' wouldn't be a miss either.

P.S. It's one thing to delegate action to other people too but don't politicians have to take some personal responsibility in getting things done as well?
