there is one reason that i respect Roddy.

it is the "fact" that he has reprimanded Chiara to not use proper national nouns as adjectives modifying generic nouns that make them derogatory phrases. he has said, "you can't say that." he has said, "so, it means i have a taste for caucasian woman, too." (both very separate incidents (pp))

he appears to be accepting of other's sexual preferences and ethnicity. this is a big deal to me and i respect him for this. but, that's it.

hope this makes sense. don't wanna say the phrases that i refer to. it's water under the bridge.

I know it's not a popular opinion, but I really like Roddy.

I know he is a strong player in the game, but is that bad?

He is a stragegizer - is that bad?

Roddy has always been kind to the other HGs - all the way back to Lori. When someone seems to be feeling bad, he's right there either trying to "play" them out of it or right out hugging them. No matter how unpopular Josh was, he always treated him kindly and was absolutely wonderful to him after their argument.

Roddy is like a lot of other people I know who love to debate a topic - often playing the devil's advocate in the discussion in order to fully explore the issue. He talks about those things that interest him.

He's smart and seems truly interested in different bits and pieces of information (bad?).

He hooked up with the "girl next door" at the onset and has had his eyes opened (as we all have). He obviously does not respect Chiara very much now and, I'm sad to say, neither do I. Now he's between a rock and a hard place as far as she is concerned.

He has expressed that he has no use for cheating/cheaters, hasn't/doesn't use drugs, etc.

Roddy is a very good looking man. Yes, his hair is thinning. Geez!

There are others in the house I also really like and would be happy to see win, but I would be just as happy for it to be Roddy.

Hi all. I just read one post at another thread where someone basically said he was emotionally abusive to chiarra and another post at another thread that said he is a sociopath. I think people are getting a little carried away there!! I personally think he has a good heart and has been caught up in the game and is playing it as best he knows how. I like that he is rarely ugly to other houseguests. There has been too much bashing going on behind people's backs.

Hermione, I hardly think we're getting carried away, we're giving our humble-and-informed opinions. Disagree with us, but maybe post that in the appropriate thread!

Anyway, I like Roddy because he's cute, and he reads.

I really like RODDY because....He came on BB3 and has been very entertaining to me!!!! I also think anyone that can do that good of an impression of Chewbaca is TV material!

My post was pro-Roddy how was that not appropriate here? I said, "I personally think he has a good heart and has been caught up in the game and is playing it as best he knows how. I like that he is rarely ugly to other houseguests." I was commenting on other posts in other threads for comparison purposes; perhaps I worded it wrong? I meant it to be this is what other people are saying, so I am glad to find a pro-Roddy post. (Although it is MHO that calling Roddy a sociopath is getting carried away. They are entitled to believe it, I'm entitled to think it is rather far-fetched.)

Man, I really need to get a life, LOL!

Although Roddy is an atheist now, I don't believe he will be for all his life. He is to intelligent not to research the subject further at some point. When he does, I predict he will discover for himself the undeniable evidence from the first century. Besides, he is still young, and life has a way of "beating up on you"....losing your folks to death, divorce, kids in diapers, etc...
Any other predictions?

I respect Roddy's ability to modulate his emotions while maintaining a solid, unshakeable tower of an image.

I like Roddy because he trims his nose hairs quite well.
