Don't Fall For Roddy Amy...
TV ClubHouse: Archives: Don't Fall For Roddy Amy...
C1mag | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 11:29 pm     Another very CREEPY aspect about roddy is the tone of his voice when he's playing someone. Listen to it sometime. It's all one soothing tone. It's creepy as hell. |
Bmh | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 11:30 pm     gezz..it makes me wonder..who would win in a contest of manipulation Roddy or infamous Will |
Moedog | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 11:31 pm     From LFPs: Friday, August 16, 2002 - 05:12 pm (Amy talking with Roddy) A - there is one thing to remember, we had a POV game (the offer you cannot refuse), remember, if I ever win POV and you are up, I have to take you off. Regardless...b/c that stems from way back. -------------------------- WHAT, AMY?!?!? "Way back" was before Roddy nominated you and had you kicked out of the house by a vote of 7-0. I'd consider any previous deals with Roddy to be null and void. Why would she even bring this up to Roddy? I don't get it. |
C1mag | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 11:34 pm     Will would be toast against Roddy. Will didn't play people. He sat back and allowed the two greediest people to play the game out with him as the one to take to the finals to beat for the money. Sorta Josh's game plan. Not much brilliance there. You either take the drug or you toss it. This group obviously wanted nothing to do with the drug so it's safe to say Will would have been gone this last Thursday. |
C1mag | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 11:42 pm     Wow Roddy just gave a perfect definition of Amy. He gets her inside and out. This is the key to this man. He understands how each one of them ticks and with a soothing voice gets right under their skin. Did they hire this guy for this game? I swear I expect him to say... "look into my eyes. You are falling,falling,falling" This dude is hella creepy! |
Wendo | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 11:54 pm     C1mag, yeah, I'm starting to wonder if you and I are related. LOL! We are completely on the same page when it comes to <> Roddy. I feel like you and I are becoming buddies. Heh. I'm a girl, so maybe that's why I have such distaste for Roddy. I've dated guys like him. Ye-uck. I wonder if Roddy took the opportunity before this game to read books about sociology and psychology. Because the way he is manipulating these people is so textbook. (cw) |
Bernie | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:05 am     Too right! That's why I don't want Amy to fall for Roddy. I posted this in the wrong thread earlier - Amy has learnt to open up, and it's hateful to me that she's opened herself up to Cruellara De Ville, and Machiavelli, just to be mind-raped. What a total swine this guy is! And I thought Will was a bad*ss... |
Marcellasfan | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:06 am     y'know, if someone started talking to me about the old marcellasfan and the new marcellasfan and then took credit for the "new", I'd have to rip 'em apart and so should Amy with Roddy. She's an adult, she can decide how she's going to act without some Azzhole pulling her strings. The sad part is that it seems like she allowing herself to be pulled. Why or why isn't she royally insulted? |
Bernie | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:12 am     Wouldn't it be wonderful if she was acting, and playing Roddy-giving him enough rope to hang himself? I so wish that were true, but alas, I think he's scr*wed her mind. Just 'cos a guy can talk a great talk doesn't mean he CARES! I'm so frustrated with Amy! |
Curlyq | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:14 am     Marcellasfan, that is what drives me so crazy (well, that and a few other things). It makes me ill how he is acting like Henry Higgins to her Eliza Doolittle. All I can think is that it has something to do with her being 23 and him being 30. At my age I can see this as insulting, but at her age she might be looking up to him for guidance. It's just making me crazy because OldAmy seemed to be so secure in who she was. Now she's looking to him for the Roddy stamp of approval. I'm losing respect for her now because she might as well be Chiara or Lisa. |
Marcellasfan | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:18 am     Curly, I'm afraid you're right. Roddy is just a creep. And I just don't find him attractive at all so I wonder what the girls find so appealing about him. There is something about his looks that reminds me of Moe from the three stooges. |
Saph036 | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:19 am     I never thought I would say this! I'm now a KIKI fan! Because Amy and Marc have taken her place! at least kiki put him up without an ounce of guilt.... I was ecstatic that Amy came back but watching her on bended knee in front Roddy today turned my world upside down... signed, a former marc and amy fan stone me later, dudes... |
Wendo | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:20 am     Yep. Actually, the NewAmy is serving Roddy. What a mind-f*ck on that last night he pulled on her (at the HT). He probably thought at the time, heh, I just got a jury vote. Now that she's back in, well, even better. One thing I'm seeing tonight with Roddy (he's chattin' it up with Lisa at the HG) is how ingratiating he is. He asked her her favorite place and she says Whitefish Lake (or something). He then retorts, Oh, I SO want to go their now! If the nominations come down as Jason vs. Chiara, I think I'm going to take a break from the feeds for a bit. Rather than having them on as often like I do, turn them on for a check, and then off. Will on BB2 didn't make me half as frustrated as Roddy has. |
Goddess146 | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:20 am     Look on the brighter side. Remember that Amy likes to play the "steal the boyfriend" game. Once Amy throws Chiara out, she will be able to make her romantic play for Roddy. Chiara will be on the outside looking in. That will drive Kiki crazy. |
Wendo | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:23 am     Saph036, hey, you're not the only one. I posted in the Marcellas's Attitude thread that, frankly, I'm not as enamoured by the Amy and Mar show as I was before her first eviction. It's nothing more than a rerun, and not as funny. In addition, Amy's voice just bugs the crap out of me anytime she's on the feeds. I had forgotten that after she left. (I know, a catty comment, but it's true!) |
Wendo | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:25 am     Goddess146, I'm actually wishing that ORD had happened now. I just don't like seeing yet another person manipulated by Roddy. And you know what, if she hadn't gotten HOH do you really think he would have given her the time of day like he did last night and today? Absolutely not. |
Fabnsab | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:38 am     It is all their own fault. They could be filling Amy's head just like he is but for some reason, they're taking the high road. They could be reminding Amy that he wanted a unanimous vote for her. They could tell her how he has said mean things about her, but nnooooo, they are letting her have her space and Roddy is slinking in. It is theirs for the taking if they knew how to play her. She wants to be loved and the only one giving her love right now is Roddy. |
Saph036 | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:41 am     Goddess, what fun will that be for us??? i've got my puke bucket ready... |
Bbrules4ever | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:46 am     before Amy left everyday she would get a secret "kiss" from Roddy, on the cheek. One day Roddy didnt "kiss" her and she ran to marcellus almost crying.......(this was around week 3 before she was nominated) Amy STILL has a major crush on Roddy....her body language, especially the coy look she gives him makes it obvious. Just watch the feeds--Amy *wants* Roddy....and Roddy plays it up BIGTIME(and I thought it was going to be the women using their sexuality --not the men!!) |
Snee | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 12:52 am     Marcellasfan: 'y'know, if someone started talking to me about the old marcellasfan and the new marcellasfan and then took credit for the "new", I'd have to rip 'em apart and so should Amy with Roddy...' you are right on target, oldnewmarcellasfan! that's the thing though--amy is neither you nor me. i would like to give the benefit of the house/pressure-cooker, but she's been out for 2 weeks and had the opportunity to think about things. i would listen, rapt, and then nom roddy's sorry a$$ with an 'interesting' speech. oldnewsnee |
Wendo | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 01:52 am     I'm about to turn the feeds off. Just can't watch Roddy anymore. He's now got his fangs into Gerry. He's using the same technique on Gerry that he used on Amy. Ingratiating himself by appealing to what he perceives is the persons weakness. I think Roddy has this one sewed up folks. Unless something dramatic happens, I see Roddy as one of the final two. Don't know if he'll win, but I think he is likely to be a finalist. The only reason I see him not winning, is if the jury really sees they were manipulated and have a backlash to Roddy's whole honesty routine. |
Dfwteddy | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 06:19 am     Reminds me of the adage, "Be careful what you wish for, as you might just get it!" The threads were full of "AMY, AMY, AMY" earlier in the week... well, we got Amy! The irony is that Chiara did what no one else has had the guts to do -- put Roddy up for eviction; Amy, who was handed the HoH by the clique in order to do their handiwork, won't put him up. Who needs any more contrived twists by the BB staff -- these HGs are twisted enough! |
Wcv63 | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 06:45 am     Who would have thought that Roddy's brainwashing of Amy would have survived two weeks in Margaritaville? Doesn't that distortion field have any parameters at all? Time and space evidently don't matter. Is there no escape from the pull of its dangerous vibes? Or is like some dread virus? The gift that keeps on giving? I only hope it cannot leech through my monitor or tv. If I start apologizing to Roddy for previously thinking unkind thoughts about him and his behavior, I want ya'll to call someone to deprogram me QUICK. Cost is no object. |
Maris | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 06:53 am     I am not a big fan of Roddy's but if he can pull this stuff off the guy deserves to win. I have to say I am admiring him more and more every day. The hamsters have been talking for weeks about how he has to go. They run to each other saying can you believe he is working me, he is the devil and they run back for more. Will said he would screw them, they knew it, commiserated over it and then ran back for more. Roddy says I am a softee, I dont lie, he implies but never promises and they run back for more. I would not count Dani out yet. You never know what a wounded bear is going to do and I think Dani is wounded right now. She cannot get her alliance to do exactly what she wants. Every week there is someone who either wont vote her way or wont nominate who she wants nominated. |
Espen | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 08:22 am     As much as we might hate Roddy if he behaved the way he does *outside* the House, and as much as we believe nobody could keep an act up this long (though 500K is a pretty strong motivation), one can't help admire his ability to avoid nominations and turn people in his favor *as it relates to the game*.. It is almost like Richard Hatch again, except with the added power (over women) of not being gay.. And anyone who followed Survivor knows how much he was hated up until the last day, and maybe even beyond? Though many did grudgingly admit he played a great game... Though I think there are three great players this time: Roddy, Danielle and Jason.. and several good ones: Lisa, Marcellus and even Gerry.. Compare this to the last two season where it seemed like noone played the game (Season 1) or just one did last year (Will).. I find it much easier to not assume anything about any of these players until they are out of the house.. I mean, look at Josh.. Probably the most hated player in BB history (except Boogie?)is now being accepted by most, and indeed did seem to reveal he was playing "a game" (though time will tell for sure).. And of course Will, who was indeed hated by most last year too... But, what would reality TV and BBFC without animated discussions about what these people must really be like... That said, Roddy is not my personal favorite, but if he does pull it off I would say he deserves it.. |
