Keiffer | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 09:55 pm     You know they have to be careful Roddy may just come from a family that can afford to sue CBS for this sham they are calling a game. They may end up paying him regardles of what heppens from her on out. |
Maris | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 09:57 pm     Just joking WC, I am just drunk with glee watching the hamsters spinning in the wheels today. Everyone of them is totally thrown for a loop. Except Gerry. He is smiling away. |
Ryn | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 09:58 pm     Loppes, if you missed the TV show tonight it was obvious by Danielles DR talk that they wanted Amy to get HoH, heck a lot of the people (including me) on this board said thats how it should go (that once Roddy was out the other HGs should get out). Roddy has no one to blame but himself for jumping out before the 1st squid hit the water - LOL |
Sanfranjoshfan | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 09:59 pm     Anybody who throws any HOH has no room to complain about anything. It's a GAME and if you have the guts to actually PLAY it (like Amy) then you might just win! Oh Roddy...I thought you were smarter than this! LOL |
Spree17 | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 09:59 pm     exactly roddy has no room to complain. he stayed in that tub 1 minute more than I did. |
Draheid | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:00 pm     I DO NOT believe the handlers specifically revealed any information about what had been going on in the house, such as ORD. For a couple of reasons: 1. Were the handlers pretty much isolated from the show along with the HG's? Now would they know specifically what had or had not been discussed in the house? (Yeah, I suppose they COULD have been talking to the producers, but we don't know!) 2. What kind of Rocket Scientist certification do you think it would take to figure out the reason behind ORD and presume, from the perspective of the returning HG, that such discussions had already taken place within the house?? If we presume the above are true, my theory is that the handlers, *IF* they discussed this with Amy, discussed it only in the context of "Yeah, that makes sense. You probably NEED to get HoH if you can!" Is this so far-fetched an idea to be completely ruled out? Isn't it just possible that Amy is a little smarter then some are giving her credit for?? Am I just rambling to see my words appear on the screen??? Anyway, this is just speculation on my part, just like every other theory on these boards is speculation on the part of the posters. JMO - FWIW Oh, and bottom line here, THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT! (at least it's supposed to be!) |
Sassylady | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:03 pm     How can they claim she was more rested...ever heard of jet-lag? I guarantee they are much more rested than Amy. I think the HOH game was a very even/fair competition. Just as the game to get back into the house..very fair! |
Spree17 | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:05 pm     it wasnt even about rest anyway. they were sitting on their butts not running marathons. LOL |
Spunky | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:07 pm     I don't get it... wasn't this discussion already on earlier...even last night, so this means that he's repeating his complaints about HOH tonight?? All this complaining should get Amy's attention, or is she still blinded by the light?? (Roddy, that is). |
Maris | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:07 pm     Plus Sassy, how could she be more rested if she was drinking margaritas every night. The girl had to be dragging. I think it is a testament to her strength that she stayed in that tub with the cod liver oil and a potential two week hangover. |
Sassylady | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:07 pm     Draheid: I agree. I am being entertained and enjoying every minute. |
Ryn | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:08 pm     This all cracks me up - Roddy and Chiara are the 1st two out of the Tub the others are in there for nearly 3 hours. The others discuss the situation with Amy, they get her to discuss nominating Roddy & Chiara - she said to Gerry earlier tonight that they let her have HoH when they all thought she was going to nominate R & C. yeeeeeeeesssssshhhhhhh people - Roddy screwed himself byt getting out of that tub and letting the other HGs have time alone with Danielle, Lisa, Jason, etc. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:09 pm     Amy said she only went out drinking marguiritas on two Saturday nights...and I don't know about Ixtapa, but Puerto Vallarta only has a 2 hour time difference from California. |
Abby | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:10 pm     I cant believe that Roddy knowing that "Cheetah" could not compete in the HOH game would throw it. It was like he is confident that he can talk anyone into staying in the house and as for Amy winning? He knows he can wooooo Amy to his corner...About the Twist.. I have stated what I think of that in other threads |
Sassylady | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:10 pm     Exactly my point Maris :0) |
Draheid | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:10 pm     Actually, Ryn, Chiara was never in the Tub...outgoing HoH and all...! |
Battlestar | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:16 pm     roddy is furious that he screwed up and jumped out of the tub and now he is putting the blame elsewhere. If he wanted power--he should have kept his butt glued down and not have wussed out |
Gina8642 | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:17 pm     I hope they ask Roddy why he got out so quick, and show it next time. |
Battlestar | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:18 pm     new name for Roddy Wussy Whiner --he could have outlasted Amy if he had tried |
Wendo | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:19 pm     I can't believe Lisa hasn't told Amy Roddy's feelings about this. I'm sure she would find VERY interesting. These people just don't think... |
Ellenkats | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:21 pm     Perhaps Roddy would like Amy to peel some sour grapes for him to eat.... |
Whit4you | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:29 pm     NOn-chess players ... When you non-chalantly expose one of your better pieces...you want the other person to act quick and not think about the fact their might be a very good reason ie a check-mate 2 moves down the road... as to why you just handed them that piece. Rod could NOT win HOH this week - he just got a 5-0 vote to keep him IN - he couldnt put ANY Of them up... could he NOT if he wants to win in the end. BUT he doesn't want that to seem obvious or aparent to anyone including any evicted HG's who might be reading all this stuff on the net... so he's playing a 'ooops' this thing you do after you intentionally expose a good chess piece...hoping THEY act fast and don't realize it is a total set up. You make this little gasp and go to move it then 'realize' you can't...to late..once you take your finger off... THEY may or may not fall for that - depends on the player and their skill level and how many times you've done this manuever... Rod could NOT get HOH this week that was obvious - he has no worried about going out he was told by all 5 opponents they want to keep him just minutes before... 5-0 vote spoke VOLUMES. But afterwords he couldnt make it obvous that he didn't want to win HOH because that'd make him show his true hand - nom at least 2 of them... if not three with the POV... thus making 2 or 3 or even more enemies... so now he's playing the "I got out because... of..." type thing - pretending he exposed himself...to go for the checkmate while that "hehe he messed up' mentality works it's magic |
Battlestar | Friday, August 16, 2002 - 10:33 pm     ---well he should have a least played the game , not just knocked the board over into the mud. and there was still Amy available to put up with a decoy if the ORD was the way they were going to play it |
Patman | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 08:44 am     Roddy got out of the tub because he knew he'd win over Chiara, so why be miserable for a few hours sitting in that nasty tub of crap. |
Maris | Saturday, August 17, 2002 - 08:45 am     Whit you had it exactly right. This morning when Marc asked him why he got out he went back to the fact that he was not voted out by 5-0. It was a big deal to him. |
