You know I think for once I'll take my "cynical hat" off and take this at face value. Chia left Roddy something very important to her and he was touched by it. That's all, enough said. For once lets all cut these people a break.

As much as I hate Roddy I believe that no matter what his romantic interests may or may not be towards her, he truly was affected by what Chiara did. I'm not going to analyze it any further!

Thanks for the replies. Now I know what she left!

Let's be intelligent folks...

It's possible to be manipulating AND have emotions at the same time, you know. Don't fall into the trap of characterizing everyone as either black or white... the world is made up of grey.

Roddy is a mastermind, Roddy thinks a great deal of himself, but Roddy does have a heart. It's VERY difficult to be an effective mastermind if you don't have empathy for others' feelings. It falls apart without that.

My sister had a woobie from birth. She is now 30 and still keeps what's left of the tattered "thing" in her purse. If anyone touches it, they are toast. She would go into a burning building to save it. My son is 10 and from birth til about 7 he had a woobie that I wasn't even allowed to wash because he couldn't part with it for that long. If it got lost, we had to just about call out the national guard to find it. My point is...if you are a woobie person, it is VERY hard to part with it and it isn't done lightly, or at all. So for whatever her reasons, it was a huge gesture on her part to tell him that he was more important to her than her woobie.

Okay ... a technical question. Now we know what a woobie is .... how did it get the name?

We got the name from the movie "Mr. Mom" with Michael Keaton...his son had a woobie and they had to go thru the whole "give up the woobie and become a man" drama...seems like it involved a vacuum cleaner or something. Anyway, that's where we got it from when my sister was little.

Jimmer a woobie is a comfort or security device used by kids. The nickname woobie has probably been around as long as pacifiers have been named "binkies" or "nonnies".

Who says BB is mindless entertainment? Tonight alone, I have learned three new words: woobie, binkie and nonnie.....:)

bastable: 'It's possible to be manipulating AND have emotions at the same time, you know.'

i agree. i entertain the possibility that giving r woobie wasn't a trick thing and also that roddy's reaction to it was genuine. however, roddy knew about woobie in his bag earlier (correct me if i'm wrong here) and didn't seem so touched. okay, okay, he could have been too nervous about the eviction.

still, i think it was a HUGE guesture on chiara's part and, i've gotta say, GIRL, RODDY ISN'T WOOBIE-WORTHY! sorry, avery!

Do we know that he was not so touched? He said it was right before the live show that he saw it, which we all had FOTH for.

Be funny if Chiara really bought her woobie at the goodwill store as part of her game strategy. :-)
just thinking someone that attached to a blankie to bring it on a show prolly wouldn't let it out of her site (or be able to sleep without it)

that's exactly why i said it was a HUGE gesture! it would be funny if it were a fake woobie, though.

Why did Chiara give Roddy her precious Woobie?

It was a hook. Roddy was hinting that he did not want to see Chiara right after he got out. The Woobie is her hook to make sure they get in contact right after Roddy is out.

I wonder if Roddy will pull her trick and send it to her via messenger. That would be good poetic justice.

Oh Goddess, my thought exactly. As I was reading this thread it came to me and I couldn't get the hook theory out of my mind. Yes, I think Roddy was <<<trying>>> his best the last few days to get Chiara to break up with him and she was glossing it over. Now Roddy has two things to concern himself with, the game AND the Woobie-hook.

No, I disagree, Goddess and Cream. At the very least Roddy and Chiara will see each other on September 25. If he doesn't want to talk to her he can just give it to her then.

September 25th? Oh my gawd, I'll never get my life back!
And I also had the base notion that Chiara was leaving a woobie-hook - sheesh I'm feeling mean...NOT!

QUESTION: did Roddy disinfect the woobie before he cuddled it?

Bernie: I'm feeling just as mean!

Kady and I were talking about Chiara leaving her woobie for Roddy. My 20 year old daughter was listening. She has a blankie that she still sleeps with and takes whereever she goes. I wish you all could have seen the look of horror on my daughter's face. All she could say is, 'NO WAY!' It gave Kady and me a big laugh. :)

I also should add that I don't often say anything nice about Chiara, but I thought that was really touching that she left something for Roddy that meant so much to her.

I have always believed that Chiara's feelings for Roddy were sincere but I thought she was foolish to fall so hard, so fast for someone she barely knew.

Now Roddy's feelings for Chiara...he wanted a fling with no commitments. He should have made that clearer to Chiara from the start, but after she started naming their children it was already too late to look like anything but a jerk. Roddy isn't unfeeling so I do believe the woobie really touched him.
