And here I was looking forward to seeing Roddy and Chiara on their "special date." Dress-up, flowers, champagne, lobster, then edible body-paint!

They did have a special date. Roddy held an intervention for Chiara last night and showed her the error of her ways. Touching scene

Roddy didn't want a dinner. He said that would have been "manufactured romance" played up for the TV cameras.

Roddy keeps saying they are not a couple so why would they get a date? He also made it clear he did not want one.

that's interesting, Crazydog ... Roddy understands life so-much-better than I do .. I guess that a bj in the hammock would have been much more romantic and special.

And Maris ... Hysterical!

LOL: I think Roddy's real reason was who would do the cooking for them ...
Justifiable concern, IMHO!

They didn't even like the photograph they were given as a memento. I don't think a dinner date would've gone over well either. They probably would've just fought through it.

I agree with Roddy on this one about a "manufactured romance" for the cameras. The dinner date with Lisa and Eric was totally cheesy. <gag>

Not only was it cheezy it wasted a lot of good tv time. It's bad enough we had to watch it over and over on the feeds but to take up 15 minutes of show on it made me mad.

I think your feelings about the Eric and Lisa date depend on your feelings about Eric and Lisa. Me, I liked them. I didn't think their dinner was cheesy because unlike Roddy and Chiara, their connection and attraction to each other was real. They were so touched by the kindness of the others, it was nice to see.

I liked Eric and Lisa too. I didn't necessarily want either of them to win the game at the time. But I liked them, and I thought they seemed to share something pretty genuine. I don't remember them as taking up too much tv time. But can't really remember.

Did anyone besides me hear Amy say at one point after she nominated Chiora and Roddy, "And they're NOT getting a dinner!"? She said that pretty icily. I believe she was in the HoH room when she said it.

Draheid, I think it would be even harder to find a TASTER for the food for Chiora and Roddy. No matter which of the hamsters cooked the food, certainly someone would try to POISON IT!! ROTFL!

Well, we've seen Rod show Chi the "error of her ways" in the Tiki Room, the Map Room, HOH, the bathroom area, dining/kitchen area, the DR, the lounge chairs, the hot tub and the hammock....he's got to be feeling unfulfilled if he doesn't get the chance to do it over candlelight too! He probably won't be able to sleep tonight, lol.

I think it was Marcellas who started the "no dinner" which Amy chimed in on.. in the HOH.

Too late now for dinner.. one of them will walk before dinner tonight.

I guess I'm not into those romantic dinners. They just seem so forced. Also they have always signaled the beginning of the end of my relationships. I guess my idea of romantic is Harry and Sally talking on the phone before going to sleep at night. I like the bare bones essentials of a relationship--being able to communicate effectively with one another. A hundred dozen roses and candlelight dinners couldn't replace that crucial element.

That being said, on a twisted level I enjoyed watching Chiara and Roddy having one last argument. Their relationship is intriguing to me because they are so different, not just cuddle bunnies.

I think this is another reason Kiki's so pissy - not just that they didn't get a date. But you know if memory serves, didn't she and Roddy kinda "hook up" first - then Lisa and Eric, and since their attraction was (seemingly) more genuine, theirs was the relationship that got all the attention, not Kiki and Roddy. I think it made Chiara bitter and jealous - that the other couple got all the attention. (And that Lisa might have found something real and not just a TV manufactured romance)

Kiki was publicly "DIVORCED" by her man R which means the gurl was kicked <in the behind> to the curb. She is nothing to R
