When Roddy thinks he is saying something funny he gets this high pitched "little girl" voice. He seems to be doing it more and more. It is driving me nuts.

It sounds like a daddy talking to a baby. I sometimes think he is being condescending when he uses the voice. I sometimes think he is feeling insecure when he uses the voice.

Whatever it is, I just wish he would stop it.

Remember BB1 when Brit and Curtis used those funny voices? I loved those, hate Roddy's attempt at humour.

goddess, i totally agree with you about not liking roddy's special voice he seems to be using more and more often, however i wouldn't characterize it as a daddy speaking to a baby. it does have the higher pitch but not the warmth of a parent adoring their child. he always goes up to the high pitch on the last word or two, like someone doing a bad imitation of an opera singer...reminds me a little of the old rowan and martin's laugh-in show with joanne worley's signature voice...does anyone else know what i mean.
sorry about the lack of caps and correct punctuation, broken keyboard...prolly should just not post but stuck in bed and bored to tears so here i am. insert smiley face

Glad to see you however you post, Guilty :-) And hope you're okay.
My computer crashed on Saturday night/Sunday morning, and gave up the ghost again last night, so I haven't been able to be here for the last 20+hours, except for a couple of times when I managed to get in a post before everything went squiffy again.
I had withdrawal symptoms-I had a nap! LOL!
Anyway....to stay on topic-I haven't had the opportunity to hear this new Roddy voice-perhaps Amy is rubbing off on him?

hiya bernie---big warm smile here---sorry you had computer issues too---driving me batty but i need my bb fix ;-]...this roddy voice is something he's done before but seems to be doing so much more frequently now...that or it's just aggravating me more so i pay attention now. he will typically use it at the end of sentences, where his regular voice just spikes up into this high-pitched extended warble, and he holds it for longer than if just speaking, more like singing the final words or syllables. i'm up the wall every time i hear it---like it's not bad enough just to have to hear him speak, now we get it with sound effects.

thanks for asking...i'm doing pretty good today just need to take it easy so am in bed on my laptop catching up on bb. had boycotted for a few days after friday's disappointing noms, just couldn't watch it for awhile. missed all of you too much and still got my fingers crossed for jason to somehow come to his senses or at least stop helping the enemy with his plotting...

nice to see your friendly name---hugs

I've noticed the increase of the squeaky voice also. I was thinking it was stress, he doesn't really have a connection with the remaining houseguests, maybe he's trying to fit in with their natural silliness.

The "voice" is just yet another thing to add to the very long list of things Roddy does that annoys me.

LOL! Wcv, thanks for the morning chuckle!

Actually when Roddy or Amy talk I turn down the sound unless they seem to be ploting then I turn it back up.

Lisa does it more than Roddy. Especially when she's talking to any one of the guys. It gets on my last nerve. And I'm glad she quit wearing that hair thingy on her wrist like a high school girl.

Be sure to listen for Lisa's mousey voice.

Winks to Guilty and Wcv...lots of MICE on the board this morning!

Hopefully I shall be able to listen for this strange new voice phenomenon on the feeds when the HGs manage to drag themselves from their beds.
I'm still mad that I didn't get to hear the Roddy/Jason convo!
Why bother staying up all night if you can't watch the feeds, I ask plaintively :-((((

I think Roddy spends most of his time in the house so stressed out and nervous that he is going to be "found out" by others. I always chalked the squeak up to nervousness and I also think he wants everyone to like him as well. He is forever going on about how he's the "nice" guy.

On another note, his whole demeanour and attitude makes me think he is older than 30 as stated...has there been any info as to whether this is his true age or a white lie on his part?

PS Lisa's little girl voice is even more annoying to me than the Roddysqueak, there I agreed for once and only once with Chiara

I've noticed the falsetto recently to. I don't remember it when Chiara was in the house--in fact his voice was deeper then, more resonant in my recollection. Hmmmmm......

Saggki, I always turn down the sound when it's Amy, Gerry, or Lisa. It goes up for Roddy, Dannie, and Marcel. Jason's voice is neutral to me so I don't move the dial when he's in the picture.

Hmmm...they all seem to be developing a second voice, don't they? Roddy, with his girly voice, and Marcellas with that creepy tone he's been using. I wonder if they are turning "Sybill" as a reaction to the close quarters?

wcv, you know that our rose coloured glasses turn a certain kind of brown at moments like this, don't you?
