I noticed a change in Roddy today. He's acting goofy & silly... not at all Roddy-like.

Has he dumbed himself down because he's heard that the other HG fear him because of his intelligence?

It's possible he's thinking it's all in the bag.

He's running scared and he's hyper over the possibility of getting nominated again. He has gone into "friend to all" overdrive and is trying to pull off a mass mind meld by showing his fun and lighthearted side.

gerry told him he is a target because they all think he is the smartest. Roddy would do anything to win in my opinion. I do not put anything past him.

So he's either overconfident or paranoid... thanks for clearing that up :)

Basically, Roddy stayed up ALL night "working" Jason....so he was in BIG-TIME sleep deprivation, which made him into Pee-Wee herman on pure grain sugar, (Plus he was so worked up over whether Jason would veto Gerry and put him up)....

I still think he was planted in the house and is working like a Mole. Would make things interesting for sure!

Don't kid yourselves, Roddy is not dumbing down unless its a strategic move.

DISCLAIMER: the following is to be taken with a grain of salt.

yeah, the plan is he wins the money and surprises everyone when they vote him the winner by saying:

"thank you each and every one of you. you know that i have been talking about my secret throughout this ordeal and now it is time to tell it to you. for this great honor of allowing me to hang out with you this summer, i will split the check 12 ways, because HGs this was the best experience of my life."

Perhaps Roddy has just run out of facts and words with which to astound and confuse the houseguests and viewers. His store of knowledge has been depleted and he's got nothing left to give.

Let's see. He has lost Josh, Chiara and Eric. He hasn't won an HOH since week one. He got involved in a relationship with a woman whom he had little or no interest. He is condescending, patronizing, and smarmy. He is an expert at being dumb so far. Why change now?

Sunrise, I would not be surprised at all. As I said, my gut instinct tells me that Roddy is not a materialistic person. I am almost willing to bet that if he came first place, he would share his money with at least one person.

He's not materialistic, in my view. I think what he wants from this show is the fame and the thrill of the show. He wants to give people a ride to get to the top.

The problem for Roddy right now is his best bud(eric) and gal(chiara) is gone. He is frantically trying to fit in and work his agenda.

Roddy with all his so called intellect can't read the remaining hg's as much as he would like. So, now he uses his high pitched voice to be funny. lol. When he corners a hg that dosen't agree with him he says, "I understand" with a ton of superiority.

Bottom line is without Eric, Josh, and Kiki he is a fish out of the water. His oxygen deprived gills are showing. He's suffocating cuz everyone is stepping on his breathing apparatus.

He tried to play Lisa earlier today and she would have no part of it. I can't wait for the day to flush this fish!

i have to disagree with the significance that is placed on alliances. for example: will won not because of his alliances. he placed himself into a group of people that were his nitch. yet, he constantly separated himself from them as each one got voted off.

this game is about psychology. an alliance here makes you weak, because the others will fear you. fear is something all want to avoid, so you don't want to create fear. you want to create soothing relaxed vibes.

you have to stay with your group, but interact with the whole. you insulate yourself with your click, but stay involved with the other people. for appearance sake the group alliance is needed. this gives the whole a person to vote out each week. but, the individual interaction with the outside group keeps you safe at all times. this is how you become one of the last two standing.

Lisa is going to be a perfect example of this for BB3, but purely by accident. I think she’s gonna take it. Well, I’m hoping that she gets some of it. With that money, she can relax and take photos and I can buy her book in a few years. many artists have started this way by winning money from somewhere that gave them the time to devote their energy and time on their craft. sorry I’ll save this for another thread.

as each of roddy's pals got voted off, the stronger he gets. adjust and focus... this is his game. adjust and focus on the whole group. he's not dumbing himself down. he is considering Gerry being gone. if Gerry is gone, his intellectual hoop-la is an easy target because it sticks out like a sore thumb.

he has to adjust and focus on the remaining players. he needs to play quiet and demure and begin discussing the bible that he has been reading with jason. he needs to start telling stupid jokes that the others can participate in. he needs to make funny noises and YES play dumb.

but, is this dumb?

btw: i am not a roddy fan. and, sunrise, i'll get you for using my keyboard to type that message.

amendment to above post: when i say allainces i am referring to long-term allainces. of course you have to have deals. but, not the kind that are open and in your face like chill town were or the couples were. this is the type i am referring to when i say allainces.

Well, I like to see that Roddy on tv... it would be a nice change from the "too self confident" Roddy we keep seeing.
But I understand why he's allowing to let go of his "know it all" stance, he doesn't have nothing to lose for now. Jason loves him, Marcellas loves him, Amy loves him, Gerry would make a deal with the devil if given a chance, Lisa is okay for him, and Dani owes him a big one. Why not act dumb now and rest his brain for a while? He may never get another chance...

I agree with Reno Gal, this guy is a plant for sure.

He talks about his script as if it wasn't even optioned yet. Not true. Check out the following websites. This guy has been to Cannes, the Chicago Alternative film festival and the Austin on as well. He's no joke and he's certainly not a real contestant when compared with the other folks in the house.


The name of his film is "When It's Over" and the rights to the film are for sale. That's right, the film is already made. In fact, it won a few awards.

Not to mention that Roddy is also about to be sent into outer space!

I almost forgot...Richard Mancuso is Roddy's birth name. There's only 3 on the internet right now. One is a physics professor at SUNY Brockport. One is an OLD Canadian Hockey player. And then, there's your friend and mine, Roddy :)

Thanks, Lola, for finding that. Now we know that Roddy's a director, too. I wonder if he's using his knowledge of staging and scene set-up daily on BB3? Does he always sit in a certain place, keep to well-lit areas, ensure the action level peaks? This adds an entirely new dimension to watching him.
