We base our opinions on a "feeling"???

If u just don't like the guy and want him to lose, just say it ... instead of making up all these excuses that justify your hating him..lol

just say: "im a Roddy hater!!!!" and get it over with .... no need to explain why .. lol

I don't hate Roddy. Hate is an extremely strong emotion. (ok, but I do hate peas)

I don't want Roddy to win because I don't like his particular game tactics. If those tactics get him the big check, then bravo, his game plan worked.

Somehow he manages to get people he himself has plotted against to apologize to him, and promise to never nominate him. How he accomplishes this is beyond me, but it appears to be working thus far. For that ability alone, I give him props.

There, I've said something positive about Roddy.

When I play poker I am not pretending to be your friend and then stab you behind your back. I don't build you up, only to be torn down later (when they leave and see he really didn't care about them) Although I have been guilty of comparing this game to others, it is incorrect to do so. This game is also about human emotions and feelings. For any compassionate human being, human emotions most be taken into account with this game. You just don't shake hands and walk away like a chess game. This will have lasting affects.

Yes, they should play. Play hard. But never at the expense or hurting others. Do we teach our children to laugh at the team that looses? No. Do we teach our children to win at all costs and to disregard anyones feelings? Unfortunately some parents do. Games are meant to be fun. Those that relish in causing pain (Roddy is not one of these people, I'm generalizing here), are disturbed individuals. I don't think Roddy is evil or the devil. I think he a pretty decent fellow. I just don't think he knows how much he can hurt those with his fake (IMO) compassion.

Again, we can play hard and we can play to win, but not at "any" cost.

If a HG is so emotionally hurt because another HG lied to them .. maybe they shouldn't be playing the game???

And boy oh boy!!! Do u ever put a nasty spin on Roddy ... he isnt really the devil u know ... lol

Just trying to distance myself from those who say he is. Just trying (miserable) to clarify myself.

Roddy is not worth hating. He is just a guy that played BB and failed to fool anyone. The players know what he is doing, the viewers know, and most of all, he won't be winning $500,000. He is a guy on death row awaiting his final meal. The only problem is that the kitchen keeps burning the food and he has to continue to sit and get hungrier and hungrier. Fill his tummy and get him out. Or maybe it is more fun having him spin around on the wheel in his cell and stay up all night trying to beg for his life. You choose. The quality of his life will suck either way because he ain't gettin' the cash. No chance.

Cindy it's too bad you're done with this thread because Romans had a very good point about fake compassion.

You said there is no way to tell if it is real or fake. Actually, there is. Roddy said so.

He buddied up with Josh and made him think that he was making a lifelong friend. He worked on Josh's weaknesses until Josh truly believed that Roddy was a real buddy. When Josh left, Roddy's remark was that he only wished that all the houseguests were like Josh because he was easy to read and manipulate.

That is fake compassion. And that is but one example Cindy.

Woodpecker....I'm almost starting to believe you.

WCV63, I am trying to make my posts direct and positive, while at the same time attempt to make them sexy and alluring. How am I doing?

Monday, August 26, 2002 - 03:20 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I think you've got the direct....mostly positive....alluring definitely...if there is one area lacking it's the sexy part.

Nothing too sexy about death row.

right, wcv. roddy didn't maintain it with josh, and he will catch on. the others?

The night before Roddy is evicted, they should have Chiara take her top off and press her breasts against the kitchen window as an incentive for Roddy to look at the loss of half a million as a bump in the road. His eventual 40 year coupling with Chiara should be the one thing he looks forward to more than money on a silly game show. I love a happy ending.

Woodpecker what you just said would give Roddy nightmares and he'd never be able to get it up again in his lifetime. So IMO you didn't succeed on the sexy part.

Snee...I think they'll catch on but whether it will be during the game or not is hard to say. They need to shrug off that mantle of obligation that Roddy has saddled them with. It is clouding their judgement.

They have all been on the receiving end of Roddy's fake compassion...some moreso than others. Hopefully Chiara will see that Roddy was more interested in the game and game alliances than personal alliances. Although I didn't much care for her she shouldn't be treated like a cast off.

If you want to know why I dislike Roddy listen to him working Lisa right now. I have spoken before about how I feel about using tactics of psychological manipulation of this kind. It sickens me.

Woodpecke®

Monday, August 26, 2002 - 03:48 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
What is psychological manipulation? How do we know when it is happening? Is it terminal? Can I catch it from the live feeds? Can it cause vomiting and weight loss? Is there any hope for Lisa? Or will it be cured by the end of September? I am getting scared.

I don't know Wood, will you know when it is happening? Lisa does. So does Dani. Jason did, then didn't. Tune in next time!

Sounds like I've been hypnotized myself! LOL. Don't know how that happened.

I know I get entirely too upset when I hear Roddy playing the game in his way. I need to get a life but I am bedridden and here I am with you all and those hamsters!

Hey Meggie! I hope you're feeling better. I saw on your profile where you're from so I'm sure you'll understand when I say I'm pronouncing "Rodi" as "Lodi" in my head. :)

o.k. this is what I don't get...why is there a "We love Roddy" thread that Roddy lovers can go to for their fix, yet, we can't just have a good ole honest response to the title of this thread without Roddy Lovers coming in and getting all aggravated with the posts explaining what the rest of us don't like about Roddy. (this is not meant in any ill intentioned way toward any posters defending Roddy...just wondering...??)

hmm, maybe I will go and start a thread called Why do you hate Gerry or Danni so much..........Wonder how long that would last.

Its all about keeping a balance. Some HGs are hated a lot more than others so it is fun to go and debate in their favor.

We could combine this with the Jason/Gerry/mushroom thread and say that we're jealous of his morels...

Debating is one thing ...calling people haters is another. Not that it bothers me. I'm immune to that phrase now. As a matter of fact it makes me kind of proud to have attained that title. :O

Roddy is doing everything he possibly can do to stay in this competition. He stays up all night being friends with people that can keep him in the game. He is trying very hard to erase his ridiculous efforts in HOH and POV competitions. He is lying and conniving better than even the most alert of all posters could have imagined. In my opinion, anything that Roddy has said to other guests to further his cause is PART OF THE GAME. To hate him would be silly. It reminds me of people that see soap stars at the grocery store and say to them...."I hate your guts." Roddy is playing a character, and it is up to us to decide whether he deserves the money for his efforts. I say he shouldn't get away with it, and I am sure he won't. Throw the deep psychological theories and hatred concerning Roddy out the window. He had a strategy that backfired and he is trying to save himself. It can't be done, but I admire what he is trying to do. Losing without a fight would be foolish.

LOL Woodpecker....in the tenacious department I think you and I are neck and neck. I hope one of our theories comes to fruition.

In answer to the question posed by the heading of this thread...because Roddy makes my hackles rise, my hair curl, stimulates my fight or flight reflex, and his voice gives me nasty goosebumps - in short - my instincts.
