Mrose4243 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 01:32 pm     He admitted on national television that he thinks by not nominating Roddy, he just handed him the game.... If he really believes this, shouldn't he now use the veto to take the game back? There's still time! He has been given a second chance...no other HOH got that....he can save the game for himself....unless, he wants Roddy to get the money! |
Woofy | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 02:41 pm     well then ... Roddy will have the money and Jason will have Jesus! |
Tripwaste | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 02:51 pm     Roddy is winning that money for all of us! That's just the kind of thoughtful guy Roddy is! |
What555456 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 02:55 pm     This from the Live Feeds yesterday afternoon: R: Just relax Jason. Sit back and let your self relax. J: OK R: That's it Jason. Now I am just going to talk and you listen. You know I trust you, Jason, don't you? And you know you can trust me, don't you? J: I guess so. R: Good. Then just relax. Let me light this candle. Now, focus your eyes on the candle. See how bright it is. Watch it flicker. Always the same. Always different. Take deep breaths and focus on the candle. That's right. Your eyes are getting heavier. You feel very sleepy. But you can't close them. Focus on the candle. Relax. Breath deeply. Thats right. Now you cannot keep your eyes open any longer. Let them close. When I count to 10, you will open your eyes and you will do anything I tell you. Do you understand Jason? J: Yeahhhhhh..... R: Good. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Open your eyes. Now, you will not nominate me and you will make sure I win the $500,000. J: Yes, Master. |
Cindyluvsroddy | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 02:56 pm     what is wrong with wanting to win the money? |
Muse | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 02:56 pm     Jason doesn't want Roddy to win the money, but he doesn't want to feel like he betrayed a friend, either. In his profile he even said that his weakness might be that he's "too nice", and that he'd have difficulty voting out a friend. I think Danielle and Jason would both benefit from Roddy going, but honestly...it seems too late now. Jason made his choice, and I think he'd look wishy washy to the others if he changed things (especially since he doesn't have a good reason to - Roddy has been pretty low-key the last few days). And he'd probably lose Roddy's vote by doing so...he might have gotten away with initially nominating Roddy (since I think Roddy respects those who play the game well, at least to a point), but I think it'd reflect poorly on him by doing it now. And by "betraying" Roddy like that, Jason might lose other votes (Chiara, Josh, Eric, etc) as well. I think Jason's best off getting rid of Gerry now, and hoping that either Marcellas, Amy, or Roddy go next week. |
Hillbilly | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 02:59 pm     ...what...yu's seems experienced at this here sorta thing... |
What555456 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:00 pm     Well, Jason is best off getting Roddy out now, but he won't do it. No guts. Not strong enough. Too scared to play the game to win. So, given what he himself has created and won't undo even though he can, it is probably best he get rid of Gerry. Not that Gerry is that big of a threat. But Jason simply is too weak to go after any real threats. So, he'll do an Amy and go after someone he has a grudge against. |
Seanflynn | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:03 pm     If Jason doesn't want/need the money, he should announce that if he wins it he will give it to charity. There is nothing wrong about wanting to win the money. Roddy acts like he is entitled to it (or more precisely to win the game; he never refers to the money), and that that is the natural order of things. Jason seems to be buying into that; kudos to Roddy for that achievement. But the idea that Roddy would have anything to do with Jason outside the house, that theirs is a great mutual friendship, is ridiculous, and I suspect Jason's family is out there dying a slow death watching him be fooled my the master manipulator. |
Beserkknight2 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:05 pm     Somebody tell me just how Roddy is going to win. He has no allies anymore. Everyone wants Danielle to win. How can she lose at this point, Roddy or not??? Who would even put her up? |
Jaysgal | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:06 pm     So? What if he's giving Roddy the money? Some people are here for the experience of the game because ultimately 10 people have to lose the game. Ironically, I do not believe that Roddy is crazy for the prize. I believe that what Roddy likes about the game is the thrill of it. He likes to ride on a rollercoaster. I could even see him give one-half or all of the money to a house guest or distribute it. He's not a materialistic person, at least I don't think so. What he loves is to take people on a ride and walk his way to a winner position. But what if he got the money? The winners aren't always popular. |
Goddessatlaw | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:09 pm     ROTFLMAO, Woofy. And Seanflynn, I couldn't agree more. Ditto. |
Theo17 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:11 pm     well if roddy isnt a hypocrite it should be him pushing jason to win the money. roddy says the "good people" should win. So who is a better person roddy or jason? |
Wendo | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:13 pm     "Some people are here for the experience of the game because ultimately 10 people have to lose the game." It's not summer camp, it's a game for half a million dollars. |
Mystery | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:14 pm     The fact that 10 of the 12 won't end up with any money doesn't mean they're "there" for the experience, does it? It just means that the experience is all they'll end up with! |
Richardfan | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:16 pm     Hmmmm, I tend to think that what Jason meant when he said he'd "handed him the game" is that he believes he can't win a final vote against Roddy. Despite many posters on this this board, I think the HGs really like Roddy. It's kinda like a Richard Hatch/Survivor syndrome. He (Hatch) looked like the biggest jerk to me and I thought "How could vote they for him and give him the million bucks?". I'm sure I was not alone in this view. Jason fully expects to be one of the F2. So, if everyone likes Roddy, and everyone likes Jason, in Js mind who would win? He's thinking Roddy, hence, "handed him the game". |
Mystery | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:20 pm     But if Jason thinks he can't win against Roddy in the final 2, why wouldn't he be doing everything he could to keep Roddy OUT of the final 2? It's a puzzlement! |
Richardfan | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:22 pm     Friendship and loyalty as pointed out by many posters here would be my best guess. IMO |
Danielle | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:23 pm     I think Jason will regret not nominating Roddy.. it's a game he came in the house to play! These people were not his friends!!! He's gotta be selfish to get what he wants .. Jason is too much of a softy!!! that's a fault in the game .. you gotta do nasty things to go all the way... Roddy would still be his friend on this outside and the other thing is that I'm sure enventually Roddy would kick him out! Roddy made him feel like shit that day in the HOH room he was talking down to him and manipulating Jason so bad .. too bad Jason fell for it! |
Cindyluvsroddy | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:23 pm     i think jason would win against Roddy in the end ... |
Theo17 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:24 pm     richard misguided friendship and loyalty since roddy has pushed the last 2 hohs to nominate jason |
Mystery | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:25 pm     It just seems strange to me that someone who would place a high enough premium on friendship and loyalty to "give away the game" for them, would then regret doing so. I can understand maybe a passing regret for the loss of the money, but not that flood of tears in the DR. I'm completely baffled. |
Theo17 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:26 pm     I really dont think jason did it out of friendship or any promise. I havent seen jason in one single confrontation. I think he is a great guy and a great kid but scared of his own shadow. He nominated the only 2 people who wouldnt get mad at him |
Hosewater | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:32 pm     Why is Jason so loyal to an avowed atheist and porn fan? Did Jason's parents not teach him to pick better friends?
|
Richardfan | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 03:32 pm     Mystery: It would seem strange to me too! But I think J has been wrestling with this (game/friendship thing) in his head the entire game and not just with Roddy. Plus, I ALWAYS regret decisions after I make 'em, lol. |
