Re: the picture Chiara gave Roddy
Sobaditsgood | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 03:27 pm     How does that work when one of the HG's wants to give one of the others a picture? I seem to remember it happening before and of course BB has to be providing the pictures... so my question is, how is it done - would it be like, Chiara says in the DR "I want to give Roddy a picture of us together as my going away present to him" and then BB uses their own discretion in choosing a screen cap (it wouldn't be a screen cap, but you know what I mean) made into a picture? If so, do they do several and let the HG choose which pic they want to give as a gift or are they presented with only one and have no choice? Maybe it seems like an obscure question but I am curious because after seeing the picture on the tv show (I don't have live feeds) and Roddy saying first thing 'I look like the fattest man in the world, I have a double chin' --- I had to agree, it's a horrible picture. Why would BB pick *this* to frame when they have a gazillion opportunities for really good shots of just about all the HG's, especially ones that spent as much time together as Chiara and Roddy? It almost seems to me like BB PURPOSELY chose an awful picture for some reason, maybe some staff person who dislikes Roddy, Chiara or both thought it would be a funny inside joke or something? I dunno, it just seems interesting to me. There must have been any number of much, much better shots of the two of them and the picture really was pretty heinous, I thought. |
Goddess146 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 03:34 pm     If I were one of those producers I would choose an unflattering capture for Chiara to give to Roddy. The producers probably have the same opinon of Roddy as most of us do. They have seen all we have seen plus more. |
Mr_Bozack | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 03:45 pm     In spite of my all of my cheering of my hero, Roddy, on these boards, I thought Roddy handled the photo situation poorly. No matter how badly Roddy thought the photo was of him, it's the thought that counts, and the fact that his sweetheart Chiara gave him a gift is reward enough. He's obviously very image concious, a victim of society's imposed beauty-myth, which is a shame. He kind of ruined that potentially tender moment. I expected so much more from you Roddy. I now see an imperfection in you. But you're entitled. I haven't always been the best boyfriend at times in my own relationships, and we're all entitled to screw up every so often. You're human afterall. |
Goddessatlaw | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 03:47 pm     I'll bet it was a great picture of Chiara, and that's why she picked it from the options. Another minor chick trick. Who cares how he looks, as long as I look awesome. |
What555456 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 03:50 pm     Or, maybe she asked for a pic showing Roddy's big double chin! <g> |
Goddessatlaw | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 03:52 pm     I wish, What. A little passive aggressive slam for Roddy. |
Mystari | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 07:14 pm     I thought it was a little tacky for her to ask for a picture of them in the hammock - same pose that Lisa asked for Eric. Surely she could come up with SOMETHING a little more original. Just sounded to me like she was trying to copycat Lisa and Eric's closeness - maybe a little jealousy - I don't know. It definitely didn't seems to be as touching of a gift the second time around. (Not to mention the fact that niether of them seemed to like thier gifts.) |
Maris | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 07:19 pm     Myst, what should she have asked for a picture of her grooming Roddy's ears?????????????? |
Mystari | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 07:33 pm     well.......it does so a bit of devotion to the presentation of her man but EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I was thinking more along the lines of a picture of them snuggling in the HOH bed, or sharing a hug somewhere else in the house if it absolutely HAD to be a picture. I kinda liked the thought behind the book Roddy gave her - it was something that was important to him and showed some thought into the gift - even though she didn't care for it. I just wonder exactly what she was hoping for. |
Maris | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 07:40 pm     I am betting she wasnt looking for a book by Carl Sagan. I think if he had just written her a nice letter or shared anything of himself personally that she would have been happy. I am guessing she probably told BB she wanted a picture and they came up with the hammock one due to their lack of imagination. |
Uhoh | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 07:47 pm     i didn't think roddy's gift was thoughtful at all, in that it wasn't considering her. it's another example of roddy not accepting her for who she is. chiara obviously isn't well-read, and her interests run along the lines of the mystical (tarot cards, et al) which is anathema to him. so what does he give her? carl sagan! personally, i think tarot cards are silly, john edwards is a charlatan, and grew up infatuated w/ carl sagan (met him many years ago at cornell.) i would've loved roddy's gift, but for chiara found it as appropriate as if my husband gave me drill bits for christmas. |
Drpepper | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 07:47 pm     They had, beforehand, spoke of parting gifts. Chiara stated she didn't want a book. He did it IMO, for spite. |
Theo17 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 08:09 pm     myst the problem was kiki gave roddy a gift to stimulate his heart and roddy gave her a gift to stimulate her brain. The main problem is that neither of these organs have been shown to exist |
