Lola, I laughed when I read about his movie from your link. Here's the best part:

"Brothers Tony and Michael are at the center of WHEN IT'S OVER, and their common genetic trait seems to be the ability to manipulate any situation -- be it deadly or merely uncomfortable -- into an unapoligetic win."

Manipulate any situation??? No wonder he's so good at this game!! This is childs play to him!! lol

I don't think that film "When Its Over" is Roddy's film. He said he had written the screenplay and gotten the financing. He said that he would be filming when he got out of the house. That film is 4 years old already I don't think it is the right Richard Mancuso or it is a different future film he has been talking about. But I also thought he was working on his first film.

Maybe Roddy is the "old Canadian hocky player". How old was that guy. LOL

Whether it be lack of sleep or sheer relief at not being nominated this week, Roddy is definitley giddy and relaxed. What I don't get is all the comments like, "That's the old Jason" and "That's the old Amy" ..... what is he talking about? I've heard him say this over and over the past few days.

scotia you have to know the roddy dictionary.

Old Amy means one he booted to help her grow as a person.

New Amy is the one that saved his butt last week.

Old Jason is the one that roddy tried to have nominated the last 2 weeks.

New Jason is the one that kisses his butt and follows him like a puppy.

Flores, maybe Roddy lies to the other HG's because he doesn't want them to know 1) he's that successful or 2) that he's so creative he could concoct a story so good that there's now a film based on that story. I'd be verrrry wary of someone who can make up stories with such skill if I was a fellow HG. In fact, it's intimidating, no?

The Hockey player was playing pro I think in 1976. That would make Roddy, if he was 18 years old (minimum?) in 1976, 45 years old now. Hmm. If it's him, he does a good job of covering his "accent" :)

Maybe it's not him, but I'd bet it is since they note it's Mancuso's first screenplay. If he graduated college in 1991-2 then it seems to make sense that it would take him 6 years to get a script to the "bigtime."

I personally like the outer space name thing most of all though :p C'mon there's got to be a few good jokes about that, eh? hehe

Oh, oh and Shadowkat! Yea, he did even say something like that along the lines of this was too easy for him, didn't he?

Roddy prides himself on controling people and their minds and how they feel about themselves.

Roddy is just leaving everything alone this week as most of his work is done.

He is at his best with weak people that have little confidence with themselves.

Whoever wins HOH will put him right back into the game.

Zenya knucklehead is actually a compliment from roddy in a playful way and I have no problem with it.

Scumbaggery is anyone that thinks they should try to win the game for themselves and not let roddy win it even though roddy is the "good people" and he deserves it most.

Has he called Chiara or anyone else a knucklehead before? The first time I heard this was on the live show and thought it was a little odd, but surely meant in an endearing way.

Maybe Roddy isnt "dumming himself down" maybe kiki is channeling thru him via tarot cards and voodoo dolls.

Zeyna - Everytime Roddy calls someone knucklehead it makes me think of `Leave it to Beaver'. LOL
It sounds like something Wally would call Beaver.

Yep except Roddy aint Walley. Roddy is Eddie Haskell.

dogdoc, Roddy slept with Marcellas last night.

Dogdoc--Roddy's in bed with Marcellas in the HRD. Apparently Jason fell asleep in his old bed by the door so Marc slept in Chiara's old spot. AS soon as they jumped out of bed a few minutes ago, Marcellas stripped the bed to make it...

Reading the LFP, apparently Amy propped herself up in that double bed late last night and when Roddy went to the WC, Marc told her to go to her own bed 'cuz he was sleeping here. [I'm sure it wasn't as funny as my imagination!]

I have heard the term "knucklehead" used mainly to describe an obstinate horse, one who wouldn't do what you tell it. I'm not sure what the heck Roddy means.

Thanks Marcieb.Boy this sleeping together stuff is getting confusing.. Isn't there something that makes " strange bedfellows"?
