Roddy made his bed as soon as he started sharing one with Chiara. This game is no place to try to pursue a romance, period. It is too much of a liability. Flirt, have fun but once he crawls in her bed there's no gettin out till one of them gets evicted. He should have realized that regardless the amount of his infatuation. There's no graceful way out of it, especially if you're a guy who cares more about being perceived as nice than actually being it.

Twiggy, was it the one when he was pointing out his control issues? there was no question that he encouraged Chiara's fantasies. As she was getting dumped, Chiara was insinuating about getting the taped shows from her friend and that she'll tape the rest of the shows so she and Roddy could watch it together and Roddy just switched the topic to some nonsense. He was also subtly pointing out to Chiara that he loves to travel and she doesn't. He doesn't seem animated in his convos with Chiara anymore and his body language is consistent. She should have picked up on these signs and saved a shred of dignity by dumping him first.

Yes, that's the conversation.
I don't think Chiara is that perceptive and it may have more to do with maturity. Who knows?

When they first went in the house I think that Roddy heard Chiara say she was cast as the "girl next door". I think he aligned himself with her to look good to the viewing audience,etc. Then it didn't take too long for that theory to be blown out of the water and he has probably been kicking himself in the butt ever since.

I do feel alittle bit sorry for Chiara. I think she is going to have a rough time of it when she gets out and realizes what kind of an impression she has made on the public.

This is just my opinion but you don't have to listen to me cause i'm totally whacked out! :)

I can't wait until he spends his 'last' night in the BB3 house sleeping in HoH with Amy! You think Chiara will get the hint then? Of course Marcellas wouldn't mind, either, as long as he gets to stay too! :O

JMO - FWIW

Hmmm, Roddy is a really bad guy for manipulating her, yeah ok whatever.

Seems to me though that she's the one that has pushed him away, she put him on the block, forced him to change the way he plays the game because of her jealouy over Amy, made it clear the she expects to be 'kept', the list goes on and on.

He may well have found her attractive to begin with, but her behaviour and the more he/we learn about her the bigger a turn off the girl is. IMHO

This afternoon some of you were "Chiara bashing" with glee. Now, it's "poor Chiara", the victim. Why the switch? Because RODDY is involved.
I suspect that if it was Lisa telling Chiara that
she is not her friend, that would be just fine with you. It IS all about gender with some of you, and a man can do nothing right in your mind.

I think Roddy is doing this now intentionally...to make sure she has the complete breakdown that he wants her to have. Then the other houseguests will vote her out for her own good. It is all part of the master plan.

Rig, is that all men can do nothing right in our minds or just one man? I have one who can do right things.

I dislike Chiara intensely, but when I saw her speech to Lisa the other day, about having won even if not getting the money, because she got to meet a guy like Roddy, I began to feel a little sorry for her.
When she said that as soon as she saw him, and she 'was like-Game? What game?' [her words] I felt really sorry for her, because she was totally oblivious to the fact that Roddy didn't share her feelings.
The irony for me is that she thinks Amy is self-centred - the girl is not only oblivious to Roddy's true feelings, but also oblivious to the fact that she herself is the epitome of the me! me! me! syndrome.
I'm more than willing to criticise the players in this game, for their strategy, and yes, for their personal failings, but I can't celebrate her total humiliation on national television, even if it's a case of poetic justice, because that's exactly what she orchestrated against Amy.
What I'm actually celebrating in this instance is the fact that Roddy had to finally out himself and show himself to be the cad-and on national television! And I sincerely hope it does bite him in his nether regions when it comes down to the finish line!

OK, I'll amend my comment to say "most men..." But I've run into plenty of women who say "all men"

We have to remember that Roddy's friends said that Chiari is the type of girl Roddy goes for...
I got the impression that he has a history of dating "wild" women. The differance being Chiari is a "wild" but clingy woman. I think he likes the "wild" women who are a challenge. And he realized awhile back that she was no challenge.

I am having a hard time getting my point across...
If we all were in a room talking face to face I might could do better...lol

Sassy I don't think Roddy thinks he can relate to her intellectually either. He seems to get really frustrated with having to explain things to her. Plus there's a difference in liking wild women and then having the possibility of your parents watching your lastest wild fling go on about threesomes and such. LOL.

I just cant believe she said she wont date a poor guy to dani. I'm finding it hard to find one redeeming quality about her lately.

Well she just said twice to Roddy that she can't even get him to kiss her. I'm not sure why she said that but it's pretty indicative about what is going on with their relationship. She's an idiot if she doesn't see it.

I think in the real world Roddy is the kind of guy who would just quit calling Chiara, and avoid her phone calls. Hard for him to do in that house, lol...

If Roddy is 'breaking up with her' he is doing a really lousy unclear job of it. Don't string her along. It's not nice Roddy.

well if roddy wasnt dumping her before now he has the reason. he is a struggling writer and she just told dani right in front of him she wouldnt date a poor guy. She just gave him the perfect excuse to walk away

I'm sorry, but Roddy has been using Chiara since the beginning. There's no question about it. A week ago, she wins HOH and the first night they're in there he says, "Honey, I'm so glad you won, it's great being in here." Throughout that week, he was in bed with her, spooning her, kissing her under the covers. And now, after THREE DAYS he realizes, Oh, I'm sorry, I want to dump you now. How convenient that he has this epiphany while they're both in jeapordy of being booted.

Hogwash. What Roddy is doing now is, in his words, SCUMBAGGERY. It's disgusting, shallow, cruel, and out and out deplorable. I have no respect for him whatsoever. Any thought of admiring for his game playing went out the window for me. You do not destroy a human being, even if you've got a half million dollars waiting at the end.

Roddy, you are a <>, and if I ever met you on the street, I would tell you so.

She seems to be taking it well though . Wonder if she'll consult Dani over this latest dump?

It seems she is too dumb to realize it fully since she keeps trying to get him to kiss her

LOL, I can relate Sassy, that happens to me a lot but you have a point in that Roddy likes wild women who are challenging(ironically, those are the types that won't put up with him). Chiara didn't meet his expectations and Roddy doesn't want to limit himself to anyone who can't keep his interest. He figured this out during the first couple of weeks because he made a statement in the diary room about laying low for the first 2 weeks to try to get a feel on the other HGs, but did he stop right there? Nope. Although it was obvious that he didn't actively flaunt their relationship, he never really disputed or discouraged Chiara's tightening grip on him either. Josh and Chiara fell for him and Roddy's character assasination of his allies is just the beginning of a series of an ugly, ugly trail IF he gets to stay longer in the house.

These two have never gotten along! Had they met in the outside world after a few dates one or both would have simply stopped calling the other and the other..wouldn't have cared. But in that house once they got invovled well they were (are) pretty much stuck together till one of them gets evicted.

I think Chaira likes the guy - but I have no doubts he can bearly tolerate her.
