And are we all fools here? I think I'm one, LOL! BTW, which author said that?! It sounds like something Oscar Wilde, W.C. Fields or Mark Twain would say.

I did a search for the quote. One site said it was an old chinese proverb. I got a different wording on another site and I kinda like it actually. :)

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, I pull you down by the shoulders and knee you in the balls.

Here are two more I found to be apropos!

If a million people believe a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing." Anatole France


In view of the fact that God limited the intelligence of man, it seems unfair that He did not also limit his stupidity.--Konrad Adenauer

Ooh, let me play the appropriate quotes game! I've had this one rolling around in my head the past few days, regarding the Roddy/Chiara/Amy situation:

The funeral baked meats
Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.

Hamlet, Act 1. I looked it up this time, honest. It means that Chiara's place in bed is barely cold and already Roddy is plotting to put Amy in her spot (or was that obvious?)

LOL! I like the fool me thrice one! Maybe that's what Chiara needs to try! (That was a joke, folks. I am not condoning violence in the house. Repeat. I am not condoning violence in the house.)

Also the other two make you think. I love stuff like that. Deep thoughts...

Well, it's been fun, but I need a break before I go crosseyed. Later!

Little late coming in so I just read the thread. Delilah. You said something about Roddy being deep and profound. Surely you jest. Roddy is just as shallow as the rest of the hgs. He is just better at hiding it.

Chiara is, indeed, still young. But I would be pretty shocked to see even a 16 year old girl want to call a group of near strangers in to see her poopie or any of her other outrageously lewd and crude antics, much less a 25 year old. If Roddy was not embarrassed by her, I would think less of him. Roddy has never encouraged Chiara in these exhibitions and has often shown her that he is angry about them.

Roddy has said things to Chiara to indicate that he is not interested in a relationship with her but she has not wanted to accept this. After Roddy says something that he seems to think might be hurtful, he tries to smooth over her feelings.

Roddy seems like the type of man who chooses friends based on similar interests (intellect), likes to spend a lot of time debating philosophies and issues, traveling, etc. He has said that he has never cheated and does not respect cheaters, he has not used drugs, he participates in children's sports, etc. He has treated everyone kindly and they have all fallenin love with him. In the context of the game, he has obviously gotten a target on his back because of these attributes. That's fine - that is the game.

As far his him and Chiara, he can't resort to "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" because "hop on a bus, Gus," etc. just isn't feasible. IMO, he has tried very hard to turn her away and has had to get tougher and tougher.

Maybe not jumping in the sac with her everynight would be a place for him to start

I've been thinking about Chiara and reading all of the posts about her. While I am definitely not (and never have been) a Chiara fan...I am trying to cut her some slack. Everytime she starts doing something really immature, crass, gross, or foolish - which is constantly - I say this to myself:

She may be physically 25 years old - but the child still sleeps with a "woobie"...:(

Luckily it seems that Roddy will have a chance to rejoin the Upright Citizen's Brigade in a couple of days.

I have two sons and a daughter, all of whom I have raised by myself.

Since watching BB3, I have thanked God that my daughter did not turn out anything like Chiara.

Watching the LFs, I do not think of her in the sense of a child who sleeps with a woobie but more in the sense of an animal in heat that cannot attract the type of attention she is after. Chiara is not defenseless and is quite aggressive about what she wants.

I truly believe that Roddy is not sleeping with Chiara in a romantic way but more in a friendly way (e.g., Amy & Marc).

I also thank God for my daughters-in-law, neither of whom is any older than Chiara but both of whom are beautiful, loving young women.

Recall some of the things she has done in the few short weeks since going in the BB house (with all of America and beyond watching!). I do not know anyone, young or old, who would do that! You can't use terms like "unladylike" when talking about the things she does. It goes so far beyond that. She has been utterly gross, nasty, lewd, lascivious, on, and on. Chiara is disgraceful example of womanhood/childhood/humanhood and Roddy should not be condemned for not wanting to be "hooked up" with her.

Texas -- gotta agree with you there. I feel sorry for someone so clueless. I hope one day she matures and realizes how dispicable she was and it'll be too late to change it. I don't think Chiara's antics would be funny even to 15 year olds... including ones who got into their parent's liquor cabinet. Chiara is a mess, and it will cost her half-a-mil.

I'm not condemning him for not wanting to be hooked up with Chiara. I'm condemning him for the way he has built her up, torn her down, built her up...led her on...torn her down again and then made indirect comments about what she has done to embarrass him. Then I see him get in bed and curve his body over hers and tell her she has a great body.

I don't like Chiara. I don't like the way she acts, talks or comports herself. Nevertheless she is a human being and Roddy is being callous, manipulative and controlling.

Don't like the man. Don't like the way he tries to crawl into the hgs minds and reinvent them. Don't like the way he says he needs to totally "possess" his women. He's a soul stealer and someone who would tear someone down until they were a mere shell of their former self.

Perhaps after watching him for weeks and hearing his views on women and relationships I dislike him so much that I am totally biased against every single thing about him.

Texastillie, I agree with every word you said. Great post!

I don't care for Roddy either. But he and Chiara are distasteful to me for different reasons -- they don't make a good couple -- have nothing in common. And I don't want to meet the person who is the second-half of either one of them either.
Btw, thought it was funny Roddy talking early in game how these people are all into shallow things (television, movie stars, bands) and how he was too smart and educated to relate to them. But tonight he was as big a fan as any of the other HGs. :-)

It's also very odd that someone who is a screenwriter is so contemptuous of pop culture.

Wcv --- maybe he writes period pieces -- gothic romances. lol
enjoying how much Roddy would HATE my comment

Wcv63, ditto as well. Check out the quead cam and, what do we see, Roddy spooning Chiara. Yeah, he's letting her down so nicely. /sarcasm

Another poster wrote, "I think Roddy wants a woman who IS strong and independent..who can challenge his mind and not be someone who he can control."

!!!!!!!!
What part of Roddy's preference in females did you not get?

He said he is very possessive and he thinks that's the highest form of caring is to possess someone.

Roddy says that if they date outside of the house that he would be a control freak, even to the point of checking her bills and checkbook. That she will have a pager only for him and that when he pages her, she's got 4 minutes to call him.

That he will demand her to do certain things, wear what he wants her to wear, his ordering in a restaurant what she eats...

-------------

Roddy does NOT want what you wish he'd want. He wants submission to his control. Period.

LOL! Romance novels. Set in the wilds of Alaska perhaps?

Poor Roddy. He's been forced into this "relationship" by Tonya (she's been gone HOW LONG now?), and hasn't found a way to extricate himself from Chiara's bed yet. Poor Roddy.
