Carolm | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 12:40 pm     I think Roddy knows he is going and who else can he take out his bitterness on? Last Night How many times did he say he feels LIKE A LOSER? I hope he doesnt start Kissing and sleeping with Amy as we might see Chiara flip.. I don't like Chiara but I'm Hoping Next week we see a different side of her. RODDY is a LOSER!!!! A few days ago he told Chiara that he doesnt want her hanging around waiting as he needs to spend time with his parents. He used a nicer tone of voice that day. A month ago he said to someone that Chiara was not someone you take home to meet parents.( Which she isnt) My opinon. Yesterday his gut was saying your out Thursday and that is why he said all those cruel things. I Hope Chiara can find a good shrink and start to respect herself.... |
Karuuna | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 12:42 pm     Why is my head spinning? I think Roddy has some controlling/crazy-making aspects to his character. But so does Chiara. Like both of their sets of friends/family seem to see from teh outside looking in - it's a match that brings out the worst in both of them. |
Delilah | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 12:44 pm     I respectfully disagree with you Carol. I think Roddy was dropping hints so that Chiara would take the bait. She is the one who latched on to him, starting talking marriage, babies, waiting for him in LA yada yada. She is NOT his type, he knows it, he didn't lead her on, she ignored the signs, not his fault. Is it his fault that she is so naive? He did everything but come right out and say "Look, Chia, I am NOT interested!" He was subtle and she just doesn't get it. Blech. |
Minnyace01 | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 12:46 pm     Battlestar - you are correct. These 2 topics have nothing in common with each other. Just to add though, the state of (conditions for) women around the world is (are) terrible, but there is not much that we can do about the world. All we can do is attempt to have everything as gender neutral in this country as possible. |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 12:48 pm     :::: YEAH DELILAH!!!::::: |
Texastillie | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 12:48 pm     IMO, Chiara's behavior has set women back much farther than Roddy's. She IS an embarrassment. Roddy has every reason and right to want to distance himself from her. I doubt he had any idea what she was really like when he hooked up with her and certainly has no obligation toward her more than kindness, which I think he showed her. I do feel sorry for Chiara. She obviously thinks lewd behavior will make men "want" her - and I'm sure it does. However, it does not make men "love" her. |
Moedog | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 12:49 pm     The Roddy/Chiara deal is secondary, Battlestar. I was responding to a specific statement. I apologize for getting off topic. (I've put my soapbox away) Roddy is a user and a cad. He has belittled Chiara and condescended to her at every turn. He's raked her over the coals many times, not just last night. Unfortunately, she doesn't think highly enough of herself so she runs back to him and apologizes. I think that woman has some serious issues she needs to deal with, but it doesn't excuse Roddy's behavior to her throughout their "relationship". I pity the woman who ends up under his thumb on a more permanent basis. It will have to be someone weak so Roddy can form and shape her into his image of what his woman should be. He's still stringing Chiara along... hoping for her vote if he manages to avoid eviction. He loves reading people (by his own admission), feels he's superior to most of us ignorant peons, and he has a way of manipulating others that no one can deny. |
Moedog | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 12:51 pm     Yeah, Roddy and his "hints". Then he crawls into bed with Chiara. He's a user. |
Carolm | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 12:52 pm     Delilah, I agree he has been dropping hints but can you please please tell me why he slept in bed with Chiara last night? And better yet why did he hold her? If you want to dump somebody you at least go sleep in another bed! I really respect everyones thoughts! I cant help but think Loser Roddy is just leading a Stupid Naive Girl along.... And Please note I don't like Chiara and if I had a son he better not bring her home LOL |
Delilah | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 12:56 pm     So what that he slept in the bed with her? He feels sorry for her! Using her for what? What can she possibly do for him? Pull a Shannon? Please, they want him out because he is threat numero uno, Chiara is annoying gutter mouth numero uno, let's see who they oust, hmmmmmmm. Roddy is NOT a loser nor a user. He is eloquent, smart, fair and morally upstanding IMO. He is my kind of guy. It is JMHO and I am sticking to it as I have from day one  |
Wedge | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 12:57 pm     I agree 100% Delilah. Roddy may have his own "issues" but he hasnt shown any jealous rage as Chiara has when other women speak with her "man" ( and I have heard her reference him that). She is just one of those kinda scary, fatal-attraction types ( though with the right person I can see her mellowing out and having a good relationship where she doesnt have to be so afraid she is going to lose her partner)...he shouldnt have gotten in with her in the first place ,they have nothing in common. But then there lies a question...If he doesnt have anything in common, or seem to want her around anymore...why is he still sleeping with her? Whats the purpose of that, besides making her believe he still does care..hmmmm..? |
Texastillie | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 12:58 pm     Yeah, what Delilah said. |
Maris | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:00 pm     Roddy is a user and unfortunately Chiara was his first error in judgement. I don't think he expected her to become so needy. He thought they could have their verbal sexual games and he could allign with her and by association get Lisas and Tonyas loyalty. He realized that she was a liability but was in a position that he could not get out of. He couldnt alienate himself from her without risking her going totally nuts on him. He didn't want to be in a position where he was in the house with someone who might go off on him and he didnt wnat to be connected to an emotional wreck. He tried to keep her in line and at the same time gently extricate himself but he knows that one of them is leaving on Thursday and he has to let her know "Dont call me, I'll call you". He has to do this and at the same time preserve his place in the house. Plus he has to do this while constantly aware that the cameras are on him 25% of the time. |
Delilah | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:03 pm     Wow, thanks guys! I feel better now, it gets awfully lonely in the Roddy corner you know! People are going to start wondering what myself and Zachsmom are doing in there all the time by ourselves! Chiara is a spoiled brat who thinks any man would give their eye teeth to be with her, hopefully she will wake up and smell the brush off now. Roddy should be with an independent, secure, intelligent, emotionally balanced, attractive woman not a <> like Chiara. He needs a woman Hmmm, like me perhaps?  |
Laffy | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:04 pm     ahem,...spooning with her every night is letting her know HE IS NOT INTERESTED? he frequently berated her then slept with her at night. how many times did he get her to say "i'm sorry"? yes, he did manipulate her feelings, he definitely did. he pushed her away then pulled her back over and over again. i agree with those who said he needs to control people. roddy's problem is that he believes he is superior to others, those who recognize that are treated well, those who complain about him are punished. when relationships fail it's because both people failed to some degree. roddy could have told her why he failed her too and left it as friends. he prefered to place all the blame on her and accept no responsibility for the demise of their relationship. please go back to your life, roddy, and leave these people in peace. |
Karuuna | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:07 pm     laffy wrote: when relationships fail it's because both people failed to some degree. Amen, Laffy. Except of course, MY relationships, where it's always the other person's fault.  |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:08 pm     ummm delilah! I am the single one!!heehee-we better head back into our corner!! |
Delilah | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:11 pm     Rut roh, what a day to come out of lurk mode! Someone agrees with me for a change and I jump around ecstatically then Bam! right back where I started..... Move over Z, I want the left side tonight!  |
Wedge | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:11 pm     What relationship are we talking about here? The one where she monopolizes Roddy, threatens people, I havent seen a "relationship" per say ( or at least not a healthy one)...I dont see any bond between them other than "players". She is by far not in the same league as this guy. And until he goes spread eagle on the lazy susan and asks the HG's to lick out his creamy center, I cant change my mind... |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:11 pm     Funny..everyone is beating up on Roddy for crawling in the same bed with Chiara..but not one blast about Chaira not kicking him out! |
Fuzzybear | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:13 pm     Oh I will. I wonder why she lets him 'spoon' her when he's said some cruel stuff to her. I'd kick him out but maybe there is no where else to sleep |
Delilah | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:17 pm     Yay Wedge! You are spot on! Has he been trying to get another woman into the sack? Like Ms. Kiki. Has he been flirting mercilessly with anything that moves. Heck the only thing Chiara hasn't done is try to seduce the lizards! They have her number TG..... Exactly, Z, how stupid is she not to know he has been trying to let her down gently for weeks yet she still spoons with him? Where is he gonna go? Jump into bed with Lisa or Amy? Do you think he can risk the train wreck of a reaction Chia would have? He feels sorry for her and she is a warm bod at night. No problem there IMO. She is the loser who doesn't even know she is being dumped and very nicely thank you! No "F off you %^%$R^%, I wouldn't be with you on the outside if you were the last woman on earth." |
Sassylady | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:20 pm     I think I thought emotional games (abuse is a harsh word that I used in a prior post) when I saw the typical behavior (and not just last night). He does things and expects an apology from her and she gives it and this just turns my tummy. I will be the first to say if this relationship makes them happy (and causes no harm) go for it...who am I to judge. However, the argument that he realized what she was like and didn't like her gets blown out of the water by Roddy's friends. They pointed out that this is the type of woman Roddy goes far. This changed my view that he just got caught up the wrong girl. I think with him crawling back in bed cooching (spooning)her each night confirms that last night was not a break-up per say but just another "lesson" he wants to teach her. Forgive me for going all over the place. I just have a hard time getting my thoughts out right. |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:23 pm     Well..he does have somewhere else to sleep..with Jason and Jerry in the Tiki room..or there is always a cot.. but why is it HE has to leave the bed? Why didn't she go somewhere else? Why didn't she say after their talk..okay..you better find somewhere else to sleep at night because I don't want you in the same bed with me! Don't lay it all out on Roddy..he tried to be kind..and as someone else said..it takes two have have a "relationship" fail..then again..I never saw a relationship between them.. going back into lurk mode- had to defend my man though..way to go delilah..you can have the left..I am left handed anyway.. |
Moedog | Tuesday, August 20, 2002 - 01:23 pm     I think Chiara's too weak emotionally and has some MAJOR problems she needs to work out. I think her speech and behavior are deplorable and publically offensive, and that they're indicative of larger issues she should come to grips with. Her conversation with Dani after Roddy tore her a new ....... was very revealing as to why she hasn't kicked Roddy out of the bed. Not all women are strong, self-assured, and confident in their abilities, unfortunately. She is one of those women. |
