Why do you all hate Roddy so much?:
Archive through August 26, 2002
Nimtu | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 05:00 pm     No..wouldn't say hate. I stated that I am not fond of him. I do agree with you that the others are responsible for their own actions and beliefs. Just don't have much of a taste for the emotional manipulation that he uses - but I agree with you that it is just a game. |
Suitsmefine | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 05:15 pm     Ok , it's a game...but I liked it better when Will told them he would lie to get what he wanted and then do it , I don't like the way Roddy says "trust me while I shove the knife deeper into your back" ....at least Will gave them fair warning of his character and told them he couldn't be trusted...Roddy hides behind which ever HG is unpopular at the moment and then blames it on everyone but himself... |
Angelsluv | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 05:28 pm     That's it Loppes!!! You figured it out for us!!! Roddy's secret is that he HAS had a p*nis implant!! *See thread "What is Roddy's BIG SECRET?"* *LOL* (I couldn't resist) |
Twiggyish | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 05:48 pm     I just went back and reread Loppes's post..that is funny!! That's an implant? Boy, did he get ripped off. |
Nimtu | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 05:53 pm     I've just been wondering which of the female houseguests had p*nis implants...anyone know |
Costacat | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 06:14 pm     Totally off topic (and off color) but didn't Chiara WANT to have Roddy's "p" implanted? |
Rolandcat | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 06:20 pm     i agree with Suitsmefine. Will would say I told them I lie why do they keep believeing me. Roddy says "trust me" but meaning trust my exact words NOT the meaning of those words. |
Bluie | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 06:57 am     There is only one word to describe Roddy ~ narcissist . He has zero true feelings of compassion and empathy for anyone. The only person that exists in his world is his himself. He has all the classic symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. |
Romans8_1 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 07:50 am     Do I hate Roddy. No. My concern about him is his fake compassion. Is fake compassion better than no compassion? I'm not sure. I think Roddy has such great potential. It's been amazing to watch how he can build people up and make them feel good about themselves. People are natually drawn to people like that who make them feel good. I love to watch how the HG feel uplifted when he pours on the charm. It's nice. Roddy lacks one thing though (apart from my religious beliefs ), true compassion. Because he lacks this, when people find out he was/is faking, then it does almost more harm than the good it did in the first place. Yeah Roddy made Josh feel good about himself and made Josh feel like they had a true friendship, but how is Josh going to feel when he hears how fony it was and that Roddy felt that he could so manipulate him. Josh is going to be crushed (or maybe not). My point is that fake compassion can be detrimental once the recipent finds out. It may make them less trusting in the future and help to raise an inherent distrust in our fellow humans. How many of you have been hurt when you found out someone was faking their feelings with you? Does it cause you to build more walls and less likely to let the next person in? Do I hate Roddy, No. I think he has a lot of potential and my prayer is that he will walk away from this experience with something that is worth much more than the $500,000. |
Saggkl | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 08:38 am     I don't hate Roddy, but I will admit I would not want to be one of the younger impressionable players in the house. I don't know but what he could mesmerize me also. |
Bogey | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 10:59 am     Roddy is boring, he talks down to everyone, he makes a point of telling everyone how intellectual he is (and its so hard to live with you shallow people who only talk about movies)which is obnoxious. He manipulates emotions and makes others feel bad about playing the game in any other way than that which would be beneficial to Roddy (because he genuinely cares about you as a person). The only thing I like about Roddy is that he likes hockey. |
Duncan | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 11:26 am     What irks me is that it is SO plain that he is manipulating everyone, and they are letting him do it. They have ALL said what a strong player he is, and that they should vote him out so that they have a chance to win.....yet Roddy *always* manages to cowtow them into letting him stay. It almost seems that none of them want to win the money. It isn't so much an active dislike of the man, but disappointment at how others are falling all over themselves to make him happy. From a strategic view, he should have gone out when he was up with Josh. What does iritate me about the man, though, is the way he always makes sure that everyone there knows just what a wonderful dude he is, and how much they owe him. And they buy it! The man really needs to get over himself and start practicing a little humility. IMHO. |
Loppes | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 11:43 am     Angels, Twiggish, Nimtu, you're posts are too funny. I pop home for lunch and check the updates on the hamsters. I forgot all about my implant comparison. Thanks for the laugh. We know Chiara didn't have a penis implant seeing as she took great pride in showing the rash on her cr*tch to everyone. The jury is out on others though. Have a good day, I'll be back later. Lon |
Maris | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 11:47 am     People seem to lose sight of the fact that this is a game to win half a million bucks. These people waved their hands and said I want to be in this show. They will do what they can to win the money including manipulate, lie, play mind games or whatever they need to do. I have seen posts talking about how this game player or that game player is more moral, more ethical, hasnt sunk to the lows of the others and these players have something in common. They have not been put on the block. Every single player who has been put on the block, will lie, stab the other nominee in the back, will lay down with dogs and risk catching fleas, all in the hope that they will save themselves for another week. In the beginning for many of them it was a a lark, an adventure. As they approached the half way point they realize they have a chance here. So you have Jason making his deals with Roddy, you have Gerry trashing Amy at every opportunity and you have Roddy doing everything he can not to be the three times the charm's evictee. Nothing wrong with that, it is a game and it is entertainment. Let's face it, what sort of people walk away from their families and their lives to expose themselves like this 24/7???? None of them are people I would want to know, I think they all have screws loose. That is my opinion |
Cindyluvsroddy | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 01:03 pm     Maris --- very, very, good point .... This whole "morals" thing is crap ... It is a game .... each HG must be clever, lie when needed .... manipulate if needed .. etc.. Its all in fun, and in the end - the HG's who bow down and show real sportmanship to the winner, in my world, will be the ones i respect ... The HG's and posters who complain that the winner lied and broke promises are the sore losers .... Right now, it would be fun to see any of them win .. |
Theo17 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 01:04 pm     Cindy the hg you are rooting for complains that people lie and break rules so thats kinda funny for you to say |
Cindyluvsroddy | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 01:08 pm     Theo17 i am rooting for other HG's as well .... i also stated "in the end" .... when the game is over ... if in the end Roddy or any other HG acts like a cry baby that they didnt win .. i wont respect them ... |
Romans8_1 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 01:16 pm     Cindy -- "lie and manipulate if needed" - "All in fun" While I agree that the context of the game needs to be evaluated when judging one's actions, it does not free us to be being cruel and hurtful. Think about the games we play ... chess, or cards for instance. The goal is for me to win, but not embarrass and mentally hurt you. I know alot of people probably think I'm nuts for saying this next part but ... my philosphy is "whatever you do, do it with love." |
Cindyluvsroddy | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 01:31 pm     The parameters of this game require that one pretty much needs to "play" or they will get booted .... every HG in that house has lied at some point... even your Jason ... its no big deal ... they r "playing"...relax Besides, Romans8_1 -- when u bash Roddy, is that something u do in love???? lol please .... And we agreed on something on another thread .. u spoiled our moment Romans!! .. hehe |
Romans8_1 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 01:51 pm     I don't mean to sound like I'm Roddy bashing. Maybe that is too hard of a term. More like small annoince. I think he is an intellegent guy (I couldn't miss it since he constantly tells us. oops. sorry ) with a great sense of humor. I find many positive things in him and can see why alot of people are attacted to him. My only concern is his fake compassion. It just happens to be one of my pet peaves. If he displayed true compassion (and he yet may redeem himself - I think a test is coming for him), I will be officially be on the Roddy bandwagon. Should I be posting this on the other thread. |
Cindyluvsroddy | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 01:59 pm     How can you possibly tell if he has "fake" or "true" compassion????? you can't ... Not yet anyway .... it is not very "christian like" to judge and point at someone and accuse them of such is it?? or maybe it is .... i dont know MY biggest test about a person's character is how they react in the end .... how they handle losing or winning ... I don't mean to knock the christian thing (or maybe i do lol) ... but u do bring those views to the boards ... so i can't help it hehe However, Romans ... i like debating u  |
Snee | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:21 pm     it could be real compassion. to me, it seems fake. however, i kind of doubt that the people who have received the (possibly) fake compassion will ever know it. if roddy is this good, what is to say that he can't maintain it? they will go their separate ways...some may catch on once they're out of the house, but some may not. |
Romans8_1 | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:28 pm     i agree with snee. |
Cindyluvsroddy | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:29 pm     Everybody is "fake" in the house to a degree .... they r all trying not to be nominated, trying to make allies, trying to stay in the game ... so they are all holding back on how they really feel ... that is what "fake" means.. But!! That is how u have to play the game!! ....Is Roddy pouring it on more than others? Maybe so .. but he isnt alone .... they all r ... i really dont know why people have such a problem with that ... when i play poker, i dont pout when my hand stinks .. lol |
Wiseolowl | Monday, August 26, 2002 - 02:36 pm     Roddy just sort of gives you the feeling that if he was CEO of a major corporation - or former CEO he'ld be up before some Congrssional committee taking the 5th. |
