Why do you all hate Roddy so much?:
Archive through August 23, 2002
The_Walrus | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 07:38 pm     because he is smarter than the rest? because he can manipulte others? isnt that the name of the game? he deserves to win because he knows how, dont hate him, i think he deserves to win. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 07:41 pm     Not all of us hate him. I am a big Roddy fan! If he makes it to the final 2 with that huge red bullseye painted on his forehead since week 1, then he most definitely DOES deserve to win! Go Roddy! I wanna see Roddy and Jason in the final two. (I downgraded Dani to Josh status because she just wouldn't stop manipulating and contrlling for a split second. A good player needs to know when to sit back....Dani doesn't) |
Llkoolaid | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 07:43 pm     I don't hate Roddy I think he is playing a good game. I also don't hate Danielle, she is playing hard too. As for him being smarter than the rest, I am not sold on that one. |
Hillbilly | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 07:45 pm     ..i's likes Roddy....his mind meld control has me a little rattled...sure hope the feller is on my side ifn i was to ever meet him... |
Jimmer | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 07:46 pm     I can’t really answer your question because I don't hate Roddy at all. He's played a reasonable game within the rules and while he is manipulative that's part of the game. And, he doesn't trash people behind their backs in the disgusting reprehensible way that Marc and Amy do with Gerry. I have my favorites but I’d like anyone to win now (including Roddy) as long as neither Marc nor Amy win. |
Oregonfire | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 07:47 pm     I don't hate him, but it's like I said before: I don't want the Yankees to win the World Series every year. This is not a democracy in the house--it is a monarchy. And the other hgs have somehow bought into the idea that they deserve to be the lowly serfs. I want to see a close game, not a shutout. |
Lombadier | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 07:49 pm     I don't understand the hate for Roddy either. With all of the petty insults thrown at him, I don't really care for the reasoning behind it. I hope Roddy will win. |
Bbtimes3 | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 07:50 pm     I don't hate Roddy or any of the other HG's. Roddy's playing his game. The thing I'm upset with is that the HG's are all pretty much resigned to the fact (and they have been for several weeks) that he's a force to be reckoned with (and I'm not saying he's not because he is) yet when they had the chance to get rid of their 'major competitor' they didn't. Too much PC in the house IMO. This is a game after all. |
Whit4you | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 07:53 pm     I don't think there are very many here who really hate Roddy - some may dislike him and some may intensely dislike him but hate him? Doubt that. I intensely disliked him the first few weeks - just because I didn't like the way he acted when THEY had the control over this game. I admire his skills and talents as a gamesman - and honestly don't dislike him as a person. I highly doubt he pushes his will IN REAL LIFE on unwilling people as he's forced to do here in this game. I have no doubts that he's controlling and manipulative in real life - but most that choose to be around people like that (like me lol) seem to like that or um why would they hang around use you know??? I once met soemoen else who was 'just like me' - having to be around him for days...made me hate myself. Never have really recovered from that but at least it was a true eye opener. I will NEVER understand why others would want to be around someone like him (me) but I had more friends then I could handle till I started going totally out of my way to not make more friends. So apparently some people DO. But I think alot of people here just have not seen someone who's that controlling and manipulating in action. And honestly I think most here see themselves on one side or the other of those exchanges and dislike Roddy for that reason. The moment Eric left - I stopped intensley disliking Roddy because he's now playing this game on a more equal footing and his actions and skills in this game are worth watching and worth him winning if he does. I'm sorta suprised that more didn't come to my side with that 5-0 vote. The moment they did that I was like he DESERVES the win!! I was rooting for Eric to go back in that house at that point. But seems there are still a ton of anti-rod winning people even though the people IN that house all want him to win and are practically handing him the win on a silver platter. |
Muse | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 07:58 pm     I don't like Roddy because he seems fake to me. He has commented on how he's careful about what he says in the DR, and even what he says in the house. As an example, he indicated a few times to different people that he wishes he could express his *real* feelings about Chiara, but that he couldn't because of the cameras. I feel like he's working to protect his image. I didn't like that about BB1's Jamie, and I don't like it now. I'm also getting the impression that the real Roddy is not as nice as the one he tries to depict himself as...he's made some mistakes that show a nastier side, and the feelings/opinions that he suggests that he's holding back are usually negative ones. I also disliked Roddy's treatment of Chiara (didn't like her much, but Roddy was a jerk to her). I'm not a fan of how he's harped on how Jason "betrayed him", and how Jason supposedly gave him his word. I don't like how he's making deals with almost everyone in the house (yet condemns others who do the same thing), and how he says he doesn't lie but does. He's a hypocrite. And I don't like how he bashes his so-called "friends" after they leave the house (Tonya, Josh, Chiara), and how he's perfectly willing to set them up to leave when they're no longer useful. |
Oregonfire | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:00 pm     Like how I did that mixed metaphor thingie up there? Gee I'm good at that! |
Curlyq | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:02 pm     I don't hate Roddy. I hate what he does to people. I've said it before, but I'll repeat it. I do not like when people use shame to manipulate others. There are plenty of ways to get what you want from people other than resorting to shaming them. I also don't like the way he condescends, the way he complains constantly about how his awesomeness isn't appreciated by people, and the way he seems to go out of his way to let people know that he's tolerating them and they should be grateful. I don't like the fact that he went into this game with the idea that he'd win by exposing other people's lies. You can't trust a tattler, especially when he himself has lied and still claims his word is golden. I like people who can make others feel good about themselves, and contrariwise I have zero patience for people who like to make others feel bad about themselves. I don't like the fact that he has behaved as if all the other HGs owe him favors when in fact he owes them for sparing him twice. I don't like when he acts as though it's the others' job to help him win and they owe him an explanation if they decide to play against him. I'm disgusted when Roddy tries to get people like Amy and Chiara to change who they are to accomodate him, and pats himself on the back for making improvements on their character. And I've never liked it when a player promises everybody he'll be their ally to the end. I didn't like it when Hardy did it, and I don't like it now. |
Secretsmile | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:04 pm     I guess the only people who are responding are Roddy fans. I don't hate anyone on the show, none of these people affect my life. Mostly when I post an opinion on Roddy or ANYONE, it's because I do so enjoy Big Brother and can't keep my fingers quiet on what one player is doing vs. the others. |
Jazzmaroo | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:06 pm     I've always liked Roddy. Since I've always been hoping for Jason to be in the finals, I've been worried that Roddy would eliminate Jason somehow. The only time I was dissapointed in Roddy was when he told the others that Jason lied to him. It (seemed) like Roddy was trying to destroy any credibility Jason had. I don't know if that was his intent or not. I really felt bad for Roddy because he seemed so shocked that ( from his own viewpoint ) Jason "lied" to him. I knew that wasn't true, and was hoping that he would talk with Jason about it, so Jason could clear up the misunderstanding. I'm so glad that was cleared up between them this evening before the nominations. Deep down inside my heart, I actually want Roddy and Jason to be the last two standing. I'd like Lisa or Dani in 3rd place. |
Neokat | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:11 pm     I agree curlyq!!!! He is great at playing the role of a victim and I've never found humor in his sarcasm. I don't hate him, I understand the strategy, it's just not how I would play. |
Scorpiomoon | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:13 pm     I don't hate Roddy! I swear, if he had left on Thursday I would have stopped watching. |
Mygetaway | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:19 pm     I don't hate Roddy. I just don't want to see him win! If you've ever known someone like him personally in your life, and you learned your lesson from it, then you don't want someone like him to win. I think he's very good looking, I've enjoyed watching him most of the time. I don't want him to get the money or make the final choice of who goes to the finals. I'd like to see him go out 4th place. |
Thefunnyfarm | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:22 pm     Curlyq - you are right on! Besides that, I think Roddy is this way in real life, and is a sick, twisted person. Remember even his friends said he could talk his way on to an air plane without having a ticket? Was failing in school and wound up being at the top of his class a few weeks later? This man has no respect or feelings for anyone or anything - other then himself. I don't hate any of the houseguests either, and realize this is a game. But - the way Roddy brainwashes any one, and plays with their mind is evil, and not gamesmanship. There's no doubt in my mind what you see is the real Roddy. It sickens me to see him degrade, abuse and use these people and to see them lap it up and believe it. I can't stand to see anyone treated that way, and can not understand how they don't see it. It must be the tunnel-vision they have in that house. I was so saddened to see Jason fall for it tonight. Even the bible says "shake the dust". |
Theo17 | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:28 pm     I think he is a jerk who blames everyone else for everything he does (i.e. joshy, kiki). I also think he is very self rightous. he is allowed to play the game on strategy but if anyone else does then they are scumbuckets and evil. I also do not like how he thinks its totally unfair for people to target him when he has no probelm targeting others. Last but not least he has told jason and marcy both he wasnts them in the final 2 with him in the last 4 days. Even king roddy cant accomplish that |
Firebird05 | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:33 pm     I don't hate Roddy. I just don't like him for all the reasons spelled out in Culrlq, Muse and Whit's post. The fact that I don't like him doesn't even effect weather I think he should win or not. I don't like him that's just me but has he played the game better. You have to give him that. Even his "enimies" do his bidding. If he walks out the door with 500,000 I won't be happy for him but did he earn it Yes. He did. He out played them all and it's all their stupid moves to blame. |
Chelle | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:39 pm     I have no problem with Roddy. I am so happy that Jason didn't nom him. What a terrible game it will be if Danielle makes it to the end, because people buy her BS. |
Theo17 | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 08:43 pm     chelle was roddy telling the truth in the hot tub a few days ago with marcy that he wants them to be the last 2 or was he telling jason the truth when he told him the same thing today? I guess some bs is ok and some isnt |
Bailey | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 09:13 pm     Theo, what about Dani promising Lisa and Jason she wants them in the final 2... isn't that the same exact thing? It's a game.. and they're playing hard now. I like Roddy and would be thrilled to see him make it to the final 2 with Jason. |
Meggieprice | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 09:25 pm     CurloyQ, Funnyfarm,Theo- you spoke for me. Roddy's manipulation is too personal for me, he gets inside the others, finds thier weakness, and manipulates it. It makes me skin crawl incomfortable listening to him at times and that's what I go by! Add to it that much of the manipulation is sexual flirtation and I just can't admire the strong and so far successful game he is playing. I think it will be a shame if someone using those tactics wins this game. JMO! |
Bkmac | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 09:28 pm     I don't hate him, I admire a lot of his game qualities. I tend to root for the underdog though and in the past that meant someone other than Roddy. I do admit as the numbers dwindle and his support base has disapeared he has *almost* reached underdog status! |
