Theo17 | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:34 pm     he lives in california. i just found the state income tax. looks like he will be bringing home less than 300,000 unless he manipulates tax laws like he does people. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:36 pm     He's welcome in MY California.....unless his presence induces Chiara stay here, too....in which case I believe that the evil would outweigh the good and he would have to go. ;-) |
Theo17 | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:38 pm     he already said his place is only a few blocks from the house. He moved out there, josh lives there also. he met merrit working for the dodgers |
Jhezzie | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:40 pm     I don't hate Roddy. I don't know him either. He's still in the house after being in the crosshairs most of the time, so he's playing well. I don't believe that he is evil. There is true evil in the world and this guy ain't it. He's just his own biggest fan. If I met him in person, I wouldn't believe him if he told me the sky was blue though. |
Firebird05 | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:40 pm     LOL Theo. At this point I sure he can manipulate that too. After all he knows the Pope and is the most sincere, honest, compassionate, tolerant , person in the world. It must be hard for his greatnest to put up with all these lowly people. |
Saggkl | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:53 pm     I get a kick out of him and Amy trying to out loud each other. |
Willow_Woman | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 10:59 pm     yeah...what wcv63 said (9:35 post). I was just going to post the *exact* same thing but w beat me to it. Drpepper and Marv...do we see a budding romance developing here....??? saph036, me thinks you are right |
Donut | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 11:10 pm     i have very strong negative feelings about roddy. He is pretty much the real <> that will was just pretending to be.. I know that these games involve lying and manipulating and scheming, but i have a big problem when people don't just do it in a 'gaming' way, but really get into serious using and manipulating of people in a deep interpersonal way. Roddy spent every night in bed creating a fake relationship with a woman just to use her for the game. He made Josh and others think that he was their best friend for life just for the game. He has cruelly twisted scenarios around and stuck a dagger into peoples insecure sides to make them think that they are bad and wrong in order to take the flack off of him.. His use of people and his cold and cruel manuevering of their hearts and esteem seems to be to be insidious, calculating and inhumane far beyond the game play of others.. Like his friends said, he can get on a plane without a ticket and flunk out and become valedictorian It is especially interesting to note that he is the only one, i believe in all reality shows, who keeps his gameplay up even to the camera in private, in the DR. In all the other shows, BBs, Survivors, Moles, etc, at some point in private, they tell the camera how they feel, and what they are doing. Roddy is the only one ever that is so calculating that he doesnt even discuss his strategy or real feelings in 'private'. i can never respect any of the reality show players who betray what they claim to be a 'true' friendship..eg. when Tina betrayed Mad Dog.. This is different than someone like Dani, whom although i dont like her, she is playing it really decietfully but in a game way. If she had suddenly put jason out of the house, that would be too me an example of playing beyond the game and hurting someone that you built up a friendship with. oh well, i wish i had a better way with words, and as it is i am ducking the expected attacks that i will invoke.... |
Theo17 | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 11:12 pm     maybe the question shoudnt be why do you hate roddy. The question might be what is there to like about him? |
Marcellasfan | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 11:22 pm     I agree with everything Donut says. However, When I try to write <>, I get moderated....it's a conspiracy ;) |
Jasonfan | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 11:24 pm     I don't hate Roddy at all. In fact, there are some qualities about him I totally respect. But, I think his tactics are hurting people. I'd love a chance to talk to him outside of the game. I wonder if he really knows how he's perceived by others? |
Tracy | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 11:33 pm     Standing ovation Donut! I've never been one to get overly strong feelings of love or hate toward reality show contestants but this man brings out my most negative feelings for all the reasons you so eloquently expressed. |
Uhoh | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 11:40 pm     yes - exactly what donut said in the first part of his/her post above... (btw, jamie also was fake about her feelings and very guarded in DR and with other h'guests, but didn't do the mind-f#ck that roddy practices) roddy would leave me feeling betrayed afterwards, will would leave me just feeling foolish for having believed him, and therein lies the difference. as donut said, roddy makes it personal. |
Snee | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 11:48 pm     i think he's a meanie. |
Willow_Woman | Friday, August 23, 2002 - 11:50 pm     That's what I like about you Snee...short and to the point. No one will ever accuse you of being wordy. |
Auntie | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 12:01 am     I dislike Roddy for one reason: his sense of entitlement. He deserves respect, he deserves admiration, he deserves trust, he deserves emulation, he deserves everything! He is the sun, the rest are his satellites. Roddy may win because the others, even those who see through him, can't seem to resist believing his continual drumbeating for himself, himself, himself. And! he makes them feel guilty if they doubt him in a moment of weakness. They've had 3 chances to get rid of him and have backed off each time. He's no more entitled to win than any of the others but they've let him stay because he supposedly "controls" votes already outside of the house or because voting against him would violate some silly code of honor that he continually uses to browbeat and influence them into not violating. His "code of honor" amounts to a loyalty oath to him, whether spoken or not. It takes real insight & courage to go against someone who's had the strength of personality to establish the dominant cultural climate of such a small, self-contained group. |
Uhoh | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 12:29 am     i agree auntie, and i thought before with his 'respect' mantra that he's behaving like a mafia don. |
Snee | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 12:37 am     will dani find a horse's head in the hrd? |
Auntie | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 01:11 am     Snee, I think Dani found 3 horses' a**es in the HOH the last 3 weeks. All sent by the Rod. |
Abbynormal | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 01:46 am     I just think he's shifty. I don't like how when he's trying to to think of something profound to say his eyes shift back and forth, left to right, really really fast. You can actually see the ole gears cranking. Creepy. He has mentioned several times how pop culture bores him to tears. YET, he chooses to go on tv show. REALITY, no less. The top of the poppest, so to speak. Please! |
Wcv63 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 03:34 am     He does pooh pooh pop which makes him a popper pooper. Who likes a popper pooper? |
Donut | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 10:40 am     thanks guys! the word that got moderated wasnt even a curse! it was a word that got used a zillion times last yr describing Will- i will try to write it differently and precede it with 'alleged' so you can see it wasnt a swear word : i used the word alleged s*ciop^th |
Brynah | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 07:09 pm     Wcv63, there for a minute I thought you were talking about Chiara. |
Squaredsc | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:02 pm     i don't hate roddy. i dislike how he manipulates people intensely. very intensely. i don't hate him, but after tonites show there are flames coming out of my ears for the way he made jason feel. i don't hate him, buti want to kick him in his ankle. i don't hate him but im going to sic my bishon on him. i guess you can say that i don't hate him. |
Theo17 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:05 pm     I'm embarrassed to say i dont hate him enough. I feel by only hating him a little I'm condoning his evilness. I'm afraid I'm no longer awseome and have turned to scumbagery myself. I hope I'm not pulling a josh, because if roddy could only see the tapes he would know that i have stood up for him over and over again. I trust you roddy |
