Scorpiomoon | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 02:41 am     I was listening to Roddy talking to Amy and Lisa tonight. He was saying how awestruck he was when he thought about how, during Thursday's show, when he made the joke about feeling like Susan Lucci, he made "millions of people laugh". He spoke of how "powerful" it felt to do that. I like Roddy a lot. But I didn't laugh at that comment. I thought it was a totally overused cliche. I just thought it was lame. There have been nights when Roddy has made me laugh until my abs hurt, but the Susan Lucci thing didn't do it for me. Did any of you guys laugh? |
Puckerbutt | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 02:54 am     No - but I'm laughing now. |
Kennyb | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 02:56 am     I chuckeled |
Wcv63 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 03:29 am     Roddy who? I've decided to act like he doesn't exist. I'm much happier that way. Living in my own little fantasy |
Fabnsab | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 03:55 am     I laughed at the fact that Marcellas got the biggest kick out of that joke. You know he was thinking "what young straight man knows who susan Lucci is." I bet he thinks theres hope for Roddy yet. |
Gina8642 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 05:40 am     I didn't laugh because I listened to Roddy prep the joke earlier. I don't know if it made it in to the LFPs but basically he had to ask 'who's that lady who never wins the prize'. He said 'I want to make a joke about it on the live show.' Then he said something like 'how lame am I, I don't even know her name?' Basically, Roddy didn't have clue to Susan Lucci's name. He's like a politician, getting his jokes prepped for him ahead of time. So, I didn't really laugh, but sorta got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Although, I guess this is no different then what a stand up comic does. |
Niceguy | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 06:06 am     Its time for an ALL MY CHILDREN intervention. Now that would be fascinating. |
Bridgetlovesbb | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 07:34 am     I had NO IDEA what he was even talking about until Julie explained it! and then I still did not laugh....and I LIKE Roddy! LOL |
Hermione69 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:01 am     Yeah, same here.. I like Roddy, but I thought it was stupid and he is not the only one was has been put up two times. Hadn't Amy and Marcellas both been nominated twice? Lisa nominated Marcellas and Lori and put in Amy when Marcellas was vetoed. Then Roddy nominated Marcellas and Amy. That's twice for both of them, even if it wasn't for two full weeks. And now Amy is on her 3rd! I did laugh at his singing last night, but by and large, humor does not seem to be Roddy's forte. |
Missy2 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:03 am     I didn't laugh because it seemed a little arrogant. Susan Lucci was nominated 17 times before she got an award (I think thats the number), so that tells me Rod was fairly confident he was not going home. Sometimes Rod makes me laugh but there is nothing spectacular about him or his humor. |
Reader234 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:05 am     hoping to be able to join Wc, as I have the same fantasy - "who"? Uggggggg, nope didnt laugh at all!! and I am getting totally annoyed at the contrived "face time" of the wannabe actors that BB keeps picking!! |
Willow_Woman | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:10 am     Yes, I laugh at Roddy sometimes. I laughed when he told Chiara how "awesome" he was to tolerate her antics. I laughed when he was mulling over the fact that he was so much more "intellectual" than the other hgs and was getting bored. And I especially laugh when he pompously uses five-dollar words in the wrong context. (That last laugh may just be a personal quirk though---I'm an English teacher.) |
Beagle | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:12 am     I did laugh. I also didn't know it had been pre-prepped though.

Onlymytulips | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:21 am     Roddy does not make me laugh. His personality has NO JOKE about it. My mama told me that beauty is only skin deep on some people. Roddy is a fine example of this quote.

Patman | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:50 am     I thought it was 14 times before Lucci got an Emmy. |
Screeminmeemie | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:51 am     Roddy's phoney baloney personality and incessant loud chattering about...well what else......Roddy, is just too boring to listen to for very long. There is something about him that reminds me of the lizards, and I can't pinpoint it. Funny? No. |
Theo17 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:01 am     roddy has no sense of humor really. Will from last year was hillarious in the dr's that was the best part of the show. Who could forget him mocking nicole or his "its awnnnnnnn" with monique? |
Braveheart61901 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:09 am     I don't like Roddy but I did laugh at the joke. But knowing now that he actually "prepped" for it takes away some of the humor because it wasn't spontaneous. Patman, I think Julie said 14 times but it was actually 19. |
Missy2 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:10 am     aah the days of will... I was not sure if it was 14, 15, 16 or whatever either way I still feel the same way - hehe |
Theo17 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:15 am     wouldnt it be great if will came in to the house as the 3rd twist and really showed people for who they are without giving away secrest? Will wouldnt be intimidated by roddy for a second. Will could also out think roddy even with all roddys manipuylations. You know how I know this. Because roddys manipulations depend on other peoples guilt. Will has no guilt and never would be pushed by him. He would laugh in his face |
Saggkl | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:24 am     I didn't laugh at Roddy, but I just laughed ad Wcv63 answer. |
Costacat | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:28 am     Willow, I laugh at Roddy's misuse of words, too! I'm not an English teacher, but I'm a writer (software documentation). And it drives me nuts. To answer the Q, nope, he didn't make me laugh. I thought it was a pretty pathetic attempt at humor. And then to (now) find out he didn't know who Susan Lucci is and hadda ask so he could come off as having a sense of humor on the live show... pathetic. Too full of himself. |
Theo17 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:34 am     If the guy was rehearsing such a pathetic punch line how much you wanna bet those nothing tears were forced? |
Weinermr | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:38 am     I thought it was a clever remark at the time, thinking it was spontaneous. Hearing that he prepped it ahead of time doesn't surprise me though, and is just more evidence (as if we need any more) of how calculating, and how phony he has been all along. |
Zeyna | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:48 am     I didn't laugh at the joke, but I don't see why it's such a big deal if he preped it before the show. I seem to recall Amy practicing her speach word by word and everyone thought it so wonderful. These people are nervous to be on live tv, you can see it in the way they act, so thinking up something funny to say is not a sin. As Gina pointed out, no different than a comic getting ready for a show. |
