Maris | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:05 pm     I dont hate Roddy at all in fact I am just loving watching Danni and Roddy in action. This is the best match-up on BB that I can remember. Its like watching two chess masters playing a chess game and the other HGs are the pawns. This is pure magic. I want to see the two of them right to the end. |
Ketchuplover | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:43 pm     Why do I hate Roddy? Cuz its fun |
Hillbilly | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:47 pm     ..lol...ketchuplover...an honest answer fer sure... |
Draheid | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:50 pm     Ketchuplover: Good honest answer ... You have been nominated! Start packing!!  |
Theo17 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:52 pm     because we all have a brain and a heart. Most the hgs are missing one or both |
Gentoo | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:55 pm     I agree with Maris, and think Danni and Roddy have made this game the best season yet. Roddy is the guy you all love to hate, and every reality show needs a villain. The quirky thing is, I think for the first time, the villain doesn't realize he's the villain. He may just think he's the hero. Rich Hatch, Jerri, Dr. Will, etc, all knew they were going to be seen as villains. Rich Hatch and Dr. Will relished it (which is why I loved them so much). |
Wcv63 | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 08:57 pm     Why to hate Roddy? Because he's Roddy. Shrug. What else is there to say? |
Patman | Saturday, August 24, 2002 - 09:05 pm     Roddy's one of the best "confidence" scammers I've ever seen up close and personal on national TV. |
Maris | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 10:03 am     I agree Gentoo. Roddy is going to be shocked when he gets out of the house and finds out that the web does not think he is a softee and we think he is just one big knucklehead. He sure is entertaining to watch though. |
Foodbunny | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 10:06 am     You don't have to have a real sense of entitlement to know that carrying yourself as if you have one can sway people. Roddy knows he can still go at any time, but acting as if he can go at any time will make others more likely to put him up. I don't see this "hurting others" people are talking about. Roddy is still the hero in my book. |
Theo17 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 10:09 am     I'm telling you I feel guilty that I do not hate roddy enough. What is to like about somebody that is so blatantly dishonest who bullys people based on their worst fears and insecuritys. I do find it funny that amy did everything she could to save him 3 days ago and he hasnt stopped trying to kick her out since. Thats classic roddy. eric his buddy...gone, josh his buddy...gone, kiki his gf when convenient...gone, soon amy his latest saviar will be gone. They are all small sacrafices roddy makes to 500k and the twisted thing is he is so manipulative that all but eric just lie down for him and say pick me to leave not roddy. |
Mr_Bozack | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 10:37 am     People hate winners. The problem with rising to the top is that ultimately, someone's always trying to knock you back down. Willmega and P. Diddy refer to these types of people as haters. It's inevitable, and if you've ever experienced that type of spite, it sucks royally. |
Maris | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 11:03 am     Lol Theo, you have to love it though. That is why I want to see a Danni and Roddy nomination. I hope that Marc and Amy keep their word that they will do that next week . I would prefer if Lisa was HOH and nominated them though because that would just be one more thing to throw into the equation. It will be the clash of the Titans and I think there will be a lot of blood on the floor. They will pull out all the stops but it will take each of them at least a day to come up with an agenda. |
Wcv63 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 11:07 am     Mr. B there are many logical and well thought reasons listed in this thread explaining in some detail why Roddy is disliked. I think you need to bite the bullet and just admit that when it comes to Roddy you wear the same type of blinders I wear when discussing Jason and Dani. |
Mr_Bozack | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 11:26 am     Well, he's my favorite house guest. I like him the best, I admit it. I haven't seen him do anything wrong though. I'm thinking here.... ...I don't have the live feeds, so I don't see every second of action... ...he was wrong to criticize Chiara's gift because he had a double-chin in the photo. That was bad behaviour on his part... ...Wait! Now YOU'RE the one pulling the Jedi mind tricks on me! "When it comes to Roddy I wear the same type of blinders you wear when discussing Jason and Dani." Very sneaky Wcv63, very sneaky indeed. See, isn't Roddy's strategy effective? |
Oregonfire | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 11:30 am     I said it before, I like a good fight. It's no fun when there is a slam dunk winner with five people still left. Dani will be sent home next week because Marci and Amy will vote her out, or nominate her if one of them wins HOH. After that, it's just a matter of waiting for the last week and seeing who Roddy takes with him. Marci, Amy, and Jason do not have the will power to get rid of him. I just don't see it happening. No one is going to do anything unexpected. When are they ever unpredictable? Not this year. |
Rissa | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 11:31 am     I don't dislike Roddy, I actually find him fascinating in a lab-rat sorta way. Everything he says, everytime he interacts with any of the others, he is so (or seems so) totally in control of every word and it's affect. He is playing this game like a master and I would love to know what he is like in real life. Is his world just like this, a huge chess game? Or does he actually have his guards up full time in the house but is much more *normal* in reality? This is a game that takes every bit of emotional strength you have to keep focussed 24/7 and get to the end. For all these type shows, I don't like the *under the radar* types. It's always easy to just coast through by not being at all involved and then sit there with your cheque at the end and say "Gee, it was my strategy all along" or just sit on the sidelines, do nothing then claim that everything that unfolded was your doing. If Roddy does win this, he will have worked for it and same with Dani. |
Wcv63 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 11:31 am     Actually Mr_B since I disclosed that I know that I wear blinders it is very different from Roddy's strategy. He admits nothing. No Jedi tricks here....believe me, if I were capable of hypnotising this board with Roddy's mind meld tactics I'd have everyone calling me "Your Highness" and sending me money. |
Draheid | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 11:35 am     While in a blind mind-altered stupor, the following occured: Your Highness, the money you requested is being faxed to you in cash. You should receive these faxes on a daily basis. *By Your Command*  |
Mr_Bozack | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 11:46 am     Oregonfire: I don't think, even if Danielle goes next week, that it's a slam dunk for Roddy. In actuality, it's looking to me like it's a slam dunk that Amy will make it to the final two. Roddy still has to navigate himself through Jason, Lisa and Marcellas to get to the final two, and that won't be easy for-sheezy. So fortunately, there's still much more drama to come. I would LOVE to see Danielle vs. Roddy on the block! Who do you think Roddy puts up if he wins HOH next week? |
Seamonkey | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 11:49 am     I don't hate Roddy.. I dislike his mind games. And he does make for some good live feed moments, but to get those moments you must listen to a mind-numbing whirlwind of words.. and often it simply isn't worth the wait. I like the color of his eyes. |
Oregonfire | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 11:52 am     We'll see. I'm burnt out on speculation for the moment. |
Wcv63 | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 12:00 pm     Draheid....you follow orders beautifully! |
Twiggyish | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 12:56 pm     What Ketchup said!! |
Zeyna | Sunday, August 25, 2002 - 01:16 pm     I've pretty much been a Roddy supporter throughout the show. I see his faults, but haven't really agreed with the majority that he's as evil as suggested. Having said that, when I watched him speak to Jason on the show last night, it just gave me a bad feeling about the guy. I was watching someone desperately trying to control his temper and still coming across as a complete bully. I actually think he scared Jason into not nominating him. |
