Dale Carnegie wrote the 60's (or 70's?) bestseller "How to Win Friends and Influence People". Roddy doesn't need to win BB. He can become rich writing "How to Win Friends and Influence People 2".

Yes, but Dale Carnegie was coming from base of integrity. He would have *never* suggested the kind of mind f'ing Roddy does.

He is more likely to be the next Ted Bundy.

Some working titles for Roddy's book:

"I Forgive You Because I Am So Cool And Awesome."

"I Hurt Your Feelings, Now Say You're Sorry"

"Premise Premise Conclusion Backup or How To Sound Like You're Saying Something Brilliant By Throwing Out A String Of Random Words"

Dale Carnegie's book dates back to 1936.

Roddy's twist on it could be titled "How to Win $500,000 by Influencing People."

He'd make a good salesman or con man because his Powers of Persuasion seem to be effective in one-on-one conversations. He could definitely write the book on "How to influence a person." Whenever he tries to turn on the charm in front of a group of 2 or more he comes across as pompous.

He'll have to buy Danielle's book for influencing groups of people.

roddy problem is he is the opposite of dale. dale encouraged listening to and admitting mistakes not talking down to people and insisting you were right. Dale said even when you win an argument you have lost

I hope Roddy includes a chapter about leaving the bath tub when he needed to win that HOH. Very thrilling reading.

Wow Goddess, comparing Roddy to Ted Bundy isn't only over the top, its also wrong. This one is as bad as the guy who said the Roddy would compare himself to Jesus Christ.

This is a game you guys, and these people are human. Yes they signed up for this show, however you (collectively) get all riled at what the other HG's say about Gerry but do you ever think for just a moment how hateful and hurtful your posts are to people who are friends or family of the HG's you bash?

He is a lot closer to Al Bundy than Ted Bundy.

Robinyyes- Compairing Roddy to Ted Bundy isn't at all over the top or wrong. Read the profiles of a serial killer like Bundy, like it or not the way Roddy has acted since they walked in that house fits the profile of a serial killer- manipulative, charming, totaly self absorbed with an attitude that he is above and better than the rest of us. Sorry it fits.

robin people speak in jest or with hyperbole on the boards sometimes. You should read what a moderator said on a previous board.

Roddy is more like Jim Jones than Ted Bundy. Ted Bundy physically overpowered people and murdered them against their will.

Jim Jones was so charming and manipulative that he got people to stand in line for the privilege of killing themselves.

Wood wrote, "I Hurt Your Feelings, Now Say You're Sorry"

This one had me rolling on the floor. Excellent.

How about a couple of more:

"Self Sacrifice, Do It For Your Integrity"

"Give Up And Save Me, I'm Awesome!"

Now Jim Jones? you guys should be ashamed! Friends and family do read these boards and I feel sure that were it your friend or family member you would be so enthusiastic in your bashing of ALL the hg's..not just one.

Comparing Roddy to Bundy or Jones shows extreme ignorance at what pathological behavior is about and disrespects the victims of these crimes. It is shameful.

robin as a moderator on another thread said it is not the job of posters to police or attempt to control what other posters say. It is the moderators job soley.

Lighten up Roddy lovers!

This thread started by comparing Roddy to Dale Carnegie. That comparison is as much of a stretch as comparing Roddy to Ted Bundy. I was balancing one ridicules comparison with an opposite ridicules comparison.

this thread is closed. It is NOT okay to compare Roddy to Ted Bundy or Jim Jones. Period. All of you go sit in the corner and think about what you've done.

If I was going to compare anyone to Dale carnegie, it would have to be AMY:

"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all."
-Dale Carnegie
