Once again, we stray way off. I think Roddy's big secret is he's heterosexual and Atheist.

Actually, I read a rumor somewhere that he was born into a wealthy family. Honestly, that isn't a big deal.

I don't know why, maybe Sanfran is influencing me, but I am not disliking Roddy so much anymore.

Theo - "may I ask if you yourself has wondered about any of the houseguests?"

Josh was the most effeminate of all the men next to Marcellas, but I don't think he's gay.

Marcellas has always appeared obvious, as if he is using affected mannerisms to assume the spotlight.

I actually know more gay men that are the Roddy, Josh, Gerry, or Jason "types" than Marcellas's "type". The thing is...I assume everyone that presents himself as str8 to actually BE str8...until I see evidence that says otherwse.

I personally do not see a closeted gay man going on a national tv show and agreeing to be filmed 24/7. That would put him under way too much pressure, especially if he is trying to keep it a secret. I'd bet that any one of the str8 folks on this board could pass as gay in a gay bar with gay friends for a couple of hours....but trying to hide their heterosexuality in a locked down household, on camera 24/7, with 11 strangers....that's another story entirely.....I don't know of a single closeted gay man that would even consider it.

A lot of it is context, too. Here in SF in the Castro district, which is the biggest hangout of gay men in the city, if you see a cute guy walking down the street, you usually assume immediately that he is gay. That same guy, in another setting, such as at his job as a constructuion worker or in a bank would not make me think he was gay at first glance at all.

Back to topic - I think Roddy's big secret is nothing major at all (if he even HAS a secret), just some private thing that he is planning on telling Chia after the show....maybe he has a kid somewhere or maybe he is divorced.

I'm so amazed at where this thread has gone. LOL @ us. I'm quite sure it started when Roddy almost told Chiara his game strategy when they were both on the block.

Twiggyish - "I don't know why, maybe Sanfran is influencing me, but I am not disliking Roddy so much anymore."

I used to dislike him more....but now I realize it was just the company he was keeping. I didn't like the king because I didn't like his subjects (Josh, Chia, Tonya). Now that the subjects have been banished from the kingdom, the pompous king is just another unempowered peasant. I DO admire his success in staying in the game without having his little dark army to protect him. He's proven that he is a great game player with or without his flying monkeys.

Besides, he's cute.

I *wish* his secret was that he was planning on giving his BB3 winnings to ME!

Thanks for your insite san fran. One last question do you think Marcy overplays his efeminate side sometimes not because he is gay but because he likes attention from the cameras?

I, for one, and I know many others who have posted on this thread were just being silly. Come on the majority of the thread has been tongue in cheek. i.e., Roddy's big secret is that he is a double agent or in the witness protection program, he is really 83 etc.... Maybe I am wrong but I thought we were just being silly with our detective hats on...As in the scooby do gang whipping the mask off and exposing the old museum janitor. I mean come on if Roddy is older big deal! And I really doubt that he is in the witness protection program. Roddy of all people would get a kick out of the speculation of what his secret is...

Yes, I can see that. I think it was the company he was keeping. It brought the worst out in him. He's mild mannered compared to some of them.

hmmmph, you get the money AFTER me =)

Sassylady - That's true about this being a tongue in cheekk thread. I just made my comments because the subject comes up time and time again, no matter what the topic is and no matter whether it is a tongue in cheek fun thread or a serious one.

Re Roddy's age-I think he's older than he says too, but on the feeds this morning, when he, Lisa and Amy were talking in the kitchen he said Marcellas is three months older than he is, and he was going to tease Marcellas about it. I missed the comment re the 45 years, I thought he said something like it would seem like years, and be the rest of his life-didn't make sense really, but I was having a he** of a time hearing everything, with the whispering and bad feeds. Maybe it's just more of his 'misinformation', LOL!

OH MY GOSH! Sorry if you thought I was being cranky! I was laughing at ourselves, I didn't mean it any other way!

You are right SanFran. I was just so worried that it all might be taken wrong and people get all uptight when in fact it has been a fun thread... Your observation is correct though it does pop up all the time regardless hmmm. Maybe we need to ivestigate that further...LOL :0)

Could Roddy be an alien from another world. He's really big on Asimov, no?

Hey Gidg! If I get the chance today I am going to go through the thread and make a chart of all we have come up with....should be interesting. An 83 y/o alien who writes porn films and word has it he is DB Cooper and is in the witness protection program because.....Oh, I know, I need a life!

R said he felt funny when Julie said D was the mother figure, he wanted to jump in becuz he's older, D says R is not older. R said G's strong as an ox.


Back to Roddy lying about his age to get on the show.

i think he goes to hair club for men. dont get me wrong, i think he is hot. but he has some habits an old coworker of mine use to have. he tends to grab his hat alot when in situations where his hair is messed up. he keeps the hat close to him during those situations. example, the pictures of him laying in bed after waking up and having his hat on. maybe he is just paranoid with the cameras. his habits just mirror someone who has a hairpiece. you can hardly tell on many guys that they have one if it is done properly.
to me it isnt really a big secret, but to him it might be.
just my thoughts

LOL I really thought this thread was going to die. Danielle and Roddy are both 30 years old. If he's got a hairpiece then he should ask for a refund because they missed that big bald spot at the back.
