Whatever his secret is, I think he did tell Chiari and that is why she was so emotional eviction night. Her emotions seemed a bit more than just being evicted. I cannot put my finger on it but something just seemed off to me. And what ever he told her she seemed to finally accept that friendship was the only relationship in their future...I thought Roddy told them all early on that he was dyslexic...doesn't seem like that would or should be a secret. Most people who are dyslexic are very brilliant.

I think Roddy's secret is he doesn't have a clue how to win this game.

Bigd, I think you have hit on it. Posters keep saying Roddy is the master strategist, the game player extraordinaire. I suspect that Roddy is just hanging on by his fingernails, barely avoiding eviction. He has been unable to prevent his alliance from falling apart and most of the members evicted. All the manipulating and strategizing we think we see are really just Roddy being Roddy, that's just the kind of person he is. He would probably be amazed to learn people think of him as a Master game player.

ANY of these scenarios are possible. Ummm, well, some of them are, the Witness Protection Program, not so much, but what a fascinating story would that be! But if he IS gay, that would explain Chiara's being a bit "off" on eviction night! I personally throw my weight behind the "he's older than he says" theory. I remember watching the show one night and thinking, "Wow, he really looks older than 30." (But then, I'm not the best judge of age. I'm 33 and think I look 16! I'm VERY insulted when I'm not carded! LOL)

Not ten minutes ago they were talking about ages and Roddy said he just turned 30. Lisa and Danielle both said that they had thought him older....adding that it was the way he carried himslef more than his mere appearance. Roddy joked around Amy saying he was fiftly, telling Gerry that he was Gerry's older brother.

Hummm, Sassylady might just have a point there. Does anyone remember seeing Roddy and Chiara having a few moments alone before the eviction show?

Oh yeah...in that same convo he said that he was once an intern on Capital Hill...didn't say whose office he worked in, though. It was a story about how he dated some girl "on the Hill", one that he really hit it off with, and when she found out he was "just an intern" she immediately dumped him.

Wonder (if Roddy really HAS a big secret) if it could having something to do with his time in the Capital? Maybe he had an affair with Janet Reno!)

Well the reason I think his secret is he doesn't know how to *WIN* the game, I think he can play it just fine, but winning is something else entirely. I can *PLAY* Hearts (card game) but I don't ever remember winning. Winning requires more than *I think* Roddy has.

I think ya'll may be on to something with this age thing. Here's my support:

1. Roddy once said (I think it was in the DR) on television (not live feed) that one of the things going against him and Chiara was the "age issue." I thought, what?? If he's 30 and she's 25, well that's not such an age difference. But then again, if he's 40...than that makes more sense.

2. He simply does *not* look 30! No way. Nada. Nope. Maybe 40...41. Doesn't act like 30 either. He acts considerably more mature than 30.

Maybe he lied to get on BB because he knew they would only take one or two "oldsters." Thus if he were 30, he'd have more of a chance of getting in.

Just a thought....

As she was leaving, Roddy whispered in her ear -
"Chiara, you misunderstand again, I didn't say I was important, I said I was IMPOTENT"

I AGREE NO WAY HE IS 30!!!!

he looks like he has had a face lift and some eye work.....probably a nose job too.....he has a plastic surgery "look" to him.

silksmokeROFLMBO!!!! He did say today, to Amy,(joking) that he had two pen** implants....The plot thickens...lol
I agree with everyone on the age issue. Either he has lived a very hard life, illness etc. which aged him early or he is much older than 30.

Another possibility--Could be he was once overweight. Sometimes this ages a person when they loose a lot of weight. Seems like he mentioned it one time and he freaked about the picture with the double chin(which I agree with him it was a bad angle). Also, during the show with his friends they showed a picture of him with his freinds and his face was much fuller--Maybe he was an obese teenager and that would explain many things as far as his behavior...

I think you guys are exaggerating a little..lol..Roddy may not be 30..but he doesn't look 40..I think he is maybe 33 or 35 no older..

Well Sassylady, you're looking mighty spiffy tonight in your beret and shades!

Hmmmm. could be that he was overweight. He did seem to freak out (for Roddy) over that unflattering pic of him.

However, there still is that troubling bald spot in the back. I don't think being overweight and then losing it would do that. I'm not an expert in baldness but isn't it true that early baldness begins in the front (not the back)? Any bald men out there care to enlighten us?

Roddy and all his friends looked older than 30 to me. Maybe they've just been rode hard and put up wet a few too many times.

In 10th grade history I sat behind a 16 or 17 year old football player that was balding the exact same way. Early balding doesn't necessarily start in the front.

"Putting me in this house, is like putting Crocodile Dundee on Survivor"

Gerry just had a conversation with Dani...and told her that Rod said this to him back in week one.

What do we really know about Rod? He's a writer... Anything else? I heard him mention that he use to work on Wall Street.. There has to be something more to Rod that we don't know about. (the big secret I guess)

Sounds like a job for Chiara.
