Letmeinthere | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:17 pm     Amy isn't upset at being nominated, she's upset that Marc made it personal in the speech. That because she's there for the experience and she's having fun and her goal isn't necessarily the cash. Apparently he's not happy about that and lashed out at her in the nomination speech. That is what she's upset about. We'll hear it on Saturday..... hurry up and wait! |
Theo17 | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:29 pm     roddy 3 strikes and you are out. I pray jason stays strong. they dont even need lisa |
Bastable | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:33 pm     "I don't understand what happened," Roddy told Danielle after Marcellas deserted the conversation. "I was apologizing. I was being a big man." A TRUE big man will never say he's a big man. That'll be the end of Roddy. With Marcellas and Danielle, the switch has now flipped. They can no longer buy his manipulation because their rose-colored glasses have cracked. |

Ocean_Islands | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:35 pm     It's a true character flaw: hubris -- pride. |
Theo17 | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:35 pm     how many times does roddy patt himself on the back? i'm so awesome to you, i was the big man. He is a crying lying baby. Its a game till he gets nominated then look out. Gerry acted dignified. Like a man. He didnt get mad or yell |
Hippyt | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:37 pm     I swear,I'm beginning to wish Roddy would win!!! The rest of them are just as bad,at least Roddy looks good to me!!lol |
Wendo | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:39 pm     Bastable, that's the thing with Roddy. He thinks he hasn't done anything wrong to warrant a nomination. That he's NEVER played the game. Sort of a "Whach you talkin' about Willis?" Roddy would have been better off falling on his sword, swallowing his pride, and telling Mar, Hey, no problem big guy. But Roddy can't do this. He truly believes he is the bigger guy in that house. The bigger MAN. I think he feels he's superior to the other HG's. And, in a lot of ways he is. Both Mar and Dani said today, it's impossible to debate the guy because he's always right and twists words to suit his needs. She said to Mar in the HOH, "You can't win. So, I just shut off, no point in talking to him." |
Cameltoes | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:39 pm     I loved how Marcellas talked about Roddy opening the door and allowing others to come to conclusions that are to his benefit. Roddy's own word games may finally do him in (I hope). |
Goddessatlaw | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:41 pm     I don't think I've ever seen someone so willing to compliment themselves . . . "I am a genius," "I am brilliant," "I am awesome," "I am a big man," etc. etc. yaddayaddapuke. It's almost like he went to a therapist and got off on a monolithic self-affirmation kick designed to cure him of his raging insecurities. I can actually see him saying these things to himself in the mirror at home. |
Ellenkats | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:48 pm     Goddess -- lol -- exactly. He really believed the tapes -- took them WAY TOO seriously. Now he needs to listen to the 'How To Be Humble' series. :-) |
Jan | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:49 pm     I know goddess. He is really, really scary because he is so very, very good. How would you like to face him in a courtroom. He twists everything until you are totally doubting yourself..then he wants you to thank him for pointing it out to you. I don't think he will go. I think he will talk Jason into vetoing him..or voting to evict Amy. He11, he may even talk Marc into vetoing him. I wouldn't be even remotely surprised if Amy walks out the door this week...and then you really can write the cheque out to Roddy. |
Keiffer | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:49 pm     Cameltoes... Roddy DID NOT say in his DR that he was lobbying for Gerry, but he did say he wanted Gerry to say because Gerry owed him one. You guys are forgetting one thing that was right in what Roddy said to Marcy. Marcy did make a mistake in judgement by sticking with Danny instead of him. Strategicly it was the wrong move because Roddy would have owed Marcy big time by not being put up, but he gets no bonus points with Danny for doing what he did. Marcy made this board and Danny very happy today because now Danny is like 90% sure to win the game. Good work Danny you played the same game as Roddy but only better. You got one of your people to do all the work for you. |
Bastable | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:50 pm     That kind of bluster probably works a trick in singles' bars, but after two months, the HGs have finally caught wise to it. I personally love the way Roddy manages to infuse a compliment with a seed of guilt. To Jason: "I'll be honest with ya, I trust you." To Marcellas: "I'll be honest with ya, I forgive you." To accept those "compliments," one must first subconsciously accept blame. I wanna study Roddy and learn how to influence people. It's absolutely brilliant. He should take that skill to a life of crime. He'd clean up. Maybe he should be a film producer. |
Veejay | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:51 pm     Marcellas just told Amy to tell Roddy he was willing to talk to him again.........ahhhhhhh....do you think Marc can hold out? Why would he want to put himself in that position again and soooo soon? |
Jan | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:52 pm     bastable I hear he wants to be the President of your USA! |
Keiffer | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:54 pm     ALso you guys are saying that Roddy is hurting himself with his talking. I see no way he can do anything that can hurt him at this point. The three people voting are Lisa, Danny, and Jason. No way Jason or Danny vote for him no matter what he does so at this point what difference does it make? If Lisa is smart she throws a vote to him just to try and help get the six pack vote if she gets to the finals. |
Goddessatlaw | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:54 pm     LOL, Bastable. How would you like to be one of the actors in his frigging films? He'd have to set up psychiatrist offices right there on the set. Jan, guys like Roddy aren't that rare in the legal profession. You see enough of them and you can pretty much smell them coming. Fortunately, the judges can, too. It's just the juries you have to worry about. |
Jan | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:54 pm     veejay see I told you. He will talk Marc into vetoing him!!! You watch him. Dani can hang tough on this vote and maybe Lisa can..but MArc and Jason will be conned. The veto is super super important this week.. I still think Roddy will survive |
Bastable | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:55 pm     No, Jan, we only "elect" lousy liars. |
Cameltoes | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:56 pm     Wanting Gerry to stay so he would owe him one = lobbying in my book. Why would Gerry owe him anything if Roddy wasn't instrumental in keeping him there? If Danielle and Lisa came to the conclusion to save Gerry all on their own, Roddy wouldn't be owed a thing. |
Shadowkat | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:56 pm     The veto competition should be intersting this week... no one will want to win it!! |
Theo17 | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 06:57 pm     he is like a vampire. I hope these hgs know that. Until he is out the door he will keep screwing with their minds |
Kmjm | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:01 pm     I've met many men like Roddy- not so many women. It's the unbridled confident aggression that makes them so powerful. Notice the earlier conversation with Danielle and Roddy- she says I didn't say that-he responds more forcefully you did- where is the conversation going to go? Most people would just back down. I'm married to a man who is a lot like that- he can argue something that he doesn't even know for sure is true and convince others. You can't engage in debate with someone like that unless you're prepared to get more aggressive, or you are suprememly confident and can quote sources chapter and verse- you have to instead laugh at them and walk away. I have much experience with this! Whatever else I might think of Marcellus- and there's lots I don't admire about him- at least he had the guts to say I can't do this anymore and walk away. I was screaming at Jason to do that last week. You just can't argue with someone as ruthless as Roddy! |
Cragantler | Friday, August 30, 2002 - 07:03 pm     "Marcellas just told Amy to tell Roddy he was willing to talk to him again.........ahhhhhhh....do you think Marc can hold out? Why would he want to put himself in that position again and soooo soon?" Because my jealousy theory is dead on correct, that's why. <> 007 |
