Jan | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 01:26 pm     Roddy said he likes to think he is the genius that is telling in the DR exactly what is going on with everyone..and they don't know he knows it. She sayd you are so like Gerry in that. He questions that statement and she told him that Gerry had said that exact thing to Josh about everyone thinking he was sleeping but he knew what was going on. He immediately got his back a little up and said there was no comparison between what he said and what Gerry said. and now he is laying it on thick about how much he really likes Amy and could see how bright she is "Not bad Roddy" he says about himself..and now he is really complimenting himself to her about how he could see the brightness in her etc etc. |

Sanfranjoshfan | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 01:35 pm     Amy asked Roddy "Have you ever gone to a a corn maze?" He thought she said "corn maize" and said "Huh? That's redundant." He cracked up when he finally realized that Amy was talking about a walk thru maze made of tall living cornstalks. Back to topic - I think Roddy is a nice guy that likes debate. I saw the convo when Amy said that Gerry and Roddy had a lot in common. I agree with Roddy....the example she stated was not relevant to the remark he made about saying stuff in the DR. He was saying he revealed stuff he believes is going on in the house and that after the game, those tapes will make him look brilliant, because he had seen what was happening all along and had the strategy of other HGs figured out. Amy compared that to Gerry saying he knew that Josh was bashing him behind his back, which was a very obvious thing. |
Sbw | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 01:36 pm     Hurry, someone check on WCV, I think she may be in need of resuscitation soon! |
Bernie | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:01 pm     That's the third time Amy has dissed Roddy this week! She annoyed him with her BB film cast list, and there were a couple of other little things I noticed at the time, but can't recall now-has the bloom gobe off the rose, for Amy? I don't think she's as all-fired gone on Roddy as Dani and Marcellas think! Oxygen for Wcv! ;-) |
Wrat1010 | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:04 pm     Roddy may like to debate but no matter how valid a point the other person makes, he never concedes that they might be right. He will shift the topic of debate into some area where the other person is not knowledgeable, and it seems that he is afraid of losing any debate to someone who he considers less intelligent than himself. If we would just give a few concessions to his opponents, maybe the others would enjoy debating with him and he would be a little bit happier and less bored. |
Eden | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:15 pm     Excellent point, Wrat. I have noticed this as well. Roddy shifts the point of the argument once someone seems equal to it. Odd, I haven't noticed Roddy being the least bit insightful in the DR as to the strategies that are going on in the house. The first four weeks of the game he seemed completely clueless as to any undercurrents of opposition to his strategy. He was very late in realizing the Jason/Danielle connection. I'm still not sure he is completely wise to the Danielle/Lisa alliance. Are they just not showing us his brilliance or is it all imagined? |
Jan | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:17 pm     Well Eden, Roddy is indeed a genius...at least in his own mind. He has told us this many times and we already know that he never lies, right?  |
Cameltoes | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:20 pm     Eden - I found his comment strange for that very reason. His DR sessions that have been shown on TV have not revealed a thing. I don't know why they would choose not to air these brilliant revelations unless, of course, he is dead wrong about everything. |
Zeyna | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:23 pm     Hmm maybe they'll show them tonight. It would actually be amusing to see someone be totally wrong about everyone's strategy so I'd think they would air it. |
Nimtu | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:26 pm     Don't you guys know that Roddy used his special powers (mind control is just one of his many talents) to telepathically relay his total understanding of all strategy to the DR. |
Goddess146 | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:34 pm     Amy was dissing Roddy to his face late last night. She was dissing Gerry. She then turned to Roddy and said "I am sorry to be talking aboutyour friend, Gerry, like that." Roddy's response was a very unhappy "How am I supposed to react to that?" She made several similar comments during the night. She was being very catty towards him and I loved it. |
Wavelength | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:43 pm     Wrat, I totally understand what people are going through with Roddy because I have been married for many years to a Taurus like Roddy. His co-workers sometimes refer to him as "Encyclopedia Man". When we talk he is absolutely sure that he knows the correct answer. Sometimes I argue and sometimes I get tired and just give in which I think these people are doing. |
Serena | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:48 pm     Interesting how Roddy can't just be 'brilliant' in the diary room. He has to TELL people that he's brilliant in the diary room, has everyone figured out, and they don't even know it. Who would want to hear something like that? How would saying that possibly benefit him? Will was smart enough to keep a low profile, be self-effacing with Nicole, etc. Roddy's ego is getting away from him. |
Maris | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:59 pm     I only just turned on today's feeds and I see Roddy in bed taking a nap. I have noticed that Roddy takes naps when things are not going his way. When he was first nominated he spent a lot of time alone taking naps and it seems that he is doing the same now. He must realize that with Marcellas nailing him last night when he approached him to dump Amy and then today with Amy making snide comments, he knows he could be in real trouble next week. Roddy worked harder on getting Amy evicted than he did with anyone else and it appears it was a failure. This is the first time his machinations have not worked. |
Jan | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 02:59 pm     serena I noticed that about Roddy also. He always has to tell people how good he is and how nice he is. Even when he was buttering up Amy about about how bright she is, it wasn't you are so bright..it was "I noticed early on how bright you were. He then said"not bad roddy" for picking up how bright she was. It became about how he was smart to see that she was smart! |
Cameltoes | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 03:03 pm     Maris - I think he might have walked in on a "bash Roddy" session they (Lisa, Dani, Marc) were having earlier. I couldn't tell for sure if he had overheard any of what they said but the tone of his voice seemed to indicate that he may well have. If he did hear anything, I hope he brings it up with Jason later. |
Trillian | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 03:04 pm     Goddess, LOL & ITA - someone who doesn't kiss Roddy's butt is a delight to behold. |
Bernie | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 03:26 pm     Trillian-I said it first-nananananana! LOL! 'running away ducking....' |
Thorntara | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 03:35 pm     Roddy keeps saying that in his first week, in DR, he said, Oh, Lori? She definitely has a shot at winning this game. The second week, Tonya? I think she's a really sweet girl, she'll probably be here for a while. He goes on and on about how every week, he goes to DR and his predictions are bad. Is this all lying to make everyone else think he never knew what was really going on? (Just a question!) |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 03:45 pm     Does anyone have any idea what Roddy's definition of "brilliant" is? Webster's definitions: 1) shining brightly; sparkling 2) vivid; intense 3) very splendid or distinguished 4) having or showing keen intelligence, great talent or skill, etc. (n. = gem cut to increase sparkles or smallest size printing available in common use). Regarding 4) - it says SHOWING keen intelligence, great talent or skill - not telling people you have it. I haven't seen the vaguest iota of a showing from Roddy that he's anything but a didactic blowhard - and he doesn't even "sparkle" at that. Garden variety. I've rarely met anyone with true intellectual brilliance who would stand there and tell me that their brilliance is a fact to be reckoned with - they let the fact speak for itself. Sure, there are the odd cases of socially disconnected geniuses who are too far off into one side of the brain without a balancing helping of the other side of the brain who may pull a superiority thing, but it's extremely rare to hear "I am brilliant" from a truly intellectually brilliant person unless it's meant as a joke. (PS most truly brilliant people could care less whether you think they're brilliant, because in their minds they know the truth. LOL) |
Goddess146 | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 03:52 pm     Truely brilliant people never comment on their own mental abilities. They do, however, note with high regard those that are more brilliant than themselves. Case in point: Dr. Richard Feynman. |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 03:58 pm     Maybe Roddy thinks he's splendid or distinguished, Goddess. Those are sort of nebulous qualities subject to personal interpretation. He doesn't fit my definitions of "splendid" or "distinguished" either, but I'll bet he qualifies for both in Chiara World. |
Draheid | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 04:01 pm     Ok, let's limit the scope here just a tiny bit ... there is no Chiara World ... maybe Chiara Ville, a suburb just across the tracks ... |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, August 28, 2002 - 04:03 pm     LOL - It's more like a habitat, Draheid. |
