Scorpiomoon | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 03:57 am     Yes, Roddy would do this to Gerry. I don't think he did it with anyone else because no one else challenged, nor tried to challenge, him intellectually. I remember watching the feeds one night when Roddy made a comment about being smart and Gerry told him, "You're not smart." I had to laugh while listening to the feeds tonight as Marcellas told everyone how Roddy would make Gerry look like an idiot. The same man who told Roddy he wasn't smart was proven to not be so smart himself. |
Tobor7 | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 04:01 am     I heard Roddy explain this once. He did not do it to make Gerry look like an idiot. He did it to see of Gerry would confront him. He thought that Gerry knew he may be wrong -- or WAS wrong -- but G would not confront R. He did this to a few people to test them for some reason. It was part of his psych thing. |
Wcv63 | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 04:03 am     Scorpio...Gerry said that as a joke to Roddy. It was during the discussion about trying to get Gerry to stay during his last nomination. The nomination that officially turned Marc against Roddy because he was campaigning against Amy. Roddy made a sport of utilizing false information to "trip people up" and make them look stupid. He studied the Bible and quizzed Jason to see if he "was for real". He determined that "the kid" knew his stuff. He said something about there being "6 planets" in an effort to get someone to call him on it and correct him. Thing is, I think most of the houseguests tuned him out and just sat there politely while Roddy droned on. He certainly had a way of making even interesting subjects boring. IMO |
Oneofthegang | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 04:27 am     Do you think this behavior is part of what convinced the other houseguests that he could not be trusted. I rarely correct stupid comments (unless I actually care to the person I am talking to). My philosphy is never try to teach a pig to sign. I irrates the pig and it wastes your time. This is especial true with people that are much younger than you and think that they are smart. |

Shewrites | Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 03:06 pm     I don't think Roddy made a sport of trying to trip people up with false stories. He said that he tested Gerry, and Gerry failed, but it's not like he was doing this constantly or to everyone. I can understand why he did it. It would irritate me too, if someone was frequently breaking into conversation with, "I knew that, oh yeah... I read that," when you know darn well they didn't. Gerry did that a lot. Roddy made the comment about the six planets to see whether or not people were paying attention to what he was saying, or if they would call him on it. Big deal... It didn't hurt anyone. At least he wasn't like the rest of the HGs, trashing everyone all day and night. |
