Quick Vote ... Did Roddy influence the vote?:
Archive through October 16, 2002
C1mag | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 06:52 pm     Without any doubt YES, YES, YES!! He was the first to contact many of the evicted once they got the ax after him. He made sure that they remained "hurt" by Dani's deeds to divert any praise of her game. I believe his comment to Dani when he started talking to her durring the final questions was.. "you have hurt a lot of people" that was his goal. Remind them of the hurt so that the vote would be all about getting even. He never told them how to vote he just made sure that they only fealt the hurt. Thats called influence. It's very subtle and it's very powerful. He's awesome at manipulation. People forget it took 3 trys before he actually got pecked off. How he managed to avoid complete nomination durring Jasons first hoh was brilliant. He ALMOST had Amy throw herself on the sword for him as well. He may not have won, but he stayed much longer than many thought he would. Even Woodpecker thought that house would peck him off before Josh and sure enough he stayed. |

Romans8_1 | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 07:20 pm     yes 9 no 11 undecided 1 |
Muse | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 07:37 pm     Yes. But it's not as black and white as some people think, IMO. Roddy probably tried to pursuade some people, but it's probably safe to say that some of the other evicted HGs did as well. He might have had a stronger influence than some other people (being as charismatic as he is), but I wouldn't say that he changed the overall outcome. Or that he was the single reason some of the swing votes went the way they did. |

Reeniehere | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 07:59 pm     YES |
Hobobabeusa | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 08:10 pm     I vote, YES. He seemed quite a persuasive character inside the house, and given the fact that so many evictees mentioned that they spoke to Roddy, I suspect he would use his persuasion to influence the final vote. It's only natural. |
Sherbabe | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 08:11 pm     ABSOLUTELY! The last show smelled of Roddy. |
Sia | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 08:11 pm     Yes. I second what Muse said. Well spoken, Muse. |
Risa | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 08:34 pm     I vote yes. I am no fan of Dani's(in fact I can't stand her)but always felt she was right about Roddy. In fact I think Dani and Roddy were very similar and recognized that in eachother. I have seen alot of after house pictures of Roddy hanging out at differant places with Marci, Amy, and Chiara. He had some strange hypnodic effect on all of them. I think he still does. |
Ozarktracy | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 08:43 pm     No. I don't think he did. LISA gave them all the reason they needed to vote for her (IMO) when she turned down the money in favor of having everyone receive a phone call home. |
Bailey | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 08:57 pm     No.. the final vote was all Danielle's doing. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 08:58 pm     No |
Romans8_1 | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 09:20 pm     yes 15 no 15 undecided 1 with a margin of error +/- 15 |
Shewrites | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 09:27 pm     No... it's a ridiculous suggestion, IMO. Each and every one of those people were perfectly capable of making their own decisions, and had valid reasons for voting for Lisa over Danielle. To the person who said, "He was the first to contact many of the evicted once they got the ax after him." How do you know that?? Big deal if he was pictured with other houseguests... they were pictured with him as well. Maybe they influenced him. (Said facetiously.) |
Lurknomore | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 09:28 pm     I vote YES! I don't think Dani would have won it, but I do think the score wouldn't have been what it was without his influence. JMHO |
Calico | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 10:24 pm     Yes. |
Trisha1 | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 11:25 pm     Absolutely NO. Danielle was responsible for the vote against her--the only one responsible! |
Battlestar | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 11:44 pm     No---the HG have their own brains...and they were no longer in an closed environment. Anyone who thinks that Roddy has some magical power that can make others do his will is fodder for a cult |
Lyn | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 11:54 pm     Yes! |
Tobor7 | Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 02:48 am     yes |
Romans8_1 | Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 05:23 am     Yes 19 - These say Roddy did influence No 18 - These are people under Roddy's influence and don't know it Undecided 1 - Fighting Roddy's influence, but still cloudy Just kidding. I think we can agree that there is not a clear majority on the board either for or against. For those that think we are crazy who say 'Yes', I think I speak for most of us when I say we don't think he got all nine to vote for 'Lisa'. We think he did swing a few votes. I still think Lisa would have won, just not by the margin she did. In my opinion (I hate having to state IMO, since it obvious it is, but if I don't then someone will ask me for facts when obviously most people operate on intuition most of the time anyways since 'facts' are obviously interpreted; as is proven every single day on this board by both sides) there was definate influence on Amy, Gerry, Lori, and Josh. |
Scotia_Nova | Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 06:09 am     Yes! I absolutely believe Roddy influenced every single EH. |
Lurknomore | Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 06:30 am     Romans you definately speak for me when you said that...oh wait...I DID say it lolololol |
Prisonerno6 | Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 06:48 am     Romans, Gerry changed his mind about Danielle before Roddy was ever evicted. In his parting interview at CBS he said at one point he wanted Danielle to win, but not so much any more. In an online chat, he stated that he was most disappointed with Danielle and Marcellas, and if it came down to a choice between the two of them, he would abstain. As for Amy, according to her website, she changed her mind about Danielle as soon as she saw the trashing Danielle did on the tapes. This was before Roddy talked to her. Lori could easily have decided not to vote for Danielle because of the blow up over Gerry's handwashing, and Josh's friend Furry has stated that Josh's vote came down to Lisa not accepting the $15,000 for the vote. Saying Roddy influenced the vote is like saying Marcellas or Jason or Tonya influenced the vote. I'm sure they made their feelings known to the others and gave good reasons to vote one way or the other, but people made up their own minds. Danielle lost first place all on her own. |
