From the first show I've been a Roddy fan. I think he has played a great game, and hope he makes it past tonight!

I can come out of the closet now. I have enjoyed watching Roddy play this game.

I know lots of people that would love to see a twist for Roddy to stay...I loved it when him and Gerry would talk about something other than the game...Roddy could take a break for the game play and have fun or talk seriously...I don't believe Roddy ever went out of his way to hurt anyones feelings...and bashing I don't believe was part of his nature...even when Amy didn't use the veto although he was upset with her...he had the decentcy to give her a hug and say it was ok...I think the show will miss an important part of the shows mix with him gone...just as much as it misses Gerry (and his morning show) being gone...We can only hope he makes it thru tonight...Roddy you had a big fan club of views out here...stay well in your life

I like to look at Roddy. I really like to look at Roddy. I will be very sad to have that taken from me. Anybody that can make as good of a "Chewbaca" sound as he can has got to be fun. Did I mention I really like to look at him?

I have really enjoyed Roddy play the other hgs, he had a great game plan when he came in and I've enjoyed all the conversations he has had with the others, especially when someone would say something to him and by the time he was done with them they were thinking just the oppisite.

I think Roddy has been the most honest HG in BB3. He has kept his word even though it has probably cost him the game. His problem was that he depended too much on trust in the BB relationships he formed and not enough on the outright lying that has given the edge to the others.

Go Roddy!

I like everything about Roddy.:)

I like his intelligence, his charm, the kindness he has shown to the HGs that are being picked on. One incident that sticks out is the meal that Gerry cooked for all of them and the other HGs refused to eat, with the exception of Roddy and Jason. They sat down and ate the meal with him. He could also be fun and made me smile when he joked around. I loved the pie fight which he instigated!

I also like his thirst for knowledge, the fact that he reads and is interested in the world at large. And I really admire his determination to play the game and stay in the game. His time might be running out, but he did not lie back and just wait for them to vote him out, he put up a fight.

I also love the way he looks, I've never been as attracted to any of the other male HGs as I am to him. He is the total package.:)

I'm going to be sorry to see Roddy go. I know he is manipulative,but so what? It's all a game.I think he's fun to watch,and of course he's pretty. I wish he hadn't hooked up with Chiara,it has ended up costing him this game.snif...I'll miss Roddy.

Roddy,

You played the game as best you could and as you saw fit. You're better off on this side, my friend.

I really LIKE Roddy. I think he really tries to play the game with integrity and honesty. He doesn't make character assasinations unlike other houseguests. He may criticize their actions but not never in a mean or vindictive way. I think he is extremely intelligent and very much like his discussions on matters not related to pop culture or the game. He tries hard to lighten the mood in the house by his anecdotes and antics. At last but not least, I think he has the charming personality and looks that just makes my heart beat faster. His chances of actually winning the game might be very slim, but I think he will be a winner in life in whatever endeavors he chooses to do. Go Roddy!

I have to say that I like the fact that Roddy didn't give up when he was nominated this time. It's made for an interesting game week, wondering if he'd get Amy to veto him, or if he'd be able to talk two people into not evicting him.

Roddy is by far my favorite HG. IMO, he has played the game with integrity and honesty that may have come back to bite him, but in the long run, I think he'll be able to look at himself in the mirror and not be ashamed at anything he has done... contrary to some of the others in the house.

I also love looking at Roddy. My favorite quirk or mannerism of his is the way he rubs his belly under his shirt. For some reason, I find that very hot!!!

His interest in the world and his thirst for knowledge is also very inspiring. It has caused me to look at life a little more broadly and to expand my views beyond my little universe. Watching Roddy's interactions and discussions with the others HGs makes me want to be a better person.

Roddy may not win this game, but from what I see, he is a definite winner at life. Chiara is right, she is lucky to have met him and to have him in her life -- everyone is.

Roddy has been my favorite houseguest.
I am really sad that he will be leaving
the house tonight. I think he is charming,
intelligent, and has been the most
honest houseguest in there. You can tell
he was always thinking about the game.
So sorry the others who call him
the devil outlasted him.

I'm going to miss Roddy. He played the game with honor and integrity. And he's not too hard on the eyes either. :)

Roddy is very bright and is curious about the world around him. I have enjoyed being witness to his enthusiasm for the beauty of nature and his appreciation for it. I hope he will have opportunities to successfully channel his various interests (travel, screenwriting, nature) in a worthwhile avenue.

As with ALL the hgs, I hope they will look back at their BB adventure with a lot of compassion, understanding, forgiveness, perspective, humility and finally humor, for themselves and their former roommates. It IS a unique opportunity, not necessarily enviable, but they can choose to make it a springboard for self-improvement and growth. I hope they each elect to make the best of it, regardless of how they played or 'were' played by others. Ultimately, it is....just a game!

I actually liked his manipulations of the other hgs. He was doing it as part of the *game* and as far as I am concerned, that is fair.

I like how Roddy talked about and liked things other than shallow, superficial stuff. He seemed to really miss higher level conversations(even though he did get some of that with Gerry). It was a nice diversion.

And yes, he is not hard to look at :)

Silver, I loved it when Julie asked him if he was manipulating people, and he replied, "Of course!"

Another moment from tonight that sticks out in my mind is when Marcellas was talking about Roddy's manipulation and all he (M) could say in return was, "I love you." I got a good laugh out of that.

Glad to know not everyone went down the rabbit-hole.

I guess I'm now a Roddy fan too. Or at least I'm not anti-Roddy LOL.

I think he's a good looking, interesting guy and hope he does well in life and have no doubts he will :)

I feel very sorry for Roddy.

First of all, he was VERY nice to Amy considering that she may very well have changed his life forever. If he was mean he could have given her his word not to evict her then (ahem) broken his promise. I wonder why he was so bent on safeguarding Lisa though (and still supports her) when she wasn't backing him. So much for playing mind games...

It seems like Roddy is being held to a different standard than the other hgs. Everyone tried to influence others and play the game, even Amy and Jason. Roddy was nicer and more straightforward than most.

Just because he has the ability to charm doesn't mean he doesn't genuinely like people. And just because everyone loved him doesn't make him evil. Judging by his family and friends, he seemed like a pretty good guy.

And I thought he played the game well. If Amy kept her end of the deal, maybe he would have won. It was big of her to apologize and big of him to forgive.

Well, it appears that Amy and Marc. are now second-guessing voting Roddy out. Too bad that they are starting to see what's really going on when it's already too late for Roddy. Not to mention all of us who loved watching him do his thing.

Darn it, I sure strained my brain trying to send telepathic messages to them before it was too late.
It does seem that it's not going to be as boring as we all thought with Marc. being so upset and shocked that Jason put him up. But I really must say that we were all right, it's just not the same without Roddy!
Did I mention that I really liked looking at him too! I hope we'll see him doing something great in the future!

Roddy seemed so together and acted just fine on last night's show. I found nothing but respect for the way he behaved and what he said. Of course, I know some people will see the opposite. I realize that some will see him and automatically attribute *everything* he says and does as being a lie or sarcastic (it's like his behavior is automatically filtered through a "reversal lens" so that any and all truth is seen as lies and whatever is good will be seen as bad), but unless I choose to believe that he is autmatically the opposite of what he appears to be, then I just don't understand that negative perception.

He played a good game and he lost....he totally accepts that and is fine with it. The only "devil" I saw on the show last night was the one that described herself as Jason's "dark side" and claimed that she would "scumbag Lisa" for the final 2.

Roddy once again rises to the top in attitude and good sportsmanship.

Good Luck Mr Mancuso!!!

I liked Roddy from the start. The show definitely lost a valuable person/player when he left. I was really disappointed to see him go.

I do not care for the way Dani spoke of Roddy (I do not agree with any of it). I know it's a game but she could of still played the game without acting and saying things about people like she has done!! She says it's all about family..nothing like teaching your girls thats it's okay to say mean & hateful things about people as long as you can get $$money$$ in return. As for Dani I hope she gets what she deserves....nothing!!

Zeyna - It ain't over til Roddy SAYS it's over! LOL <just kidding of course>

Don't write him off just YET! He may very well be back to entertain us all. Don't be surprised if one day you go to a movie and really like it....and then stay for the credits and see "Written by Roddy Mancuso" scroll across the screen. :)

One last bump from me for Roddy! :)

Loved seeing him again in the final show! I hope its not the last time we see him in TV or the movies!
