Purelove | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 09:53 pm     This article proves yet again what a good person Roddy is for those of you who still had doubt(s). Instead of calling those who hate him "spawns of Satan" or "devils", he took the high road and used his trademark kindness and affectionately dubbed those who had less than kind things to say "dopes".... y'know like you are so dope man! Heck the man went out of his way to save the reporter from believing people who lie about catching 3-eyed fish! And doesn't saving people make Roddy a hero? Do heroes lie and manipulate? I think not! Can't we all just learn to love each other a lil' bit better? Roddy is a good person! How many time does he have to repeat it until you people see the truth? Love, hugs and kisses to all those who have contributed to this thread. XOXOXOXOXO to infinity! |
Misslibra | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 10:07 pm     Roddy sure was a lot nicer about it then some of the words use to describe him. And then to be accused of influencing the vote. There is only so much a person can take before they come back fighting. There is a old saying that I'm sure you all have heard before... "if you can dish it out, you should be able to take it". |
Wendo | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 10:47 pm     Purelove, I honestly can't tell if your post is serious, or sarcasm. Dunno. Misslibra, I have no problem with Roddy dishing back at his critics. Have at it. If it makes HIM feel good to do it at the expense of others, in this case sick kids, well, ok then. If that floats your boat. C1mag, interesting points. (And, I agree.) Richardfan, funny, from what I can read, YOU brought the word HATE into the thread, no one else did. As far as my comment about not desiring to meet Roddy in person, how does that say I hate him? Uh, it doesn't. It simply means I have no desire to meet him. (I feel that way about all the HG's.) You can try and use my words to support your feeling that people "hate" Roddy, however, you're using my words incorrectly. We are all not going to LOVE each and every houseguest. (Apparent this year, if you hadn't noticed.) (Oh, and nice backhand insult that Roddy should be worried should he meet some of his non supporters. Do you really think those who aren't impressed by Roddy would do anything to him? Talk about "ridiculous" and a "joke".) Richardfan also said, "Roddy is absolutely 100% right and apparently his remark hit too close to home for some people. The posts in this thread prove it." Oh, lookey here, another veiled insult. Are you calling us dopes too? Gee, thanks so much Richardfan. If you weren't here to hold that mirror up for us, I don't know what we would do?! (edited for errors) |
Misslibra | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 10:59 pm     Roddy's remarks I see really did hit some nerves. I knew some of you would want to add the sick kids to his remarks perhaps to beat him up more. But you know good and well one has nothing to do with the other. Some of you are doing the same thing your accusing Roddy of doing, and that is using the kids, to try to make a point. Make your point but you really don't need the kids to do it. But then again I guess some of you do. |
C1mag | Saturday, October 26, 2002 - 02:42 am     Puerlove... You made me laugh!! Misslibra.. You wrote "Make your point but you really don't need the kids to do it" ... Wow please find Roddys email and send him that suggestion! Wendo!!! Glad to see you're still around. |
Shewrites | Saturday, October 26, 2002 - 03:23 pm     ::C1Mag said - The real question is... Would Dani or Jason mention that they were visiting terminally ill kids " who liked them on the show" ? Or would they just say they were taking the opportunity to volunteer at a childrens hospital and leave it at that? :: What difference does it make? How do you know that when he said, "Who liked me on the show" he wasn't just offering that as an explanation of how the meeting came to be? I took it that he meant he visited some children who had expressed a desire to meet him. His suggestion that he couldn't have done this a few months earlier, I took to mean that he felt no one would have been interested in meeting him before he was on the show. The problem here, I think, is that some are reading things into every little thing Roddy says, searching for something negative. Everything I have read here is opinion and assumption. It's fine to have an opinion, but assuming things and presenting them as facts can be dangerous. |
Scarlett | Saturday, October 26, 2002 - 03:33 pm     Remember the movie Quiz Show? Does anyone think of Roddy and his family like the blonde headed guy Van Something or other? I was trying to figure out the vibe he gave me, and that is who he reminds me of. |
Crossfire | Saturday, October 26, 2002 - 03:36 pm     I think this is all absurd and could have been avoided if not for the ridiculous highlighting and spin in the subject heading and first post on a throwaway sentence of an otherwise fine article which actually says a bit more about Roddy than others I have read which are usually so sterile you could do surgery on them. |
C1mag | Saturday, October 26, 2002 - 06:41 pm     Shewrites I took it as nothing more than grandstanding on his own part at the expense of terminally ill kids. I thought it was sad and classic Roddy at his best... He's still the same outside the house. Looking for validation by pointing out what he beleives to be his best qualities and reminding the viewer that someone, anyone out there REALLY likes him. I respect your observation but I see it different. I will never believe it takes celeb status to give your time to termninally ill kids. it's a touchy subject to begin with and when you are bragging about it with the comment that "They liked me on the show" it just comes off wrong. Once again thats how I read the article. |
Cmore | Saturday, October 26, 2002 - 07:29 pm     C1mag, Are you saying football and Baseball stars are smucks because they spend time with terminally ill kids and their respective groups boast about it? Did you ever consider that it really lifts a kid's spirits when a celeb comes to see them versus some ordinary person? It makes them feel special and it is important to the kids. The NFL uses it in commercials to promote the NFL and its players, but Roddy is a bad guy because he mentions it in a interview? PLEASE!!!! What purpose would it serve for him to visit kids that DIDN'T like him on the show? At least he is taking the time to do it and if it makes a difference in one kids short life, then its a worthwhile purpose, no matter what you think of Roddy. |
Misslibra | Saturday, October 26, 2002 - 08:03 pm     If you send Roddy a e-mail you would also have to put a few of you on that list to. At least he is taking the time to do it and if it makes a difference in one kids short life, then its a worthwhile purpose, no matter what you think of Roddy. Cmore, I like that.  |
Risa | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 02:11 am     Roddy is a smuck because he tried to convince two women(possibly three) and a gay man that he might consider a intimate relationship with each one of them outside of the house. He is a fake with the personality of a crooked salesman. |
Crossfire | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 03:11 am     Of course you meant to say he behaved like that in the game, not actually is one right? In the game, that would be considered fair play. Bashing and calling the houseguests names outside the house is not permitted. |
Purelove | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 08:25 am     Crossfire, You hit the nail on the head. Bashing and calling the houseguests names outside of the house should be prohibited because it is ... well ... not a product of love and just not nice! I'm so glad that Danielle reserved her bashing and calling Roddy the devil just within the confine of the house, because that was part of the game. Likewise, Roddy name called the HGs only in the house; and in the game never resorted to calling people something uncalled for like "the devil", instead he again takes the exemplary path and employed "stupid possy", "pus-sy", "scaredy cats" [Click Here and/or Click Here]. Roddy is just too good to be true, sometime I just have to pinch myself, then pinch myself again ... and I'm beginning to love pinching myself ... hehe. But I would have to disagree with you Crossfire, the good thing is that Roddy is the same person in and out of the house, that's what makes him so unbelievably incredible! "'I am the person who they saw on the show,' Mancuso said. 'Whenever I went into the Diary Room, I imagined my grandfather sipping coffee next to me.'" [http://www.dailyrecord.com/lifestyle/02/10/16/lifestyle10-bigbrother.htm] How can people think Roddy is this manipulative devil? The Devil just does't have a grandpa that he imagines sipping coffee with! Can't we all get together and powwow for world peace? I love you people so much, you are really an amazing group of people! Love, hugs, kisses, smoochies... XOXOXOXOXO to the googolplex power. |
Goddess146 | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 09:43 am     Roddy is talking about me (one of the dopes who did not care for the way he acted) after exiting the house. Why should I not be allowed to talk about him? |
Risa | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 11:55 am     Exactly Goddess. |

Shewrites | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 02:28 pm     C1mag, I understand what you are saying, but I just think you are reading a lot into it and making a lot of assumptions. You don't know what his intent is, or how the conversation even came up during the interview. You are entitled to your opinion, though. I'd also like to point out, again, that the article doesn't specify exactly who Roddy considers a dope. It doesn't say that anyone who disliked the way he acted is a dope. It refers to "a few dopes on the internet." There were a lot more than a few people who disagreed with him. But only a few went to the lengths of creating ridiculous websites full of lies and exaggerations, or went from message board to message board posting ludicrous theories on mind control. Those people are the "dopes" he is referring to, IMO. |
C1mag | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 05:49 pm     Cmore... Who called anyone a "SMUCK" ? I'm gonna have to check into the NFL for those ads that promote both the players and the NFL with terminally ill kids as their poster children. If it does exist that is sad. Is it the NFL that does the promotion or is it each player saying to the public that they contact terminally ill kids that like them? Just curious. You asked.. What purpose would it serve for him to visit kids that DIDN'T like him on the show? Wow...why would that matter? I'd put the kid first before my 15 minutes of celeb status if I were doing it as a service to the community and not for my ego so it wouldn't matter if the kid liked me or not on the show. The kid is terminal. He can go ahead and hate me. I'd still be there. I DEFINITELY agree with you on only one part... AT least he is taking the time to make a difference. I just don't like how he uses it to HIS benefit and self glory. purelove you are still making me laugh!! Goddess I totally agree!! |
Ilovewill | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 06:38 pm     Oh oh, Amy mentioned that she too is volunteering with terminally ill children with the make a wish foundation and ronald mcdonald foundation (along with Roddy and Jason). That girl is doing something good for the kids but has the nerve to mention it! What a bad person! I wonder what everyone thinks of that. In case you couldnt tell I am being sarcastic. |
Misslibra | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 07:07 pm     I think the only reason Roddy found himself talking about the internet and what people think about him is because who ever did the interview asked him these questions while he was visiting the sick children. Otherwise I'm sure he would have never brought them up. I would say that was not the time or place to ask him something like that, but he apparently was asked, and expressed how he felt. And by his response you can tell he was hurt by some things said about him. And if your not a dope it don't apply to you. C1mag, Wendo or any of the rest of you who got offended by this shouldn't. I don't consider any of you dopes. The person who asked him this while he was visiting sick children IMO was the real dope. |
Lurknomore | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 08:29 pm     Let me see if I can sum this up (as I personally see it). There is some teeny weeny article where Roddy said one nice thing that could either be 1) for PR purposes, or 2) because he has some nice qualities along with being the manipulative person we saw all summer. Possibly even a combination of the 2. Because of this, those of us who ever said anything negative about Roddy are then put down and called dopes by someone who uses a name about love??? It's me or it's the rest of the world and ya know what? It's NOT me lolol. I will not get into personal slinging here, but I would suggest that what makes the world go round is respecting each other and their opinions whether any individual finds them "dopey" or not, and believing an online article that could be put out for any purpose and basing an entire belief system on it is either silly or manipulative...you take your pick. Me personally, I never called anyone anything negative for liking Roddy and don't take too kindly for being put down for having a different view. |
Misslibra | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 11:46 pm     I didn't know he was putting down everyone who ever said a negative thing about him? I guess I better go and read the article again. If that is the case then I'm in with the dopes. LOL Now if he would have said dopey, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad since dopey hung out with Snow White. Yea, I bet that is what happen. He was asked about Snow White and started talking about dopey and the interviewer took his whole comment out of context. And for the record I know for sure Roddy was not talking about anyone at TVCH/BBFC because dopes are not allowed here. |
C1mag | Monday, October 28, 2002 - 02:40 am     ok Misslibra you are getting just way too mushy on me. |

If a sick kid didn't like you or as you stated "hates" you, then you would really be doing the kid a dis-service by being there. Most people (kids included) don't wish to be around people they don't like even when they are well, much less sick. |
