Julie doesn't ask Roddy about Chiara, because she wants to ask him about the fact that he sucks. Don't we all. She brings up the fact that he admitted to having manipulated everyone in the house and taken advantage of their weaknesses. She asks whether that isn't, in fact, a form of lying. Yay, Julie! I mean, it isn't really a form of lying, but it is a form of acting like a dick, so she's close enough. Roddy babbles about how much integrity he has and how playing on people's weaknesses is "not immoral to do." Along here, I start thinking a lot about what his eyeballs would look like in a jar on top of my television.
On to Tonya. Julie asks her about the "harsh criticism" she took for the way she acted. For the zillionth time, Tonya rehashes the bull about how she should be allowed to "be a mom and be sexy." I am so sending her a dictionary. With "sexy" circled.
Julie asks Lori about her short stay in the house, and asks whether she's ever thought about whether she would have "stirred things up" in the house if she'd stayed longer. "Oh, Julie, yes," says Lori, projecting her voice past the dead and very rare Bohemian Mink-Covered Snake (serpenticus furrificus) draped around her neck. Everyone laughs, because Lori is from Wisconsin. Ha, ha! Those Midwesterners! "We'll never know how things would have been different," Julie says abruptly, trying to shut her up.
Moving along to Gerry, Julie asks whether his students think he's cool now, or whether he takes abuse for the things they saw. (I would think the lack of hand-washing would be a likely target for, say, sixth-graders. "Good morning, Mr. Poopyhands!") He says there's some of both, but he doesn't mind. He says that, fortunately, he was perceived as a "pretty cool teacher" before, so he's even cooler now. Gerry? Yeah. Quit while you're ahead, dude.
Julie reminds Marcellas of the time she whacked him in the back of the head with a card. He recalls that. "Did arrogance cost you this game?" Julie asks, in an unusually straightforward and un-Julie-like fashion. Much to no one's surprise, Marcellas says that arrogance didn't cost him the game -- his sheer wonderfulness and purity of heart cost him the game. He loved everyone, so his pure and true heart simply could not survive. It was sort of like Edward Scissorhands, the way Marcellas describes it. Get. The. Hook.
