Roger is such a putz. - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Nancy O's boyfriend Roger seems like such a loser. He never visited the dorm, he snuck off with Blair to go see Mikhail Baryshnikov, he made Nancy O. come to his car in the rain in the flood episode, he never offered to help Mr. Bradley to get the sand bags. What a putz.

Well, I don't think boys were encouraged to come to the dorm---even Jason (Blair's "Romeo") didn't go past the doorway. As for Mr. B., wasn't Nancy going to be busy doing something else at the time? And he wanted somebody to go with. And we didn't hear the phone call in "Flash Flood"; maybe Nancy told him just to drive up the front and she'd meet him out there. As for the sandbags, actually---and this is the first time I've ever noticed this!---he may not have even ever made it over to the dorm? Something about her phone call to him when she's in the bathrobe and has the towel on her head. Doesn't she tell him not to try coming over or something? Something about keeping his Subaru safe or dry..."That car has soooooo many memories, Roger."

One thing you can say about Roger---he's very easily excited. He gets excited in haircuts, if we're to believe Blair, lol.
