Rodney Mathews talks Eliza flip-flopping
Entertainment Tonight caught up with Rodney to get the scoop on Eliza and the reunion. Just to recap, Eliza has been wishy-washy throughout this whole process. When Justin returned to the beach in hopes of something happening with Eliza, she did go on a date with him.
She went on the date telling Rodney that she was upset he didn’t beg her not to go. In the end, she gave her rose to Rodney. However, the next day she broke up with him saying she wanted to give Justin another chance.
Eliza went to Maryland to try and get Justin back. He turned her down saying he wanted to be chosen first and not be her second choice.
At the reunion, Eliza said it was really Rodney she wanted all along. He turned her down.
Now he said, “It felt very back and forth. I didn’t know what to do or what to make of that situation or that information.” He continued, “To be honest with you, it was very difficult. I was once again speechless, confused. I didn’t really know what to say. It was a very tough situation.”
He went on to say that Justin was also confused and said it all reaffirmed to him that he made the right decision in regard to Eliza. Justin said, “It gave validation to my point of having hesitation in taking her back, because I was afraid she’d flip flop again or have doubts about this choice.” He continued, “It just proved me right that she did. That’s the first time I had heard that it was Rodney all along… so I’m just processing everything all over again.”

Will Rodney ever give it a go?
It doesn’t sound like he’s going to change his mind. Rodney said he felt hurt and humiliated by all the flip-flopping Eliza did. He said it’s probably just best for them to take a step back.
He said, “I think, at the end of it all, she’s an amazing person. I just want her to be happy. I know she had a very tough decision to make… Although I don’t agree with the way she made that decision, I hope that, at the end of the day, she’s still happy and finds love.”
As for Justin and Rodney’s friendship, they are great. Both are mature level headed men who were able to move past it all. Rodney said he is cool with everyone and just wants everybody to be happy and find love.
