Theon is not cut out for what he's trying to do. The first night of his campaign and he's trusting any robe-dropping slut that asks. He can't fight for the Starks now, since they're honor bound to have his head.
Renly was not two-faced or somehow different in private, he was just trying to become a different king than Robb. Renly wanted to be a king for his people to love, which has its merits since it probably means great social policy during his reign, while Robb is trying to be a king for his people to follow. It also has his merits since his would be a kingdom of laws. You should have some respect for the dead. Renly didn't bask in how people worshiped him, he understood his skill-set, his tool-kit, for being king. We see Robb developing a different skill set with all his military decisions.
