oh, so I didn't miss anything. Yeah, I definitely think Ollie is just being a big ole baby about getting played(which he didn't really because I believe he would have lost that HOH anyway) I think Ollie needs a reminder that he is lucky Dan didn't put him up on the block. Dan is giving Ollie a chance to still be in the running for half a mill, but I guess he can't understand that.

The first rule of BB - Check your soul at the door. And if you're a Catholic like Dan is, when the game is over, you can go to confession and atone for your gameplay on the way to the bank.

Maybe, but he is still one lucky guy as he could be going home tomorrow night.

Dan stated you have to play this game with Ice water in your veins. I believe that is how he stated it. I agree.... you can't let personal attacks bother you and you should attack anyone on a personal level. That being said, This game is totally about relationships. The entire show is based on how to be the last one standing without TV, Radio, Supposedly, no outside contact. They aren't provided games and such because it is the intent of the show to portray how people act when they are confined to a small area with only themselves to interact with. I am sure the DR(production crew) ask questions to Stir the pot. If they didn't and everyone just got along where would the drama be.

I remember an old phrase that said something like, "Adversity builds character." But my family always liked the other phrase better, "Adversity doesn't BUILD character, it REVEALS it." In my opinion, nothing has happened to Jerry in that house that would warrant his nastiness. I know the house is stressful, but it did not "make" Jerry act this way. Nobody could "make" him act this way if he didn't have it in him to do it. As far as Ollie goes, I honestly don't even know what to say about him except that if I had ever acted like that, I would never be able to face my parents again, and they don't even GO to church.

I'm sorry. Lying is part of the game. Ollie got played. He could have stayed up there if he wanted to make all the decisions and force the action. (Kaysar comes to mind.) It could be worse for Ollie. Dan could have put him up instead of Michelle.

I don't have a problem with people who curse, it's how it's used. Some words I wish weren't used at all, but sometimes I understand the context. As far as Jerry, who cares if he's 75 years old and a grandfather? The guy was a marketing executive and a Marine. Marines are known for swearing a bit, aren't they? As far as Ollie being the son of a clergy, why should that make him special? First, who says clergy are any better than anyone else? A quick search on Google for "Catholic Alter Boys" would suggest otherwise. I've know several children of various clergy types (rabbi, minister, priest, etc...) And all but one of them was always the biggest trouble maker in the group, the biggest sl**, the biggest druggie, or the biggest drinker. Kids rebel against their parents, and children of clergy seem to rebel harder as they probably feel that they have more to rebel against. The one who wasn't a trouble maker went on to become a member of the clergy himself. Ollie's actions in the house have NOTHING to do with his father being a minister, but I wouldn't be surprised if that fact didn't cause Ollie to "rebel" earlier in life which has lead him to be who he is now. I think it's funny how he said in one of the first episodes that he never swears. ROFLMFAO! Riiiight, Ollie. Telling Memphis to "S- My D-, F-" rolled out of his mouth like it was old hat. He certainly didn't stumble on those words getting them out like a "virgin swearer." Just because someone is a grandfather doesn't mean he's not a bitter jerk. Just because someone's parent was a member of the clergy doesn't mean they aren't a loose canon. Not all truck drivers swear up a storm. Not all "people of faith" conduct themselves in a proper manner. Ollie & Jerry have showed that they aren't perfect and don't necessarily fit the mold that people have tried to stick them into.

I laugh when I think about Ollie and the statement he made on TV the first week about his father wanting him to "respect" April. Ollie's idea of "respect" differs a great deal from my own. I think the kid has a lot of growing up to do.

Hey, I used to always want to date the Preacher's son because they were the bad boys when I went to school. When they get a little bit of freedom..woo hoo. He made it quite clear last night that he was not very nice to past girlfriends.

And Ollie's parents may in fact be upset with his behavior but not going to show that to the outside world.

Ollie may have been brought up in the Church but remember he told April that when he became an Adult he left and stopped going to church. He also said that he only had one sibling ( a sister) that still believed and worshipped in the Pentecostal faith. So he has been rebelling and living a different life from his parents for quite a while now.

When we watch sports we see, and usually accept as "part of the game," things like fights in hockey. throwing at a batter in baseball, excessively hard hits in football, etc. for the most part we say something like "it's part of the game" lying and deceit are "part of the game" of big brother, and not any reflection of ones religion or morality. to say someone is "soul less" or "immoral" because they play a GAME as hard as possible is ridiculous. however, personal attacks and anger directed at one HG simply because you were outplayed is also ridiculous. finally, i am a former marine. yes my language was a bit crude when i was in combat but, as a decent human being, i re-learned acceptable social language and behavior when i returned to society. jerry gives marines a bad name.

Lafatme, don't forget Jerry was a Marine 50 years ago. So the "Marine's have foul language" excuse, well, isn't one. I've not been paying attention this past week (mostly cauze I've been out of town), but I find it interesting just how nasty Jerry has been. Nothing has been done to HIM personally, yet he takes it that way. He's been on the block twice and neither time was he the real target when it got down to it. As far as Ollie, well, he spent the first how many weeks cozied up with April. When he finally HAS to play the game, he makes a deal that he thinks gives him all the power. And when he finds out he's been played, he pulls a spoiled brat temper tantrum. Both men have been taking things in the house personally. When their alliances or they have been played, they turn nasty. The "house" isn't turning them this way. If they weren't already full of a sense of self-entitlement, they would recognize that they've been played, probably be mad about it, but... well, the actions of both when they were played speak volumes. Both Jerry and Ollie need to grow up and realize the world, or the house, doesn't revolve around them and their wants.

Has anyone thought about how Ollie must have been feeling when he thought Dan was going to go with the deal? He must have been thinking that he was going to be the man for April. Now he only looks like more of a fool. I think his "fit" he threw was more out of embarrassment because of April, then him being spoiled. Remember the veto that he didn't win for her, he didn't look like much of a man. April is very smart and he knows that, and with this "deal" he made - really does play him for a fool. I don't like Jerry and April, but didn't have anything against Ollie, otherthan, I felt he never really was playing the game of BB - rather than the game of hooking up on National TV LOL
