I am very pleased to see that Dick has wimped out and left the show. I had decided not to watch the show when I heard he was on it. Now I will settle back and enjoy it.

Good riddance to bad trash.

But why oh why was Daniele given a pass so she cannot be evicted? My only guess is that the oldies were promised enough air time and stipend. Other than that, it makes no sense. If her father abandoned her then she should just have to play the show and do the best she can like everyone else.

I agree with you What, she didn't have to fight to stay in the house, or make any enemies...free ride for 4 weeks...maybe Jeff/Jordan or Brendon/Rachel should do the same!

Hi, nice to see you here again!! Yeah, I agreed with you what you said!! I don't understand why Dani has the golden key.... makes no sense.

If he had to leave for personal reasons, why should Dani not be given the Golden Key? The rules were if 1 half of a pair goes, the other gets the Golden Key. Remember in Season 9 when the one guy left, they brought back the girl from the evicted couple to pair up with his remaining partner because the partner didn't do anything "wrong."

Also, some say ED was booted because a video posting of him was made before he went into sequester but posted after the show aired was still seen as violating his contract. So, if that was the case, then why shouldn't Dani get the key?

She's his partner. He's gone. She's solo now. It's before the Top 10. She gets the Golden Key. End of story.

I suspect it's because all the challenges they've planned involve pairs, and without a pair she can't play. And they have the schedule set for the first four evictions, so pairing her with the next free person wouldn't work with their numbers, so they're stuck and have to give her a mechanism they've planned for: the golden key. There will probably only be three more golden key getters, and right now they're adapting their schedule for a few weeks' time to allow for an extra pair left.

Once agan Grodner's "Brilliant"(cough)Twist is ruined week one.

After Next Thursday 2 players will hold golden keys. This twist is stupid and Grodner needs to retire and let someone younger with fresher brain cells be the executive producer.

I think the problem was if you evicted a pair, it would be too much like Season 9 (the infamous Winter season). The comps are apparently all going to be pair-based, so it wouldn't be fair to a solo player.

It also brings some strategy into the first part of the game- I assume once they get down to 10, the remaining pairs will be dissolved and everyone plays as individuals. So you have to vote not only based on the present, but on the future.

Do you get rid of the irritant, knowing the other person is liable to be a threat to win comps? Or do you get rid of the challenge threat, having to live with someone you can't stand for 4 weeks?

Wilson, if your theorizing is correct that they need pairs, then let the remaining solo member of a pair sit out the one week there is an odd number in the house -- then link them with someone the following week.

But to give them a pass for several weeks? It simply is an unfair advantage to the returning HG's. Not fair. Not fair at all.

It screws up the "Dream Crusher Alliance" too because Dani is a great competitor and now the Oldies will need to rely on Jeff and Jordan to win next week's HOH. Rachel can't compete but I'm not sure about Brendon with the new rules.

Article at Jokers:

Evel Dick Donato Has Left The Big Brother 13 House
BY Annemarie Fraser on July 8, 2011


This is a snip - read the rest at the link...

"When the live feed of Big Brother began to air this morning Evel Dick was nowhere to be seen. What is clear from the live feeds is that Evel Dick has left the house, apparently he was called to the Diary Room and was there for a long time. It was later revealed to his daughter Danielle that he had left the game for personal reason which may involve his girlfriend. Daniele was assured it had nothing to do with their immediate family."

The only name I can find is from years ago...Reanna Mae Daniele. Surely they are not still together. I thought that was a joke back then.

That was some move from Dick (if he left voluntarily), not only will that help Dani but he'll have a great opportunity to observe and understand his daughter better than outside the house, since she will be locked up for at least a month, he'll have lots of time to observe her and maybe discover something he didn't know about his daughter, he said they didn't talk for the last three years, now he has a chance to listen to every word she says (unless she decides to hide from him even in the BB house). I found his move a very interesting one.
I don't think he was interested in sticking around for too long, he didn't see his "Jen" in the house, no one to pick apart again.. all too savvy about BB, and they know too much about him already to show them a new side of him.
I won't miss him, but if he left voluntarily, I think it was a great move to help his daughter.

"he said they didn't talk for the last three years"

I don't buy it at all. I think that was just a ploy of some kind, maybe to help Danielle gain some sympathy. When he told the others that they hadn't spoken in 3 years, Danielle had a half smirk on her face....to me, she looked like she was trying not to laugh.

i personally think something must have happened, or was said.

Much of what ED did in the house his season would have got him kicked out other seasons. think about it, scott exfactor got removed for throwing a chair. all it took was someone claiming to feel threatened and he was gone.

Jen never said she felt threatened, so Dick's tirades continued. IF someone was verbally attacked this season, they would have gone right in to Complain IMHO. this is an older cast.

anyways, this is only a theory and I am Soooo glad hes gone but i'm MAD that he stole a spot from someone else.

I would have loved to see someone else replace him since its the first week PREeviction

Moz thanks...I can't find anything in the news...so it must be personal...if indeed it is even true.

Yw Since, I couldnt find anything regarding any accident so it must be personal. Even if it has nothing to do with his gf I think Dick had to leave for something really important. I'm on the fence about Dick but I was looking forward to see if he would play the game the same way or be a little more respectful this time around.

One blog I read said his brother was in an accident. Another blog said that he was given a 24 hour pass b/c of a personal family matter. if he makes it back within the 24 hours he will be permitted to play the game and if not there will be no eviction this week. I don't particularly believe either thing...but I can't wait to find out what's going on.

ya and another rumor/ insider info said that Dick was in hospital and has cancer. the results just came in.

rumors are flying around but i think the most obvious is probably the truth.

This was posted in an e-mail I received today from Big Brother Network,"Evel Dick has left Big Brother 13 for personal reasons. As a result, she has earned the Golden Key which will keep her safe until she is only one of ten remaining HGs but she can not compete in any competitions to help her alliance. Daniele stated Dick was already on a plane back to Colorado while earlier in the night other HGs wondered if it could be related to Evel’s girlfriend. We have no other details." So wo knows.

Would it really surprise anyone if AG brings him back later with immunity for another month?
