I feel bad for him, what if he had a life long friend who was dying and needed him. From the show we could tell he was loving being back. It must have been big for him to leave. I for one respect him and will not rush to judge him for his actions.

Maybe CBS/BB asked him not to say anything until after tonight's show, as they do like to maintain the illusion that if it hasn't happened on the show it hasn't happened at all.

I'm glad he made a statement so we know what happened, and glad he's respecting the person's privacy. (And glad people were kind enough to post what he said here, so I didn't have to wait to watch the video myself!)

Ditto Scubalass and KS. I've never been a ED fan but ya' gotta respect someone who doesn't flinch when it comes time to step up for a friend despite the worst possible timing.

Prayers for his friend, whoever it is, as well as all who are working through whatever the emergency is that caused ED's departure.

I also thought that his statement was very well done and very respectful to CBS, the cast and the fans. I am sorry for whatever is happening and I respect his privacy.

If he left because a friend needed him, then that is something I have to respect. I think he really wanted to be on the show. He seemed to be loving it and to be having a lot of fun. I don't think he would have left unless it was something very important. I hope whatever happened is better now.

Strange. I thought they weren't supposed to get news ever unless it was the illness or worse of a relative. Whoever it was, Dick must have had some kind of specific rider about him/her because he knew something might happen.

I know many here don't like ED and Rachel, but from what I've seen & heard, both seemed to be playing very differently. Of course, it helped that there wasn't someone who they immediately got into conflicts with.

As for ED leaving, I gotta give him respect not only for leaving to "be there" for this person, but also for not violating this person's privacy by telling us who it is and what happened. It sounds like someone very close as he said the person had "been there" for him on many occasions. It also sounded like it was potentially very serious as TPTB actually came INTO the DR to tell him, and that ED actually seemed to stop himself a couple of time when it seemed he might have started to choke up.

It's too bad as I would have liked to have seen how it all played out. I hope for the best for his friend because it must be (or had been) pretty serious.

I never thought I'd use these words anywhere near each other, but ED was very classy in how he handled this by trying to "be there" for his friend, for not violating the friend's privacy, and for apologizing to CBS/BB and the fans. Yes, he did say KMA to the "haters," but in that circumstance, I might have as well. But everything else he handled correctly and with class.

Maybe his friend will give him permission to say what it was (without telling who it is,) but if not, that's fine. We don't need to know all the gritty details.

@Goddess,
It's possible that each HG has a rider as to be told or not to be told about external things depending who or what, or perhaps this person (or someone on their behalf) contacted CBS/BB. ED said in his video that this was nothing that was known to him prior to going into the house, that it came out of nowhere and "knocked his socks off."

Well, we will know on Wednesday night and then he can start blogging.

AG was going to milk as much as she could for tonight and Wed.

He and Dani did some game talking on tonights show and she seemed pretty happy.

Another thing comes to mind.

It took a very long time (hours) until they called Dani in.

I suspect that they tried to talk him into staying.

bah humbug, like i said way back when, i think it was a backup plan to give ED a chance to back out before feeds started.

IF this was legitimate, there is NO need to wait for days before saying a simple "my friend needed me".

Timing makes my theory the most plausible. It was Directly before feeds were supposed to start. Any good friend of ED would know that he lives n breathes BB. i dont think ANYONE would be selfish enough to tear him away..... unless he had arranged for them to give him an OUT. Dani getting the Key was bonus.

JUST a theory and we'll see more on weds. The HGs said he went to DR wearing only swimshorts and never came out. We'll see if that is true too.

Now why would the pic stay coloured and NOT go dark til the next day?

None of this makes Real sense... but its fun to theorize

I'm guessing putting a video online wasn't his number one priority. Also, he may have been respecting the wishes of CBS/BB in waiting.

Just "theorizing"...
His picture probably stayed in color so AG could get further footage to use for tonight and possibly Wednesday as well. The POV timing appeared to be rushed, as if they were trying to move things along a little faster so they could get the footage before BWing his picture.

Total curiosity remains by Ed statement. But privacy of others I know reigns and I accept that believe him and will force myself and rambunctous curiosity to move on. Ed has been my fab player will miss him totally.

Llrpurch... ED was still there for the nomination ceremony so there would be no reason for his picture to fade to B&W. The POV ceremony was not rushed. The entire schedule is "off-kilter" until the first live show which will be this Thursday.

Oh, I must have given the impression I don't like ED. That is not the case at all. I do like him and was interested to see what he was bringing to the show this time around.

I also admire him for walking away from something he is so connected with for a friend. That and his loyalty in protecting his friends privacy.

My beef so to speak is about all the hype of waiting for the announcement to be made on a certain day, on certain website. If there was nothing to be be revealed, just say, nothing will be revealed. It is my business and my business only. Rumors are not true. Over and done with.

I have no idea if it was CBS or not. I just know for me is it had the same ending as, Al Capone's Vault.

I have the impression that Dick is an intensely loyal friend. A challenging one, but intensely loyal. If you're in, you're in for life, but if you're out woo doggies run for the hills.

ED's statement seems to be a carefully crafted one intended to gain as much publicity from this as possible for both him and the show and stretch it out as long as possible.

The more I read, the more I think this was all planned from day 1 by BB. It is nothing but a sham.

I'm not so sure I believe it either - sure, he may be a loyal friend, but would AG jeopardize her show and ratings for someone's friend? I don't see it....

I feel similiar to Biloxi I'm not speaking just of Dick but CBS as well. Why the wait and build up? Why on Dick's website and not from CBS? It was a very well done video. I watched it and liked it. I feel though that it could have been handled better if done through CBS and not on his personal website.
