I have been on this board since Big Brother 1, and it amazes me how much things don't change. Every year this group demonizes one or more house guests, usually for behavior deemed rude or obnoxious. There comes a time when the demon can do no right. So uh...After the current Demon is evicted, (and i won't name names, it isn't hard to figure out who it is)...Who's next?

typical human nature in my opinion. I've worked in a few different places in my life and it is always the same. A person is chosen as the 'target' and reasons are concocted to dislike the person. they are too quiet, or too loud. They are funnylooking OR they are too goodlooking and conceited. It just goes on and on. Dick is used to be a "Big man" and probably is used to people kowtowing to him. Jen looked at him with an expression that wounded his ego. he is angry and made everyone else see things "His" way.

Or she's completely shallow and self centered, and Dick sees it 1000 times a day and is getting tired of it--and because of the situation of the BB house it all comes out toward Jen. And isn't it sad that it's "human nature" to always need someone to go after without regard to their real actions (in reference to what Ryan said). The human race is a pretty sad lot.

Neither of the two current noms are demons, but for next eviction I would certainly say Jen.

Naja - Have you been to the Current Happenings thread lately? Dick is sure getting the demon treatment from some.

Then if Big Brother holds true, Dustin will win HOH and save Jen.

I wouldnt go so far as to call anyone actual "demons" though. although an argument could be made that some people in the house are there to 'work thru their demons' and get some clarity / focus back into their lives.

I'm not saying Dick or anyone else on BB *is* a demon Sun, I'm saying that many fans treat them like demons, because they need a house guest to hate.

Happens every year. Kent was demonized for calling Hardy on his BS and pointing out to everyone that Will was gonna walk to the win if they let him. Plus he was so OLD! LOL Costa.

In BB any older HG's are the "odd man out" regardless of gender. It's set up so anyone older is cannon fodder because they are in a huge number minority and that equals the other not being able to relate. If the rest of the house doesn't relate to you, or you don't relate to them, then you are toast. Kent was a great example. He for the most part called it the way it ended up being. If this house was set up like BB1 where there was no clock, no work out stuff, having to compete to get a budget for food, no washing machine, etc, this group would die from not being able to take care of themselves--but only after the killed us off with severe whining.

Sher, you think Dustin? He supposedly has an iron clad alliance with Amba (to use Boston Rob's enunciation..lol). I figured the "visit" today was major sucking up. Did I miss something?

It's funny. In that BB I didn't choose sides, so to speak. I loved watching Will run that house and I loved Kent for calling him on it. You don't have to dislike a house guest just because they have your favorite pegged.

Lance, I just posted this in the "Who Cast" thread: quote:And WRT Kail's constant "old" harping... She really needs to get over herself. One of my best friends is half my age. I'm old enuf to be her mom (in fact, I know her mom really well). And we are really close friends and age doesn't matter.
So Kail playing the "woe is me I'm so much older card" just doesn't fly with me. If she walks around with that chip on her shoulder, ain't no one there gonna brush it off for her.

See that's different. If an older house guests makes being old an issue then they deserve the wrath. She doesn't have to act like she's 21 but she doesn't have to wear a sign that says "I'm old." either.

I agree Costa, and think Kail has been the only older person to take that approach. The single most vilified older person was Gerry. He couldn't do anything right in anyone's mind. Most people on the board and in the house didn't like the fact he could breathe

George could act like her was 21 because in his heart he feels that way. There were things I didn't like about George, but I sure respected him for taking on life with a smile and a laugh.

BB1 removed a lot of the demons because having alliances did no good. They focused on the issues of being kept away from the rest of the world--we got to decide who went. The production crew were the demons to that group because BB wasn't consistent in how they treated them. George digging up the back yard for loot, him almost talking them into the idea that walking out was the way to win the game. Taking care of chickens and a garden. They had only themselves to rely on. Hardy demanding power bars and getting them was the start of the HG's only having to do the competitions with everything else pretty much handed to them. Humans seem to come through for each other when things are against them. But take that away and it's backstabbing, lies, and whining that everyone doesn't just hand over the game (Mike Malin was a perfect example of being angry at anyone trying to win)

I wish Cappy were in the house so we could demonize him and kick him out again. That there was a righteous demonization. I don't dislike anyone in this house the way I disliked that guy. But give it time LOL.

But see, the publlc's need to make demons ruined BB1. We sent the main shit stirrer out week one. If the fan vote existed in BB2 we would have missed Will's antics. I may be alone in this, but I don't miss fan vote evictions.
