I kept the feeds on while I tossed and turned, occasionally looking at the computer screen, amazed that they were still up there. I didn't really sleep, but I found it painful to watch. Anyway, at one point I looked at the screen and it was all over, but Real wouldn't let me rewind! I hate that.

Anyway, great job of endurance by Zach and Dick. I don't know how they did it.

I do feel sorry that Zach doesn't have anyone to celebrate his win with.

At least Dani was kind and made Zach some food, and it would be hard to celebrate with someone else hurting so much. Hopefully, Zach will celebrate with his family in one week.

I didn't mean a rah rah rah celebration; just someone he could've enjoyed a Yessss! moment with, you know?

He's got a lot of inner strength, that guy. I would've been crushed weeks ago with no support. The house has been Bizarro Big Brother this year, that's for sure.

did Dick step down or lose his grip on the key? I was up at 4:11 (2:11 BB time) and it was still going on. Must have ended shortly after I snuggled back in my bed.

Dani came out and pleaded with him to stop, telling him it was okay to let the key go. He was wavering around and looked pretty out of it by that point.

Zach is an ironman. He looked like he could go for another 24 hours without breaking a sweat, no wonder Dick threw in the towel. Have to say Dick hung in there much longer than I thought he could. This competition should have been a cinch for Danielle, though, at 95 lbs you should be leaping like a freaking gazelle over that rabbit. Not surprised she didn't last based on her past endurance comps, though.

I'm also not surprised the rabbit committed suicide halfway through, the contraption looked rickety at its inception. They should have harnessed up Dani and made her run the rabbit around in a circle for the guys to jump over. Because I would have been amused.

Fantastic endurance competition in here, too. I LOL'ed when I logged in and saw a bazillion posts. Congratulations to everyone who made it through to the end, you have my enduring admiration. Looks like you had alot of fun, I'm sorry I missed it (but not sorry I got 8 hours of sleep).

Off to the races . . .

Interesting, the water being sprayed over their heads was done by people, not mechanically.

Zach said earlier, that there were two temps., cold and icy cold.

Dang...I gave up about 1:30AM Eastern, and they went almost four hours past that? I think this is the 2nd longest endurance ever (It's about on par with Diane/Jace, and of course Jennifer/Kaysar went 14-but this one was argurably a LOT tougher than those two)

What a trial for them to go thru. Anyone who says they don't earn their 500K based on that, wow! No way could I do it. Proud of Dick, he hung in there and did his best. Zach isn't the first one who has had no one to celebrate with, Janie had to celebrate by herself for the last several weeks of BB6. What a night. Thanks for all who posted during it, while I slept.

Did any of you actually see when Dani went off? Did the rabbit bar stopping there really make a diference or would she have fallen off anyway?

I can see some major contesting of this competition if she went off because of the postioning of the bar. Especially if it stopped because Zach had hit it (and the rules stated you couldn't do anything to make it stop).

I honestly don't think that she would have lasted as long as the guys and would have been the first off anyway.

I agree with whichever of D/D said it, they could have easily taken Eric and Jess in this competition. Those two are my favorites, but they would have folded much earlier.

Also have to say that I'm really glad that Dani made tea, soup, and sandwhich for Zach as well as Dick. If he'd had to do that shivering and aching, it would have been painful to watch.

Thanks to Dani for helping them both to recover.

Part 2 of competition: Is it possible to create a comp. in which someone can't throw it?

Jenf66---I didnt see when Dani went off, but read a transcript where she appologized for "breaking it"---I think when she feel off, she took the rabbit with her.

Thanks for putting me in the direction of the youtube video for it. From what I had read I thought she had jumped and didn't have anywhere to go because it stopped. Not so. It did slow way down (and did stop), but she was not in the air and falling off could have been avoided which makes me feel better about the competition.

I went to bed the same time as Wilson - around 1:30 est - how long was it til they fixed the machine?

I'm happy for Zach - I could live with one D in the F2 - not sure I could live with the both of them though

Smrtass, I knew you didn't mean that in a bad way! Sorry I couldn't respond earlier. I wish that Zach had someone to celebrate with him, too.

Carrie, I suppose most any competition can be thrown. If part 2 is something that's a timed event, the person could go slowly.

Thank you for the updates! Sorry to have to ask, but please remind me how this 3 part comp works. Zach won part 1, D&D play part 2? winner of that plays Zack in part 3? then final winner picks who to go to F2?

Thanks . .

TVwatcher they never fixed the machine. After vortex for about an hour, when they came back it was just Zach and Dick holding the keys for as long as they could til one of them dropped.

I was watching BBAD this morning as I got dressed for work. Dick's vile mouth, Dani's visible shaking and pitiful whimpering as well Zach's cool calm demeanor were all so very evident. Once I got to work I was able to read Loppes summary and once agan she did an excellent job.

Gldnlvr, you are right. D&D play part two and the winner plays Zach in part three. New HOH picks who to take to F2.
