Today the houseguests get their opportunity to ask D/D why one of them deserves the money more than the other. As we've seen in past seasons, their questions always manage to rattle the 2 finalists. I can only imagine their complaints even though it shouldn't really matter to them since they said they're happy one of them wins the money, it's all in the family. Having seen for myself the real Dick and Daniele even though the game is over I can expect a lot of complaints, nonetheless. Probably Jen will have the nicest question to Dick, I bet he still won't be happy about it. Anyway, this is the only hightlight for today and then I can close this chapter for good.

What questions should the jury ask? Jen - Dick- -How would you have felt if you were home watching and Dani was subject to constact verbal abuse? Dani- Will you admit that you encouraged your father to continue the verbal attacks?

"I can only imagine their complaints even though it shouldn't really matter to them since they said they're happy one of them wins the money, it's all in the family." Spunky, no matter what they say, I believe it DOES really matter to them who wins, and there is more drama to come. Danielle cannot confide in her father, but, in her own head, I'm sure she's thinking: "I've got to win the money. I've got to win the money." She's not after second place. If Dick were to win the prize, even if he shared it with her, she'd have to be beholden to him, and the dynamics of the situation would be unbearable to her. Also, I believe Dick wants her to win, because he feels himself unworthy. He played this whole game with the intention only of winning back her heart. But her heart belongs to the money and to a favorable public perception (she wants to be America's new Janelle). She's ashamed of Dick. She feels he casts a bad shadow on her. (She doesn't realize she only does that to herself.) Only "love" from the jury and then the public will reassure her that the world doesn't hold "Dick" against her. If she hears even one wrong word from the jury, it will frighten and devastate her, and I assure you her father will pay. All the abuse he's heaped on others is abuse he has received at the hands of his own daughter. This is a very sad story, exploited by a Television Network for ratings, and one that money cannot cure.

If Dick does express his wish Daniele win the money because she's more worthy and admits he played "rough" with the houseguests to help Daniele along he will end up the hero to his already adoring fans. His reaction to the questions should be telling of his real feelings, however. I agree if Daniele takes second place it would be devastating to her as she is not mature enough to accept that kind of judgement.

I think Jen should ask Dick... "Why do you have such an unnatural obsession with me? Do I remind you that much of your mother? Have you ever thought this psychological problem may be why you have never had a decent relationship with a woman? Have you considered serious and prolonged psychotherapy"

The end will be very interesting - Their reactions will tell all. If Dick wins, will he feel bad for Dani? Will he try to convince the jury that he played a better game and should win? Will you see her jump into his arms with congratulations? If Dani wins- We all know she will throw him under the bus. "I played strategically" He was the abuser.

Aaaahhhh!! What... I'd love to hear such a question from Jen. The thing about Jen however is that if she didn't have the will to stand up to him in the house she won't start doing it as a Juror. I would be surprised though if she doesn't refer at all to his intimidation tactics. I would be bored if her only question would be: Why do you think you deserve the money more than your daughter. (come'on!!!

If Jen even attempts to ask Dick a question about his mental health she will get told to deal with her own issues and he will deal with his. He may not say it as nice as I do.

This is bound to be anticlimatic. It would be different if the final 2 were Dick and Zach. Dick would have to actually answer the questions. But in this case, Dick will probably say, "F- you! I beat you. That's why I'm here and you're there. If you don't like me, then give the top prize to Dani. I don't give a s---. Either way the Donatos rule, baby!" They're only capable of limited introspection. If they do try to explain their actions, it will be the wildest, most revisionist crap you've ever heard.

The thing about the jury questions is that we only see the edited version of the actual questions on the show, so we won't know exactly what was asked that sets of D/D. In the past, there have been F2 contestants who go on long, angry rants about certain questions and then when we see what was supposedly asked, the question seems rather benign. It's interesting, because I don't expect any good questions to come from this jury. Really, what is there to question?? They don't have the information we have. They don't know about coded letters, the AP vote (well, Eric does, but he can't say anything), that D/D apparently knew they would be in the house together, etc. All they know is that Dick said atrocious things, Dani backed him up, together they won a heck of a lot of competitions and everyone was willing to work with them BECAUSE they were so strong and such a threat. So the jury is going to go after the name calling, which won't affect Dick at all, because he takes pride in that. What they NEED to do is go after what Dick perceives as his sense of "honor". Dick has made a HUGE deal about HOW the game is played, talking about keeping his word, about not being a afraid to face a strong competitor head on, about how liars should be punished, etc. The best question that I don't think will get asked is if Eric points out how Dick yelled, screamed, called him a liar and then Dick totally lied about evicting Jessica and broke the Final 4 deal that J&E had kept. Dick, of course, will put up the whole "strategy" line as his defense, but, at the very least, Eric needs to say, "It may have been strategy, but you are still a f'n liar" which will drive Dick crazy.

Of course, we are all assuming that the questions to be asked are developed and decided by the HG's themselves. After the extensive manipulation and rigging of this summer's show, isn't it safer to assume that Allison is writing the questions?

i think bygdatty hit the nail right on the head. i would not expect anything less rude from either of them. they think they are the all time "winners" of Big Brother, but boy they don't even come close to Will & Bogie . thier diary room sessions last year had me Rolling, i so much more enjoy watching them 'ring, ring' then Dick spew his vile !!! i just want to see the reaction of the AP ! that will be a shocker !

Luv - you mention the diary rooms. The Will & Boogie show was the best. This year I don't remember ever seeing a dairy room with more than one HG (except when Amber was handcuffed to Kail) - I know they thought they showed them, because they always talked about going in to "do the dairy room" -I wonder why they didn't show them.

What may happen is that Dick will heartily defend Daniele and ask the jury to give her the money. LOL – Which may mean that they end up giving Dick the money!

The thing about the jury questions is that we only see the edited version of the actual questions on the show We get a very good idea of how questioning went from the HGs when they talk about it afterward.

Jimmer that is what i have been saying will happen. The jury will cut it's nose off to spite Dick and in the end he comes out the winner. He will tell the jury to give Daniele the money.

I think they should just blow off the bitter jury with a "whatever" attitude. Dustin's head would explode! LOL

Beekind, what I was trying to say is that, in the past, the HGs talk about the questions as if they were the most cutting, or the rudest, or even the stupidest and then we see the questions and it's like "What??? They got upset over that??" If Dick pleads for Daniele to get the money, they will give it to Dick NOT because they want to spite him but because people like Amber, Jameka and Dustin will say,"Well, he's horrible but she's selfish and just wants the money for herself." For those 3 it will still be about "the good person". I highly doubt that Jen, Jessica, Zach or Eric (if he was allowed to vote for himself) would go that way. However, I have no doubt that Eric will use it as an argument if Dick is the AP vote.

There is only one jury question over the years that really rubbed me the wrong way and was totally unfounded and uncalled for. It was back in BB5 when Marvin asked Cowboy if he was lying racist or a racist liar.

Only...that's why it's fun to watch them talk about the questioning. Last year, Erika was convinced she had won...until Boogie pointed out what some of those questions really meant.lol I hope to get a sense of who will win when Dick and Daniele talk about questioning tonight. The editing of this show has always, since season two, been fascinating to me. I will know the things that were really asked...but the TV show itself will show only what makes a good show. As for the editing...it really did make a good TV show. And hopefully it will have been good enough for them to do a BB9. lol

--you know what is really gonna bug the jury most once they find out about AP. When Dani was HOH--she and Dick wanted to evict Eric-- But Eric stayed....and with AP influence the Donatos ended up as F2 They have only themselves to blame for that one---D/D knew there was something wonky with Eric

Beekind, I do enjoy it, but then the actual questions are such a let down. I see the jury thing happening like this... Voting ends at 5 pm BB time. Between 5 and 5:30, they let Eric know that the vote is. From 6-8 pm feeds will be on the trivia as the jury questioning takes place. After the feeds return in time for BBAD, it will be endless whining and analyzing by D/D. I hate to say this, but the intelligence level of the jury, with the exception of Eric and possibly Dustin, indicates that the questioning will be boring, petty and non-provoking to Dick. On the other hand, if the jury isn't praising Dani's gameplay and competition prowess, she is going to take it as a personal affront. So basically, we'll probably see plenty of Dick cockiness and Dani whining after the feeds return. In the meantime, Eric will be convincing the others to vote for the AP winner (Dick, I'm assuming). I think he will easily convince Zach and Jessica, both of whom like Dick more than Dani. He will then use the "Dick is a better person because he did all this for his daughter" argument to sway Amber and possibly Jameka and Dustin. These people are going to make it too easy for Eric to play them one more time. The only thing that I see hindering Eric's persuasive abilities is Eric himself. From what AG said and what we saw in the brief jury house clip, Eric is a nervous wreck about the AP reveal. He may not be able to concentrate enough to but together the simple arguments he needs to sway his gullible audience.

I like Lanative's Jen question. I hope she asks something like that, although if she does, I doubt they'll air it.

Carrie.. they will have to air it IF that's her only question! Great takes by all.. Onlyhuman, I too can't wait to see what Eric will do for his last AP mandate... if he doesn't campaign for Dick to win it's either because he knows how the Jury will vote already or he really doesn't wish Dick to win the money. I don't know if his campaigning will be aired at all and they may want to keep the audience wondering as to who is AP till the big reveal.
