ITA Mummy :-) <77 - for continuity only>

There was absolutely so much negativity from these 2. Take Dick out of this season and I bet we would of had a great show. JMHO

I just noticed on the chart in Important House Happenings that Dani has won 2 HOHs and 5 POVs with Dick has won 3 HOHs and 1 POV. Being as how he's second overall in comps, I don't think anyone could say he rode anyone's coattails. He played the game AND the comps

Dick to win!

He played the game honestly throughout.

I'm going to have to assume that was written with tongue in cheek, considering he went into the game with a plan in place to cheat

The main reason Dick made it to the end was hgs kept him there because everyone thought they could beat him in the end. His daughter included. AG wanting a good story didn't hurt either. Do I hate Dick? No. I save my hate for something important.

I can't answer a question of who deserves the win. LOL. I've thought about it several times but when I put Daniele at the top I can't bear the thought. Then I change it up and put Dick at the top and I start having little heart attacks.

This is a tough one. The toughest! If someone had me down on the ground, foot on my chest and a gun pointed to my head, I think I'd have to say Dani..er..Dick..uh..Dani...no, Dick. OMG, I think I'd rather die.

I don't like either one of the Donatos, but if one of them has to have the win, I guess Dick should be it. In the key comp. it was Dani who told her Dad to "say something to distract Zach". Of course Dick could come up with mean things in an instant because they are always running thru his evel head, but watching little Dani snickering and laughing at every word showed just who was the most evel..She is like the bully on the playground who gets someone else to do her dirty work, then the other "kid" gets sent to the office. I'm not excusing Dick, but it was actually Dani who started that mean distraction.

I suspect that many here may be partial to Dick in part 'cause they can appreciate his game play from an age stand point. He did give it all he had and was very effective in ways that were subtle and not so subtle.

But as for who will win, I'm thinking that the jury is young and most of what they saw was Dani winning comp after comp and generally treating them civilly.

Hmmm. A couple weeks ago I would have definitely said "Dani". But upon thinking about it, I feel Dick should win. I have many reasons, but one that sticks out is when Dick took Daniele off the block with him still being up. He then worked really hard to get Dustin out rather than himself and I think that was a big turning point in the game.

They both fought hard to win.

I hope Dick wins simply so I can enjoy the fall out. I think it will be a boring read if Danielle wins. If Dick wins then I will have lots of "oh the abuser won" stuff to read and keep me entertained for a bit. I can see the articles in my mind already.

At first I said Dani deserves to win because she won more comps and was a bigger target throughout, but I have changed my mind. Dani had her dad there to rattle the houseguests before most of the comps, he saved her butt when she was at the greatest risk, and he carried her through to the end. It really was Dick that won comps when needed the most. I still believe neither one of them would still be in the game w/o AP, but since the other jury members do not know that yet, I feel Dick should win over Dani. If the jury votes emotionally, I have a feeling Dani will win even with AP just b/c Dick hurt every one of them on a personal level and they may think Dani needs it more. JMO.

I think many people with Dick mostly only focus on the pots/pans, Jen thing (99% due to Dani!) and not:

1. The fact he worked his butt off the whole game.

2. Was working things, establishing things, dealing, making friends, strategizing while Dani hid in the bedroom for the first 3-4 weeks.

3. The fact that the guy did indeed make friends at many points in the game, showed respect to others and showed interest in them as people when Dani couldn't be bothered "I want to go home, I hate these people".

4. Also won a boatload of comps and worked his butt off.

5. Was fun/amuzing/entertaining to & with the other HGs.

Dick's been under the most pressure, the most stress, worked the hardest, took the fall for everything, won comps, strategized brilliantly and most of all IMPLEMENTED their strategy.

Oh yea, and talked to us 24/7 since arrival. Bless him for that one thing alone - Thanks Dick.

GO DICK!

Meagain: I agree - Dick would have been more likeable to me and it would have been easier to root for him without the extreme tirades. It is hard for me to look past that. I felt he took it too far and should have been given a penalty nom on a couple different occasions. However, at the same time, I also agree that he was fun to watch at times (during beer pong), he played the game, and even if he offended each and every houseguest on a very personal level, he did have a better relationship with them than Dani did. I really liked his softer moments (I even cried during the bunny comp). I just wish we would have seen more of it. JMO.

People didn't want to get on Dick's bad side and risk his wrath. I don't consider that a relationship, and I don't think most of them like him. They were using him and Dani as a means to an end but got outplayed by Team Donato. While Dick did win the final HOH when he needed to, I feel it was Dani who orchestrated most of their strategic moves along the way, and I think she'll win.

My first posting this season............do any of you think that Dick might roll over and give the game to Daniele? Tell the jury to give it to her? I could possibly see him doing this just to prove his love. I think he is too competitive to do that but could happen. They surely were not my favorites but I think Dick needs to win.

Welcome to posting!

That's an interesting possibility Hopper. I suggested that in another thread. I also suggested that ironically the result may be a win for Dick.

lol, Tres...maybe "relationship" is a little too strong of a word in this situation. He took more time to get to know them than Dani did. How's that?

It may be a lesser of two evils kind of thing. IMHO, I believe the jury will give it to Dani for winning 7 comps as opposed to Dick's 4. They all viewed Dani as a bigger threat strategically and competition wise, but then they may consider that she had more help than the rest. Also, they may think Dick played the hardest in the end b/c of the 7.5 hour comp. I do think AC will be Dick. Can Eric pull of his incredible persuasion again or did he lose credibility? Who knows what they will do...lol. I still hate that the Donatos made it to the F2 at all, but it is what is...

Hopper, welcome to TVCH!!! I could see Dick doing that and it backfiring...lol. I saw him a couple times trying to justify to Daniele that he played the game too and that she didn't just carry him, so he may do that again. Then again, he may not need to since he is the one who came through in the end.

At any rate, it will be interesting to see how the jury questions turn out and whether Dick and Dani end up arguing about it. There seems to be a bit of a competition thing between them, IMO.

Thanks for the welcome guys! Been too busy catching up on threads to post! I hope if Dick does choose that road it backfires on him. I really don't want to see Daniele win. Time will tell.........

Hopper, Welcome! I'm afraid a move like that by Dick would backfire because the jury is in control now, and I don't think they'd take kindly to being told how to vote. He'd do better to trash them all and manipulate them into voting for her.

While I agree that Dani spent most of the first month with Nick and a full week after his eviction mourning him alone in the HOH room, I think it's a tossup as to which one knew the others better. Dick talked a lot but how much did he listen? When they were reviewing a few days ago, it seemed to me that Dani knew far more about the cast than Dick did.

Klaw, I agree with you that AC vote goes to Dick, and we know how persuasive Eric can be. I'm not sure that his loud voice will be the deciding factor. My hope is that Jameka, who is liked by all, will guide them in reasoning it out. I only hope the jury will be all right with their decision once the AP twist is revealed. I congratulate the winner whomever it may be!

I never thought I'd say this, but Dick should win. He outplayed everyone, including his daughter.
