I know that Dick and Dani talked about wearing hats and even trash bags under their clothes. But that was just between themselves. Zach specifically said to Jameka that they(DR) told him to wear a hat and gloves and made a big smile.

I think the reason for going to the storage room pic was that they may have had someone trying to fix the bunny. They never show anyone from staff on camera intentionally.

Cmist, good point. I recall Dani saying something like 'sorry I broke your rabbit John-O' - (actually that's paraphrased)

Has anybody ever figured out why there was mud on Dick's ankles?

I'm very confused why CBS would change their rules now? (About ED being allowed to make cruel rants against other HGs.)

Was it because they actually showed part of one last episode and the viewers didn't like it?

IMO, there was nothing different in how Dick treated Zach during the HOH than how Dick has acted all season. (Actually, I think how he treated Jen and Jameka to be worse.)

Why the sudden change of heart?!?!?

I'm totally confused.

Brenda, I was typing on my computer when the late night show came on so I can't quote Julie exactly but I turned to see her have a big grin on her face when Craig asked about the Donotos and she more or less stated that they had provided the most exciting season of BB. She seemed very happy with the Donotos.

Would Julie say any different - considering she is married to the head of CBS ......

Exactly so look forward to more Donoto type HG's next season. I'm a big girl, I can take it.

If this is a lasting trend for BB it will certainly leave me by the wayside.

I have enjoyed the HG interaction since BB1, but this year it appears much too scripted and directed by the DR.
Edited for spelling

What someone writes, as commentary, on a web site devoted to reality TV shows, is just that... commentary. One person's opinion. And no actual proof was provided to substantiate the "opinions" of this person.

And last I checked, Dick hasn't won BB. Yet. There is still one more competition to get past, and then the jury votes.

Pages back, Prisoner said something I've been saying all along... This is exactly what CBS wants. Someone who hasn't been watching BB is now gonna watch it to see what all the fuss is about. CBS is still getting eyes on their show, and those ratings are what they care about. All the fussing and threatening and emailing... it just confirms that people are watching. It appears that a lot of those who have complained and claimed to have sent letters to CBS are still watching the show and still watching the live feeds. Which is EXACTLY what CBS wants.

And yes, I want Dick to win the $500K!!! More so now than ever.

We know they sent Dani inside and then it went to storage. I think that they were trying to repair the bunny and had Zach and Dick standing elsewhere so they couldn't converse with the guys who were trying to fix it. No big conspiracy just technical difficulties. Just to stay focused I counted all the soda bottles in the storage room, in case we were to have a test this week.

The author indicated that by CBS not saying anything it's a form of encouragement.

It's commonly known (at least I learned this in a number of leadership classes for work) that if you see something that is not ok, but say nothing ot indicate that, you are giving others the message you are buying into it being ok.

None of the HG's told Dick his attacks were out of line and not acceptable. So from Dick's perspective they don't have any issues with it. If BB says nothing to him, the message he gets is that to BB it's ok.

Think about coming into work late everyday for 32 months. Your boss says nothing about it. On the first day of the fourth month you boss fires you. What is your first thought/feeling??

If you are honest with yourself, the answer would be wondering why they said nothing before if it was a problem.

This is why I've been bothered with BB and the other HG's as much as with Dick for his non-game related comments. Their non-actions are sending a message to Dick that his approach is ok with others.

If every HG had told him he was out of line with Jen when he first started on her and kept telling him that every time he said those crappy things to her or anyone else, he would have stopped or toned it way down long before.

It's a human nature thing. Which is what BB is really all about. It's human nature shown over 3 months in an exaggerated setting.

They didn't care Lance because they were letting him do what they wouldn't. He was keeping them off the radar and they didn't have a problem with that.

If Dick thought his comments and actions were all right, he wouldn't have strongly expressed a need for bodyguards and gone to the DR to insist they provide them for him. And he's been spoken to already as we know from a few days ago when he'd planned to say Zach used an inflammatory word, but the DR told Dick he couldn't say that.
