LMAO... Dick was not even near the tube when it happened. The ball in all probability bounced in there. At first, I actually thought Eric was the one who put it in there since he was the one who kept staying behind those tubes and shoving everyone. Then I kept watching and no there is no sign that anyone put it in there. Dick broke a necklace at the very beginning and put it in his pocket.

I think it's possible that the blue ball bounced into Jam's tube. Especially with the way they were bouncing around. I also thought the producers should've taken that into account. Not that it really matters now. Hindsight being 20/20...

The bottom line to me is that the blue ball just shouldn't have counted...Julie should have told Jameka that she would need one more green ball, even when she reached the line in the tube. Disqualification seemed a bit drastic.

It's funny that every year there seems to be at least one competition with some kind of controversy ... something they are always asking to "review the tapes" about.

Dick keeps things from all the comps to put on Ebay. He's talked about it a few times

Yes he does keep things last night when they were packing for Eric he took Eric's brown robe that they got from the clothes competition, saying Eric wouldn't want it, and he knew people that would. Why hold the ball when two hands are better to catch with? He could always pick up a ball after the comp. to sell on EBay.

Hmmm Who told him he could have Eric's robe. I would think that would be Eric's choice as if he wanted to give it to Dick, one of the people that voted him out. Interesting.

I didn't understand the DQ either, I think Julie should have said that since there was a wrong colored ball in her tube that to win she'd have to fill it the rest of the way with green and then carry the last green with her when she went to press the button. Again, it wouldn't have mattered as Zach had that comp in the bag...or tube as it were.

I wasn't sure why Julie said anything. Why didn't she just let the game play out and if Jameka filled her tube first, then point out that she had a blue ball in there. It would have been much more dramatic for everyone to think that Jameka had won and then find out that she hadn't.

I do remember Eric telling Dick that he didn't want the robe because he would never wear it. But I guess he could get it back if he changed his mind.

Actually, Darclyte, Jameka was ahead for a time

Jameka was saying last night that Eric had ask her to put balls in his tube. Hmmmm. He was feeling pretty desperate. Could be why CBS is not saying anything. Perhaps Eric put it in. I still think it was God.

Archiecat, only right at the beginning. Zach came back and had passed her before the blue ball controversy. Once he figured out what to do to gain the upper hand, it was all over.

Cmist, Dick said he was taking the robe to his son, but if Eric asked for it, he would give it to him.

Dick broke a necklace at the very beginning and put it in his pocket. So that's what it was. I couldn't figure out what he was doing. I ff'd through parts of the show and missed Jameka getting disqualified. How many balls did she have in when this happened? Does anyone think without the DQ she may have won HOH?

Actually Dick did not vote Eric out. Dick was HOH and had no vote.

Why did Dick take Eric's brown robe? Isn't that stealing? Did Eric tell Dick he could have it previously? ETA: I see he took it for his son. IMO, that's not the way to do it; take now/ask questions later. People like that never understand why bad things happen to them.

Cricket she had 5 balls in but the 4 th ball was a blue one? And it may be just me But I think she knew it was in there because she can be heard saying how did that blue ball! Before Julie mentioned it. She may have noticed it as she dropped the next ball in but let it go thinking if it fell in it wouldn't count!

Seattlemom, I listened to the show again too and I heard Jameka say something about the blue ball before Julie said anything also.

Thanks, Seattlemom. They def. should have let her keep going and just get the right amount of green balls. She had no control of the blue ball going in there, so to DQ her was the wrong thing to do. Tndeb..so Eric told Dick he didn't want the robe? Did he tell him to take it? Thanks.
