Should he just tell them to give it to "His Daughter" since she will end up with it anyway after he dies, or should he say he was really the best player and ran the house and played them all. Which argument would get him the most votes?

I honestly believe he will go with the latter: he was really the best player and ran the house and played them all.

i hope he does not do that. (tell them to give the money to dani) i hope he keeps it humble and states the fact. it will be hard for him to do, as dani will be sitting right there, but, he's been fairly upfront so far.

I think Dick should talk about his playing the game for 2 the entire season, and putting Daniele first at all times, trying to protect her position in the house. He should admit that he used offensive tactics, apologize for any hurt he caused any other houseguests, but say that his motivation and strategy were all about furthering his daughter in the game. I don't expect him to do this, however. I think he'll remain cocky, thinking Daniele will win and share the money with him. I doubt very much that she will.

Dick's best bet is to point out that even tho his HOH/POV wins is second only to Dani and he played hard all game (some jury members have mention in the past that she dragged him along), they should give the money to Dani because she'd probably walk out of his life forever if he won over her. She'd be pee'd Seeing as how many hgs don't like either one, the idea of prolonged tension between the Ds will give them perverse pleasure and they'll give their vote to Dick Daddy can say, "honey I told them to give it to you...I tried really I did"

He was generally truthful...he played strategic not personal although he would get angry on a personal basis when crossed he played strategic - and always put his daughter first ... and when he said goodby to most [no Jen] he was pretty complimentary and nice even to Zack -

I'm thinking that if he tells the jury to just give the money to Dani and that he has no solid reason for them to give it to him... that he was playing to protect her the entire game and that he already won by getting to spend so much time with her... ...that would win it for him. Hands down. (That's what i would do anyway.)

ED should basically play up on the fact that he DID do Daniele's "dirty work" -- that HE took the big chances, came under fire, fought for them, stood up to others, talked most of the strategy, and worked with others. He should highlight the fact that Daniele did very little in the first month, and that he has played the game since the beginning. He should admit that he knows he's rubbed a lot of them the wrong way, but say that he also had at least some good times with all of them. He can emphasize that he hopes they reward the person who always wanted to be there, who gave the game 100%, who took the lead, and who never gave up. Basically ED needs to paint himself as the more gutsy player...tear Daniele's "safe" game apart in an indirect way (without seeming like a jerk or obviously criticizing her). He should not try too hard to apologize for his behavior, because that would seem insincere and/or fall on deaf ears. He can say that his strategy was an "all or nothing" approach...that he was willing to be the bad guy in order to get his desired final two. I do think that ED will have a VERY hard time overcoming the stigma of his history of personal attacks. I doubt he can win. But he can try.

Dick's in a no-winner anyway, so he should do what Tobor said.

I agree Tobor. By far his best strategy is to try to convince them that they should give it to Dani. Then they will turn around and give it to him.

Why should Dick win? Dani has gotten him to play for her all season and she has used him for her own ends all season. Clearly she is the better player. She used him and he became just the pawn.

Dick isn't going to tell the Jury to give the money to Daniele. Their session with the jury is now done, there is no other opportunity left. They both had their last kick at the can last night, and it sounds like it went down terribly for Daniele, but Dick sees that she despises him now even more. Dick feels he is now going to win the money, but he acknowledges that even if he does, its very bittersweet, because he's realized after Jury, that in the end, the relationship between he and Daniele is even more divided now. He said it last night that he's in a Catch22. He may become the winner of BB8, but he's lost his daughter either way. If she wins the money, its even more likely that she will wash her hands of him. He realizes that more than ever now. From his few comments last night, he didn't give the impression that he encouraged the Jury to give Daniele the money either.

He was going to "lose his daughter" whether he won or lost. I am more convinced than ever that she was only ever using him when she needed to get a little further or when she needed him to piss someone off. Unfortunately for Dick, I believe he'll win the money and he'll spend a big part of it trying to get her to "love" him again. His words from Live Feeds: "Says she comes off so tough, she has all her sh*t together, just turned 21 but she's still a fragile little girl no matter what a pain in the ass she is." He'll continue to try to "win" her back and end up heartbroken for it.

Dick has just as much right to the win as Daniele, as he is one of the last two standing.

I think that for once, it would be in Dick's own best interest to do what he hasn't done the entire season - keep his mouth shut. Just tell the jury "It's in your hands". If he truly doesn't mind if his daughter wins, what has he to lose?

Dani may have won all the comps to keep them in to game. But it was Dick that did all the work, he made the deals as needed with each player. Dani made 2 deals - she told Jen she "had her back" , which was a total lie. And she told Zach she had his back to the very end. Other than Nick she didn't talk to any other player about the game. She talked to Amber but never made any promises to work with her.

Lan, Dani also promised Kail to keep her safe even though she was going to put her up, she wouldn't let her go home. We all know how that turned out lol. I realize Dani couldn't control the votes, but she did make that promise.

Well, I think I just read somewhere ( live feeds i think ) that Dick said something like.....I know the rules about splitting, but I have 2 kids, so surely I can help both through college. I am hoping that if Dick gives Danni any money at all that he just pays her tution for college and doesn't hand her any cash. At this point in her life....that would be the best thing for her father to do.....even though she doesn't think so.
