But she wasn't voted out, so it really isn't a big deal. If she'd won veto she'd have taken herself off the block, Dick would have put Zach up, and still Eric would have gone home. If she'd have gone home it would be a big deal but she STAYED!

absolutely.

It is the first thing I thought.

a person would never 'palm' a ball of the wrong colour.

They would drop it immediately when seeing it is the wrong colour.

Dick told her she should talk to the DR about the blue ball.
I don't think if he had cheated he would be encouraging her to question what happened.

No, I actually do not think Dick did this. I actually thought that Eric did to be honest, because briefly he was the one behind the tubes after balls. I did hear Jam say "I didn't do it, someone else put it in there." Hence, my jumping to a conclusion of a suspicion rather that it was Eric since he was VERY aggressive during this comp. However, I am not sure after watching it multiple times if it did not bounce in there. On the showing, I have slowed it down etc etc, you cannot see how the ball got in there at all. Yes, Jam did stop briefly when Julie said she was DQ'ed and kept going.

Why would a person palm it?

I ask anyone to explain the pic.

Just because Dick told Jameka to ask dr about it doesn't weigh in his favor. If you were trying to grab at green balls falling all over the way they were. You would want empty hands so you could grab the correct color. Doesn't make sense to palm a blue ball.

And again Julie screws up. There was no reason to yell out J was disqualified. They must of have a camera on every tube. Perhaps J would of never gotten voted out. But it sure impeded her particpation in the game. Just another time BB sucks at production.

Yeah, I'd like someone to show Dick his picture with the ball and ask him about it...but I'm sure with all the cameras they know who put it in there...Maybe that's why he's got a long DR...they are trying to figure out what and how to get rid of it. lol

C'mon Alison, show us how you are going to get out of this.

ok during the Mimic task, Dick was eating cereal with his rt hand and flicking stuff at eric.

When you palm something you carry it in your nondominant hand so you can still use your other hand to hide what you are doing with the left.

In other words, Dick was not in the middle of 'catching' a ball and just hadnt dropped it yet.

You guys are killing me. Balls of all colors are flying at you, I'd probably palm balls of all colors in the process. The blue and green balls were close enough in color that even Julie didn't immediately see that Jameka had a blue ball in her tube when it was obvious it was there.

I really don't understand what happened. Jameka had FOUR green balls before that moment, hence why Julie mistakenly thought she had gotten her 5th ball when she dropped that next green ball in. Suddenly the blue ball was in the 4th slot instead of a green ball. If someone had dropped it in there, it should have been the 5th ball in her tube not the 4th ball.

The competitions are consistently poorly designed. BB doesn't care who wins. They'd be happy with a coin toss or a random number generator - but that doesn't look good on TV. Lots and lots of these competitions have been unfair. The only time BB has done a "do over" is when it is extremely obvious on video there was error on BB's part.

Like the time the HG could clearly be seen pushing a button before everyone else.

They don't alway correct their obvious mistakes. I remember that golfing competition in the twins season when a clear error was made but the didn't re do anything because it was a matter of interpretation of the rules.

I doubt BB will change anything this time. Due to so many balls bouncing around, the video is not going to be clear, so they will just leave it.

And, I think the producers are happy. The Donatos are still in the house. Not my favorites, but clearly favorites of the viewers.

I just watched BB and that scene a couple of times with Dick and the blue ball, he kept it then they showed him throwing it away.

It wouldn't have mattered where the blue ball came from. Zach already had more balls in his container, and (probably due to his height) kept seeing them first and getting them. The thing ED put in his pocket was his broken necklace. Those balls looked too big to pocket, and what would be the point of pocketing a ball anyway? Even if ED put the ball into Jameka's tube, neither he nor Dani won, Zach did. Zach could have easily "went rogue" and took someone off the block causing ED to put up Dani, and Dani could have been voted out. Even if ED did put it there, Zach had a lead and basically crushed them in that comp, coming from behind to win. It was impressive and shouldn't be diminished by conspiracy theories and BS. I'm still hoping that Zach wins it all, so I'm mixed on how I feel about him not using the veto as I think he can beat ED, and maybe even Jameka if the jury votes on game play and not who they like. But, I don't know if he can beat Dani, and I think he could have beat Eric. Regardless of where Jameka's blue ball came from, I believe that Zach won that comp through his own height and athletic advantages.

IF he did it and they have proof, there should be a penalty nom, or a disadvantage in the next POV. It did rattle Jameka, so may or may not have affected the outcome. And besides, if he did do it, he had no business dropping anything in anyone else's slot.

Gina, I am not so sure that the donatos are the faves of "the viewers" or "America". There was mention in several other links about Dick's friends' voting bot flooding CBS with votes.

Dick didn't palm the ball to hide it or put in Jameka's tube. Just like all the other players that grabbed a ball they thought was green he dropped it shortly thereafter.

I loved it that America voted to get Dani nominated. Of course that was an impossible task when Dick won HOH. But it shows that people are getting fed up with her whiny brat act.

No, it shows that the West Coast who didn't see the East Coast feeds didn't get to vote. I think the outcome would have been much different if we could have all voted until midnight.

Yeah, it still was a slanted not full picture exactly since the West Coast had no participation... I do think the Mountain time may have gotten to vote, however since D/D are from the West Coast, their "side" def did not get to participate. Don't think you can really say this is an accurate vote of "America's" feelings from that.

From what I saw (after viewing it again 3 times), I agree with Kiersten that Dick did drop the blue ball later.

LOL, no matter what goes wrong Dick always did it? Not logical. I would be willing to bet that every HG had a blue ball in their hand at one time or another during that competition since they were close in color.

I've made no secret that I don't like Dick. Really really don't like him! But I don't think he would cheat during a POV or HOH comp.

Geez, I can't believe how hard it was for me to say something positive about him. I may need those paper bags to hyperventilate into after all. LOL.
