I wanted to see the look on the house guest's faces when they said how Much MOney Eric earned being AP! I was glad when Dani told Amber if thats what she based her vote on then to not vote for her! I'm sorry but after all the crap Amber said about her personal life she shouldn't be calling anyone out IMOP

The thing about the jury's questions is that they were not the ones being held accountable for their actions at that point. They were not being judged. They had already been judged, sentenced, and excuted, so to speak, when they were evicted. The jury members were not the ones with a chance at a half million dollars. They were the ones doing the judging. It was their final duty and they had every right to ask anything they wanted. And just as the rules did not say Dick and Dani had to be nice, and could use any behavior they wanted to get to the end, neither did the rules say the jury had to be nice or consider their own behavior when they asked their questions. Why should the jury members be held to a higher standard than Dick and Dani? Part of BB is facing the jury and their questions. It is meant as a time for the F2 to "face the music" so to speak. To try to justify if they can their actions in getting to the end. After all, they are getting a lot of money even if they lose. So if "anything goes," was good enough for Dick and Dani throughout the game, why is not "anything goes," OK for the jury members in deciding who gets the big money? And to claim that either of these two did not need to answer a question on high moral grounds is laughable. Just my opinion, of course.

I think to some the point is you shouldn't throw rocks if you live in glass houses. Amber taking the moral ground, after some of the information she dispensed in the house is, almost, laughable. But then, I always find it amusing that the evicted jurors conveniently "forget" what they did. How they forgot their own lies, their own bashing.

So glad this season is over and I echo the sentiments of others that this was the worst season ever for BB and an all time low for production. This season has sucked all the enjoyment I used to get from the show and I'll probably just check the board next year to see what's being said about the contestants rather than tuning into the show itself. So in advance of next season, I would like to thank and tell how much I appreciate all those dedicated souls who post the live feeds and screencaps on here. I believe you will be even more valued next season, if that's possible!

I don't think it is so much a matter of them forgetting what they did as it is as I said earlier, that their job is to ask the tough questions. If they had to take into account the things that they said and did, few of the jury would have had a right to ask anything. But they were not the ones being held accountable for their actions. Amber was a part of the jury. There are no rules about what they can ask. What information she dispensed in the house has no bearing on what Dani did or what Amber asked her to justify. Amber was not the one on the hot seat, Dani was. It was perfectly acceptable for Amber to ask the question she did. She had commented on it several times during the show. It was something that bothered her all season.

Woohooo it's OVER AND OUT~ If this is a taste of the future direction of BB then you can count me out. 1 season of this crap was enough for me. They have 1 chance to keep me as a viewer next year but if I see any type of behavior like Dick's was this season I'm gone for good. I will not waste another season watching BS like that. I know some people like that kind of "entertainment" but I don't and won't support anything BB at all.

Normally when BB ends I'm very SAD as it kept my interest and made me want more. This season didn't do that to me and I'm so GLAD it's over! Very, very, glad. Such a disappointing season in so many ways.

Mssas if what What555 said is true, that CBS/Endemol are really upset with Alison Grodner and plan to "deal with her" after this show, then maybe there is hope. In my view, I hold her totally responsible for the way this season went. I'm sure in time we will know whether the Donatos had dinner with her, and I don't think that will sit well with people.

Julie seemed thrilled with the Donato win as she took Dick's hand at the end of the show. She also mentioned on Craig Fergason days ago how thrilled she was. The ratings went through the roof this season and we all know Julie is married to the head CEO of CBS. Thanks to all my good friends here that made last night on the board one to remember. It was hysterical and just great.

Several people have suggested that the Allison that Dani said her and Dick had dinner with a few days before the show was not AG but another Allison, but even if it was, which is hard to swallow, she revealed that the whole premise of the Danato relationsip was a lie. Such a big thing was made of the fact that they had not spoken for two years and they were just SOOOO surprised when they found the other one to be in the house. But Dani said they had dinner with Allison just a few days before the show. So AG or not, they had dinner together with someone just days before entering the house. Guess they just sat and stared at each other during dinner, not speaking.

I'm doubting that anyone in the BB-viewing world doesn't know who won the, eh, "game" (hard to call it that anymore, I need a new word LOL). I agree, Allitex. I've seen the looks they give each other when anyone mentions their "two year estrangement", especially Dani. It was the same look I saw on her face when Daddy entered the living room the first night of BB. Even the story about he texted her and she ignored it makes my eyes bleed. Then, he admits he left her voice mails and texted her throughout the "estrangement" and follows up with "rarely answered". Rarely? Gee, I thought they HAD NOT SPOKEN in 2 years. Then, we have the whole well, they haven't had contact in the last 5 out of 7 years. Yeah, okay. Where's that turnip truck I just fell off?

Allietex, I know I'm late in saying this, but I just want you to know that I completely agree with your Wednesday morning posts. The role of the jury is to judge who is more deserving, the same way the jury itself was judged to be NOT DESERVING of the money and therefor evicted from the house. You have been a shining star of reason throughout this season. I have really enjoyed all of your posts even if I was not in 100% agreement every time!

I'm happy with the season and happy with the winners. The right people won for a change. It's a wonderful ending for me. They don't just give the $500,000.00 away you have to work hard for it and they did. I hope in the future people realize it's not just a fun summer sunbathing in the BB house. Entering the house isn't for the faint of heart you have to take seriously the rules and be ready to expect not only the unexpected but "anything". I hope I never have to hear any more whining about "crossing the line" or "not fair" again. BB is not the real world and if you expect it to be you probably should stay home.

Cmist You Rock I totally agree! I am so tired of the they cheated! The frame by game so called proof! They won! Each year we may or may not like the winner BUT they WON! That's more than I know I could do! When I watched BB1 I so wanted to do it! I put it off then I got sick, but at the same time As I watch I know I would not want to be judged,Disected etc LOL as we do the HG. The ones I want to win Don't always win but I give them Kudos for winning. And I'll be here next year LOL

Glad that BB8-USA is over (one of the very worst seasons ever). Still SAD that BB8-UK is over. Their finale was August 31st and I can't get over how much I miss checking in every day to see what the housemates are up to. Those Brits are so lucky -- BB is on 6 nights a week!

The right people always win. The object of the game is to win. So whoever wins deserves it. That does not mean we have to be happy about the results. And it does not negate our right to express our disapproval of the things that were done and said by the winners and all the others in the house. It also does not negate our right to express disapproval of actions done by the show. If we see something that is being done or not being done that we feel is detrimental to the show, we have the right and I feel the obligation to express it. Silence is often attributed to approval.

Exactly, Allietex. Well said! I'm sort of afraid of BB9 myself after this fiasco. Can Dick even be outDicked? Can a future houseguest file the vile shoes enough to "entertain"? Me? I'll take normal to even semi-normal complete strangers on a level playing field and may the best wo/man win. Please gawd, no more estranged family members or secret siblings or exes with a grudge or best pals. Key word... strangers. Strange even works but let's draw a line at sadistic and disgusting.

My perception ... I don't see anyone trying to "outdick Dick" in BB9. In all the seasons no one has really ever tried to mirror any of the winners or near winners. There hasn't been another Dr. Will, nor a Dani, nor a June, nor a Jee. All these players each come in and do their own thing.

I am repeating Northwestblondes words below: "So glad this season is over and I echo the sentiments of others that this was the worst season ever for BB and an all time low for production. This season has sucked all the enjoyment I used to get from the show and I'll probably just check the board next year to see what's being said about the contestants rather than tuning into the show itself.

I believe you will be even more valued next season, if that's possible!" _________ I am estatic that Survivor has now started. I felt like it was a breath of fresh air after the debacle of this years BB. The producers have really stuck their bloody fingers too much into BB that they have ruined it in my eyes. Instead of making it better they did just the opposite-so much so that I felt like it was fixed. If not for Erics skewed vote each week ED would of been long gone. JMO
