Klaw I thank you for the article and the thread, too. When people are so vocal about certain cast members, it may seem like they represent the majority when they don't.

I genuinely think that we, whoever "we" are, were genuinely taken aback by the amount of support for Dick. I think that naivete is gone now. Who knows what the future holds, but I greatly admire posters like Sanfran who always lets the powers that be at CBS and whatnot know what he thinks. There is nothing wrong with having moral standards and saying that a line has been crossed. It does not make you a hypocrite to say something goes beyond what's acceptable to you. I just hope that in the future people who disagree about what's done in the name of "the game", including me, are more vocal when it counts when it comes to this show.

When it counts means contacting CBS and AG's office and letting them know.

Nyheat, many posters made their feelings known to CBS and its executives. Sea, it is a small sample, but most samples are small and not considered insignificant.

And I'm sure many more did not! Posters are not the only viewers. I didn't need the feeds to see that what went on in the house crossed a line for me. I should've done something about how I felt but did not. Next year will be different.

Hey Loppes....I agree with you again.... I am sooo glad another "network" is shown critcizing CBS's handling of BB this year, and not just a few of us BB watchers..... And, I, too, feel like I have not been able to express my negative opinions on the Donatos this season without getting "targetted" in some way by some of the ardent Dick and Danielle supporters.... I LOVED Jen's comments before her vote tonight....LOVE THAT JENBOT!

This exert from Andy's article was my favorite of his: "....concludes with a finale where a jerk wins $500,000. That will probably be the case again Tuesday for the eighth-season finale, when either Dick Donato or his daughter Daniele will walk away with the show’s prize."

oh yeah, Loppes, I can just see the headlines... I tell you CBS will have major headaches to try and downplay Dick's behaviour in the house.

OK poll. It's not a statistically significant sample. It's written on a site that is a competitor to CBS, the station that airs BB. And, actually, it's now game over. Dick won. Doesn't matter any more.

Morality for some is what they hide behind when they sneak into airport bathrooms and do things their ashamed of. FOr Dick his morality is being true to himself and not being phoney.

Thanks Ruby, Tres, Loppes, Spunky, and anyone else I might have missed for trying to make me feel better for creating this thread. That poll has grown a lot since I first posted it. ETA: I should have been more clear as to why I posted it...

I don't think that it was widely highlighted and only those who saw it would vote...and you would have to read the actual article to vote on it. It is defintely skewed...of course, all polls are skewed

I will clarify my post that has so many bothered. The intent was that if a line was crossed by your OWN standards of morality, then definitely you should contact CBS next year. I should've and I didn't. Polls shmolls. I don't care if Dick has a hundred supporters or a million. It shouldn't affect what I think about him personally.

Wow, that poll has really increased a lot since I found it earlier this evening. I just don't think we would find a poll like it at CBS. I am really glad it's there and wanted to share it with others!!! I understand why people feel it's skewed...I have felt the same way about CBS's poll all season long. It may not reflect all the viewers' opinions, but it is still good to know several thousand people feel the same way I do.

This poll has many more participants than participants in many drug trials. And yet many people want those drugs. I fear for the human race. Those that take meds with small testing groups and those that think abuse is O.K. God help us all.
