Of course Alison didn't answer the Dick's coded letter part of the caller's question.

Actually, it would have pretty severe tax consequences for either if the just gave half to the other. The first place winner would have to pay tax on the full amount of the winnings, get slapped with a gift tax, and the second place finisher would only pay taxes on the $50,000. These folks don't really seem to have a clue about how all that works. However, if Dick wins and pays the money directly as tuition, it doesn't count as a gift. And either can gift the other under the gift limit (in 2006 it was only $12,000) without additional tax consequences.

I didn't explain that well, Bonza. I wanted the AP reveal before the jurors deliberate so they have all the information to consider. And I wanted them to do a montage of his tasks so we could see the cast's reactions to it all.

yeah, but they're taking an awful chance-someone could go off on Eric once they realise he screwed them (like Jen slapping him for the mustard incident)...and this means they won't be able to watch the tapes after the jury questioning so they'll still be blind about most of the season Tuesday..

and Tres, if it was Zach vs a D, I'd agree with you, but it doesn't matter now about when they do the reveal.

Wilson it's been said that they vote on Saturday and the key ceremony on the finale is just for show. I doubt Jen is going to go postal over a t-shirt.

It may not matter since it's D&D as you say Wilson, but I want to see their reactions to everything he did.

I don't like the idea of telling the jury about AP prior to the vote. It nullifies the whole point of AP -- to let America play. This way we still get to play until the bitter end. We got to try and influence the house through Eric and we get to cast a meaningful vote.

and I know that tres about the keys-I've actually mentioned it. But if they plan to go truly blind-not let them see the tapes or anything until the live show-it could get ugly.

Tres - I think we will miss out on a lot of reaction about Eric with this schedule. The HG won't have time to process any of it. I am OK with the way it's going to be done, but I hear ya - extra time and a montage with reactions - that would be good.

They should be scheduling a House Calls with all the HGs.

To me Allison looks like Albert Brooks in a permed wig. Before anyone thinks that is an unkind remark and alerts the moderators, I want to add that I think Albert Brooks is cute and I am not being mean.

I've always thought the BB finale should be much longer, like Survivors. The BB finale is always rushed with very little time to get HG reaction to many things in the house. With AP, that is even more pronounced.

I agree Hummingbird. I also think there is a touch of Oliver Hardy there too. I adore Oliver and Hardy so this also is not meant to be unkind.

Jen did kind of laugh in a way. She didn't get mad about the tea at the time.

They did say something about when the houseguests come on Housecalls and talking about how they feel about AP. So maybe they are going to have at least some of them on Housecalls.

Gretchen reminds me of the woman who anchors the Fox 5 morning news here in the NY area. Her name is Jodi Applegate.

Actually, Karuuna, either one can gift a large amount and (tax-wise) file it against their lifetime exclusion. There will be no tax ramifications that way. I don't know what the limit is this year, but it was 1.3 million a few years ago.

I never realized that a parent paying college tuition for a child, even if the child is 21, is considered a gift.
