I think the Cental time zone stretches to Colorado? Also population is a factor. The Eastern time zone stretches to Chicago, then Central takes over. The east is the most heavily populated section of the country, isn't it?

I don't have any issue with the folders on the Donatos and all the debate on them. The fact is if it had been two independent people in the house, we would be having the debates on them. I think many people feel just because Dick/Daniele are family that its like attacking one person constantly, but its not. Its also not our fault they are family. Viewers rip apart the F2 in all the seasons, the Donatos, because they are related to each other shouldn't be any different.
We would have wondered over each individual persons reaction if it had been Eric/Jessica....Jen/Amber who ever the heck.

Its also not our fault that the only time the Donatos talk they are always being so negative and trashing other people. They are the ones who give us the conversation off which we formulate our opinions. Its not us, its them.

Personally, I pay for the feeds, and be d*mned if the Donatos are going to force me not to turn them on, and not make a comment about them. They aren't gonna take away my right to Superpass.

As someone has so rightly said before me, both Dick and Daniele have been cooped up in that house for the past three months. With no real outside interaction. They know nothing except what they've shared the past three months. And a large part of that has to do with their (less than lovely) roommates. They also still have the grilling by the jury in the back of their minds. I would fully expect them to discuss all that's happened, good and bad.

A tragedy for some a triumphant celebration for most of us. WTG Donatos. Who cares who AP was he was a "also ran" like the horse who finishes in the field.

The warmth I feel inside myself is that if Dani wins the $50,000 that Eric in the end will win more than she, because she don't get the stipend.

Awwww I know it's difficult to see your fav's lose. I have been there it is the pits THis is actually this is the first time since Lisa won that I'm happy with the winners. We all get so emotionally invested in these people. I think the "real" human study should be on the people who really follow closely the feeds. Much could be learned from how we deal with it.

Eric would be close I figured its around 12 weeks at $750 a week = $9,000 plus the 40,000 = $49,000

My problem is not that my favorites lost. I didn't have a favorite this season except maybe Jen early on and Zach at the end. I didn't think of them as "favorites". All I knew was I didn't like the Donatos.

So...I'm not particularly distressed over the other HGs losing. I'm royally pissed off because I don't like either of the F2. I wish it was anybody but them. (Well, maybe not Eric.)

You do not know if Eric gets a stipend, too. He may not. And even if he does, he'll still get $1,000 less than Daniele. So there is no way he is going to "win" more than Daniele. And odds are pretty high that he's not getting a stipend in addition to his AP winnings.

And from where I sit, the Donatos are winners. They are the final two in this game, and at this moment, that's winning.

Eric deserves to get that extra money. He did work very hard for it. If he had started listening to America sooner and not been so unlikable he may have won this game. He is a very smart person but it takes more than smarts. I don't think anyone can really ever say exactly what it will take. Each different cast is is it's own little "society". Thats what I find the most interesting about this game.

Messalina, to answer a question you asked upthread... Yes, I do think there is a difference between east coast and west coast. I think west coast is less conservative. I think less conservative folks may find they like Dick (although not necessarily all of his actions) and Daniele. Which is why I think the 3 minute vote (and wasn't it via text only?) was a rip off. I had a phone call, missed that commercial break, and couldn't vote. (And yeah, I'm west coast!)

Not me, I am so not conservative. And I'm East Coast. I'm about as far left as you can go. I hug trees! I have pierced nipples and a pierced tongue! My reasons for disliking Dick had to do mostly with what he said to Jen. I just found that I couldn't throw my support behind someone who would make rape and sodomy (and other) comments to a woman two years older than his daughter. I tried to let it go, but I couldn't. Every time I started to like him a bit, he would do or say something that reminded me of what he said to and about Jen and I would get that sick feeling in my stomach again. Those are my own issues coming in to play, though! We all have issues!

And all that said, I certainly don't wish him ill and I hope that and Dani can take this experience and forge a stronger father/daughter relationship.

Costa, I don't think it was text only. I'm quite sure Julie said either text or online.

Also, I don't think East coast conservative and West coast not so conservative has anything to do with how various people feel about a reality show. It might make a difference in politics but I think that folks who enjoy watching and participating in reality shows such as BB are probably very well scattered all across the country. I would love to see a nationwide poll on this subject but no one (outside reality show viewers) would be interested.

I think that a lot of us are very sad and do not understand the fact that there are so many out there that seem to admire the Donatos..They display no morals or values and delight in humiliating others. The game is over and they continue to do so....It is sad for them and for our society that there are so many that treat each other in the same manner.

Eric should get both the stipend and his bonus for his extra work and if they try to deny that money to him he should get an attorney.
That would be very unfair in my opinion.

I really don't think the Donato's are concerned what the feed or internet viewers think. They have won. They live in a very liberal part of the country. They are not going home to any conervative small town values. Yes, we all know you don't have to live in a small town to have values. At the same time, you do not have to have high morals or any for that matter to win this game. You just have to kick ass. The Donatos did.

In my mind a "bonus" is something extra - like a bonus at the end of the year. If Eric does't get the stipend, how could he get something extra? That would be his "pay," wouldn't it

I agree Cmist!! That would be pretty interesting! I can't believe that I get invested as I do. I have to keep telling myself it's just a TV show full of people I don't know! lol
