KS you have me totally lost hun. For a very rare BB happening, Costa and are are totally on the same page here...so if you are agreeing w/her you are agreeing with me lol. And Kmjm,can only speak for me, but I know I haven't gone after those who like Kail (not that I saw that many lol) or those that don't like Dick in the manner they have with endless bashing, putdowns etc. Anyway that coffee is calling....glad my point made sense to some, and I honestly hope that those doing it will think about how frustrating it is. IF you don't like Dick doing it, then is doing the same thing any better? Dislike him all you want, but please allow for other points of view. Is that so unreasunable to hope for?

Yeah costa and the problem with oxy is it ends up causing pain, but they can't do without it, so the original pain it was prescribed for becomes pain everywhere and trying to get off it is unbearable. I know someone who has been rapid detoxed twice and is still on it. Little old ladies are addicted to it. I'd never use it no matter how much pain I was in unless I was on my way out.

Thanks, HL. I seem to recall that every season there's been the whiny "I need to win for my [insert whatever here]" story. But I don't recall any of the needy folks winning. Which brings me to my point... if Amber wants to win this thing, she needs to change her story, get rid of the sob "poor pitiful me" aspect, and game up!

Sorry folks I posted through season 4 as a Robert fan and took a lot of flack for it. (right C1?) but i never felt the need to walk away from the board because of the constant negativity. The night before last i jumped on because i stated my opinion that a poster had posted the exact same thing over and over again and it was repetitive and old. (talk about Dick going on and on)We got the point move on. Last night i just left. There is a faction that are very vocal and very much attack those of us who do not see dick as Satan's spawn. Sad really since I enjoy everyone here so much and look forward to this place as much as I do the hamsters themselves.

Hamsterlady is laughing hysterically right now because she's also in agreement with Costa and Lurk. It's like BB history in the making! hehe

Make of that what you will. BB GAME: Trying to win by any means, using manipulation, deceit and protecting your game by any means necessary that does not become physical or include a physical threat.. My contention is that "if you can't run with the big dogs, keep you butt on the porch, or in this case, in the town you own.

Kail is not weak or smaller. Kail is an adult woman and can walk out of the room. Shall we try for another definition of bully? Just for those of us don't get it? <snicker>

With the definition of bullying it can't really be avoided in the game of BB. Every hoh would qualify as a bully. I guess we could just call dick an overbearing, obnoxious bully as opposed to a more gentler, more subtle bully such as Jen.

Whenever the Pov includes everyone, it becomes one of the questions for HOH or end game. I hope they are paying attention.

Kale, I left last night for the same reason. And I left earlier this season for the same reason. And right now, I wanna go smack upside the head the people who left their dog inside a stranger's house and dog is whining and crying. Much like Amber, only without the tears!

i thought jen kind of bullied amber when she told her she would put dustin up if she didn't do what jen wanted her to...to me amber qualifies as weak, but kail...not so much.

Cheeky... you have missed my point. Please do NOT call Dick names. Do not call him an "overbearing, obnoxious bully." Please feel free to say he acts like it, but when you start the namecalling, those of us who like him will start to feel bullied ourselves. See my posts and Lurk's posts above. HL, Lurk... totally ODDD, isn't it??? I guess pigs really DO fly somewhere???

Kale do you think it's possible it goes both ways? Those that cheer Dick feel attacked although I haven't seen it. Those that aren't cheering for him might feel attacked. So more than likely both sides feel the same. Thats a common ground to work with. All I keep saying is at the end of the day when you turn it off make sure you had fun.

Kale, first time I've been on the boards here this year and I'm getting the itch to sign up for the feeds cos I enjoy this aspect of BB as much as the game itself. Ugh, I'm trying to stay strong. I told my kids I'd try to go without this year. OMG, BB is my oxycontin!

See, I felt like Amber blew that whole Jen thing out of proportion. All she had to do was yes Jen like everyone yes's the HOH's.

I like the way they do POV. When everyone plays it's too easy for a larger allience to throw it to one of their own. This way it's random, and rarely if ever are all 6 connected.

I didn't think Jen was bullying Amber. I thought she was threatening her. If you don't do this, then I'll do that. Actually, more like a promise. But one, apparently, that Jen didn't keep!
