So, do you think they HG's are going to be happy with their decision to evict Joe after a couple of days of Dick being HoH? If he thought he had the right to tell everyone what he thinks of them before, imagine how entitled he is going to feel for the enxt several days! This could be the start of the end of Dick.

He actually might do okay. I've wondered how much of his ranting was due to his feeling of powerlessness in the house. He's been the outcast.....oldest, estranged from his daughter, and the most different in his life experiences and his attitude...but now he might find that people are more amenable to accepting him.

Deep down, Dick is a decent guy. I think he'll be fair and not an ass. He's got his enemies, but he's got far more friends...

everyone is happy since there is no paranoia. Dick made it clear who his two victims (nominees) will be....everyone else will be relaxed and confident....and Thankful to his royal majesty

Dick has a real problem with betrayal. He told Kail that his mother betrayed him with little white lies many times. You can really feel his rage when he calls someone out on their lies, and that's old pain coming out. You can see it on his face. It's as if he's exposing them for all to see, and he waits until many of the other hg's are there to witness the "calling out". I don't think we've seen the end to Dick's rage as the game progresses, nor the end to the discomfort all of the other hgs will feel as they realize each one of them will be held to Dick's impossible standard in the house. Everyone has to betray the others eventually. I can't forget Dani telling a few of the women that Dick is like your "best friend that's really mean". I'd say she's dead on about her dad. Dick is a fun guy unless betrayed....then look out! The big question is will the fear of being called out by Dick prevent him from being nominated after his HOH reign, or will it speed up the decision to get him out of the house? And WHO will step up to do it? Time will tell.

I think that temporarily Dick will be better for the reasons Sanfran explains. However it will not last- maybe not even all week if the POV doesn't go his way, or even sooner if he catches anyone campaigning for anyone else but Kail.

Therein, Kmjm, is the issue, I think. As long as people are doing what Dick wants in the way Dick wants, all will be OK. But if they do not succomb to his dictates, they will be angrily, openly, crudely and publicly berated and humiliated by him. I do not see this week going smoothly. Inevitably, the HoH crown causes people to act arrogantly, with a sense of entitlement and an expectation of obedience to their desires. We have seen this is virtually all seasons and with a large majority of HG's as they have held the position. Given the deep insecurities Dick has, his belief that he knows best and everyone else is stupid and his inherent arrogance, he is going to rise to a level of importance in his own mind that is will be monumental. And woe to any HG that does not toe Dick's line. It should be an interesting week.

It's a safe week for Dick, since he's got the two targets (Kali #1, then probably Jen if Kali wins the veto)....but he's got to be careful if there is a veto who he puts up just in case, just so the house won't splinter. He also has to not be worried if it's 9-0 for whoever...or if the Kali/Jen noms hold, if Kali stays (Kali would have zero allies, and only a veto run/HOH would likely save her) although, after all the nasty talk in the HOH room last night, I'm getting a little tired of ED...he had a nice convo with Jen, then trashes her to the others too much (some is OK, but he went over the line)...I mean, be a little civil.

If I notice that the HOH crown is making Dick even more 'despotic' than before, then I will totally give up on him. However, should he keep a 'cool head' and show a certain 'modesty' inspite of his present power, then I may admire him for this. What I'd like Dick to continue doing is 'tell it like it is' in front of everyone he talks to even at the risk of creating a lot of enemies. It's 'payback' for all the times I wanted to see it from previous houseguests. And as for his daughter, he should stop sucking up to her, should let her come to him and if she doesn't, let it be, it's not a BB house the best place to become father and daughter. As for the absence of Joe... Joe who?

"The big question is will the fear of being called out by Dick prevent him from being nominated after his HOH reign," I think it is! After all the people had there chance this week to easily get him out and they chickened out. He is MUCH more of a threat in this game than Joe ever was!

I agree, Skydiver. Zach should be nommed just because he was so very wrong about Dick not being a threat and Joe being a huge threat. If Dick is sooo upset by lies, I see him seething about Nick and Nick could very well be a replacement for one of the gals. Has he figured out yet that it was Nick who told Kail he was gunning for her? That seemed to set him off in this game.
