Earthmother, Kail is fighting for her life in this game; she really has nothing to fear of Dick anymore. But the other HGs do--and so they all laugh at his jokes and cow-tow to him! He acts with great confidence because he is pulling the strings. Who is going to oppose him?

The only thing they may fear about Dick is that he is going to make it a long way in this game.

Now, any suggestions on how to handle a 'loose cannon'?? Looks like everyone is playing along, is that the best tactic? They figured that Dick is going to tell all at any given moment, so should they even try to talk strategy anymore?? Something is not right here, Dick is killing the game with his 'to your face' approach, I liked this for a bit but now I'm wondering...

Then I guess if that's their fear they need to do something about it. No one is holding any of these people hostage! No one is making any physical threats toward them! No one is being told they can't leave if they don't feel safe! No one has chosen to get rid of Dick, even when they had the chance! No one has shown me that they are soooooo scared of anyone that the money prize at the end is not where their true focus is!! It is a game..they all have choices..there are more of them than there is of him..he hasn't broken any of bb rules..everyone has the same option to give him as good as he sends..it is what it is.

Dick thinks he is running the house and everyone loves him, but he is being deceived. No one can trust him to keep his big mouth shut about anything they tell him. He might make the jury but he will not win the game. It's going to be a shock to him when his time comes.

That is possibly true Kmjm, but you name one other hg who isn't being played by someone. That is the name of this game. I never can understand why anyone thinks that someones game play is so wrong when they are still in the cat bird seat. Their play sucks when they get themselves into a situation of not being able to save themselves, not by luck, but by a stategy gone wrong.

My personal opinion, for what it's worth, is if people were that scared of Dick, they would have voted him out last week instead of Joe. From what I saw, Kail was trying to make people think he was scary and her efforts failed. Now she is trying to justify her actions and that's not working either. As far as I know, Zach seems to be the only one that really creeps the girls out, not Dick. Dick obviously has a very strong personality. There are a lot of people who are intimidated by that (me included). I would imagine some people in that house do not want to get on Dick's bad side and for good reason. However, I don't think anyone is actually in fear of their safety in that house, including Kail. Actually, no one even seems afraid to stand up to Dick, even when he is in the middle of one of his rampages. Personally, I feel if Kail was that scared of him, she wouldn't keep talking about him constantly knowing that it almost always gets back to him, but that's JMO. My dad used to ride motorcycles with guys who were covered in tatoos and always wore black. They were generally perceived in public as scary and trouble makers. People actually cringed when they saw them. The truth is, they had the biggest hearts and made the best of friends. They were secure with who they were and didn't really care what people thought of them. I always had respect for them because of it. Also, there are people who look perfectly normal that scare the crap out of me. It's almost like I get an immediate vibe to stay far away. I would imagine BB did a thorough background check on Dick before he came in the house. He just doesn't strike me as the violent/offender type. Abrasive or rough around the edges? Without a doubt!!!

Mizin, I believe that all of Kail's problems in the house began with her expectations that the men she had locked onto would rescue her in this game. This isn't a Fairy Tale, it's a competition in which each player should be playing for themselves. Kail couldn't even figure out a way to deflect attention onto Zach instead of Mike all by herself. She needed Mike and Jen to come up with the plan for her. Kail has been such a disappointment to me. I thought that someone that had tried for so long to get on BB would be better at adjusting their original plan when things in the house changed. it. I agree with EM. This is a competition. There should be no free rides. Jen took crap from ED and stood up to him and may have actually earned some respect from him. Kail cowers and runs to find someone to save her. Why should anyone mess up their own game just so Kail can stay and be comfortable? I applaud those that are playing strategically instead of emotionally.

I don't think any of them are truly "scared" of Dick and when the house collectively is done using him to eliminate certain ones he will be gone. He's going to be devastated when they all suddenly turn on him. As for Miss Kail and her victim role. I do think she is overwhelmed by his "in your face" personality but I'm not quite sure if she is scared of him. She doesn't realize or rather see the bigger picture. No one hates her in the game. No one is cheering him on for how he treats her BUT right now they could care less as long as it is her that he is targeting and not them. Thats his role that they are forcing him to play. With that big mouth of his and that big ego of his he is perfect to keep the target on someone else for the rest of the house at this point. It makes their job much easier right now. If she could understand that this is a game of elimination she would understand why the house isn't going to show her much sympathy. In each of their minds she has to go just like the person sitting next to them and if this is a way to get her out of the game then so be it. Nothing personal against her. Should Kail keep playing it like this? If she really knew how to play it correctly I'd say yes but she plays it all wrong. Even when he's not yapping at her she's going around talking about it. What she needs to do is figure that she does have a chance to stay this week and now just go out and have some relaxed fun. However, she needs to prepare herself if Dick should come at her again. Thats when you play the victim role. Suddenly run from him and start announcing that he scares you physically. Tell him outloud so everyone can hear you that you feel uncomfortable being alone with him when he gets in your face. Really milk it and make it look real. I promise you that he would pull back because it will click to him that "maybe" others might see him in that manner as well and thats not how he wants any of the females to see him in this game. If you're gonna play the victim know how to do it right for God Sakes. Don't be so damn annoying.

C1 "If you're gonna play the victim know how to do it right for God Sakes. Don't be so damn annoying." For some reason this made me really laugh. I don't believe Kail has ever been the victim, probably quite the opposite, cause after all she owns half the town. That is why she doesn't know how to do it right. LOL

Cruz I agree. I have this feeling that in her real life when she tries to manipulate anyone she plays the sympathy card and it always works. She just doesn't understand this game at all.

If anything, Kail plays the martyr role well. She was being sneaky last week, got caught, and should have just owned up to it instead of making excuses. She continues to do the same thing that upset Dick in the first place and it probably will cost her the game. He doesn't hold back, why should she? I agree with C1, Kail should just tell him what she thinks in front of everyone. IMO, she would probably earn the respect of the house and maybe even Dick. That might be a long shot, but who knows?!?

I don't think any of the houseguests are afraid of Dick physically attacking them. But none of them want to be on the receiving end of one of his tirades. His strategy in the game is to intimidate by calling people out. I actually think that's how he functions in real life too. He thinks that because no one is opposing him, that everyone is OK with him and likes him. Really, as C1 says, they are just biding their time and using him to their advantage. That's pretty much what Eric said to Amber last night. If I was in the house, I would do whatever I could to not be in Kail's position and if that meant I had to humour Dick and agree with whatever he said, I would. Then I'd stab him in the back, lol. He'd never see it coming.

I don't think that Dicks approach to all of them will be like Kail and Jen. He selects which ones he knows he can do this with. It actually works against him in the long run but like Kail being oblivious he is just as oblivious. The first person that shouts him down he will back off and try another approach with them. Kail made it too easy. Jen on the other hand made it useless LOL and thats why I love her in this game. You'd think Kail would stop looking in the mirror at herself and pay closer attention. Take a lesson from Jen in dealing with Dick. And lose the whole Evil thing. You help perpetuate his mythical standing in the house when calling him that. Call him Richard if saying the name Dick bothers you that much but for godsakes just restructure your whole approach with the man. Just calling him Richard would probably take some air out of his ego. It's so informal and goes against the drag he has created for himself. He'd probably hate it. So much to work with in regard to Dick but she misses all of it and makes it way too easy for him to go after.

Don't you wish you could just tell Eric what to do all the time? If Eric gets evicted because of something we suggest, then find another AP...lol.

Callind Dick Richard would hurt Eric. It doesn't fit his image. But it would absolutely work with Kail. She needs to embrace her "character" and exploit his.

No one is making any physical threats toward them! I want to punch you today, I want to choke her until she's dead, I'm going to put Oil in the bathtub so she falls and breaks her neck, I'm going to stick my foot so far up her SS(behind) that she will bleed to death. just a few threats that have been caught on live feeds...there are much more but I've lost count. oh wait, Are we supposed to think Dick is just joking....? Oh yeah, gameplay!! its for the game
