Lurk, I feel exactly the way you do but from the opposite direction. I feel jumped on for disapproving of Dick's actions. I think there are more supporters of Dick than detractors on this board. I don't hate him at all, but I find his behaviour really lowdown. I don't like Kail at all but I really feel for her being the target of Dick's abusive behaviour. No matter what she has or hasn't done in the house it doesn't excuse or justify him.

And I disagree with the comments that Kail is a player like Maggie. She has nowhere near the game skills that Maggie had. She may try to manipulate people, but she is very hamfisted about it and not persuasive at all. Maggie, on the other hand, was a master manipulator of people with weak personalities.

Ocassionally someone will be so passionate about a player in this crazy game they will look for anything negative about that fav and it will stick out to them more than any other posts and they will create their own obsession of trying to champion that fav. The goal would be not to try and control how people post but allow it to be fun. I would try and stay away from defining a negative comment about ones favorite as being "hateful" or bashing. I'm sure 99.9 percent here would admit they aren't going to give that type of energy to some stranger on a crazy tv show. It's all about balancing. Have fun kids it happens every year.

SPeaking of Amber and drugs:

I am not an addict, but I can totally sympathise with them..after my appendix burst and I was in the hospital for a week (I got a shot of something like morphine, but it wasn't, it was something else that actually makes you feel even more euphoric, every 2 hours for the time I was there). Then I was sent home with a week's supply of OxyContin, and then got another week's refill...When I was all out, I truly felt like I would have have done anything to get more...Luckily I don't have drug connections or tons of extra money and just forced through the withdrawal. I could totally see how easily it is to become addicted and I sympathize with Amber whole heartedly.

I guess bullying depends on who the covnersation is between. It's also hard to define in this game. If one says, if you don't vote my way I'll make sure you're out next week, is that bullying if one is in a position of power and the other isn't. Is it more bullying of one person is seen as weak and the other strong. What if both people are strong. I would think Kail would not be easily intimidated by anyone.

Kale consider yourself lucky, but nothing new just moreso...I pretty much restated my point in my above post but go back a page or 2 and you can read it...just seems like quite the double standard to me, and I'm exhausted from not being able to just have MY view.

Think I will follow your lead and take a break....cup o coffee sounds REAL good right now. I MUST remember to make or buy ice, iced sounds better! lol

Oh and Lesley...thanks for the nice post! I appreciated it. I really don't mind if folks hate who I like. I'm just sick of having to walk on hot coals to share my opinion, and mostly find it ironic how some are doing the exact actions they seem to despise when Dick does it. But they fail to recognize the similarities. LOLOL. But I respect disagreeing as you stated, since we all are entitled to our views!

Starbucks' new iced coffees are yum!!! Four cans in a "four-pack" (duh!) and not too sweet! And just the right amount.

Oxycontin is a terrible drug. It's like heroin.

and like or dislike Dicks game style he seems to generate the most mention since he provides most of the action on the cams. Him and Kail that is. So blame it on BB. Maybe the board should create a thread entitled Hate/love Dicks Game. That way the debating on what he does in the game could be centralized over there and mention of him in this thread would be limitted to what is currently happening. Just a suggestion.

Is nothing going on inside the house at all right now, or are we still in veto challenge blackout?

Wow, Naja. It happened that quickly? I feel Amber has overcome a great deal to be in that house. I hope she does well for her daughter's sake, but I don't see her winning the whole thing. Right now my money is on Jameka or Jessica.

My take is that "bullying" is when the one being bullied can't escape. Kail was not tied up, handcuffed or under the influence of a horse tranquilizer so she is not victim.

What is currently happening is that some weird psycho trip to Alice in Wonderland with a very scary mad hatter is going on in the BB backyard! And although only six are playing, everyone gets to "participate."

In all seasons past... has anyone won who spent half the time whining about how much they "needed" to win?

Yes Lesley, 2 weeks is totally enough time to get that feeling that you NEED the drug.

Oh, and for that psycho trip? No OxyContin or mushrooms needed. Apparently! <snicker>

OxyContin is HIGHLY addictive. One of the most addicting drugs around. And there's a double whammy... it does take the pain away, so you want it. And then you want it more.

I think Dick's purpose for being in the house aside from winning the money, is to make good tv. He seems to be doing that very well this season. I guess I'd rather see him go off on people, than to watch Zach run nekkid.

I know a few people addicted to oxy. I'm in Al-anon, so I hear all the horror stories. It seems that for teens these days the drugs of choice are illegal Rx drugs. Scary stuff.

Dick, Jen, Kail, with Eric hosting, and Zach, Nick, and Jessica playing. Mike, Daniele, Jameka, and Dustin are participating in some form or other, of which, we know not.

Bully: A person who is habitually cruel or overbearing, especially to smaller or weaker people.

Make of that what you will.

How many of you got to see "nekkid" last night? It isn't something you would be joking about if you had witnessed it. I had fing nightmares.

I know, Cheeky! Back in the day? Marijuana was cheap and easy, and we never thought to raid our parents' drug cabinets! Of course, then, we didn't have drugs like Oxy.
