I don't think he can change his behavior Tresbien. Although this is a game, and people are doing some acting (some worse than others..no Oscars here, move along) they still are who they are, and much of what we see, especially late at night when they think most of us aren't watching or they've had to much to drink, showcases who they really are. I have never said that Dick wasn't egotist, a blowhard, or full of himself, I just don't think the is bullying anyone by pointing out their game.

I agree putting up Jenn & Kail were easy targets for Dick. He wont get any reprucssions (sp?) from the other housemates for putting those two up. In fact whats left of the MRA will help vote Kail out. If Jenn was smart she would keep quiet for awhile! Dani may win it next week!

He wants to showmance her..Obviously he thinks he can. She is young, aloof, has daddy problems, but daddy would keep him if she wanted him to, what better chick to use to help you win some money?

I think dicks "bullying" comes into play when he goes to someone and repeatedly tells them how they should play this game. It's a kick because he's never going to have absolute control over another persons choices but yet he keeps at it. Confronting someone in public is definitely a form of bullying someone with the intent of embarrassing. Again it won't change the persons personal game but it will send a message to the house. A bully tactic is a bully tactic wheather it's directed at one person or ten people. In real life do I think he is like this? Probably to a degree he is confrontational but I'm sure since there is no game being played that Dick has been told off many times for this behavior.

Earthmother I get what he is doing. Although I'm not so sure this is a showmance he is pulling. He disquises it that way but I see him using her to hide out so he isn't seen as a physical threat. In order to keep it up thats when he pulls the showmance thing and unfortunately after said amount of weeks since he has been by her side constantly she now sees him as her strongest alliance to remain in the game. In fact I don't even think she would know what to do if he was eliminated.

Tresbien...granted Jen would probably put DicK. Dani up is given the opportunity, whereas Kail probably wouldn't...But Kail will campaign nonstop for others to put up Dick and Daniele whereas Jen probably wouldn't...

But they haven't C1mag. They sit there, they take it, they even converse about it with him, but not once have they stood up and said "what about you Dick?" in front of the house. They engage in his banter and then later to their choir. Whose fault is that? You can only be bullied if you let yourself be bullied. These are grown women who have decided to play a game on national tv with thousands of people watching and they can't speak up for themselves. Bully back damnit. Make the rest of the hgs afraid to mess with you.

Bon I think Kail can easily be talked into nominating Dick. At this point there is nothing he could pull on her that wouldn't shock her. The only thing left for him to do is to actually strike her and he would never do that.

Earth they don't respond back to him because he digs his own grave by doing what he is doing. He reveals himself when he does this. They actually talk him down so that he will stop embarrassing himself. Simply because those two women have not challenged him does not mean he isn't bullying him.

C1 agreed, Kail should be the one to go... you have a good point that she could be talked in to nominating Dick...But I also think that her constant insisting to everyone else that Dick is Evil and that Dick MUST go is just as dangerous...

Kail won't do squat..she has proven that she thought she could ride through this game being driven by a team of young men. She has no game, they know it and so does everyone else in the house. What Kail lost in this game can't be found and that's credibility. No one is willing to help Kail to the end when Kail can't help herself past week two.

Bon honestly the only dangerous part about Kail doing that is that she risks more of Dicks venom. The rest of the house could care less what she thinks of Dick and welcomes the idea that she is focused on anyone but them at this time. The house is pretty much playing her the way they are playing Dick. I've said it before but both Dick and Kail are playing lousy games and both are being used.

I am sure that many of the house mates don't like hearing ED bully and publicly tell someone off. It is embarrassing and has to affect the others. I would imagine they want him out of the house. The way he talks to Kail seems like bullying to me. They are probably afraid to say anything even to the ones they are closest to because they know how word spreads throughout the house. I would love to see ED and Amber "have it out" and Amber winning that fight.

Earth...those were not simply game skills. I would bet that Kail is Kail inside as well as outside of this game. Her interpersonal skills could use a bit of refining... So if she were to say, I don't think that she would change her spots...that is who she is

I'm sure they don't like it Kdee, but it is keeping them from having to come to the forefront and become a target so early in the game. It gives them time to find a way to beat him at his own game.

Should Kail go? For Dick it works out great. For the rest of the house? Depends on who she is up against by the time of voting. She's annoying to watch but Dick is annoying to watch so can't really go by that. If this house had a clue they'd realize Nick is probably the biggest threat to all of them. I do think Jameka, Jess, and Erik are fully aware of that. They've been on to his game well before there was any house revelation. What they do see is that Dick is willing to keep him safe. Good move on Dicks part or real bad and lets the house know who else he is playing the game with? If given the chance they need to take him out.

They are not going to go head to head with Dick until they have to. Kail made the mistake of taking this game personally and not jumping right back into his face. She has now given the house the impression that she is weak and no one will allign with someone like that. Zach and Nick realized it before it was too late for them. Mike still thinks he can ride it out with her and save himself as well, time will tell.

I think the house would be fools if they didn't look at every single player and ask how they could use them to their benefit as a number. If they see Kail as a non entity that isn't any threat and can be used for a number more than a few would take her in for the time being. The house will collectively go out after Dick when he is no longer needed as a mouth piece to deflect the radar. No one is going to bring him along to the end. Eric won't want it becuase their games have similar angles to it. Nick needs daddy out of there at a certain point. Jameka and Jessica will not allow that man to reveal their game nor put the radar on them. Like I said he revealed way too much about himself with these grandstanding moments.

I think personally that Dick wants an entertaining season for the viewers. He wants to create controversy and it's working. It is more rewarding to him to have his name on the lips of thousands of people than to actually get to end game. I know there are a lot of people here who love the showmance, everybody loves each other, kumbya bb, but personally I hate it. It is a snore.

One think I do admire about Jen is how she handles Dick and how she handles being on the block. I think it is fun that she won't let them get to her....says "if the vote me out....I go home" no big deal!!! I hope she stays awhile.

If that's what he wants, EM, he failed miserably. I'm just about ready to write this season off. He's beaten Kail down. That's not game. That's his abusive personality.
