Lesley LOL it's the likeability factor that plays into it. We talked about it yesterday. We give passes to your favs we can't help it. I am hyper aware that Jen has some of the most annoying qualities but yet she gets a pass from me. Can't explain it. My wife is shocked that I like her in that house. Her attitude goes against the very fiber of who I am as a human being but I'll be damned I like that woman.

C1 did you see my initial post? My comment is based on the irony that those who are despising Dick for his bullying tactics are doing the identical things in their dislike of him here.

Believe me I've ignored a gazillion for every one comment I make. I just find it very amusing that some are doing exactly what they say they can't stand in terms of behavior! Just a point/food for thought.

See, I hated Howie's going off on April and I caught heck here because I said so. But he was a SOV and as such could do no wrong. That's why I just shake my head that some of those same people that justified Howie are condemning Dick.

But I have seen a lot of comments about Women who do not find Dick revolting being somewhat less of a woman, having no respect for themselves etc.

LOL Well, maybe I am less than a woman in some people's eyes!

I don't think he's a prince, for sure. I just think he's a human guy who is immature in some ways. I still like him. I don't see him as harassing or berating Kail, either. I just watched the Showtime thing and it seemed to be that he was being very direct and very blunt. He doesn't have great social skills, but he was not BSing her and not threatening her. He was telling her she's gone unless she wins the veto. He told her he fought like crazy to stay and she should do the same if she wants to stay. He said he's not "God" so therefore, her fate is not in his hands as she kept saying. He said her fate is in her own hands. He just nominated her because he can't trust her.

He is gruff, rude, etc. but he is not abusive. I know people like this in real life and try to look past the gruff crap.

I'm not excusing him at all, just saying how he seems to me.

Inflated ego, heck yeah. I still like the guy.

I really don't get the comparisons between he and Cappy, either.

Oh well, this is my last comment on this, but I read all of this board all the time and I have a different point of view. It seems to me that anything written about Dick that is critical of his actions is hotly disputed. It's like no one is allowed to not like what he does or to disapprove of him. You are seen as prejudiced against his appearance or a snob or something if you complain about his actions.

I don't know why that's true, Ladytex, but I'm one of those also that didn't have a problem with Howie going off on April. I thought it was because of April's backstabbing gameplaying.

Smokey: I compare the "gruffness" and loudness between the two. That's it. Well, there is also the ego thing...

I think if dick was truly a bully he'd be picking on the weaker people in the house. He's targeting someone who up until a few days ago was very strong and he's trying to make her position in the house weak to further his own game.

C1, don't let this go to your head, but I began to see Jen in a different light because of your posts about her last week. This is why I like this board. She's not my favorite, but she makes the house more interesting.

Yeah, I didn't have a problem with Howie going off on April either and I think it's for the same reason that Cricket gave.

I read it Lurk but it really is a 50/50 thing. I think the most important thing that we are doing as a group is trying our best to maintain things and we all know after years of experience when to pull back. It's a challenge but it can be met. I'm actually very impressed so far. I've not seen it get out of hand at all and when it starts to it appears no matter where someone is at with liking or disliking someone it all comes full circle and we move forward.

And...he targeted Jen when she was hoh and at her most powerful. He's not really fitting the definition of a bully. Now if he starts picking someone who has no alliances and has the personality of a mouse I might consider the possibility he's a mean old nasty bully.

But Howie took it to a personal level that Dick has not yet, but he's golden and people didn't like April so that made it okay?

Cheeky, I'd have to say Kail is pretty weak in the house right now for Amber to go after her this morning. That cracked me up. Something about she knew she was fake from the minute she saw her picture. I could have sworn she was talking to Jen.

I've heard that he's a women hater-- don't quite buy it-- remembering when he was standing up for the other HGs and their feelings towards Zach. Kinda reminds me of,,, "cappy". He is a hurt sole and I think he is totally offended by Kail's lying to him-- eventhough it's in the "rules". Deep down, way down, he has dare I say, ethics.

I think he doesn't think before he speaks and that's going to get him evicted. HE needs to remember that this is a game and everyone is watching him-- Howie didn't go to the end either because of his rants, nor did cappy. JMHO

I was actually cheering when Howie went off on April. It was because his brain finally turned on and he realized how played he was and his team was. It was probably one of my favorite BB moments ever. I was so glad I had the feeds on.

I think if Dick were younger and less unorthodox people would chalk it up to "boys being boys". The standard perception of a grown man, a father, is that he be more subtle..

Lesley, The friendship needed someone to tell them off it was building. Dick however tells people off every day, several times a day. It gets old.

Besides Howie was not threatening just yelling B u s t o!

If i was in the house and had a problem with Dick and couldn't handle it myself an if i wasn't jen i would just ask Daniele to say something to him.
Every time She has told him something he has checked himself,

I love my husband but sometimes he needs my to tell him to put a sock in it.

Love Dick but yes he talks a lot and the tone of his voice clearly gives people the impression he is angry and yelling even when he isn't.

Dick is a Bartender which is maybe something people should remember for these reasons..
1) bars are loud thus he would have to BE loud to be heard
2) Is job is talking.
3) he has to deal with drunks which can often mean repetitive conversations.
4) He works in a Bar, you really can't be a non-confrontational person to run a place like. that.
