Language has changed so much over the last twenty years. The f word is thrown out three or four times in a sentence these days, the C word and P word are commonly used toward men and women and everyone is a or Ho. Dick definately lives in that world of language being used like that. I've heard my sons talk like that when talking to their friends, tho they don't talk like that when talking to me.
It's a different world...with different words. My gosh, I used to flush bright red when I heard the F word during a movie. Now I hear it a hundred times a day just passing people talking on their cell phones.

Another thing about EDick that I, and many predicted.....

EDick has got an ego as big as California, and when he got HoH....he would "trip" on the POWER....and so far, he HAS....

He cannot SHUT UP to the people who make him mad....and he is making sure that ALL of the HG's including his "friends" (aka Amber, Dustin, Nick) behave in the way HE thinks is the best....

And if ANYONE goes against what EDick says....the will wreak the WRATH OF EVIL!!!!!

IT'S GOOD TO BE THE KING!!!! (for a week...watch out Evil!)

Jen this is a game. If I had played the game the way Kail and Jen have then I would also have made sure I had a plan for what would happen if I got caught in something...

The first time he called me on something,

I would just laugh, tell him he is making a fool of himself, and that he isn't making sense. Maybe we should go outside so you can have a ciggerette and see what has you so upset. I don't want you to have a stroke, it's just a game. (but what does Kail do?) "whatever Dick", rolls eyes and the spends two days bitching about how she was treated.

I'll give Jen credit, she handled it well, even though she deserved to be called out, she pissed him off by being so inconsiderate.

Have you read the Dick hate thread @ SS? More dislike than like there and his son's posting there. His son seems very nice. Some of the people @ SS were banned @ Jokers because they didn't like him, lol.

Jen is distancing herself from Kail now. I would assume she thinks it might keep her off the block. It may or may not. Depends how successful Dustin is if it's Jen he's trying to keep off the block.

I guess everyone has a different opinion of what is acceptable behavior.

I just think that Dick, just like the rest of this cast, is incapable in expressing himself properly. So we hear a lot of cuss words. Similarly, we hear a lot of 'like' and 'totally' and 'ya know' from many of the HG.

The producers cast a bunch of people who can't really communicate well....LOL, it's pretty funny to watch!

I think that poll is useless this year for a few reasons. First, it is so buried it takes 15 min to find it. So I question who all is even voting, and taking all that effort. I've only gone twice, and the last time, last nite, was even harder to find it since that java box was loaded with stuff and it kept skipping past it. Also, the TV edits this year have been SO distorted from reality. So who all is voting, and do they have the feeds? I've paid attention to them in the past, but this year I feel they mean nothing.

And btw Thanks for the nice words Bee! Forgot to say that before. Glad I can save you typing lol

I got a feeling that if Dani or her friends dont HOH D & D are going back up and Dick will be gone.

I guess Mike isn't going to confront Zach? That's who Dustin should work on.

They can't afford to say anything right now. Once POV is done the house will do what they want with who is nominated.

Wow i guess perception is reality here on the board as well as in the house.

I don't see Dick has being on a power trip at all. What i see is people going to him giving up others people and him going to those people to get the story straight.

As for telling Amber what to do it has nothing to do with him being a bully or demanding she do what he says. I see it has protecting himself.

Other people in the house can say the same things to people and no one here is jumping on them about making others play their way. It's just Dick.
When Jameka told Dustin he needed to move out of the bed with amber no one jumped all over her.

EM, I agree that Jen and Kail have played badly, though Kail much worse than Jen. I don't mind that Dick called them out. I do disagree with the yelling, anger, cussing, and very bad language he's used. And bullying. He's trying to get them to back down and bow down to him. As a woman, I don't appreciate that treatment of women.

Language has changed, but that doesn't make it acceptable or okay.

Also, I think the way Kail reacted to Dick was because she's not used to being yelled at like that or confronted like that in front of others.

Jen took it more in stride. She's probably experienced it more in her life than Kail.

So I guess Dick is rude since he has called almost every woman in the house a name?

First of all C1mag I would have hitched my wagon to the strongest member of the house on day one and that would have been "Dick".. After those 8 years in baseball I can spot BS a mile away (anytime they come to you and make it sound like they want something for the good of the organization..and ask what will this guy get out of this? If you think long enough you figure out what their personal agenda is. I know how to handle men with big egos. Personally (most men) have the ego (mines bigger than yours) thing going on and some women (Jen) do too.. Those kind of men are very easy to control because egos can be stroked without losing your control over the situation.

These women didn't prepare for this show and it shows.

LOL Well Kale least you are watching same feeds as I am hehe. It is funny how vastly different Dick is being perceived.

To address something C1 said, I personally would rather deal with a blunt, in your face type like Dick than someone who says one thing to your face and another thing behind it. Plus I am sure some of this is partly strategy. Good or bad, too soon to call.

But my guess is he really wants to be known as the person who has no secrets, and who has called it exactly as he sees it to everyone. While that might be annoying now, it might be increasingly attractive as time goes on and HG find that their alliancemates have lied to them, misled them etc. If someone is hurt they may find Dick's style appealing then. We'll see.

Also, I would dislike him much more if I heard him talk to ALL women negatively, but I just haven't. Only those who were a direct threat to him, and who were trashing him. And though loud and sometimes abrasive, there almost always is a great deal of truth, albeit a bit judgemental, in all he says.

If I were in the house and had to decide between trusting him or say Mike right now, I'd go for him cause I know where he stands. Mike??? I wasn't sure he had vocal cords for awhile lol

Jen I totally agree with your last sentence.

I don't mind at all that Dick "called someone out" how he goes about it? Thats a whole different story. He hasn't revealed anything about anyone that isn't new. So it just comes off as hot air. So if we are talking just game moves it doesn't help him at all with the house. It tells them he will reveal everything outloud and that just won't get you to the end of this game. If he thinks some will be afraid to put him up he's nuts. It sure didn't stop Kail from going nuts trying to get him out.

We are saying he is acting like a bully towards Jen/Kail. That's not calling him names. He refers to Kail/Jen as that "b*tch." Why? He doesn't need to keep doing that. He's in control.

If Dustin's plan to get Zach nommed (if that's what he is doing) keeps Jen off the block, he will mess up Eric's AP work. I wonder Eric will handle that?

Kale, I think it's Dick's approach that people either love or hate.

For instance, he could have asked to speak to Amber in private and have a talk with her about her behavior. If he was really her friend, he would have done that. Instead, he calls her out in front of others, which instantly puts her on the defensive and she doesn't stand up to him. People interpret it as 'bullying', and in the case of the unstable, emotional Amber, it could be seen that way.

I think that a lot of the people in the house just lack basic social skills. Many people find this funny, some find it hurful.

It sure is nice to discuss this here at TVCH, where it remains reasonable and friendly.
