It's so gross. I think that is violating a houseguest's safety to do something like that. Did he get a warning or anything?

I don't think having iced tea dumped on your head is exactly violating safety. The knife incident with Krista in season 2, that was a safety issue. I think in the DR they told him to take it down a notch.

Unless the tea had acid in it...I don't get the danger. Is there something toxic about tea that I'm unaware of?

It was not against the rules of BB. The houseguests sign a contract. Iced tea poured over the head is not a safety hazzard and he was given a warning

Growing up, my family often got into water fights around the dinner table. I don't think my parents would have allowed us to dump water or tea, or pop on each others heads if it was dangerous.

According to Dick they told him it was just short of crossing the line.

it was really crossing the personal space line in my book. If you are in someone's face and saying threatening things to them, then you do ANY THING physcial to them, that should be a violation. The tea itself is not a problem, like if it was friendly goofing around, but the way he did it, and the anger and viciousness behind it made it scary to me.

No, tea isn't toxic KS. HAHA. Your sarcasm kills me. <57> Pouring tea on someone isn't *harmless* Like, oimg, it's just tea. No it's not. It's not that simple. This man is obviously becoming increasingly more malicious and aggressive towards jen. I would be scared of him. <57> Being bullied is not fun and not safe. The sadism will only get worse. And if anything is toxic, it is bullying. It's not the tea that is the problem

I think there are worse safety hazards in the food comps.

BB did reprimand him for his actions. And he did calm down. Later he went outside and Nick was still all fired up. Nick tried to get Dick riled again telling him he would like to bash Jen's head with the over sized golf club and saying other unkind words. Dick told him it wasn't worth it and dropped the subject.

From what I saw in a video, it appeard the glass actually made contact with the top of Jen's head. I couldn't tell if that was the avatar made of it or if it really touched her head. I don't know why it wouldn't be assault if it did touch her.

Cricket - If the glass had touched her she would have been in the DR before the excess tea hit the floor.

BB has set a precedent, pouring tea on someone is not crossing the line. Would love to see ED's reaction if someone did that to either him or Dani just before the live show. (I know, I've said that before )

ED better check himself, he could go due to his lack of control and animosity towards Jen. If her head and glass had connected she would have had every right to be in the DR. She could have potentially sued ED and CBS and been rolling in dough.

For the record the cup was plastic not glass. If that makes any difference.

if it is that hard to distinguish weather the glass actually grased her hair, then I would suggest that it didn't harm her... This reminds me of a certain BBAS veto player who claims he was harmed..."a little harm, but a harm nonetheless"...I think we could all laugh at how silly he was, now let's not build the tea into something...

Ok, I'm in Minneapolis and in the last 20 hours or so, I haven't had time to watch the Feeds or read much on here due to extensive viewing on TV of our Bridge Collapse. That said...what did I miss? What is this "tea incident?" Can someone fill me in or direct me to a link about it? Thanks all!

I don't even think the tea incident is the point. Dick has been using intimidation as a means to get ahead in the game (seems to be backfiring now) and has threatened physical violence. Specifically, he said if he is in sequester with Jen, BB would need more security because he would kill her and told Jen that when they get out she would have to get his boot surgically removed from her butt. He has said he wants to slap her, wishes she would die a slow, painful death, made comments about crushing bones, etc. Whether it is his intention to really hurt Jen is irrelevant. The fact that he even thinks like that is a cause for concern or at least it should be. By Dick's own admission, he knows he is verbally abusing Jen and is taunting her in attempt to get her to DOR. He even said BB doesn't care what he does as long as he brings in the ratings. IMO, that's pathetic. This kind of "entertainment" is at the expense of other people's feelings and it's disgusting, not funny, at least for me. No matter what Jen said to offend him, it's not okay and happened WEEKS ago. I am as equally disgusted that NO ONE has stood up for Jen and some have even encouraged him. Granted Jen does a great job defusing and not letting him "tear her down," but that isn't even the point. The one guy in the house that could have stood up for Jen and put Dick in his place, not only watched Dick harass Jen, he joined in. That being said, I am glad Nick is going home and that other houseguests are getting sick of it. That's my Dick rant for the day and am done now :-).

It was James that was "harmed." Funny as heck!

Throwing an object that hits another person is a battery, provided it occurred in a rude, angry or insolent manner. I'm pretty sure Dick could and would have been yanked over this incident if the producer's wanted to do it. They probably just didn't want to spoil their Dick and Dani show. I also wonder whether Jen backed off while talking to the producers. I think if she'd thrown a big enough fit he would have been yanked.

Well put Klaw - Thankfully you omitted the even cruder outbursts from ED (Drano and sodomy)
