Just watching Dick in that hot-tub scene with Eric made me physically ill. The guy is SO abusive and nasty and his language is disgusting. This is certainly not entertainment or "good TV" IMO. When did our standards drop so much???

Eric tried to not look guilty but that really did not work,but Dick's crazy rant deflected from Eric's inabilty to defend himself.So I guess it was a draw.

If anyone else had done it Eric would have been toast.

Holly- I so agree with you on Dick. I am tired of watching him go off on people. Who died and made him king of the house. His actions in the house bother me. He is a nasty bully. I have my fingers crossed that either he or daughter go next week.
While I'm at it. What is up with Jen siding with them and being their puppet. They both have been nasty to her since being in the house. Now they want to be friends? Is Jen that numb that she can't see what is going on here?

The minute someone has to raise their voice and toss things to get their opinion heard and accepted, IMO, they've lost the argument. Dick lost both arguments because he does all of those things. And while he may prance around patting himself on the back for "telling it like it is", he looks like a fool doing it.

You can see more of yesterday's hot-tub argument (without the sound effects) in our own Live Feed Video thread.

I can't stand the way Dick argues and I hope he does see himself as the bully he is when watching this season.

Again, why does the whole house seem scared of him?

Dick loses every arguement in my opinion. He gets too emotional. I doubt he even pays attention to the other person because he is too busy making a big performance. He is just so full of himself. In his mind if he talks louder and bullies he considers that winning. But he just ends up looking like a jerk and nobody really agrees with him. The house has seen how he treats Jen and nobody wants to be on the other end of that wrath. So they don't confront him often which he takes as meaning they agree with him. Really it means they dismiss anything he says.

Dick is one of the biggest bullies I have witnessed in my life. And I have seen people bully. He may be emotional but he puts more in to it than he really feels. It is his way of "owning" the house. Who will stand up to that until they know for sure the others will stand with them?

The others are standing around happy it is not them. I lost all respect for several hg when they stood around while he degraded Jen. I was actually embaressed for them. Glad at lease Eric is pretending to stand up to him.

But it's funny, it's not bothering me this time as much as it bothered me when he was bullying Jen.
Maybe because we know that this time he's got a motive to insist Eric is lying. Let's face it, Eric got caught and Dick being all over him for this was expected and I find myself tolerating his rants.
We'll have to see if he goes off on Jen again for not apparent motive or starts hammering Jessica or Jameka, then I'll be ready to agree he's the absolute bully. But for now the whole thing with Dick and Eric is just funny to me.

Eric had it coming IMO. From the other HGs viewpoint, he's lying for his own needs. I feel bad for Eric in a small way because he's simply playing the cards he's dealt however he can. I know people like Dick and for me it's not a problem. If you're weak-willed they'll test you, but otherwise they leave you alone.

Watching Dick's temper and abusive language makes me realize why Danielle distances herself from him.
He may have "won" the argument but he didn't win any brownie points with me.
He's just a hotheaded bully.
And it's really a shame because I used to like him but no more.

agreed. I know that Dani comes off as kind of snotty at times, but I have a bit of a soft spot for her because I can't imagine how tough it must been having Dick as a father / role model.

Dick was actually one of my favorites early on, but his perpetual harsh and sour attitude is a turn off. He actually laughed in a DR a couple of eps ago, and I was surprised at how much better he looked.

I liked ED a lot at first, but he needs to take a deep breath before he goes into attack mode. He brings more attention upon himself. Now I didn't see anything of the Eric/ED argument aside from what was shown on TV, but Eric kept his cool while ED just went berserk. He looks like a loose cannon, and Eric looks like he's just observing a melt down.

I hope that he sees himself on TV and makes some changes in his life. His behavior under the microscope just amplifies the way he is in real life. I agree that this is why Dani has pushed him out of her life.

IMO, Dani seems to enjoy it when Dick explodes on the HG's, especially when it benefits her. She likes to see him stir it up. She'll pretend and act like she doesn't like it to the others. But she asked him to wait till Wednesday to confront Dustin in front of the others. So if she really didn't want him to do it, she would be saying not to do it rather than when. That's my opinion.

GO DUSTIN!
