You know which one... the argument near the end of the show with Dick on the hammock and he and Eric are yelling at each other about how the voting has gone 2 weeks in a row.

I think that Dick ate Eric's lunch.

Did you see it the same way?

BB edited out the part where Eric yells back and informs Dick that he will be "marching out the door" if he ever yells at him again. It was just so funny that Eric did score a point or 2 with that. Dick won.

On the show he said it? I must have missed it. Suffering a horrible cold right now, I may have blacked out!

Thanks for letting me know. :-)

Dick came across as a total bully. Even Daniele, his Lady Macbeth, was trying to get him to shut up.

Eric won that round hands down. Dick just threw yet another tantrum.

As usual, with all these things, a person's view of who wins an argument may be influenced by who they liked before the argument.

Dick looked kind of foolish and blustery but he was making some good points. Eric was flustered but he stood his ground and made some good points in return.

I'd call it a draw.

I agree Jimmer.

I don't think Dick knows how to have an "argument" without getting all up in arms. I thought he felt like Eric was telling him to just forget about those votes and Dick was freaking out about it. Sometimes I think he thinks he has to be loud to be heard. Eric didn't back down though.

I think it just went all wrong. Dick didn't win for sure, he just let his emotions get the worse of him. ERic is the calm one. I vote that we let Eric tell the hg's that he hasn't got to vote one time. And then start letting him vote the way he wants. Why not just let America cast a vote without actually having an AP?

Eric won.

I think he successfully pointed out that the way in which Dick was putting the spotlight on everyone else for the Nick vote, was doing nothing but putting the spotlight on himself for being so obnoxious about it.

I agree, Denecee, since we are all voting what his vote is going to be, just let him vote his way, and count our vote as an additional vote.
What would BB have done with their big twist if he had been evicted already? Or if he's the 5th evictee this week as D/D want?

In my opinion, Dick didn't even have to open his mouth to win this one. Eric sat there with the "Cat that ate the canary" look on his face. Nothing short of branding the letters "GUILTY" on Eric's forehead would have made it any clearer. The others simply don't care. Their only concern is to keep enough in there to do the dirty work for them - (taking out Dick, Dani, Jen and Zach).

My question is- why does everyone in that house seem terrified of Dick and also why does America keep telling Eric to get Jen voted out instead of the abusive bartender?

Whenever Dick is unable to control his negative emotions ( aka temper tantrums), his opponent, as the target of his wrath, automatically wins.

And, OT, where was Dick's much ballyhooed "up-front style" and "keeping it real" during his interactions with Nick last week. He wasn't "telling-it-like-it-is" at all.

Good point Tide. He was very sketchy with Nick all week - which makes this weeks attitude so ridiculous.

The thing I noticed with Eric in the hot tub was all the squirming, shifting, repeated touching of the face and the pitch of voice going up. All clear signs of a liar caught and trying to worm his way out. Not convincing at all.

Looks like CBS needs to let us vote .....Eric's Choice, instead of specific people. Eric is there to win it all like all of them, even the extras on the side. Maybe we need to let the AP make a choice from time time.

I was cringing every time Eric tried to talk to Dick... Not only were his words forced but as someone else pointed out the look on his face gave everything away. Instead of letting the "cut" heal-- he just kept picking the "scab". I thought Eric's game-play was pretty good up until that point. Now he's acting like a scared kid.

In that video, Eric made a comment to Dick that ED desecreated Jen's belongings. What is he talking about?

Dick bullies the entire house even his daughter but he wasn't as successful this time around with Eric. I'd give the hot tub confrontation to Eric.

D&D are going to feel foolish once they watch the tapes. Dick puts himself out there as some sorta of alpha player but he's more like a remedial player.

I predict Dick will cry foul over AP....no way will he take AP well.

I know Eric is trying to cover his ass with his lies (cause there's nothing he can do about them...), but he is getting way too defensive and he's just grating on me. I suppose it's cause I know for a fact that he is lying and that's probably what's so annoying about it. That and yeah, he isn't a very good liar, really. His voice does get high, his face changes- on the show when he and Dick were talking at the table and he was listing everyone, when he said "everyone knows it can't be me because I was pushing so hard to get Nick out"- he had one of those kind of high pitched laughs when he said that about himself.

I think it kinda sucks for Eric to be put in this situation, and I have to remind himself that he isn't totally at fault, but it's still made me start to dislike him. Maybe it's just the way he's handling it that I'm not liking.

Good morning all! While I think they both looked absolutely ridiculous, if I had to pick a "winner" I would pick Dick. Dick was his normal loud in your face self while Eric, who up to this point has been able to have a conversation with others where they disagree without getting all worked up, blew it. After the banner, he would have served himself much better if he had just not taken the bait. It comes across, even in the LFs, as someone who is trying to hard and he has totally changed his behavior. That, to me, in this game has usually been a sign of guilt. Oh well, basically I just felt bad for Daniele because Dick keeps putting her in these situations where she has to bail both of them out.
