BB has edited Dick to be practically a saint compared to how he really behaves. Of course they are trying to save him. Even Julie Chen in an interview said that they want to milk the father-daughter melodrama some more. Dustin's twist is dead, so he's expendable.

Bubba, it is NOT a game show. It is an unscripted TV show. The house guests are paid a per diem for being on the show. (I think they may even be required to get an actors union card before they go in.) The last one out doesn't win a prize. They get a bonus for being in the house longer than the rest. Since it's not a game show, anything goes.

Couchou. I don't think Jessica would have put up Dustin if he hadn't asked. He wanted to prove a point. That makes it a bad move.

Hobbs, I agree with you, it is a TV show and it is all about ratings. AND until the polls show that people dont like Dick, then the producers would be stupid not to try and keep him in. Thats what they get paid to do.

Dustin agreeing to go on the block was a very bad idea. It is always a risk to be nominated. It is even worse this year because of the repeated weird votes (i.e. America's Player) that keep coming up. Dustin should have realized that. Jessica would never have nominated him if he hadn't agreed and we wouldn't even be having this discussion. With respect to the DR – Yes they can and do influence people. Can they make people do things? No – as demonstrated by events on previous seasons. Once again, as people have said, it is not a game show. These people are being paid. They get a bonus for winning. Is the show supposed to be fair? Can it be fair? I don't think so. By its very premise the show is unfair.

I hope you're right Costacat. I'm more concerned about Jessica. Nobody sees her as the biggest threat in the house. Whoever gets HoH needs to put her up and out. Even if Dick stays I don't see D/D in final2. I keep seeing Jessica winning and I don't want that. The only thing wose would be Jameka or Amber winning, especially Jameka. Dick is every bit the star of this season just as Janelle was the star in hers. They will not let their star ratings getter go. Good for you CBS.

the people who want Dick out of the house didn't have a problem when the DR influenced the HGs to keep Eric. Now that the DR is influencing them to keep Dick, it IS a problem. hmmm....

The reverse could also be said, Flamingo.... many of the people who raised a fit about the DR influencing Eric to stay are now rejoicing that the influence is on Dick to stay. Hmmmmm? It should either not be allowed at all or we should all deal with it as part of the game. Personally, I do think CBS exerts influence in how they want things to play out and I just shrug it off. I don't like it, but it is not likely to change.

I was ticked off that the DR saved Eric last week but if they save Dick this week and we get equal manipulation I'll be fine and just except that it is no longer really a game just a production.

Unfortunately, it's never equal manipulation unless there is no manipulation at all.

It never was really a game. There has always been manipulation. If the Houseguests were bound and determined to get Dick out, they could have done it. No one forced Jessica to nominate Dustin.

Ooooh yeah. If they keep Dick and he starts going off on people again, I'm just gonna shake my head and think, "Well, you had your chance!"

Dick is the star of the show, no question. BB2 had Nicole who nobody could understand wasn't booted from day 1, BB8 has Dick. I want to see every HG get a smart moment and get Jessica out next week.
