Seems like there is more proof of DR tampering. Its being told that DR is pushing Zach and Jen to save Dick and are coaching Eric how to accomplish this goal. HOWEVER Jen and Dick stated that they are voting out Dick thank god!

The DR has inside information. They are watching everything. It would be stupid to not consider what the DR is telling you... there's a reason for their existence! And I know Jen is not stupid

Streetsmart, I just posted this in the 'betting on who's leaving' thread: "I have this awful feeling that the DR is controlling this vote to keep Dick in the house. Apparently AC is Dustin. The DR will work Zach and Jen to vote Dustin out. Along with AC (Eric) and Danielle, there are Dick's 4 votes to stay. I'm really starting to hate how production is interfering with the voting. They might as well just end the game right now and give D/D the prize money. Then I get my summer back!" This annoyed me last week when they apparently influenced things to keep Eric over Kail because Eric is their stupid twist. I believe they are doing the same thing this week with pushing for Dick to stay. I am seriously wondering if this will be the last year of my BB addiction. Not sure what the point is in watching the hamsters, if the producers are controlling who stays and who leaves. They might as well just get writers and make a sitcom out of it.

I agree totally Rosem. I will let CBS know how I feel about it by not getting the feeds if there is a next year.

if eric tells jess that he is voting out dustin and she agrees, all she has to do is tell zach to vote out dustin. zach said he would vote however she wanted. jen is the wildcard and eric needs to talk to her. i don't think the dr is swaying people. i think they just go through different scenerios with the hgs and point out the positives of the opposing person who the hgs want to evict.

The DR ALWAYS influences the vote. They do it every year, but it's usually for people I like (ie Janie) so I don't mind. Everyone knows on Survivor Jeff P. tries to sway people to vote a certain way by the questions he asks. That's why tribal councils are like 2 hours long, but we only see a few minutes. Also BB wants to keep their AP in the house so it isn't good to keep having his vote stand out. I want Dick to stay so I hope the DR influence works!!!

Of course they want the best TV and will try and sway it that way....First they would want to save Dick....and second Dustin getting the boot would be priceless.

It has been over 40 years since I read 1984 but I think that the DR influencing the hamsters is legitimate. The problem we are having this year is that it seems to be more blatant. This year's players are more savvy to the show and the actual producing of it so we are seeing the maturing of the contestants (not action-wise,just show-wise.)

Zach and Jen will vote out Dick. Period. And along with Daniele's vote and America's vote, Dustin will be shaking Julie's hand in about nine hours!

So, costacat, you're saying that Jam and Amber are also voting out Dustin, because I only see 4 votes up there. Zach and Jen vote out Dick AP and Daniele vote out Dustin Where do you see Dustin shaking Julie's hand in 9 hours?

I thought BB was swaying to keep Dick after half of that veto comp was guzzling gross concoctions. As if that comp wasn't geared toward him, the seasoned bartender. Looked like it was tacked on with the other comp just to give him an edge. Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if the DR did try to sway HGs to keep Dick.

From a drama standpoint, I really want to see Dustin voted out. While she really doesn't know all that much about the show, even Julie is going to get a kick out of it when Dustin sits down next to her. Marcellus will welcome him with open arms as the newest member of the "how could I be so stupid club". While Joe is not the most appealing player, the look on his face when we see him on the finale will be so joyous. And, even in sequester, Dustin will not be able to play the royal pain in the butt that he has become because he will be totally discounted. I really hope this happens, I need a good laugh Thursday night.

Of course they're swaying the votes. as the most popular player goes...so go the ratings. Allison wants a hit so CBS will hire her again next year. It all about the $'s baby! ETA: I hope if it is Dustin that goes, Julie slaps him in the head with her cards like she did to Marci!

Why do people keep comparing this to Marcellus. It's completely different. Dustin didn't have control of putting himself on the block. Marcellus did. And Marcellus could only be fooled by his housemates. Dustin's housemates would keep him so he wouldn't be fooled. It would be America's doing. It's not his fault he doesn't know that America hates him and there's a mole in the house playing for America. So I just don't get the Marcellus comparisons. I think they are COMPLETELY different.

Chouchou, You should NEVER have the confidence to put yourself on the block. Regardless if you know your votes or not. It always makes you a target. That's why it's like Marci.

The problem I have with BB controlling the houseguest is that this is suppose to be a game show, with a 500,000 prize, so they should not decide who gets the money, it should be on game play.

But Dustin had no physical control over whether or not he could actually be on the block. That is where Marcy's stupid lay, that he had actual, physical power and screwed himself over. Dustin can brag all he wants, but the power was still out of his hands. Marcellus had all the power in the world. I just think it's completely different. If you have a veto, why would you not use it to save yourself. That was Marcy's situation. Dustin wasn't on the block, he wasn't the HOH and he didn't hold the POV, so there's not as much idiocrity there because he doesn't contain any sort of physical power to keep himself off the block anyway, like, Marcellus did. Furthermore, the addition of America's Player wasn't even conceivable then. If Eric wasn't America's Player, Dustin wouldn't be going home. He wouldn't. So I don't see why Dustin is such an idiot, because the only reason he will go home, if he even does, is because of America's Player. He's not an IDIOT because he WOULD beat Dick and he still can. He is not an idiot for thinking his alliance would vote him over Dick, because they would! But the vote of someone in his alliance, their vote is essentially out of their control. So I don't think Dustin is an idiot. It's so easy for us to sit back and think he's an idiot because Eric is our puppet, but to Dustin Eric is just a guy in his alliance

I on't think BB is really "controlling" them on their votes. They may influence and prod them, but when it comes time and they sit down to vote, the name that comes out of their mouth is their own choice. BB has lost players early that I'm sure they would have liked around before. They can talk and talk but the final vote at show time is up to the player (well, except in Eric's case...). Every election there are ads and people campaigning to get people elected, but when you go in the voting booth, you decide for yourself which way to go.

I can't type and I can't add (hadn't had my second cup of coffee when I posted). Here is what I meant!! Zach and Jen will vote out Dustin. Period. And along with Daniele's vote and America's vote, Dustin will be shaking Julie's hand in about 32 hours!
