I dont see any bashing. My saying to get over it was a general statement and not personally to you.

Also, I would like to say that I am a smoker, and I would NEVER blow smoke in someones face. If I ever did, I would expect to get slapped. She should have use all the force she could and slapped that cigarette right out of his hand. By the way I dont like Jen at all, just so everyone knows. She could probably sue him for subjecting her to a cancer causing agent.

I know Milos... I am pointing out that others have had the same actions yet, they do not suffer the same criticism's. I haven't even said I am a "Dick" fan. I actually liked other houseguests. However, I do try and be fair in my criticism and sorry, wrong is wrong and the blame can be spread around in all of this. I pointed out prior seasons as they are the basis also for some of the "rules" BB has. The why didn't you speak then comment makes no sense. There has been physical violence that BB allowed to go... maybe because it was a woman and a homosexual male, I have no clue why. BB cut back on the beer distribution after that. Don't feel your are being bashed Milos, some ppl just apparently feel more extreme. My husband sat here watching the entire thing and says also that IF Dick had been the way to swat and hit at Jen like this then he would have been led out right then, not just given a penalty nom.

I watched the vids as well and unless I'm missing something I don't see where she did anything outside of the rules. It was stupid but her target was the Cig. Now I totally understand some penalty about the eating but I can get where she is at with all of that as well. Dick has either stood at the line getting warning after warning for comments he has made or outright broken the rules ( the direct physical threats ) and he walks out of the situation with a slap on the hands. Even durring their truce when he was desperate to get her vote and he was appologizing saying he would verbally attack her anymore she said, "But what about the death threats?" and he got nervous and said, " I didn't mean them it's just a game" and she looked at him and said, " Tell that to my family" He knows it was over the line and he admitted it himself. She figures this has all been a joke. I understand why a person would be frustrated. Her reaction to all of it is disappointing but this year it's all so over the line even I have said I probably would actually walk as well. Something is way off with the whole situation. When she gets out and realizes how he remained in the game she's probably going to be even more pissed when she see's the show directly pushed to keep him there. Personally I think he should have been either taken out of the game or gotten a penalty nom for threatening her and dumping the tea on her head to send a clear message to the current players and anyone in the future. Call someone a name but there will be a no tolerance level with the direct in your face threats and throwing or dumping something on someone will also not be tolerated.

I don't know why some people on here can't accept that everyone is allowed to have their own opinion of this game. I don't know why if someone disagrees with someone else's opinion they are haters.

Sorry, I don't see dumping tea as any physical violence. If it had been bleach or a cleaning agent, yes. Jam has been in others face waving her fingers, calling names etc yet it's ok somehow. I think BB is to blame for all of this getting to this point bottom line. This has been good for their ratings somehow and like a train wreck waiting to happen. However, I do not think Dick is the physical abuser he has been made out to be or else when this occured Jen would have been flat on her rear end not being told 'don't touch me' and him trying to lean away from her.

If the victim has been actually touched by the person committing the crime, then battery has occurred. If the victim has not actually been touched, but only threatened, then the crime is considered to be assault.

Janelle breaking James' finger way way worse than this "slap".

Technically, what Dick has been doing is called makeing terroistic threats. If someone telling another person they are going to kick their but is terroistic, then Dick's behavior definately qualifies.

CBS should just take the show off the air. AG blew it when she casted this bunch. I have never seen such a bunch of whiners, haters and lunatics in my life. How many times have we seen someone want out of the house this year? Carol, Kayle, Dani, Amber. Maybe even more. It's ridiculous and I'm over it. Done. I'll go watch recordings of season 2.

Oh please, bringing terrorism into this is going a bit too far.

That's the point, Milosmom, but that situation was more violent than what I saw Jen do.

That was in an competition wasn't it and so I don't think that was intentional, just part of a contact comp. The Beau and Janie slap fest was more on line w/ this w/ both parties fighting. I just think CBS has set all this up by rewarding someone for destroying someone's clothing, allowing some of this behavior to happen, egging votes, etc... the ratings are showing it to be working however, so not sure whom is to be blamed anymore.

Good thought Shop. CBS used messing with someone's belongings as an AP task. What can they do now? I do remember Jen saying they told her it would be ok to throw Dicks cigs in the pool, now it's a no, no. CBS is more confused than we are now. LOL

I have a friend who's child was told by another child that he was going to kick his butt. When the police were called out the officer stated that the other child could be arrested for making a terroristic threat. Dick did not tell anyone that he was going to kick their butt, he said he would kill them. If saying "Im going to beat you up" is a terroristic threat, then saying "Im going to break your windpipe" has to qualify.

Was Eric saying he was going on a murdering spree a terrositic act too or is he exempt?

My take on throwing his cigarettes in the pool was that it would be ok if she threw a pack in the pool, what she did was find his entire supply and destroy them. Besides the shirt wasn't destroyed by the mustard but the cigarettes were destroyed.

Shop the sad fact is that if there was a public execution on TV it would be the highest rated show of all time. It doesn't mean it's good TV. The biggest problem I'm having with this season is the blatant manner in which BB is going about getting these ratings. The control they have over the outcome of this years game is off the hook ridiculous. For that alone the show should be yanked because we aren't really watching a game we are watching a sitcom of a middle aged vulgar man and his estranged daughter being walked to the finish line while he acts 10 years old.

Did Eric go directly to anyone and tell them to their face in a fit of anger he would kill them?
