I'm gonna make one more point then take another break cause truthfully I feel this is more of a challenge than a chat and it's tiring! Esp since I'm defending someone I don't esp love. If Dani wasn't there w/Dick I would find her easily expendable truthfully.

Pretty much all these HG have lied, misled and or betrayed each other at some point by now. Most have floated their way along to stay safe, which isn't my favorite style of gameplay.

When folks wonder why I like Dick so much, in addition to the only one providing some amusement and personality (beyond the cursing and spitting lol), he has, IMHO played the hardest, dealt the hardest and worked the hardest to get to this point. I would possibly put Eric 2nd behind him BUT given as much coaching as he had by the DR (proven to me by how he went to HG and quoted things they said about the game or others in passing convo, repeatedly. This to me says he got insider info. Once might have been a coincidence, twice raised my eyebrow, after a few more times I have no doubts. So not sure I can give him 2nd. Beyond that who has really played, worked, and strategized? Here's my rundown of the rest of the house so far;

Amber--has cried her way to this point
Jess--has giggled and played blonde and hid behind Eric to this point, while making more friends and less enemies than anyone. I think she is the most dangerous to win at this point. But that doesn't mean I think she has really played hard.
Jen--has been obnoxious, superior and bored as a strategy. Clearly some Chilltown logic I can't process.
Zach--did try an alliance, ran for the hills and now morphs into whoever he is with and tells them whatever they want to hear. Sort of is playing, but it's weasly in my book
Dani--has hidden out with Nick, then whined her way to this point by doing what Dad said, all the while refusing to give him an inch or even a thanks for him giving her a Veto.
Jameka--sorry God is playing her game, so not up to me to critique it

So maybe some like the above style of gameplay...not me. I want to see deals, like Dick took to Eric (and not once have I heard Dick speak of betraying it, but Eric has numerous times). I want to see someone working to win this. Aside from Dick, the only other work I see is Eric and as I said, he has help so he is WAY lower on my ratings. Add that to his going directly against America's wishes with Nick and well, off my root for chart. I personally don't like folks who float to the end, and all the rest are, IMHO, in one way or another, floating along.

I once heard Dani mention something about college - however, my mother pointed out that Dani lives in CA, where you can go to Community College for free and she is not. So, not sure.

This is one year where I really do not care what happens to them. Some I dislike less than others, but not exactly a lovable bunch.

Ali, I heard Dani mention 1 year at some CA college, and she was whining to Dick how she hated everyone there and was all alone (gee that has a familiar ring to it, doesn't it?! lol). Beyond that don't recall a thing either.

Klaw, maybe Amber can work some magic on her trip but I'm not sure. I have to say I've enjoyed Amber more since Dustin is gone. I think Am and Jam both had fun last night playing that table game.

What happens in the Happening thread when nothing is happening? The same thing that happens when you lock 14 people in a house with nothing to do, and no way to distract yourself!

I can't give credit to Dick for taking the F4 deal to Eric. It only worked because America voted for Eric to get Dustin evicted, and Eric wound up having to change his strategy. In Dick's mind it was masterful, but in reality Dick was simply the fortunate recipient of the AP vote.

Where is their outside outing too?

I think if it is somewhere public like a red carpet event where they will receive cheers or jeers Amber might be a liability.

If Amber is booed they will have to bring her back to the house in medicated cocoon.

I can recognize that it isn't D/D's fault that BB is doing what they can to give the game to them - what I feel is disappointment with BB that they felt they had to do this.

It's not free to go to Community College in California. In fact, like everything else out here, it's quite expensive.

Clarification:

Saying you don't like a HG is not bashing.

Saying a HG did something that was stupid is not bashing.

Saying a HG is stupid, mean, ugly, bratty etc. is bashing.

Please read the warning in red at the top of the page.

Thank you.

Thanks for the clarification Mod. One question on the bratty...can we say they are behaving like a 5 yo brat? Not being cocky here, really want to know.

off topic sorry Beek - college classes were free in California when I lived there, but that was decades ago. So it sounds like things have changed.

We can go free to our community college if we are in the top 10% of the graduation class. Two years tution free. Must buy books and pay FSA dues and such.

Last year they sent Janie to a closed set of Two and A Half Men, so maybe they are sending them somewhere like that. Sure hope it is somewhere good or Dani might be upset at BB, and I am sure they won't want that, she might treaten to leave the show, and there would go their happy ending of Father and Daughter reuniting and winning the grand prizes.

Also, what about saying a hg is mean to another because a lot of meaness towards hg;s is quite obviously taking place. not a critisim. Just a behavioral observation. Where is the besy place to get clarification on this. Sorry for typos , fugical in one hand !
