It all comes down on how BB producers will edit the whole mess of Monday night. If they're in favour of Dick (as so many have suggested), he'll be portrayed as the one who actually was attacked by a mad woman and the AP will go against Jen. In all fairness they should show how he came to her to blow smoke to her face and telling her to go cry somewhere else and his humiliating verbal abuse.. As if she has no right to sit in the backyard. If my reaction last night prompted me to ask for Jen to leave the house for her own safety it must have meant that I was shocked (again) at Dick's beaviour and truly feared for Jen. I saw in Dick something very disturbing and I trembled for her. If the show does not make me feel my outrage at the scene, then something wasn't edited right. Or maybe even I am starting to get desensitized by the repetition of it that I won't feel the same way about it. But if it's just "show" they will edit it as a prank by Jen (destroying his cigs) and he hiding her clothes, like two kids left alone in the house (Daniele's absence may have actually prompted Jen to tell him off). Then the situation for Jen will be aggravated by the fact that she broke the slop rule and it may play against her as people watching will think that she just tried to stay one more week in the house. Those voting for AP may be decided by the editing of the show.

I hope they do too, Spunky. It's important that they show how elated Jen was while destroying Dick's property. They also need to show how she purposely broke the eating rule and plopped herself down in the smoking area and then complained about his smoke. I do also hope they show him blowing smoke in her face and her physical reaction to it.

If the TV show is edited fairly, pigs will begin to fly.

Earthmother, it could very well be edited your way... and yes Huk... I believe fairness is non existent in BB show editing.

EM - and how elated was Dick when he threw around all Jen's belongings before the POV Ceremony? If I remember correctly that was the one time that all the HGs rallied around Jen, and I think even Daniele apologized and said he went too far. I don't believe that scene even made it to our TV screen.

I don't see any way BB could unfaily edit this since it was 100% contrived, premeditated and acted upon by Jen. She is lucky she is still in the house. I don't buy into the poor Jen thinking. It became obvious that she had premeditated this sort of scenario since before the show began. I however think she was never told it was ok to destroy his cig's. I remember she swore that Nick tried to kiss her too. I realise she is telling lies as part of her game play and thats ok but, where does she think this is going to help her?

I still don't think we know for a fact that Jen was lying about Nick trying to kiss her, lol.

Tonight they'll show the veto comp, Eric's AP task, Amber's deal with Daniele, Daniele/Amber's night out, commentary from hgs discussing a possible backdoor scenario , and the veto ceremony will be showed at the end of the show as they normally do. They probably will show Jen's reaction to being the replacement nominee and penalty nomination on the live show. That said, I expect Jen will receive a negative edit tonight to set up for her nomination reaction and penalty nomination for the Thursday night show. ETA: Assumption is based on the cookie cutter show format BB has used for years.

Did you forget when Dick threw Jens cloths around it was AFTER she had destroyed 3 packs of his smokes. So by doing the same thing again she was expecting the same reaction- she was looking for him to explode. She was trying to incite him to violence. Dick ran his mouth last night but Jen was the instigator without a doubt.

If the TV show is edited fairly, pigs will begin to fly. So True! plopped herself down in the smoking area and then complained about his smoke. I do also hope they show him blowing smoke in her face and her physical reaction to it. In all fairness Jen was sitting on the sofa first. As a smoker I would have asked if it was ok or would she please move so that I could feed my addiction. As far as the physical bit after he blew smoke in her face, in all fairness, you left out Dick's physical reaction, repeatedly pushing Jen with his leg while saying....Don't touch me, don't touch me. For the record, I don't like Dick or Jen.

Is there a summary somewhere where I could read what happened? I was on a plane all day yesterday.

Yankee, it all started like this: Skydiver6 Member 07-21-2006 Tuesday, August 21, 2007 - 7:07 am -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is what I saw on BBAD on Showtime and I just rewatched it as I wrote it to be sure: Jen is sitting on the outside couch eating and Dick walks out and say f'in idiot, go cry somewhere else and then he lights a cigarette. He walks up to her and as he goes to sit near her he blows smoke AT her on purpose. She says Ewwwww and stands up saying "Don't smoke in my face" and goes for the cig in his left hand. (He is now sitting on the couch) He is saying "Don't touch me" and switches the cig to his right hand. He continues to yell "Don't touch me" She stands there and stops going after his cig and says "Well don't smoke in my face" They go back & forth a few times and then he blows smoke right in her face again and she goes "Arghhhhh" and goes for his cig again. The camera is facing Jen at this point and you see an arm come downs toward her which she sidesteps. Then she tries to grab his cig again. Camera switches to Dick smiling and telling her that she is going to get burned. She keeps trying as he keeps moving it around so she can't get it. He promises she will get burned and then BB stops letting us see the tape. It shows the production room or something and you can see lots of little TV screens in the background and you can sort of see that it continues for a bit longer then they break apart.

But what is fair?? In one person's eyes, fair might be showing Dick for who he really is. Another person might think fair is showing Jen for who she really is. Fair is a different definion for everyone. That's why there are producers...they show what THEY think is fair...

I don't think it's about what the producers think is fair. It's about what they think will garner the biggest ratings. That's why unfair editing is such an issue every single year!

The whole incident started around 7:30pm with Jen following Dick around, as soon as Amber and Danielle left the house. She was waiting for him to reveal where his cigarettes were. Then when he did, she started in with the the story about how she was not going to sequester. Then she started "packing" her "bags" and was telling other that she was going to leave. Then she started hiding her packed bags. While Eric and Jess were cooking something for dinner, she was talking about all the ants and talking about needing to pour bleach down the kitchen sink because that is where they were coming from. When Eric and Jess went outside, Jen followed them out and grabbed the bleach to pour down the sink, which she did. Then she went to grab the cigarettes and went to the storage door. It would take approximately a whole half hour of television time to show the whole incident, so there is no way this is going to be edited in a way that is not skewed to either Jen's or Dick's point of view.

Kalekona - it was heard that Dick threw her property around and then Jen destroyed his 3 packs in retaliation. But we never saw anything on feeds or TV so there is no way to confirm this. ETA: Even Dustin was nice to Jen after this incident. From the HGs reactions afterwards, I tend to believe that Dick instigated that particular event.

It will be edited fairly -- as they all have been. In Dick's favor. 1. We'll see Jen go off big time. We'll see some of Dick's "reaction" (note I did not say action). 2. We'll see Dick so happy his daughter won the veto with him explaining how proud he is of her and that the most important thing is for her to do well. 3. We'll see him counseling her when she is down, telling us in the DR how hard this is on her and he is so happy they are finally together and he can give her fatherly advice and support her. 4. We'll see him helping his daughter enjoy her birthday. If we're lucky, we might even get a complete segment of Dani's past birthdays from home movies (only the ones Dick was at, assuming he was at any of them). 5. We'll see a segment of Dick all excited that Dani got to go on the trip, explaining how he could have won the veto, but he sacrificed so she to have it, even though he really wanted it too. 6. We'll see a segment of how excited Dick was when she came back -- with his comments of how happy she looks, how proud he is of her and how he knows she needed this because the house has been hard on her and the only thing that is important is his little girl's happiness. Interspersed will be short scenes of the other HG's, mainly as they interact with the Donatos or as they are talking about them -- and of them bashing Jan. Oh, and of course, we'll get to see Eric's cute little DR segment for AP. The show will basically be like all the others this year and will be about as exciting.

I don't think it's about what the producers think is fair. It's about what they think will garner the biggest ratings. That's why unfair editing is such an issue every single year! Unfortunately, that is fair...in their eyes. It keeps the ratings up, which keeps their jobs. No matter how corrupt that thinking it is...it is fair to them...
