It appears the tide has turned and Dustin will go home tonight -- maybe not; but that is how it looks. Could someone explain to me the logic of the LNC5 sending one of their own home tonight and keeping the one that wants to make them all miserable and who wants to evict most of them? Or is this all the producers doing?

This is the producers. They think Dick makes good TV ratings and seems they have done everything possible to keep Dick in the house. Apparently, they called Eric in the DR last night/early this morning to give him his marching orders, because he was opposed to the D/D/E/J alliance before he went in the DR and then after leaving the DR, went to Dani and solidified a deal. So, thanks to the voters and BB, Dick is well on his way to winning this game.

It seems AP was given the task of getting Dustin evicted and decided to actually go along with the task this week when the opportunity presented itself by Dick making a deal for final four.

The best part about this game is I could watch the live feeds until I go to bed and completely understand what's happening and wake up the next morning & have the script (litteraly?) flipped on me and be utterly confused!!! It's in my opinion that this year's HG are the most paranoid and their theories are so off. lol But again, that's what makes it so fun for me. If Eric can actually pull off having Dustin evicted, I'll be very impressed. So far, I think he's done a good job of mind control. And isn't that what this game is about?

There is no real logic, however Eric knows that America is voting Dustin out, he has re-established a tenuous trust with Jess after the latest America's votes and has to convince her that his vote for Dustin is in their best interest and it appears he has done so.

Kids - even though this is being totally manipulated by the DR, I think it is actually quite logical insofar as most players have always felt that if they were sitting in F2 with the person who was most obnoxious and disliked, they would win hands down. Of course, Boogie proved that wrong, so you never know. But I do think that could be one of the thought processes.

Exactly, Poppy. Anyone else might have beaten Boogie, except for 2 things, I think. 1) He had Will on the jury. 2) People came to despise Erika's gameplay. They lost all respect for her being played by Boogie.

If the producers are in any way manipulating the show to protect a houseguest without the knowledge of the houseguests or the audience, then I am through with this show forever. Not to mention, such manipulation is a violation of federal broadcasting rules.

Poppy I think this is being manipulated more by America's votes than the DR and while America may like Dick, the houseguests do not. From the little bit of feeds I was able to see yesterday I think even Danielle would have voted Dick out . It is a valid point on keeping Dick there to go against at final two. I believe that is why Eric, Jess & Jen will vote to keep him. The challenge Eric & Jess then face is Dustin, Amber & Jameka's vote at final two, I am not sure they "hate" Dick enough to vote for Eric or Jess over him if they betray them this way.

This is not a game show so federal broadcasting rules do not apply in the same sense they did with the 1950's game shows.. This is a reality show and BB has the legal right to push the show in any direction. I'm sorry some are angry America voted to have Eric vote Dustin out but those are the facts. America has spoken.

But it makes no sense to me to worry about what will happen 6 weeks from now when you are saving the one who will do all he can to get you out next week. I think this week will likely go down as the week with the most stupid mistakes made by a group in power in one week. 1. The women refusing to try to win PoV because the stuff they had to drink was too ichy. 2. Nominating Dustin, a significant force holding the LNC5 together. 3. Evicting Dustin in favor of the one person they most hate and who most hates them. Dumb! Dumb! Dumb! If Dustin finds out, he may be able to right this ship before it sinks this evening; but right now Eric and Jess are cutting their own throats. (I know--mixed metaphor!)

Do you all not think it will be a much more interesting final 4...Dani/Dick vs Eric/Jess fighting it out? Instead of the LNC being so nice to each other just deciding who they want to win??? I think the game is just starting!

I think it is a bit early to assume who the final 4 will be. MUCH too soon! If Dustin goes today, Eric is definitely out next week. Dick will see to it no matter what agreement Eric may think he has.

I know that Erik flipped because America decided he should get rid of Dustin but the plan as he has presented it makes perfect sense to me. Jameka can't win HOH, Amber in incapable, who knows what Zach is doing. That leaves the four and Jen. Erik sees Jen, a strong player, as aligned with he and Jess. I think it's a great plan.

easy to be an arm chair quarter back. but a secret jen/zach alliance could take them both far. neither of them have any real allegiances in the house. they have the easy pickings of amber and jameka. the smart thing would be a secret alliance with jen trying to overtly align with dick and dani. and zach overtly aligning with jess and eric. just watch each other's backs as long as they dont have to do something that outs them. no one would ever suspect.

After getting over my initial depression at what appears to be Eric and Jessica's decision to keep Dick, I can see an advantage to them in joining forces. If (and it is a huge if) they actually make it to final four, and final 3 is D/D and either E or J, Dani would send Dick to sequester and keep E or J so she would have his vote. Still, I don't like it and I want Dick out now. But, if they are going to keep him, E and J had better try to pull in Jameka, and maybe even Amber, to vote out Dustin tonight, or they lose 3 jury votes due to this betrayal.

I think it is a bit early to assume who the final 4 will be. MUCH too soon! Thank you, What! I have read "F2" over and over again all night. So much end game talk without waiting for things to play out at all. To be honest, I think the game had MORE suspense before we found out Dick was staying. All of the strong comp players will be in one group--Dustin, the other strong comp player, is going home. Who would Dani have re-aligned with without dear old dad? Who would've turned on whom in the LNC? Now the lines drawn are even clearer--as is who will be picked off one by one. LAME! SO LAME!

For me... once Dustin walks out the door... the game really begins. Will D/D/J/E make it to the final 4? Who cares! Let's watch how it all unfolds instead of having a repeat of season 6.

Since the producers are supposedly favoring Dick 100% , and supposedly are rigging the show to favor him , there's no apparent point in me watching anymore, so until I'm satisfied that the producers aren't interfering directly with the game, I won't.

guys, guys, Dustin stays. I think Dick is mentally ready to leave and I have a bad feeling that if he stays he will start again his verbal abuse against Jen and then something that was new (you must admit we never saw the likes of Dick before) will become stale and deja-vu. It's like a singer who wants to bow out in his/her prime. The time is now for Dick to leave, he has done the honorable thing to save his daughter and he's ready to leave. Let him go before America really gets tired of him.

The producers can run the show as they wish. Nobody is forced to watch. Dick is their star and ratings getter. I do hope he'll lay off Jen. If he stays tonight I want him to behave and stop trying to save his daughter by being abusive. This is a lame decision on Dick's part.

Ambi, I couldn't agree more. It is a reality shown with a prize at the end, not a regular game show like Jeopardy witrh very strict rules governing what can and can't be done to help a contestant anong. And as you said "Nobody is forced to watch". Turn it off and stop watching if you don't like it.

I think it's very possible Zach and Jen will vote to evict Dick. I think they are just playing to be on his good side to avoid attack. In that case, Jess' vote won't be needed.

"If the producers are in any way manipulating the show to protect a houseguest without the knowledge of the houseguests or the audience, then I am through with this show forever. Not to mention, such manipulation is a violation of federal broadcasting rules." They do it EVERY year in BB and in EVERY reality show there is. Producer manipulation is NOT new. Most reality shows, Top Chef, SYTYCD, have a disclaimer at the end of the show in the credits about outcomes being up to producer discretion.
