I would LOVE to see Dani in a house post ED. She would actually have to interact with the other guests or be oust the following week. I honestly can not believe people like to see abuse. I saw housecalls today with Howie and he said he and Dick had similar stragedies. Howie was bad ED is worse. I must be totally out of touch with reality to think abuse is acceptable anymore.
I am not one to watch dog fights, death match fighting, or other violent acts. If this puts me out of touch . I am glad to live in La-La land. It hurts my heart to see Dick when he is rampaging.

The only time I really disliked Dick is when he went after Jen. A long time ago I was reading the late night feeds and it said Dick and Jen passed some kind of silent signal with a hand motion of some kind. After reading that I started to imagine the two of them as probably members of the Screen Actors Guild. Just my imagination I guess. But,I think there is some agreement between them. I firmly believe Jessica is the most dangerous player and pray that someone in the house realizes this.

Dustin's move is a stupid move. But it's not on the same gargantuan level as Marcellus' move, just beyond stupid, but this gargantuan idiocrity

I think the DR swaying people is payback from last week. Eric would have been gone had the DR not planted seeds in Jessica's head that he was trustworty, and also keeping Dick in the DR so that Jessica/Eric could talk about Dani backdooring Eric w/o being caught.

The reason I thought BB was such good reality TV was because of the Feeds. CBS had to take into consideration that viewers would know if the "reality" was in the Show or not. Every year BB has manipulated the HG's more and more and these past two weeks they have gone over the top. To hear HG's complaining that the DR is pushing them against their game is wrong.

It is insulting to watch the Show knowing how bad the editing is. Does not come close to the Feeds.

What's odd is how their manipulation has gotten to this board too. Eric's fans were happy, now Dick's. Outcrys from both sides.

Butt out BB.

I think we should all STOP VOTING. Let CBS know this ain't right.

I am not even sure Dick is that popular with the viewers. Yes he has the highest percentage on the CBS poll. But that type of poll can be manipulated by voting bots. I have never trusted that poll. And except for on some message boards I don't know anyone personally that even likes Dick. Everyone I know that watches the show or has the feeds wants Dick gone. So how accurate is that poll? I understand BB thinking they need Dick in the house for their father/daughter drama. But I am sick of it. Why can't the DR let the game play out and see where it goes?

Dick is the most talked about and debated houseguest BB has ever seen, even outpacing Dr. Will. Dick doesn't have the game play that Will had, but he is one big old controversial guy.

All internet boards are flaming with Dick threads, good and bad.

I think Dick might be the one houseguest in the past 8 years that might have a real career in the public eye when he gets out. He's a love him or hate him kind of guy. He told us that when he entered the house.

Even with all this information, some folks subscribe to the notion that the popularity polls are skewed by voting bots. Just because a player is not your personal favorite doesn't mean that the person is not popular with the masses.

I think that Dick may not have the most fans but the fans he does have are very passionate about the game and want him to succeed and they are voting accordingly.

CBS is interested in entertaining people and the feedback they are getting through their polls and voting is that the people who really care seem to care about Dick.

I abhor the above things too. I don't compare Dick's dissin' with dog fights and death match fighting. IMO, that's like comparing apples and oranges. There is no comparison. You have to be mentally and emotionally tough to play BB. The other houseguests and the outside world are very tough critics.

I watch the feeds, the show and sho too and i LOVE Dick and want him to stay. So do my daughters and husband.

having said that (lol) the fact that I LOVE Dick doesn't not make me think everyone loves Dick. I am sure there are many out there who do not just as there are many who do.

Yep, the only people I see who complain about ED is from these boards mainly to be honest. Most of my co-workers and friends love to watch ED on BB8 and all are of the opinion that if ED leaves the LNC truely is nothing more than the Nerd Herd w/ a crying Amber. I mean, how freaking boring is it going to be to watch Amber cry if someone blinks at her, Jam pray, Jen stare at herself in a mirror, Dustin prance around in a robe, Eric give the pyscho stare, Dani sleep and cry "it's not fair", Jess sleep and talk in the baby voice and Zach... ummm... be a rock. Sorry guys, but Ed at least does SOMETHING.

As for the DR influencing votes, last week was so freaking shameful that something has to be done to recover. This game has ALWAYS been manipulated by the producers. Every year on this VERY board I have read the same comments over and over in regards to those complaints, for two years it was how the DR and producers were about Janie etc now it is this one. BB is what it is, we complain about every little thing we can from the DR's, to the guests, to the now America's Player thing. Guess we can like it, watch it, or turn it off.

Wow, I have yet to comment on this board yet this BB Season! Where to begin? At first I liked Dick, but now I can't stand him. He has certainly crossed the line on MANY levels with MANY housemates! I hope that the DR isn't persuading people to keep him. But we know how the producers are YEAR after YEAR!!!

Dani has been saying since the "half-way party" that the "two most hated houseguests are on the block" Do you think this is something that was told to them? I have no idea where the "house" would come up with that.

Any people who like ED, ever been verbally abused by anyone in their life ? Bullied ?

Because whether it be in Jr. High or any other school situation or even in a working enviroment, once you have had to deal with a bully, you look at all bullies differently.

I understand Dick wanting to get their heads and mess with them. Dr. Will did that as well. Will just did the mind manipulation thing. Kill them with kindness. Dick wants to break people by bullying and abuse. BIG DIFFERENCE !!!!!!!

I would rather see the mind games Dr. Will presented over Dick's abuse. If Dick used different tactics , I would be a fan.

It's none of anyone's business whether I was abused, verbally or otherwise. I can, however, make up my own mind and form my own opinions without being bullied anywhere else.

I hope the DR is trying to save Dick. They did enuf last week trying to save Eric. Fair is fair, yes?

this is a game not real life. i was just as uncomfortable with howie's tirade against april as anything dick has done. i dont like it but i recognize it is a game with controls and an open door for anyone who doesnt want to play anymore.

I don't believe the DR wants Dick to stay. They may push Eric to comply with his role as AP because they don't want to be bombarded with America's complaints.

Simple as that, they don't give a hoot if Dick goes or stays. Actually, they may already be happy with what Dick gave them and that's enough for them.

Usually is in the beginning that they worry about the ratings but by now they've got what they wanted and don't care who goes or who stays. They just care to keep America happy and this is why they may be pushing Eric to try harder to satisfy America's wishes.

of course BB wants Dick to stay. look at how much time they give him on the show, the camera time on the feeds, they love this guy. he's one of the few things actually not snooze-inducing on the show this year. he's money.

It IS a game. We see it every season....there's always at least one whom everyone dispises, and runs to the ground. But the funny thing is....at the wrap party all the HG's seem to be over it....say they have nothing against that person...it was all part of a game....but WE, America act like we should recieve an apology or something from these people who were JUST PLAYING A GAME! I'm sure if there is any influence from the producers....it is working on both sides....we've seen strange things coming from both sides so I don't see where people think it is all something new this week. IT'S A GAME....WHEN IT IS OVER WE WILL STILL HAVE OUR LIVES!!!
