I actually think Jen has been a lot more negative than she might actually realize. Blatantly judging other HGs and being blatantly oblivious to other people's needs doesn't create warm and fuzzies, IMO.

Dick clearly holds grudges, strikes out and always expects that he can apologize and make it alright.. with HG, with Daniele, probably with his exes.

But most of BB HG over time, no matter what they say about just a game and nothing personal, they also hold grudges.

And in the game, "grudges" give them reason for their bashing and dissing and putting up and voting out.

The game brings that out in almost everyone.

I agree that Jen/Dick controversy started with the butter comp. All she said to Dick was "do not be the scraper". Not once did she ever imply that he would touch her inappropriately. IMO, that is what was really presumptious. Jen clearly didn't feel comfortable with it and I do not see anything wrong with that. I believe he made a bigger deal out of than it really was much like he does with most things. JMO.

I personally feel that butter comp was a little much for people who just met. Perhaps if Dick thought about Dani in that situation (with a man old enough to be her dad), he would have been a little more understanding. Just sayin'.

I thought she also said it was because of the smell of his cigarettes.

Sea, I agree that by putting Dick and Dani on the block only made things worse. It seems like every eviction has been based on personal reasons rather than strategy this season, not just Jen.

Breaking father/daughter up should have been a priority for a lot of the houseguests, IMO. I was disappointed when Jen let others influence her decision and she put Joe up instead of Nick. IMO, Dick would have been gone.

I was also disappointed when Jen so readily accepted Dick's apology/truce and then voted for him to stay. I am sure she regretted it the minute she found out she was being backdoored.

I guess in that aspect, she should have known better and sealed her own fate.

Well, something must have been implied there because that is exactly the reason she gave in the DR.

I can't remember where the smell of cigarettes came from, whether it was on the first episode or not. I wouldn't be surprised if she said that. Smoking seems to be one of Jen's biggest pet peeves. (The smell of smoke on people is kind of nasty...another reason I should quit..lol).

Klaw...I haven't smoked for years but all this talk about smoking has made me want to take it up again. I'm very tempted to run to the store for a pack just to console me when Jen leaves tonight. (Even though I know Jen wouldn't approve.)

Jeanne: Dick implied that in his DR - he said something like it's not like he would touch her boob (not verbatim) and called her a .

Jen did say in her DR that she didn't want some old man wiping butter off of her body. It was definitely a rude comment, but in all fairness, he is 21 years older than her. My daughter thinks I am old and I am 10 year younger than Dick...LOL.

uhmmmmm This is Big Brother don't they all hold grudges to an extent? Jen got put up and she went and destroyed property and broke rules.

This isn't just new this year with this group and especially not new because of Dick. They are in there trying to win a game and when someone shuts down a move for them they get mad. I might not scream and call names but I would get mad if someone put me up. I realize it is part of the game but doesn't mean I have to love it. Would I remember when I had the power, heck yeah. It is a game people, grudges are part of it!

i dont see anyone with grudges except Dani and Dick. Dani towards Dick and Dick against his 'target of the week' which can vary depending on his mood.

Wait til jen is gone. Dick Will turn on someone. Chances are it will be Eric.

Then we will see if he stands up for himself or takes it like a wimp like last time.

Jen should have held a bigger grudge against Dick and voted him out, IMO.

Thanks, Klaw. I'm trying to be strong. Maybe I'll just bake some banana bread instead.

If I were Dick I would have been mad when Jen picked only him to say not to touch her.

I watch the feeds 12-14 hours a day because I work on the computer and Jen is no angel. I think Dick went overboard with the rude talk but Jen was very good at provoking him.

Sunshyne - I'm afraid that none of this group will stand up to Dick.

I would have liked to see somebody like Jack the FBI guy in there this year. Now he was not a notable BB HG, however I don't think we would have seen the bullying tactics that we have seen.

Actually, Flyincows, Jen stood up to him the other night and is now being blamed for provoking him.

There was no way she could win. Over the weeks, she has tried just about everything to ge thim to stop his abuse.

She tried ignoring him. Tt didn't work. She tried laughing at what he did. It didn't work. She tried talking to him, even aligned with him for a while. It didn't work. She tried walking away from him. It didn't work. She tried being friends with his daughter. it didn't work.

And then when she gets exasperated and finally confronts him, she is blamed because she provoked him.

So, BB has engineered her leaving tonight. There is nothing she can do about it -- just as there is nothing, and never was, anything she could have done to stop Dick from abusing her.

What - I do agree with you!
I didn't make my point clear - after Jen leaves, Dick will find a new target for abuse/eviction and again NOBODY that is left will stand up to him. They will be picked off one-by-one - with the encouragement of BB / AG!

Fly, I fully agree.

What the HG's don't undertand is that because they never stopped Dick and now are getting rid of his punching bag, one of them will be next.

My guess is Jamecka next week. Then Amber. Then Eric. The Jess.

Dick is the quintessential example of an abuser. He won't stop when Jen leaves because Jen was never really the cause -- just the victim.

the terrible thing is the plan is throw the HOH to amber and WOW she will be run over roughshod by Dani and Dick.

already dani has been working on her. I saw Amber approach Jameka and said she'd probably put her up as a pawn.

SIGH, This next week may be pretty awful (tense etc)

I'm afraid that basically the rest of the house will turn into Donato puppets. (...or should that be AG puppets?)

What?? When was this? It was so wrong of Eric/Jess to make that deal with D/D. Ruined the entire game. If Amber is dumb enough to put Jameka up, she should go next.

My only hope is she intends to backdoor Eric.

I am so over Dick... I'm in the Jess/Zach camp now. Still not crazy for Eric and not a fan of Jameka, and we won't go into what I think of Amber...

Knowing facts has nothing to do with IQ. IQ is more the ability to find patterns, the ability to adapt to your environment and includes self-awareness. I havne't seen any of that in him.

ah I see what you mean. but that is only part of the Total IQ. A person can be very high yet actually fail some parts...like selfawareness.

Like a genius who cant figure out how to put something together.

To me Dick is very smart, but in his own way. Some of the stuff he talks about, like he knows, but he doesnt and no one dares to contradict him LOL

Jen did try in her own ways to get under people's skin. She even said she "always gets the laugh last" in the DR.

She was definitely no angel.
