Great post Carmil. Dick is just Dick, the house had two chances to get rid of him and chose a different target each time so he clearly isn't as terrifying as some people think. Oh and did i say his name Let me do it again. is name is Dick, And only to happy to speak his name.

keith richards is not in his 40s. Easily 60s and isnt that whom Dick was doubling for in that movie?? I was just thinking about poor amber asking Jameka if she had Charisma! LOL Now where i think we all can agree is Dick has charisma. in the house and on camera

Er...um....on second thought maybe I should change that nomination to "Rock of Love with Evil Dick." He might prefer the Bret Michaels stock.

As mentioned before, he has stayed partly because he doesn't remind the rest of them of their parents. So...he doesn't ring that bell of judgment. Additionally, everyone thinks he would be good to bring to the end because they believe they would win with jury votes against him (think Will).

lol - Dick would probably be 10x more amusing to watch on 'Age of Love' Unlike most of the previous 'older' hgs, Dick engages himself fully socially in the house. He speaks to the other hgs like peers. I agree that he has a youthful charisma and although many hgs haven't seemed very fond of him, that charisma has a certain power.

First of all I think Dick is not a young 44 year old. He is an immature 44 year old. Quite different things. I was thinking a lot yesterday after losing Jen. I was really angry with the other houseguests especially Jessica because she had been one of my favorites. After posting in the "What would you do" thread I realized that that is what I'd do now as a 46 year old woman who has learned a lot about life in the last 25 years. At 21 or 23 I might not have been self-confident and secure enough in my beliefs to have stepped up and done the right thing. I hope I would have but I'm not sure that I might not have just slunk along with the crowd. Why is Dick still there? Mostly it's because he had a built in solid rock ally from day one and that ally has done well. It's also due to the fact that he displays a lot of bullying behavior and intimidation and almost all the houseguests don't want to be his target like Jen was. I was so impressed with Jen in her interview on Housecalls. Now she is a mature 23 year old! She knew that Dick's attacks weren't personal and really had nothing to do with her and that it was Dick's problem. I've learned a lot from Jen. She is no saint but I do really admire the girl. Back to Dick. The final reason Dick is still there is a combination of luck and the fact that a strong, vocal, voting group has decided to back him and that Dustin upset a lot of viewers and of course the fact that this is the D&D show and BB wants them to make it to the end. I can not agree that Dick has charisma. Sorry but I don't see it. I can't find charisma in cruelness, nevermind all the burping, wet farting, and plegmy spitting.

Boberg....I totally agree with you.... EDick acts like a "4" yr. old...that's why people cannot BELIEVE his age....and ABSOLUTELY having Danielle has helped EDick stay in....COME ON....at the VERY LEAST Danielle is a guaranteed vote with EDick every time, including any friends Danielle has made, have voted their way..... EDick is not the great "player" of BB that he brags that he is....He thinks he is so exceptional...but he and Danielle have had an advantage since Day1....

Speaking as one in her 50's, I'm shocked to find out this guy is 44. I would have put him in his late 50's. The only people I know who look that bad in their forties are those who did serious hard drugs and drinking and they weren't fun to be around when they did. I look at dick and I see a very old man and an angry one at that. Angry people are not fun to be around and even less fun after they've been drinking. Just my opinion as one who has seen one-too-many dicks in her life.

LOL....I compare Dick to Howard Stern. I imagine the people who are Dick fans are also fans of dear Howard and I sure ain't a fan

I do not like Howard Stern. And Dick did everything he could to keep Dani in the game, she has not done the same for him. As far as being an exceptional player, he is in the fact that he says what he thinks, no matter if it is to his detriment or not! He doesn't pretend to be something he is not.

<77> if we like Dick, not only are we Jerry Springer Show fans, but now we're also Howard Stern fans? Why can't we all like who we like without being in a cult with everyone else who loves trash or fans of those who spew trash. This is like saying if you llke Jameka, you must be a big fan of the late Jerry Falwell or some other high rolling tv evangelist. <77>

Very true, Milo - he speaks his mind. But if his daughter had not been in the house as well, he would have been voted out for that by the 2nd week. Her winning so much is the only reason he's still there.

Or he could have played a very different game if Dani was not there. Who is to say he would have been voted out 2nd week?

Oh no, Carmil ~ I happen to think Stern fans are very different from Springer fans, lol!

It's only because I see dick as a very VERY angry person inside who gets even more worked-up while being trapped in a confined area. I don't think dick would have been as pleasant as he has been if his daughter weren't there, lol

I have several different actors and famous figures I think are hot. I am in NO compartment. I like Clay Aiken and Dick Donato, Billy Bob Thornton and Barry Manilow...so on and so on.

I absolutley am the same way Milosmom. Took the kids to see Clay but I also love my Gun's N Roses. And if you go in my Bedroom there is a poster of Clay, a framed picture of Elvis and a poster of Dan Wilson former catcher for the seattle mariners. I am NOT a howard stern fan and never have been. I like Jerry Springer as a person but do not watch his show. <77>

Dick doesn't act or look like a balding, middle-aged guy with a paunch who owns a car dealership in Muncie, Indiana. He thinks young and acts young. He's also a great dresser. 44 is the new 34 these days, for men as well as women. Not addressing any other personality traits, don't feel like going there.

See, Nyheat ~ I'm having a hard time understanding how dick is young in either his thinking or his actions. Yes, he doesn't look like the balding republican in Indiana but he is most definitely just as close-minded and opinionated to the point of resenting anyone who doesn't think like him or do what he wants. For me, as an older person, that is the definition of an old fart. He may be 44 but he acts like he's 64. Peace!

Age in years has never been an issue with me. I honestly have to stop and count back when asked how old I am. Seriously I forget all the time. Age mentally stopped for me many years ago. Shame my body didn't do the same thing. Funny age story. One night my hubby was at work and Peter Frampton was playing in the Brew Pub. I asked hubby if he saw him. His answer: No, I looked in there but there was just some old guy on the stage singing.

And here I was trying to be diplomatic, Kappy! I think his mySpace page did it for me--<93> There is a way to age gracefully in the punk rock world, a la Henry Rollins and Jello Biafra. I wish that Dick would embrace his aging self, learn how to respect women, and recognize that everyone is entitled to an opinion different from his own.

I had hoped that with age comes wisdom. Wise people evaluate a situation correctly. As a parent I can imagine the pain of being estranged from my child, but I cannot imagine going on any reality show as a way to bridge the gap. What kind of judgement is that? Even though Dick and Daniele will now have "this time together" to look back on, is it really meaningful? I would not call Dick mature by any measure, and I do not think he and Daniele will have much of a relationship after this is over.

If he thinks his behavior is acceptable, let's see how he'd act if he or Daniele were on the receiving end...
