They do not thank him effusively. It is half hearted. They all have a sense of entitelement. COoking for so many is not easy. Sea- you are so right about Jess- did you see how quickly she freaked that Zach said she turned on him? She hopes to slide through this with clean hands, lol.

I saw Dick is a Cancer on his MySpace page--I think Cancer men can be difficult. ETA I wish I knew all of their signs..

Jameka combs her hair like that and then covers it with a scarf to keep it straight.

Wasn't Jameka smoothing her hair in preparation for putting on her sleeping cap? I assme that helps keep the straight smooth style she created with the big rollers the other day.

Hahaha glad someone else saw that Meggie (Re: Jess flipped) As for Dick and his cooking..He's kind of just creating things as he goes therefore he'd like some feedback as to what everyone thinks and I don't blame him for that.

Who has a sense of entitlement? They would cook for themselves if he didn't. Every night I've watched them eat, they have thanked him, said how good it was, etc. I don't know what y'all want to see? The entire dinner conversation coming up with adjectives for how good it is?

Lurk, I was born in Brooklyn, then moved to Staten Island. Dick works very hard on the dinner and I think he should be thanked for all his work

angelic, yes, on the food/dick commentary. i think that's what it is. they don't have the luxury of looking up a recipe online, going shopping for what they need, etc. he is just working with what they have there and wants to know if the stuff is edible!

Sea- yep thats why I thought of you at Buttercup, lol. I think you do get a minimum of 1K if you win the faceoff. SO Amber could have seen her cousin at that point and then gone out with 1k. Methinks she will be particularly mad about Eric's money. Especially if he probably earned 10K just nomming her and (probably) voting against her!

I agree, Angel. Sometimes when I'm cooking and just winging it or have to use a diff. ingredient than usual, I wish my family would say something as to whether it tastes OK or not. Unfortunately, they were much better in the early years, esp. DH. Very rarely do I get spontaneous "Ohhhhhhhh ..this is good," and it's rather frustrating and to be truthful a bit disheartening. FWIW

If it's any consolation Rudy last couple trips to NY I found the pizza had really gone downhill in a MAJOR way. It was really depressing. Actually a baked potato sounds pretty good...but know what you mean. Besides I live in Boston now. I'd offer you some baked beans but no one here actually eats baked beans, and no one can afford lobster this year lol. What did Dick just say? Nevermind don't want to know who he was talking about lol

Dick seems pretty content with the level of thanks he gets--he loves to cook and would do it no matter what.

He IS thanked. Every night. They tell him they like it. That it's good. Thanks for making dinner. Etc. ::shakes head::

We usually compliment the cook throughout the whole meal...

I just don't think thanks and praise are to be demanded.. on the other hand I believe in freely giving them but don't expect others to feel the same way. Dick is lucky he isn't being badmouthed FOR cooking like Jun was. They were happy to chow down but resentful that she hung out in the kitchen so much (in that house the kitchen location could see/hear almost everywhere..)

It's NOT about being thanked..geez! He's just trying to make sure the food is good because he's pretty much just winging it.

Jen...do you mind if I ask? Do you cook often for a group of people? If so, do you await their thanks? Just curious.

Well maybe they would eat but no one would cook tasty meals for everyone as he has been. They do not step up.

Hober still there or did you flee too? And I think Dick does a LOT around that house and it really seems like no one notices or is grateful. I think he doesn't mind doing it, but minds that no one sees how much he is doing. I think that's a lil different than just fishing for thanks.

OH whew... I'm glad I'm not the only evil person who laughed when Dick said that about "her face."
