E/J feels comfortable. They need to stop sleeping and plan. Not good!

I think it is all for the cameras/jury and Dani is well aware of that but she's in a lose lose situation with him.

It's really not supposed to be America, Bandmom. I liked Mike a lot as well. You have to consider the people who apply for this show and the fact that the producers pulled most of them from files they prev. had. Also pulled from modeling/acting files. It's definitely not representative of the majority of America. Sadly, when people get on TV, they get fans no matter how they act. I've never understood it, but it happens.

actually Bandmom...Dani and ED are typical americans..SHe's young and kinda whiny spoiled (Like most gals her age, even Jessica whines a lot) ED's had a rough life and lives a lifstyle that people with rough lifes live.. just liek a HUGE portion of america... Seriously..I think part of the issue is a lot of people on this board live kinda sheltered lives.. they don't know how it is in the real world..... I don't mean that as an insult or a put down, just an observation

I think so too, Seamonkey - he might as well say "I love you" when he's alone in a room - I'm sure BB could splice it with a shot of Dani

I'd have to disagree that a HUGE portion of Americans are like Dick.

Hopefully this wasn't already posted by somebody else during the time it took to type this up. LOL! I was just going over last year's schedule and if they stick to the same schedule for this season then: On Tuesday, 9/11, the show will end with the start of the first part of the three-part HOH competition which will be endurance. On Thursday, 9/13, we'll see the end of the first part of the HOH competition and we'll watch the second AND third parts of the HOH competition live AND a live eviction. No show on Sunday, 9/16. Finale on Tuesday, 9/18.

Bandmom I didn't see your post, but I can tell you why I dislike Dick less than the others (since there is no one I truly could love and root for this year). I have seen him over and over strategize and try to work to secure both his and Dani's place in the game. I have seen a funny, decenter side to him in addition to the vile stuff. I don't care for the strategy he used with Jen and Kail, but it was a strategy and it actually did work. Again don't love it but to me it has beat other strategies in there. Dani at least has played her heart out in comps. I don't personally care for her a lot, but she's played the game. To me the only other really player in there is Eric and he's been hired to play. So I can't quite put him on the same level, plus I don't like him much personally. As for the rest, Jess has slept most of the time, and has made remarks as nasty as Dick, just did it in her helium voice and with a giggle so it didn't come across as bad. And it was to folks backs, not faces. Jameka basically has let God play for her and is sitting back waiting for his will to be done. Sorry, but I believe in free will and playing your own game in the BB house. So that is why I am rooting for them. I do believe it has been the meanest group of HG in BB history and I find it very sad that Alison Grodner doesn't seem to get that we want some folks to LIKE, and that being nice doesn't mean being boring, as she and Arnie before her seemed to think. JMHO FWIW.

Thanks, Hamsterlady. So Thursday's HOH will last until Tuesday, even though his/her person has already been evicted. I knew there were a few days where the last 2 were in the house alone, but didn't realize there was no show on Sun, 9/16.

The real world? Neosporen, why would Dick's kind of life be more "real world" than mine?

oh that convo I missed (where I'd bet Dani said something snarky to him like, "I don't want to discuss that") made me think of one more thing I like about Dick. For almost 3 months Dani has been just horrid to him except when she needs him. He has continually taken it and given her nothing but love and caring back. He has asked her to go to therapy w/him after the show. He has managed not to rip her head off ever, which she deserved on many occassions IMHO. I gotta give him some props and respect for that.

AM can pat themselves on the back for "helping" Eric if they want but that just does not make it so. To say AM made it easier on some tasks OK but Eric was the only one who could perform/complete the task and earn the $$$. In my opinion from reading the boards many of the AP votes were NOT placed to make it easy for Eric, just the opposite. They either wanted to help the Dreaded D's or make life kinda hard for Eric which didn't always work.

Cricket - The winner of the second HOH competition on Thursday, their reign will last until Tuesday when they begin the three-parter final HOH competition. This coming Sunday's show will show the second HOH competition (because that won't be shown on this Thursday's show) and then they'll show the POV competition and ceremony.

I think the money was a factor in Eric's choices but not the main one. I think it was the fear of who America would make him target next. Until he got aboard the D/D train America was doing whatever they could to mess up his game. I think he fought an uphill battle from the start. But as many have pointed out he is America's Player not America's Choice.

Lurk, I agree! (not very surprising LOL) Whether it was made easy or not, Eric has received a lot of money in return for doing America's bidding. There is always a trade off. It's made his game more challenging, but he's also reaping the rewards.

DIck looks a little freaky lying in bed with his eyes open and not even twithing. How funny was BB telling Dani to put on her microphone - I laughed when she said I am not even talking because obviously there is no one else around so what is the purpose

Whether AP helped or hindered Eric, he was given the opportunity to make a lot of money, on top of the possibility of winning $50,000 for second place or $500,000 for winning. The other players did not have that opportunity. I don't think anyone should feel one bit sorry for Eric, since he's already made a great deal of money for 3 months "work".

He has asked her to go to therapy I wouldn't be surprised if that was all for the cameras - like all the "I love you" stuff that dani turns her nose up at - she knows him better than we do, and she doesn't seem impressed

Was it answered where the rumor of Dustin getting outside information came from? The first I read it was scanning through this thread.

"I wouldn't be surprised if that was all for the cameras - like all the "I love you" stuff that dani turns her nose up at" I am not at all a Dick fan but I don't believe that. Dick doesn't take crap from anyone but man does he take it from Dani. After almost 3 months, if he didn't love her he would rip her head off as he has everyone else. You can't "act" 24/7.
