I see people say over and over how Dick is hated by the Jury. Isn't this "Dr. Will" all over again? I don't think people have a sure-fire chance of winning the Jury vote against Dick. I think Dick played the best game, and I'm almost positive the Jury would see that. He told people his mean rants were purely strategic when he was trying to protect his daughter (with the exception of Jen of course.) Even after his rants, people still aligned with him (Eric). I personally think Dani would be the one to take, because all she did was ride daddy's coattails to the end.

Anyone else agree?

I think Eric aligned with D/D simply because he knew that America was on their side. As AP he had to go against what his own game was and play America's game.

I do not think Dick's rants were purely strategic. You see that by his self-rants when he's alone in the BY. That's his nature and shows his lack of self-control IMO.

As for Danielle riding his coattails...how many HOH's and POV's did she win? Yes, Daddy protected her and rode shotgun for her many times, but she was the real force to be reckoned with in the game. I don't think Dick would have had a game of his own if Danielle hadn't been in the house with him.

If Zach and Jameka are smart they'll boot both Dick and Danielle to the jury house. In the history of the game has a "deserving" or "good" player won out over the "evil" or "manipulative" player? Generally the manipulative player is always the one to be perceived as having the better game.

You lost me on the Dr. Will comparison... too very different games. I am a big Dick fan, however I really don't see your point to be honest. Dr. Will just acted like he didn't care period. Also, a lot of these ppl will play it personally and some of Dick's rants were very personal. Yes, he claimed and I do think some were strategic, but a lot were just "I am over you and don't like you" rants. I think having people on the jury like Amber and to some degree even Jess will take it personally that some of this happened and I do not see Jen voting for either of the D's.

Every year the jury surprises me. I never expected them to give to Will, I never expected them to give to Boogie, I never expected them to give it to Jun.
Dick has as good a chance as anyone he might be up against if he makes the final two.

How has Dani ridden his coattails? She is the POV queen and been HOH 3 times. Dani has been the biggest competitor in this game.

Shops, so, you're a fan of Big Dicks, eh?
Dani hasn't ridden anyone's coattails. How does wining 2 HOH's and 4 Vetos = riding coattails?
I doubt ED could win the big prize over anyone as I doubt this jury would reward his bad behavior. He could have won every veto and every other HOH and he'd still lose. The ONLY chance I see is if he makes it to F2 with Jameka and the jury votes on game play and not who they like or don't hate. The jury is full of people who don't like ED and who like Jameka...but could they be convinced to give it to him for playing the game while Jameka just sat there like a Jesus Fish? I don't know, but I doubt it.

There is no comparison with Dr. Will and Dick's game...the former hg's won't forget the bullying.

LMAO @ Dar... yeah, I caught that after I posted. I agree though and think the Dr. Will comparison is not there. Dr. Will was clearly playing a strategy out when it came down to the final jury vote and he was still sitting there whereas most HG's may just walk away from time w/ Dick with a bad memory.

If Jen, Amber and Jameka don't vote against Dick in F2 I will turn pale, gasp, stagger around clutching my chest and hope I live long enough to call 911.

I can't imagine any of those three giving a vote to someone who treated them so hatefully--strategy be damned.

My only reason for the Dr. Will comparison is this thought of "I'll take him to the final 2, because he'll never win" . . . and then he does. (Not a comparison of game . . or charm . . .lol)

Okay, Dani has won some things, but even she admitted that her HOH's were wasted because she didn't make any major moves with them, and didn't nominate how she wanted to. And I don't recall, did those POV's save her? I just remember the one Dick used to save her.

Anyway . . . I still think Dick would win, JMO.

No comparison to Will Kirby, the greatest houseguest to play this game.

Dick's bullying is his personality. Even Dani has said this is him. His friends outside the house on that one segment said what you see is what you get. Dick rants at people and he continues ranting when he's alone. How is that strategy?

When this season started, I liked Evel Dick. I thought it was refreshing to have a houseguest who had the guts to to call people out in front of the whole house. But with Dick, too often his emotions overruled his head. His rants became way too nasty and personal and he crossed the line.

He became almost a parody of himself. It was truly laughable when he got mad at Dustin for calling Dani a "skank" but he felt free to call Jen and Jameka the C word.

If Dick wins with this jury (something I don't see happening) it will be because they're still intimidated.

If they were going to have a HG like Dick Donato in the house, I just wish they had put other HG in there who were physically bigger than him and had a backbone. (Nick stood up to Dick and Dick backed off.) I would like to see a BB All Stars with Evel Dick and Will Mega in the same house.

No Dick is not the enemy. One respects one's enemy. I don't respect Dick.

Nor do I respect Allison and the way she highlighted his few moments, mainly in the DR, playing the role of loving estranged father week after week while minimizing his hours of vicious, vile, mysoginistic and disgusting behavior.

Had she shown the real Dick, the AP votes would have been different, Eric would have argued and convinced Jess and others to act differently and Dick would have been out in the first few weeks.

Dick did not play strategically. Allison did.

Marameko, it's been "pre-ordained" for weeks to have a final week with just Dick and Dani alone.

It will be very touching.

I think anyone would be stupid not to have Dick sitting next to them in the F2. Unfortunately no matter how great Dick's game was, this jury is an emotional jury. They won't see past the rants and how much they don't like him. I think anyone of the three there, if they had Dick by their side would win F2...you take anyone else and you are asking to lose

Well, look at past BB winners... most of them were really hated by the hgs and by the tv and live feeds viewers.

Why would this be any different with Dick... and this year BB is rooting for him!!!

that's interesting, Milosmom...when did he say that?

if it's true, and if I had to guess, I'd go with either Zach or Dick, leaning towards Dick...I don't think it'd be Jameka, and surely not Daniele..

now that I think of it, I'd lean a lot towards Dick - he's made himself the one that should be taken to the F2 because everyone is sure they'd win against him, just like Will did

I think you need to add Dustin into that mix too! After the pots & pans banging and all the hateful gay stuff he was throwing at him. I hope it is revealed about AP so the jury members know that it was Eric's doing that week and why Dick stayed and not some big mastermind of dick's.

Sky...I'm glad you mentioned that I left out Dustin. I knew I'd left someone out and when it finally came to me it was too late to edit.

How soon we forget, right? Dustin has been gone so long he's just a faint memory in my mind.

You're right...Dustin was treated hatefully too and I hope he votes against Dick if Dick is in F2.

How anyone can say it was Dick's "strategy to get further in the game acting like he did is beyond me. I think I could of found a little better "strategy" than treating the other HG the way he did. But on the other hand they let him get away with it so hopefully in the end if he is one of the Final 2 he will feel the wrath. I hope D/D do not win anything. That would be my dream! *waking up now* :-)

Oh yes let's not forget Dustin. Dustin who sold out his alliance by taking prizes for himself during the POV. Dustin who called Dick names and ran and hid. Dustin who peeked in when Jam and Amber were getting ragged on by Dick but nary a word of help for them.
