I understand what you are saying about making more of his life, Tobor. He's mentioned he's got a few regrets, his children being one of them. I'm sure he'd rather own the bar, rather than manage it or work for himself in some way. He is def. someone who could be described as one's own worst enemy. I see a self-destructive quality in him..rather then let someone else do him in; he'll do himself in.

For the record the negativity that began on the first day was not from Dick it was JOE.

i know someone who often falls prey to drug use. He is so positive when I can't see much positive in his life..but he manages..then, he falls off the wagon and is in the ditch again

I don't see any of them to be "hateful"..they are playing for a lot of money. They have all come into this with a plan. Dick's plan was to win being an a**, (his own words). Jameka came into this game playing the good woman with the Bible, Dani came in as the youngster with the ability to win tasks, Eric came in as AP, etc. I refuse to believe that based on the way they have played the game that they should be labeled as "hateful". They are playing their roles and have managed to dodge many bullets to be in the finals. Some of this game is luck, but much of it is gaming. D/D are very good gamers, and I give them credit for being up three times and pulling it off to the end. Who in this house has been positive??? We could pick apart every single one of them for negativity.

I agree Earthmother! Good grief - none of the HGs has been sunny and positive, so what? I want to see competitors and gamers. We always see virtually every personality trait displayed every season depending on the circumstances in the game - that's what makes it interesting. Dani has had the best game this year and would be a deserving final 2 candidate for the win as would Zach (if he wins the final HOH) or Dick.

Oh yes they were Earthmother!! But they were funny. Personally I would hate to watch a show where they all get along and raise chickens. Oh yes, that was BB1, wasn't it?

Earthmother, didn't Jen claim to want to be positive and only have positive energy around her?

I agree with in some ways with both Earth/Milo, BUT as Milo said Amy/Marci were funny to watch. The current HGs are brutal in a very brutal way and not fun to watch. Yes, BB1 was pretty boring, but you had a variety of lifestyles, not all of them pretty, young and looking for that "break" into Hollywood that 90-95% already have in this cast. iMO people. Since the beginning, I've never felt a need to post on the board, but this year really had me reeling. I guess that's what good BB TV is all about and I'll forever be hooked on BB.

Personally I'd rather watch some good ole' fashioned mud slinging than bikini clad young women sitting in a hot tub giving lessons on how to give a BJ.

Hmmm, Earth, brings back a memory... In BB3 with Lori telling the whole world on the internet (yikes) how she explains how she performs the perfect BJ and Roddy comes out to the yard to offer food? LOL

Earthmother I agree with you here.
I don't see Dick as negative. Headstrong, persistant, assertive, self assured maybe, but not negative. Dani, IMO, acts like a lot of 21 yros do.
I think Dick played the game exactly like he intended too.

I vote for the bikini clad women in the hot tub giving BJ lessons but that's neither here nor there... LOL

Speaking of negativity...it can be contagious. I think Dick has a bullying personality. You can call it headstrong or assertive but I like bullying. Intimidating. And I think it's set up an interesting dynamic in the house. When Dick is putting down someone, the others in the house will laugh and join in because it keeps the focus off of them. I've seen this same dynamic on the playground as a child. Often there will be two friends and if a bully is picking on one of them, even the guy's friend will laugh. It's cowardly and shameful but it's the same dynamic that's been at play in the BB house.

I loved it on last nights show when she lost the HOH to Zach she just DROPPED the thing she was writing on. Reminded me of one of my kids when they were smaller...only thing Dani didn't do was lay on the ground and kick her feet screaming "but I wanted to win". lol

AND BTW.....I am so tired of Dick's bashing...he's obsessed and just won't stop. It's very sickening the way he talks about the HG, present and past.

I think Dick may just surprise everyone by being very clear in talking about how their strategies and decisions thru the game got them to the end. When he was telling Jameka things, you could tell it was all falling into place for her. And he knew everything that had happened all along the way.

Oh I don't doubt Dick will try to charm them with talk of strategy... I'm not saying he'll start cussing while answering to them... heck, that would be dumb.

I'm talking about when we see him after the questioning pacing and ranting in the backyard pissed off at all of them... My god, he has done that for less, I can only imagine how ballistic he'll go...

We've seen in past seasons how ruffled the two finalists were and not even close to what Dick is, so I can just imagine... But let's wait and see.

I actually think he'll be laughing about it. Dick gets this game. Remember how everyone thought he'd be so pissed if Eric mimiced him? He thought it was hysterical and had a blast with it. I think that's just how he'll be after questioning, too.

Beekind ... did you also think that what Dick relayed to Jameka was all pretty accurate as to what happened? I got that impression.

The only thing D/D are off about is Eric's involvement with the Mrs. R alliance.

And also that he had some sort of deal with Jen -- although it did seem early on that Eric and Jen might have had some kind of loose agreement ...

Not the same, Eric mimiking him was made in jest, BOTH of them laughing. the Jurors will not be laughing, they want him made accountable for a lot of things that happened... and he won't like that. I can tell you that.

Yes, Delilah, I do. He really told the truth about all the things that had happened since day one and you could see the lightbulb above Jameka's head get brighter. I believe she really came to see how it had all been played and how she gave her game away early on.

Spunky...the jurors will be asking the hard questions, to be sure, but at that point they will realize they were outplayed and there's nothing they can do about it...except give him their vote.

They weren't outplayed... it was America's Player twist that saved Dick's arse. Wait till he hears about that!! It wasn't "his game" as he's boasting now, it was the dumb AP that saved him.

Spunky...outside of the AP stuff, Dick has a very clear picture of exactly what has happened in the house.

thanks to the DR...

Anyway, we could go on and on about this. I enjoyed that... I'm just waiting someone will open a thread with the Jury Questions after Zach leaves.
