I think CBS should charge .99 cents a phone call for complaining phonecalls. They would rake up!

nynana - does a real person answer, or do you have to leave a voicemail?

if it's a real person, I was just wondering what they said

Even if it was our beloved Janelle who cheated, I would still be pissed. I don't like cheaters. I most especially detest it if the cheater is arrogant enough to brag about it.

It's Big Brother. Whatever they say is fair, is fair. That's the whole point. They are the judge, jury, and final word since they're not technically a "gameshow" under FCC rules.

yes, formerly from LA but in DC now..where the real criminals are..politicians.. Now, if CBS only has the guts to show Dicks admission of cheating on the show .... my guess, it will never happen

they replayed that one hoh last year to protect the "integrity" - they gave jen a penalty vote this year to protect the "integrity" - so imo, they need to do something about this, or just throw integrity out the window

A couple of weeks ago people were calling to complain about Jen and this week is Dick. Fair is fair...Dick said himself he doesn't like a cheat. I just happen to agree with him. The first letter was from his mother wasn't it? I'll bet you dollars to donuts that one was coded too. Just hope AG goes back to check it out for herself.

Ambi, that's because we all know, "Save the cheerleader, save the world!"

But really, who knows how we'd have reacted if she admitted to a coded letter? Plenty of people would've been complaining, is my guess.

I can only say this... if I was in the house I would have instructed my family to somehow give me a sign or knowledge of something to help me in the game. It could have been something like CIGs to bargain with the smokers or someone else's favorite candy. All that stuff could be a message and used in the game to further your interests. Is that cheating, because if it is, then they all do it.

Ambi.....I am sorry, but I am someone who BELIEVES in following rules....that's why even though Jen was my favorite...I never griped at her penalty, even though I was upset, because Dick hadn't gotten any for abusing her....

I CERTAINLY WOULD be just as "up in arms" whether "the cheerleader" or ANYONE else had devised a code-plan for their letters from home and bragged on it....

Cheaters are cheaters, and even if it is my favorite HG...I will still be objective enough to say that they deserve punishment for cheating.....Just as I punished my children for lying and/or cheating as they grew up, and I loved them with all my heart....but when they did WRONG, I taught them to "own it" and take their "licking". It didn't mean I didn't still love them......but that's me....

You make some good points Loppes. Especially re: Nick. No one has ever had contact with an evicted HG before.

Not true. Janelle received a phone call from Michael in Season 6, when she was America's Choice for a phone call.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who is gone next if D/D don't win pov. I'm sure that's why Dani is so upset. Now if Vince had inside info about the next PoV or told Dick about Eric (AP) then I could see BB being upset. This letter cannot do anything to change the outcome of the next PoV. D/D must know they have to dump Zack first because he wins stuff when needed. I wouldn't need a letter to figure that much out. Ya think?

That may be true Dfng....and it would be your secret....and you would have gotten away with it....

What I cannot FATHOM, is why Dick feels so confident that he had the NERVE to brag about his cheating on camera???? Why even mention it now? Does he have that little control over his mouth? Did he forget he is being taped? Or does he KNOW he is AG's sweetheart and will NEVER be punished? hmmmmm......

Okay, so far nobody has been able to tell me what rule or law that Dick has broken.

Just calling someone a cheater because you don't like what he did doesn't make him one.

I think I will call CBS and complain if they do decide to do something about it.

For those who think this whole letter thing is funny and brilliant...did you think the same when Jen came up with her plan? I did.

I'm not talking about her rebellion when it backfired...just when she was breaking cigs.

When she rebelled, a lot of people jumped down her throat for it and she took her punishment like a real trooper. Dick should do the same.

But I suspect he won't.

Sky, for Allie to read her incredible post to the complaint line. I think her letter was great.

Caycaye, you keep writing exactly what I'm thinking! I think I'll just follow you around for a while if that's okay with you.

talking to a person on the phone about nongame related stuff and Vague comments about 'you are doing good in there' does not compare to a fully coded letter.

Intent to cheat? I dont know. Wonder what the rules actually say.


In this case I think the BB people deliberately gave Dick the letter knowing it would stir up contraversy and get people talking.

Hey, it worked.

I have to say though, a prev post gave me a giggle.
That's what I like about Dick. He lays it out there and get's people talking.


And therein is why so many people like dick. He mouths off and people love the contraversy that arises from it. They enjoy the turmoil and chaos that insues when Dick goes off at someone or willingly admits cheating.

if It wasnt cheating, it would have been written like a regular letter, not in code.

As for how wonderful Dick is for admitting this infront of the cameras, we all know he loves camera time. I'm not surprised.

His #1 topic of Convo is still Jen. Dick is desperate to be the one that is remembered, Not jen.

He has stated he wants to be the one person remembered.

I found it kinda sad.((Good post Caye and Allie ITA))

What about Zach offering to split money with Jameka? Definitely a rule broken there, but Zach is STILL HOH. He apologized but it still happened.

Because he wasn't cheating so he felt he could.

I know you guys are not Dick fans and want to find any reason to have him thrown out.

When they prove that he did break a law set down by BB then I'll be back to join you.
