I'm still hoping for a D/D final two but would truly be happy with any of these 4 winning the $500,000. All my truly depised hgs are already in the juryhouse.

There is only one thing I don't want--and that's for Dani to win or be in the final two. Nothing sealed it more for me last night than hearing "It's so not fair" and all the other whining that she did about the HOH comp. To me, Jam deserves to win because, whether she did anything or not, she gave up 5 HOHs and still managed to be in the F4. Zach has risen to the challenge now and that's a nice surprise. And Dick deserves to win in spite of his mouth and spitting because he actually played the game to the best of his ability. So the only one I don't want anywhere near the F2 and/or winning is Dani.

Texas funny you say that but I strongly feel if Dick or Danielle even enter into this final 2 the game has been destroyed. Dick was slated to be evicted on the 16th by the house. Through a glitch called "Americas Player" BB used a vote and that person to salvage Dicks game which also helped to salvage his daughters game. This wasn't a simple DR suggestion to vote a certain way. This was a move on the shows part to have a ready made vote and the ability to send someone out into the house and work like a dog to switch the vote in favor of someone they personally would have never carried in this game. Even the person asked to do it has said he would have played it completely different on his own. I cannot give the Donatos any credit for saving themselves in this game. The deal was turned down. It was BB that stepped all over that vote and literally forced the idea of keeping the Donatos game in the house. It went beyond some DR suggestions. To me this says to any future player if you act like a foul fool and if there is a voting situation outside of the game you may get a free pass. You don't need to have any other strategy just ride out your foul behavior. Some have misunderstood my disgust for this years game. I have no problem with a player that I may personally not care for winning this game. If they have earned it on their own. However, I have a HUGE problem when I see the show literally handing that person a free pass. There was a difference in the manner in which Dick was salvaged vs Eric remaining. Each vote to save Eric was by free will. No one was sent out by the DR amongst the hg's to campaign to keep Eric. Dick staying in the game was a controled vote where BB literally forced someone to go to other players in the game and vocally try and manipulate that vote. This isn't the BB that it once was. Yes BB has always played mindgames in the DR but there was free will up until now. As for Jameka I can totally respect her game in that she worked a group that respected her to keep her around. I may not have bought her game but I admire the attempt because she clearly saw the open door. She may well be a walking hypocrite but again she remained in the game without a golden ticket that gave her an advantage. She took a gamble on giving up a lot of HOH's for that group. Dumb move? Not really. There is no rule that says you must win a ton of comps to win the bigger pot of money. In fact she ruffles few feathers having had no say so in who has been nominated. She made a very bold move with a veto situation. She played the game with no outside influence and heald on. I'm good with that. She wasn't some grand manipulator but she stuck it out. I can't respect the blatant outside influence that handed a father and daughter a much easier ride in this game. So as for this topic... "The Donatos as the final 2?" It is the single biggest middle finger to every past player of this game who had to work like crazy to manipulate there way to the finals.

Spear, I agree with you. The D's may have caught a break with the AP stuff (but if not them someone else would have) but that doesn't mean the game was handed to them. So much has happened that it would take to long to explain everything that they did to stay in the game.

The word "deserving" always seems to come up. I say any of the 4 left are deserving since they are the survivors. Do we have favorites? Of course we do but lets not take away from what they have managed to achieve. They all deserve to have a chance to win.

People may not like Dick or Dani, but they made it through to the F4. Got to give them credit for that... I cannot give the Donatos any credit for saving themselves in this game. And what about Jameka or even Zach?? They didn't really save themselves...

I would be very suprised if they did not make it. the only way I see that they do not make it is if they both do get nominated and do not win pov but the chances of one of them not winning is very slim

Other houseguests could have made it further if they had second chances too.

Skydiver I agree completely. If there had been no outside influence Dick was gone. Even the AP turned his deal down initially and the show stepped right on in and forced him to take the deal. His daughter would have joined him on the jury soon after. The others were not afforded the luxury of a "get out of jail" free card where another player was never allowed to vote you out or suggest you should be nominated. No one was afforded the luxury should they be nominated to have someone literally pushed by the DR to go out amongst the HG's and campaign to keep you. The only reason Daddy and Daughter won anything is because they were given a free ride to remain in the game. Given an even playing card Daddy was gone and Daughter needed to remain packed. She would have folded so fast in an emotional heap without her father there and no one playing the game "with" her more than willing to use her and toss her out the following week after she did some of their dirty work.

Darclyte..It doesn't look like both Donatos will make it as it looks like Zach is going to nominate both of them That depends on how they handle the last veto, if Jam can't compete (no replacement) that leaves one of them to win it, and that one will be the only vote.

Everybody competes in this final POV, if Zach or Jameka get it, Dani goes home. If Dick or Dani get it, Jameka goes home. Simple as that. Chances of a D/d in final three is 50%

Eddie, Jameka will compete in the veto competition. All 4 of them do so it is 50/50 for D/D to win. Zach has been coming on strong, so I sure wouldn't rule out his winning it. C1 I totally agree with you too!

To use the Donatos own words, "There's a line in the sand, Don't Trust the Donatos" nuff said.

the reason "daddy and daughter" are still in the game is that they won competitions when they needed to and strategized and played the game when they needed to. The only reason Jameka is still in the game is that she had to sit out 5 HOH comps. No one has given the Donatos a free ride anywhere. If either of them win the $500,000 it will be because they earned it. If Jameka wins, she will have won it by doing absolutely nothing to earn it.

Hmmmm, I don't think the past two years the 3rd place person actually went to the jury house like Dani just said. They just ended up on the set of the jury debate discussion here in LA. Am I right?

ITA Flamingo. Just don't see Jameka as having played or fought to stay in the house at all.
