I don't personally see it the way the majority here see it so it is confusing to me. I enjoy the show, it makes me laugh and roll my eyes. I have always thought the letters were a mistake and I assume that 80% that go through the door are coded in some sense. I don't see the slant at all but instead,someone, though I might not have chosen to play that way, has played in a way that helped them advance.

I guess my point is that I see this board as a pretty accurate slice of opinion out there and if when I see so many people so passionatly upset about something to email the show and to express the stuff written on this board at times, my first thoughts are WOW no one is going to be watching this show but me next year! That freaks me out. I guess my mistake is thinking that someone that is so bothered by incidents as is highlighted in this thread and many others would just stop watching. I am telling you that freaks me out, I love this show!

I have no idea what I will do next summer. If there is another BB, I sure hope there isn't any outside influence at all, especially AP, and the rules will be strictly enforced. IMO, it would have been a completely different season and I believe outcome if it had been that way this year.

ETA: The only reason I have watched this long is b/c I kept hoping someone would finally put an end to the Donato twist. I believe they both would have been gone without AP, but that's JMO.

Actually I don't think that many people are upset. If you count the posts most are multiples from the same group of posters. That goes for Jokers and the rest as well as here. IMO there are just as many who are upset as are not. The Donatos have a very large fan base.

EM, the same is true for the Donato fans across the boards. We cannot discount the home viewers' opinions just based on what we see on boards, IMO. I feel people assume b/c he is popular on the boards that he is popular every where.

The people who watch the show only knows what BB wants them to know and that's it. Even with Dick's edits, I have yet to talk to anyone in real life that actually like the Donatos. I personally think more people would be upset with this season if they knew what really goes on in that house. JMO.

The Yankees will make the playoffs.

Post-season isn't post-season without the Yankees.

Tv, email the folks at EW online regarding the whole letter thing. They are always looking for tips on shows. :-)

Klaw, do you not think the TV watchers voted for the various AP tasks? I don't recall Dick or Daniele ever being targeted to be nominated or evicted.

Dick said his shoulder is hurting and would tell the DR certain hard competitions wouldn't be fair to him and Daniele encouraged to go and tell them..

Will we see preferential treatment again???
This is ridiculous!! How far could they go!!

As we sit here stewing about who is left and shouldn't be, and who cheated, and how the show is rigged, and how certain HG's are so hated....I find it funny that Zach, Jameka, and Dick are having a very civil conversation and apologizing to each other for things said and done. That definitely shows we the viewers hold much more hatred and disgust than the actual HG. It's a game!

So he does go to the DR and he brags about saying that "They heard him". They sure act as if they can dictate to BB what competitions are better suited for them.

Why don't they just go to the DR and ask them to hand them the money and forget this whole HOH hanging on a key thing... what a waste of their time and of mine for sure!!

Costa: For Dick and Dani to be the target for nomination, someone else would have to be HOH and for them to be the target for eviction, they would have to be on the block, right? Dick/Dani won HOH 5 out of 10 competitions. They were only on the block twice while Eric was there, both times one or the other won POV.

Week 1 - Kail was HOH - Carol was AC
Week 2 - Jen was HOH - Joe was AC
Week 3 - Dick was HOH - Kail was AC
Week 4 - Dustin was HOH - Kail was AC
Week 5 - Dani was HOH - Eric was on the block
Week 6 - Jessica was HOH - Dustin was AC
Week 7 - Dani was HOH - Jen was AC
Week 8 - Jessica was HOH - Amber was AC
Week 9 - Zach/Dick was HOH - Jameka/Dani was AC

Eric was working with Dick/LNC up until week 5. None of them were the target up to that point. I personally believe Dustin was AC week 6 because he was the one to put Nick on the block. (Eric and Jess also made a deal to go to F4 with Dick and Dani that week.) Jen, Amber, and Jameka were the next targets. After Jessica got evicted, Daniele was AC.

I still believe if the tv watchers knew what was really going on in the house, they would have a different opinion of this season. JMO.

Napa, when the houseguests apologize to Jen for the things they said and did to her, I will feel much better. That is by far my biggest issue with this season.

I got it! Alison doesn't have the 1/2 mill to give, so she created this big scheme with the Donatos. If a Donato wins any money, Alison will quietly tell them they were disqualified do the coded letter that didn't help their game at all anyway.
I know it's a far fetched idea but it could happen.

Lawyers for Endemol USA Inc. sent Blue Yonder Aerial Advertising a cease and Desist letter, citing "we also need to protect the integrity of the competition, which does not allow any outside influence on the houseguests who are sequestered from the public broadcast and therefore unaware of some of the secret twists in the show."

CBS went on to say:

In a statement to TMZ, CBS says: "It's always great to have fans that are this engaged and passionate about 'Big Brother.' However, we also need to protect the integrity of the competition, which does not allow any outside influence on the houseguests who are sequestered from the public broadcast and therefore unaware of some of the secret twists in the show."

Why am I bringing this up you ask? Isn't Vincent essentially a fan?

The fact that Vincents letter had no bearing on the game, and the letter came to late should be of no interest to Endemol, CBS or AG. Blue Yonder Aerial Advertising was not the company who flew the first banner plane. CBS sent them the Cease and Desist letter in case they were hired to do so. (Intent)

In essence, Vincent and Dick are guilty of what Endemol accused Blue Yonder Aerial Advertising of doing. Dick especially should be held legally responsible because he signed a contract with Endemol.

I thought Blue Yonder was the plane who was HIRED to fly the "Eric is a liar" banner.

Banners have been flown in the past. The eventuality of a banner flying over the house can be foreseen. If BB really didn't want ANY CHANCE of a banner being seen, they would have put a roof over the back yard.

Blue Yonder has a right to fly any banner they want. It is up to BB to protect the HGs from outside information.

Blue Yonder had been hired to fly a banner stating Eric was America's Player. In the article at TMZ, they stated specifically that they had not flown the banner that went over during the HOH saying Eric and Amber were liars.
