Wonder if Dick bragging about the code will make the show?

The rule this year is that the rules apply to all EXCEPT the Donato's.

Seattle, oh yes I totally agree, and that's all I was wondering...I don't "hate" Dick, I'm just curious as to how BB will handle it if they do at all. And I know the "J" reference was probably to Jessica or Jen, but if "J" was the benchmark, Jameka's name begins with J too, and she's still in the house. So technically, its not a moot point from that perspective... As a clarification again to anyone reading this folder. I did not set it up as some "conspiracy theory" , but rather listed factual events where some people in the house got DQs while others didn't for clear breaches as per my understanding of BB's rules......

but by dick admitting it, and BB doing nothing, it gives the implication that they are knowingly running a tainted game - and AG has already said she believes in a game with integrity

Amber and Dani said that they were barely allowed to talk to each other on the trip to NY, and there were handlers around them all the time. BB's whole premise is no outside information, remember it took them several days to tell season two about 9-11. I personally think a coded letter is a big deal.

Loppes...of COURSE it is "factual events".... Those of us with live feeds and watching HEARD Dick bragging about devising his "illegal and secret" code in order to CHEAT! He was very proud of himself.... The debate is whether cheating or the INTENT to cheat is rule breaking....of COURSE it is....no doubt about it.....Now, if you are a Dick fan....you won't like to hear this....but he broke a BIG rule...he cheated....it's the facts Jack.... (It is no different than on Project Runway when one of the designers was kicked off for having dress-design books in his room...He claimed he never opened them, but....whatever....he COULD have....and he COULD have cheated...no one knew for sure....and it was against the rules...It was considered CHEATING and he was sent home! But that was THAT show and network...THIS is Allison Grodner's Big Brother....We'll see!)

My bet is that more letters are coded than are not coded that come into the BB house. I think that is why the letters are always old just in case they have a secret message. Dick is just the first person to admit it.

Is it in the rules that you can't use a code in your letters and how would BB prove it. I said it in another thread. What if Zach's father saying in his letter that he is playing honorable really meant for Zach to take the self proclaimed "honorable" person in the house which is Jameka.... BB could never prove it was code. I am sure there has been suttle hints in all the letters. Dick was just funny enough to admit it. That's what I like about Dick. He lays it out there and get's people talking.

if a rule wasn't broken, Vincent might as well have written: Dear Dad: Eric & Jess are planning to break their deal, don't vote out Nick, you'll regret it, etc. etc. and P.S. - be sure not to eat turkey burgers if you're on slop - AG doesn't want to ruin the integrity of the show. Love Vincent

Dick also told Daniele that the letter contained code that was meant for further down the road! So it is still in play according to Dick!

It's not cheating unless there is a rule that says a family member can not come up with a code and tell said code to a houseguest.

Of course BB wouldn't be able to "prove" secret codes....but Dick ADMITTED to CHEATING....he needs to be kicked out! Just as in if you THINK someone committed a MURDER and you have no evidence, they get away with it....(and that has happened MANY times) but if they CONFESS...they still go to prison!

If AG wanted no outside influence then the HG's should not have any letters, phone calls, trips outside the house or presents in the HOH basket. Oh, and no AP.

If it was Jessica with the letter and she was still in the house, nobody would be upset.

I'm a bit behind here, but when and to whom did Dick brag about this?

Maybe if he studies the letter harder he'll see that Vincent wrote, Eric is playing for America! I sure would have gotten that in there if I went to the trouble of using a code.

But it is only cheating if it is clearly stated as a rule. Just because it is maybe an integrity issue doesn't mean it is cheating. And if you haven't guessed, I love it that Dick admitted to what everyone should have already known is going on. It gets everyone talking about it.

The only thing i can think of that would come into play later is a hint on who they should vote for if they don't make it to the end. There is Zero strategy left at this point. It is just win competitions or go to sequester.

Dfng the difference is that Dick said that he and Vincent specifically set up a code system. They both know that HOH's get letters from home. It was deliberately premeditated and Dick acknowledged that. In a court of law Dick and Vincent would be toast on this.
