Somehow, I don't view encouragement as code. We can read anything into everything if we want, I suppose. I can only make up my mind on what was actually said at this point, by Dick to Dani. From what Zach said, I could only surmise that he got an injection of "Atta Boy" from his family.

Sorry if it seemed like i was yelling i was just trying to make a point and just now realised where the Bold button is.

However Zach just came to his sense and realised it was his smartest move in the game to go after D&D. These people arent in the house just to give the Donatos the money.

Dick tried to cheat and that cant be denied. Cardinal rule broken!

Anyone have contact information for BB?

Oh, heck, even items in their basket can be codes. If I send you m&m's, that means to mingle, if I send you a kit kat bar, that means to switch your alliance, or if I send you a hershey kiss, that means you have it right. Come on, even shirts, hats, underwear etc. can be codes. They need to change it up next time, nothing at all from home, even phone calls, because they can be coded too.

I don't get why his family, father, will tell Zach do it with honor, and then he jumps over to Jam, knowing full well that he can't win with her at his side. That has to be the single most ridiculous thing a family member would tell, if in code or whatever. They just handed Jam the money, and Zach with diddly, makes no sense, Just saying though.

Zach wasnt playing for 3rd place. At least with Jameka he is ASSURED of at LEAST 2nd place. The Donatos are BLOOD. They are always going to pick each other and anybody can see that.

Seems pretty logical to me....

Possibly Jb, if you set it up ahead of time to signal those messages and thereby cheat the game, as Dick did.

you know if it wasn't 2 family members in the house, Dick may have never admitted(at least while IN the house) that his letter/s ? were coded.But because it was it daughter he felt he could say it. From what it looked like to me, he was just running his mouth then suddenly looked up and laughed at the camera ... like oOOoOOoPps ... oh well !!!

people have mentioned the ALL-STARS having contact before the show. Wee Bit different because they kinda knew they might be chosen and kinda knew who some other obvious choices for all stars would be easier to set up an alliance prior to show time.


In a "normal"( and I use that term loosely) season contestants/game players are NOT suppose to know anyone else unless it is a specific twist the producers have conceived. But when in a "normal" season players get together before the game to stategize when they aren't suppose to know the other is going to be there. THAT is wrong.

I just had a silly thought... I wonder if BB ever has to edit these letters from home. They could really mess someones game up ... lol

Oh, talking about cheating. Jameka just set up a code with Zach "in case they can't talk." "One for ED because he's older, two for Daniele."

They are setting up their own code. Is that cheating???

Some posts have been removed. Let's stop talking about each other and talk about the game please.

Thank you.

Who knows if everyone doesn't get coded letters. There is no way for BB to totally screen for that. It seems there was a message for Zach coded into his letter also. The mere fact that some find it necessary to grasp at such a straw is quite sad. I for one think that whoever wins there way from here deserve to get the prize. I have a preference but I think it's silly to think that some coded letter about houseguest already voted out could possibly affect the game. On the other hand who, but Dick would be honest enough to reveal it. Ya gotta love that guy.

well I am firm in my belief that it was cheating - he went in there with a prepared plan to cheat - it'd be no different than if his watch was capable of receiving text messages - that would be cheating as well

I've emailed CBS, Arnold Shapiro (cuz I couldn't find AG's email address), Housecalls, Fox News Entertainment Desk, TMZ, and several others I can't remember.

It's a game for $500K - one person gleefully admitting to cheating casts a pallor over the whole thing.

If AG lets this go, she'll have the reputation of running a dirty show, IMO

Exactly Costa .....

Dick tried to cheat and that cant be denied. Cardinal rule broken!


you don't know .. nobody knows... Are you basing this on Truth .. Facts, or is it just your perception of what you think it is.

It's done ..... He didn't cheat He did not kicked out .... he is still in the game...no matter how many time you contact CBS .... it just doesn't matter.


The game goes on .....

I dunno whether I have a problem with codes in letters because if I were applying to this show, I'd set up codes with my friends and family too. I'd even set up ways to talk to you guys here. Since BB wants to control how you think and do things in the house (through DR, etc.), I'd be trying to think of all the ways I could to subvert their control. There's a lot that's not fair to the contestants just by the very nature of the show.

However, I also wouldn't quibble if BB decided to "punish" anyone who would admit to having set up codes with people on the outside. And by not doing so they are only encouraging more people to do it in the future. It will now be a part of the game much like Nakomis' "backdooring".

I get really bothered when people say that Zach "just now came to his senses" by going after D/D now. Not because I like D/D but because I actually think Zach had a plan all along. Just because you wanted him to keep someone in the house doesn't mean he was wrong to get that person out over D/D. I think he has a plan for F2 and he's been working towards that all along, including not using the veto.

I suspect the only ramifications of any thoughts of coded letters would be that in the future no letters would be given for HOH. Now that would be a killer.

This is Dick's son's post from SS...

"I will just say that he doesnt have the code quite right and from what I have read hear and in myspace messages, he missed more than half of the message

Honestly I cant believe he even brought it up... he must be feeling either very confident or very bored. He seriously can not keep his damn mouth closed.

I miss the live feeds "

So it was coded.

And nothing was done about it.

Those Donatos sure know about cheating! :-)

I heard all kinds of heck raised about the cheating code dick got from his Son yet Jameka and Zack make a code to cheat at the POV and there is hardly a ripple. Things that make you go MMMM

I don't have a problem with Vincent's post - I'm just glad it puts to rest the theory that Dick made all this up

and we know the DR was pissed about it (Dick & Dani's own words)

I was posting that as to assure everyone that there was a code. Those that say it wasn't cheating.

Vincent was giving outside information to Dick. Zach and Jameka were deciding who to eliminate if they are given the chance.

It still amazes me that there are some people that think this hasn't been going on for years with the letters this season included.

Eric's brother (SenorX) responded on the next page? Very telling, IMO.
