I think they tend to "steer" the show the way they want by the comps they choose at certain times

From what I've heard/seen posted before (and I believe CBS production members have said this in interviews as well) that all competitions are decided on - as well as their order in the game -before the show starts. Claims that the producers sway the end result of a competition by 'picking' a competition that is geared toward one houseguest rather than another isn't fact.

Delilah, Jess let Eric go talk to Dani for her. Dani said she knew they would be concerned after her comment about only three playing in HOH; she covered it saying she meant week nine. And she told Eric to take a chill pill because it's all okay and Jameka's leaving.

And that was Jessica's mistake. She's letting someone else do the talking for her. Daniele will not respect her for that.

I don't mean to be argumentitive (sp?) but Dani has let her father control all of her game play. So I don't think Dani is in any position to judge Jessica for that "mistake". JMO, no disrespect.

Thanks, Tres.

Why isn't Jess talking for herself? I don't really know what she could say at this point that would sway D/D into keeping her, but even Amber put up some kind of lame fight at the end!

Jess was having bad cramps yesterday, and Eric said he'd talk to Dani. It wasn't a strategic talk but rather a plea to give him a heads up so they could enjoy their last couple of days in the house together. I'm not sure what else can be said at this point as D&D have the deciding votes.

Didn't Julie say last Thursday that Eric had completed 17 of 22 tasks before Amber was evicted? Eric has completed 3 additional tasks since then (Amber's eviction, Jameka's nomination, and imitating Dick). This means Eric now has $40K for 20 completed tasks. If this count is accurate and AP ends Sept 12th, then he doesn't have enough time to complete 5 more tasks, right? There will only be 3 more at best and it looks like he will fail getting Jameka out. That leaves only the next nomination after double eviction (if he's still there) and one more silly clown performance. If Eric knows this, I hope he just refuses to play any more, or only gives a half-hearted effort. Too bad he doesn't realize America is not playing for him, but for Dick instead.

I cannot fathom how Dick functions with so little sleep.

Mama:"I don't mean to be argumentitive (sp?) but Dani has let her father control all of her game play. So I don't think Dani is in any position to judge Jessica for that "mistake". JMO, no disrespect."

But isn't voting out Jess instead of Jameka, Dani's idea? So she is not listening to her dad. Instead it was Dick who felt really bad having to break the deal with E and J.

Foggy: I agree - Dick has been playing Dani's game. The week Dani nommed Eric, Dick tried to tell her to wait, that it was a little early to turn on the LNC, even knowing what they thought they knew about Eric. But noooo, Dani would have none it, so Dick, even knowing it was the wrong move, supported her.

Now, this week Dani wants Jess gone. Dick doesn't and after some discussion gave in again to what Dani wants. Dick may be a big (whatever) but I do believe he wanted to stay true to the 4 alliance, but because it isn't what Dani want, Dick will go along.

I really wish D/D had not been on together. I think it would be interesting to see either one of them on a separate season of their own and see how they would play.

Mama, if you've been watching you'll know that Dani is every bit as much a part of D&D's strategic discussions as Dick is. Many of their moves were at her suggestion, in no way is he controlling her game play.

From LF's:
Zach and Dani are talking about Jen again. Dick says, "Can we stop talking about her? She's gone." NT

Hmm, since Dick is actually the one who keeps talking about Jen, I have to wonder if the DR said something to him about it. Makes me wonder more what happened with Jen after she left the house.

Cricket, at this point I believe Eric bashes Jen almost as much as Dick does, and all of them continue to talk about her on a daily basis. I feel sure we would have heard something about Jen had she decided not to go to sequester. What I think is more likely is that Dick got some pointed questions in the DR about his obsession with her, which rankled him and made him not want to talk about her anymore.

What I found equally interesting was Jess saying to Jameka that she doesn't think everything Jen said was a lie.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a lawyer contacting her and offering to represent her in a lawsuit against BB, Tresbien. BB might be trying to cover themselves in that instance.

Jess has always wavered on Jen lying or not. At one point, they decided to align together. How much better would it have been if Jameka/Jess/Jen had aligned and the Donatos were out of the house. Game on!

According to Kail's chat, Jen is in sequester. Per Jen's mom.

Is that a night light in the HOH room that Zach was playing with?

Ah, Cricket, I see where you're coming from now. I wasn't thinking legal action but it's certainly possible. However, Jen seemed pretty accepting and positive about her experience when she was on Housecalls. I tend to think she'll move on from this and not take that route--just a guess, of course.

Recently, it had seemed like Jess had decided to trust Eric and put all of her doubts aside. That's why I was surprised by her conversation with Jameka about Jen.

Scotchbrite...we can't really believe that. There have been comps that were tailored to specific things that the HG's do in the house. Last year (or was it 6), they had the giant Coasters game. This year, it was beer pong. The producers couldn't have known that they were going to start throwing coasters into the dip in the coffee table and make a game of it.

The only reason he called them those names is because NONE of those girls would give him the time of day..and he was hoping somebody would..

You hit the nail on the head there Ruby. The whole reason he started ripping Jen was because she made it clear that she didn't think he was sexy and hurt his feelings in the butter comp. He could not get over some pretty girl thinking he wasn't hot so he proceeded to make her life miserable and gave everyone a scapegoat to take their frustration and insecurities out on. Dani obviously agreed as Nick was first attracted to Jen and we couldn't have that.

I hardly ever watch my feeds this year. It was a total waste of money. Every time I turn it on there is Dick letting out these huge wet farts, snorting up these gross spits, burping or still tearing apart Jen even though she's been gone for ages. The funny thing is if you ask Jen a couple years from now about Dick, she would probably say, "Dick who?" yet if you bring up Jen's name 25 years from now Dick would probably go into one of his long tirades about her. LOL

IMO Dick and Eric make Boogie, Cappy, April, Alison and Ivette look good. Maggie didn't make the cut. Hey - maybe they could do a "Worst of The BB" season. They wouldn't even have to air it. Just lock them all in together for the summer and see who comes out at the end!}

There is NO explanation Dick can give for his behavior. NOTHING! I can't believe the guy is still in the house. I think he's scared them all and they refuse to do anything which is the reason they will win. This is the saddest BB I've ever seen. I feel we totally got ripped off.
