Um, if it's not against the rules to get information about the game in your letters, why would Vincent have to put it in CODE? Why couldn't he just say it straight out instead of trying to be all sneaky and clever if they didn't know what they were doing was not allowed?

If it's okay to receive feedback from outside the house, why did they stop the houseguests from seeing the banners? Why did they stop the interviews? I don't think it needs to be in black and white to believe it's a rule. JMO.

He was forced into the DR and grilled about it.

THEN he came out and apologized.

That was right around the same time that Dick was in teh DR for over two hours.

How is the letter not cheating?

Zach asking Jameka for money is that cheating? She did not give him any, nothing exchanged hands, not even a handshake.

To me Cheating is Cheating regardless if its eating while on slop or getting coded letters. If one gets punished so should the other.
As far as seeing the rule book, show me where it says it's not cheating.

Unless Vince works for CBS I doubt he could give Dick any really useful information about the future of the game. Dick likes to brag.

I have written three emails in the last hour to CBS complaining about Dick's cheating....I cut and pasted some of my posts here in their entirety....

I also told CBS and AG that if they think that THIS controversy will go away they are sadly mistaken.....All over the different boards people are screaming "FOUL!"

EVERYONE WRITE TO CBS or call and complain about their hypocrisy if they dont penalize Dick!

I don't know....after Amber's words made CNN and Fox News....CBS better be careful with this...By them allowing Dick's behavior to go this far, it may cause them A LOT of bad publicity....It really could! I don't think this will go away soon at ALL! Once again.....Dick has just gone OVER THE LINE!

does a real person answer, or do you have to leave a voicemail?

if it's a real person, I was just wondering what they said


TVwatcher, a woman answered the phone, asked what it was I was calling about, told her I had a complaint and she said, let me connect you to that line. That one is voice mail and I got to say my whole piece about the ball comp last night, it should have been replayed and about Dick bragging on the live feeds he had set up cheating with his son before coming into the house and that if Grodner was so worried about the *integrity* of the game she would do something about it. Then I made some smart remark about knowing she wouldn't because it was all worked out at the dinner the donato's and she had before entering the house and I thought she should be fired. I left my name and phone number too.

Zach got his warning...like a lot of HG have received warnings...took it back and apologized to Jam about even mentioning it.

Case closed! ( just wanted to say that too)

Klaw, banners stopped because of how cruel they were to the houseguests. Interviews stopped because the media wanted to question Amber about stuff she said in the house and CBS couldn't contain the media to not influence her decision.

And I do think rules should be black and white. No grays for me. People get hurt in life by those gray areas. Example: Cops could pass judgement on one person doing an act saying it was illegal and yet let another person go - their decision on he broke a gray law is too subjective because the cop could base his decision on what race the person is.

Not being a game show, CBS retains the right to run the show or game or whatever you want to call it however they want. I think the only thing one can do is just not watch.

Hahahaha. Maybe the rule-book says something like "The houseguests will be kept locked away from the world for 3 months to avoid all outside interference EXCEPT coded letters from family members. Those are not only allowed, they are encouraged."

Dfng, I presume that family members are admonished to keep the letter vague and not give anything away. They certainly would have to do that. Vincent and Dick planning this ahead of time and ignoring that admonishment is breaking a rule. In my opinion.

The biggest cheat throughout this whole game was Eric, as America's Player.
He was able to infer, from the results of the votes, what was in the minds of the viewers and also adjusted his game throughout to accommodate what he knew.
THAT is why I've disliked the AP this season.
Was it fair to the rest of the HGs? Not at all, yet this outdated letter is causing a ruckus. I don't get it. I vote to disqualify Eric, and Jess, as an accomplice to cheating through knowing stuff from the outside world.

Well give the man a penality nom and be done with it. He was going to get nominated anyway. That's all they did to Jen.
