. But I think this will give him a lot of opportunities out of the house. Opportunities to do what exactly?

I agree that it is likely that nothing will happen. Both AG and Dick's fans feel that he can do anything with impunity. I understand AG's motivation (ratings) but I just don't get why Dick fans would enjoy watching him win now. These are the same people who got so upset when Jen broke the rules, why aren't they upset about Dick doing so as well? Or am I misrepresenting Dick's fans? Do those of us who like Dick really think that he should get away with this?

However, there is a precedent for breaking rules before they go into the house. On All Stars, they weren't supposed to communicate with each other, yet on the finale the producers made fun of the Mr. and Mrs. Smith alliance. They know it goes on, and they overlook it. Why should they treat Dick differently than they treated almost the entire cast of All Stars?

Either a penalty vote or he is not allowed to play for this veto. Why should Jen be penalized and not Dick for blatently cheating. If he is not penalized for cheating then BBs' integrety really goes down in my book.

I think if Dick wins, it's because it is well deserved. But I can't see the jury voting for him over Jameka or Zach. There is still the possibility he can win over Zack.. Not one person in that house ever thought Zack should win.... remember Boogie last year! Dick by far played a much better game than Zack.. or with Zack what game?! GO DICK!!!

Let's stick to this season. AG wasn't in charge last year. She's set the bar by punishing Jen. Why not punish Dick too?

I Agree with you Milo .... like Jani said in her recent interview: Do you think these people are truly heinous in real life? I think the house amplifies any sort of personality trait that people find annoying. If you are an emotional person, you're going to be an absolute wreck in there. There's a lot more pressure and stress in the BB house than in everyday life. So basically what this is saying is that in fact Dick is like this to a degree in real life. It may be amplified in the BB house and that I believe but this is still his personality trait. He is probably more extreme in his bashing and attacking in the house, but this is still what he does to a lesser degree on the outside.

Both AG and Dick's fans feel that he can do anything with impunity. Unless anyone here has a rule book, we don't know what the rules are, do we? How can we impune someone who hasn't broken written rules. Dick has no control over letters sent to him, that's BBs job and if they don't have a rule to cover it, then no rule can be broken. I'm sure there will be different rules next year, but as for this year knowing Dick he has checked everything to be sure he is not in violation.

If you are an emotional person, you're going to be an absolute wreck in there. emotional perhaps, but no one can claim for a fact that someone is shady in real life based on a role they play on a television show, imo.

if Dick checked everything, and there was no rule, then why bother coding it? why not just spell out the information? saying Dick has no control over the letters makes no sense - he set this up beforehand - he knew what his son was telling him - those letters WERE controlled by Dick

Earthmother, if Jen had bragged about getting a coded message in a letter when she was HOH, would you have felt the same way? And just to remind people, this is the same production team that threatened to sue a guy who was hired to fly a banner. They most certainly do care about outside influence on the game. Except when Dick does it, apparently.

BB wouldn't have given him the letter if the info was all spelled out. HGs have used sign language and pieces of candy, etc. to spell out messages to each other and they have never been given any penalties for it. The only reason Jen got a penalty vote, was that she continued to break the rule, over and over. If there were no other hg on slop at the time imo she wouldn't have gotten one then either. That vote was given to her because of Jameka, not the rule necessarily.

I still have to respectfully disagree with so many people saying Zach hasn't played the game it all. IMO, I don't really see what's wrong with laying lower, observing people around you, and making the best moves for "yourself" in the game, and when he's really needed to keep himself in the game recently, he's stepped in up some in the competitions. Although that might not be everyone's cup of tea as to how to play the game, I think he has in his own way. Everyone is different. That's why BB is BB. If everyone played the same strategy it would get awfully boring awfully fast. There'd be no point to it! (JMO)

<57> The penalty was for eating while she was supposed to be on slop, not for eating on slop while another houseguest was also on slop. And hgs are permitted to tell each other things, especially when the camera can tell what they are doing, it's the outside influence that is the problem. Dick's letter didn't spell out anything, remember it was a secret code designed to circumvent detection. It was supposed to be secret because it was against the rules. However, Dick cannot shut up about anything, especially if he thinks it makes him look clever, lol.

I'm still holding out hope that AG does the right thing - she can't let this admitted cheating pass without a penalty - especially when she carries on about integrity in the game - jen got her punishment to preserve the integrity - they redid the hoh comp last year to preserve the integrity - they put a cease & desist order on the banner company to preserve the integrity - IMO, whatever integrity this game had is now gone out the window if they sweep this under the rug they need to give dick a penalty nom if he is off the block after the veto meeting - and if he's on the block, they need to give him a penalty vote

I don't either KC, as long as they start to play at some point, and Zach has. Jameka has not played this game, and I will be dissapointed if she gets into the final two. I think the year I was most upset was when Lisa won. She did absolutely NOTHING to get to the end but hitch her wagon to Dani. She got lucky in the last challenge and goes on to win and Dani was totally villified.

KC---ITA about Zach. For the last several weeks, I started seeing Zach as a "sleeper". Floating along, not winning and waiting until he needed to make his move. I've always thought he was extremely intelligent and to some degree misunderstood because of it. Now he's pulling out all the stops and kicking butt. I like his strategy...and I do think he has one. I'm waiting to hear some big end speech talking about his strategy.
