Putting one's self in the line of fire unnecessarily makes sense only if one wants to be evicted. Mike talked the other day about how little money he's getting from being on BB. It doesn't seem like he's having a great time either. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's hoping to get voted out before sequester.

FWIW, I think the expressions on the other HGs' faces as they watched Mike during the POV competition said a lot.

He seemed very willing, knowing he was a target himself.I don't think he cares if he goes or not as long as he hasn't laid down for dick to walk over. Very good point, Missyb.

I think he did what he did to put himself in a good light to the other hgs. He hasn't played this game since day one, and now he's caught in a situation with Kail that he can't get out of. The only chance he has is to get the other hgs to see that he is a loyal person and someone they can trust. His problem of course is that Kail spilled all of his business willingly to save her own ass, that he has to work double-time to conteract her mistakes. If he has any sense at all he will not campaign against her ( he must pretend to stay loyal to Kail) and let her shoot herself in the foot, because he knows she's good at that. Let her go to the other hgs and try to throw Mike under the bus, so the hgs can see it is she who is disloyal.

But loyalty is gonna only do so much. What would Mike do if it came down to Kail and he in the F2? Step down and say "I've been loyal so you can win?" Basically pulling a Colby? Or would he expect everyone to vote for him because he was loyal. And shouldn't loyalty be a two way street? I'm not seeing Kail loyal to anyone but herself. The sooner the others see that, the better.

I hope he talks to Eric, today, Earthmother and gets a sense that Kail is going. The first time I heard him talk game is in reading the LF's last night. He finally asked who was going. The players would have told him Kail..heh, heh, which might now be true.

I keep picturing Kail's exit interview if she does leave. She is one I don't exactly see being thrilled when the AP twist is revealed to her.

Until last night I didn't have a favorite. Didn't really like or dislike anyone enough to care. It's different now. I found out I like Mike. I want Kail to go home. I want Dick to be eliminated and it can't be too soon for me. I don't want him to just be simply voted off. I want him sent out the door with every remaining HG cheering, whistling and jumping up and down in glee during his one minute goodbye. I want Julie to tell him he's the first HG she's ever been truly glad to see sitting on the couch beside her. I want all the taped messages from the remaining HGs to witheringly negative. I thought I would never dislike a HG as much as I disliked Chiara. Dick makes Chiara look like a saint. Thank you. Just had to get that off my chest.

Don't get me wrong, I want Mike gone. I think he gives too much credit to the people in the house to assume his silly act of chivelry as anything but just that an act. This is not a game you can win by being self-less. Kail will never be able to get anyone in that house to trust her, and those left would love to be in the finals with her. If they fall for Mike's pitiful attempt at loyalty, he will be in the finals.

I would love to see Dick and Jen in the finals..They have both played this game (for the first time) in an entertaining, unorthodox way. They both (though very different) have managed to make me like this year the best ever so far. They both do things that make me mad and they both do things that endear me to them, sort of like a movie that can make you laugh and cry at the same time. They have taken this game to a level that makes me want to watch them 24/7. I don't see any of the other hgs playing this game. Yes, they have their little story lines, but I see them as support staff for Dick and Jen.

Dick reminds me of Eric, the fireman from a couple of seasons back. OMG, I told my hubby this exact same thing last night, I'm just glad to see someone else agrees

Dick doesn't remind me of Cappy for the big reason that Dick doesn't consider himself morally superior.

I don't see any other houseguests come up with activities and games to keep them busy. If they were playing games, they wouldn't have as much time to sit around and bash other folks, waffle their emotions and strategies, make up lies and stories, etc. At least Dick provides some entertainment. But he's really being too dominating like HOH is a crown of royalty (the Queen Jen mode). Congrats to Jameka & Eric & Jessica for staying out of the frying pans.

As I read some of the posts here I can't help but wonder if we are watching the same program. I thought that Dick came off in an honest portrayal of who he is( hard core outside, mushy inside). The one who comes off looking worse is Danielle. "I want to talk to you"..blah, blah, blah, with Dick asking "how do you want me approach you?" Dani's response "I don't want to talk about it." She keeps repeating that she's frustrated, but only says it's because of his approach to others and to her, but when he asks her to help him, she doesn't want to talk about it. He gets frustrated by her aloofness....SO WOULD I..

what I saw was that Danelle trying to comfront Dic about the bully issue, and Dic turned the discussion away from him and onto what she was doing wrong not adressing the issue she wanted to talk about

Dick's frustrated. Dani's frustrated. Neither of them is more frustrated than I after watching her TRY to tell him how she felt about him being confrontational with anyone who crosses him. He might try listening for a change instead of dominating every conversation. I was hoping he would let her voice her feelings about that particular subject but he kept turning the conversation to Dick/Dani/Nick. He didn't want to hear her out about why she called him in for a talk. That's the most frustrating thing of all, in my opinion. I can see why she cried and left the room.
