Malaka, I've been using this as an avatar on a forum I belong to. Not BB related. My tag line is "The Passion of a Dick" in reference to the paintings of Christ on the cross. I changed it tonight to Puppies.

Nope Sherbabe meant to post it here. Don't post at that 'other' site. Don't think I've said anything that would be considered bashing, just my opinion. I've read worse.

I don't know if it has been mentioned. I am not going back through the entire thread to find out. There was a discussion on whether the church music was offensive or not. Tonight I found it offensive that BB played patriotic type music to represent Dick hanging on to his key. That was very offensive to me.

ED can go hang out with Boogie after the wrap party. I see them becoming fast friends in the awesomely hip LA "scene". Remind me to drive even faster thru Hollywood than I usually do from now on, ugh!

the music was not meant to be patriotic music--it was meant to be music of aging fighter who was trying to hang on Does anyone know what the music was?? and was it ever used as theme music to a movie or TV show

Maybe we are all cynics over at my house...but we found the show's coverage of the ending of the endurance competition sooo cheesy! I don't think it was supposed to be funny but we were cracking up at the dramatic music, etc. somewhat like the choirs in the background when Amber & Jameka were praying.

It sounded rather like Chariots Of Fire or something. A bit on the dramatic side.

I just rewatched the end of HOH Part 1 and the music was a tad dramatic -- reminded me of a fallen soldier type song, but not patriotic sounding, a defeated sound. I was moved at the time. I found it rather hard to watch. Good job by the BB editors.

I will say I almost cried when Dick was on the carrot top. Just for that alone he deserves to be F2... He held out like a champ... I doubt very few people could have had the same lifestyle as he does and held out for just as long...congrats Dick

I don't think Dick is anything like Boogie. I think Dick would have to beat his ass.

Dick has stated repeatedly that he doesn't like Boogie because of what he did to Erika on last year's show with acting like they would be a couple and then making fun of her in the DR. I believe he has met Erika. I don't condone one second of the awful things Dick said. He took things too far and too vile. I have to wonder about the other houseguests not being willing to say anything to him about toning it down. I think it could have been done w/o feeling his rath. The others never spoke up when Eric said the vile things about D/D having an incestuous relationship and Daniele being pregnant by the end. The people who called themselves the "good people" didn't say a word about it being "gross" or uncalled for. I think I have a bigger problem with Eric winning only 5K less than 2nd place. I didn't care for his language nor his actions from the beginning. He won money for some very easy and lame (IMO) tasks. As far as this being scripted? Well, there have been conspiracy theories for as long as I've been watching the show it seems! Eric was only one vote. The rest of the houseguests could have stood up to him and voted Dick or Daniele out. Every year it seems some comps are more suited for one houseguest or another. The endurace comp. definitely was not set up in "favor" of the Donatos. Daniele repeatedly said she had a problem with the cold and water. Dick was seen by a doctor for his ribs and sore arm. If anything, that comp was more suited to Zach. I'm amazed either one of them lasted as long as they did. I think they both did a great job. Heck, even Daniele did a heck of a job staying for over 2 hrs. I don't think I would have lasted 30 min. I can't handle the cold either (not to mention I'm way older and not in shape at all!) I think Dick and Daniele played the game the hardest. When they needed to win comps, they won. When they needed to find a way to stay, Dick would come up w/an offer and was able to convince people to keep him. Just because the other houseguests didn't follow their "instincts," is not the fault of D/D. They voted one each the other two "rivals" out. How could they not target D/D first since they were family, bad relationship or not? Bad game moves on their part. So, because of winning comps and strategizing (not behavior) I think this is a satisfying final two. I'm going to put my votes in for Dick since I believe he will help both of his children. No matter how much I didn't like his behavior, I never doubted that he loved his children. I think he'll do right by both of them. I don't wish ill will on any of the houseguests no matter how much I personally didn't care for them because of their actions. I hope this is a turning point for their relationship. I'm very satisfied with the final two. Good job Zach. I wish you all luck in your lives after BB.

I do feel sorry for Eric. He didn't get to play his game and he wanted for years to get on BB as well. I'm sure he didn't feel he had a choice but to be America's Player. I mean if they ask and you say no well you can't be on the show then because you'll know the secret. He did the best he could even when it went against his friends. People did vote to mess with him, I mean if we were in the house we would've gone after d/d and not put out the one person that saved your behind the week before. Eric really had to commit to what America wanted or he couldn't have pulled it off. He deserved the money he won because it was impossible for him to actually win.

eric was given a spot in this house for the sole purpose of being AP. If he wasn't he wouldn't have been there to play his own game anyway. If he didn't want to do it, they would have found someone else and he would have to re-apply for next year. He'll walk away with about $10,000 in stipend and $40,000 in winnings..pretty darn close to what second place is getting.

Must be nice to not be called to account for your actions because you do not say your are a "good person." Whatever anyone else did on that show does not excuse Dick. His actions went way past game play. In all the years of BB, I never wanted a player to lose because of his behavior if he played a good game. I was pulling for Boogie all the way last year. But Dick falls into a completely different category. He deserves to be where he is because he found a way to get there and I do not wish him any ill. But the end of this season just leaves a very bad taste for me and I suspect I will not bother to watch next year. I always said that BB walked a very fine line between being an interesting game/reality show and being a Jerry Springer type. They have crossed the line. I do not watch Jerry Springer and if this BB of the future, I think my addiction has been cured. I will find another one.

Earthmother, did something change this year where the 2 finalists will still receive their stipends along with their winnings? I think I remember seeing something about that, but kind of glossed over it. If that's not the case, then Eric will match 2nd place, won't he? I also wonder if his AP for the final winner will give him a larger amount, if the AP choice ends up winning, which would make him surpass 2nd place. Im so confused! This is the best final 2 for me since season 1 when Eddie won. I couldn't be happier!

Wow mixed feelings here, however, I am shocked at how many posters think this is a great ending. Like I said, mixed feelings here.

I think it's a terrible ending, and will likely set the stage for BB9 - I'm sure AG will try to top this. blech People have the right to watch human degradation if that's their cup of tea - but Big Brother shouldn't be the show that they tune in to in order to satisfy that desire. That's not what Big Brother is. or was, until this season. There's plenty of other shows that provide that kind of stuff - I wish AG would let Big Brother be what it was supposed to be, and not drag it down into the gutter like she did this year.

I actually think this season may prevent AG/BB/CBS from having "pairs" in the house again...at least for the next few seasons. Not only because of the backlash being more vocal than before, but I really think that towards the end the producers were hoping Zach would be in the F2. It certainly would have made it more interesting. How many viewers are CBS losing with a F2 that "doesn't matter?" If Zach had been in F2, people who are tuning out would be watching and many would be hoping Zach won just for spite. Me, I really don't care although I would have preferred a Zach win for several reasons (I won't go into them.) I don't think they'll do pairs again for some time. I do think they may try a different approach with AP. Not so much the AP votes our way, but more of a "mole" who is given choices that we vote on for different ways to mess with the HGs.

the ratings for the finale? I don't know....there's an Elvis special on ABC, Fox's new series K-Ville premieres, a 2-hour ep of Biggest Loser on NBC, and the Beauty and the Geek premiere on CW-some tough competition...

I suspect the finale ratings will be down considerably. No suspense, no speculation, don't have to guess who will win this year. With the line-up Wilson just listed, I think the other networks may have the upper hand.

exactly - I won't be watching - what does it matter - it's a twofer - might as well make a $550,000 cheque out to D & D Donato - makes no difference how it's split Now, a Zach & D finale - that would be exciting - if you're a D fan, you'd be cheering for him/her - if a Zach fan, you'd be cheering for him - somewhat good vs. def. evil but a D vs D - boring

I don't like this type of entertainment. Especially when it looks like from the very beginning it was set up who was going to win. I will think twice before I spend any time or money (live feeds) on BB9. I will watch finale night but I have no desire to watch these 2 wanna Be's as I've watched enough of their vile behavior. I hope Nick encourages her to blow all of her money as I truly believe she will be winning the 500G's. hahahaha ETA: After Dick won last night, I actually went into the living room and my DH said, you aren't going to watch the rest? I said NO and I didn't and won't watch until the finale.

The problem of AC is that America is not shown the whole reality of what happens in the Big brother house; just the cbs editted version. This summer was made worse when they permitted the on going verbal abuse WITH filthy words. That is not entertainment and turned it off for me. ANd now with the 2 Ds in the finale, write the check already and be done with it. There is no big finale as who really cares which one wins as both are benefiting from it...so just write a joint check and end it now.

plus the fact that TBL and BaTG are going to be revealing THEIR twists that night as well (which we know of course)....I won't be suprised to see a 3rd or 4th place finish.
