Go24 that is a valid point.
I'm not sure what I think about it...did you guys hear Jameka when she stated that the ball went straight into her tube? I thought I heard something like that from her.

Well, things went down as I was afraid they would. Zach is our last hope ... which is a shame, 'cause I don't have a whole lot of confidence in him. If Danielle gets to the final 2, she deserves to win because she's really dominated in the challenges (even though I think she's extremely two-faced and snooty), but if Dick makes the final 2 and the jury awards him the win, I'm going to be really, really disappointed in humankind. There is absolutely NO WAY that behavior like that should ever be rewarded -- game or not. In real life, he probably would've been arrested several times over for the way he's acted.

Kinda sad that Jamekia is a ghoner. But u knew it had to happen sometime. Hope Zack wins the HOH. Then get rid of either Dick or Daniel.

violet, come to the spoiler board. You know u want to :-) the spoiler board is calling for you :-) just one little peak :-) everyone is doing it :-)
Go24, you have a good point about the ball comp. However, ED has openlly bragged about things he's done to break the rules before, and he's still there. He feels like he owns the game, and can get away w/just about anything. Besides, why else would he be holding a blue ball behind him? Anyway, just to much evidence to ignore I think. CBS seems to turn a blind eye to the Donatto's and their antics all in the name of ratings.

My mom thinks it's a conspiracy. I'm praying that if those two get to the finals that the jury will refuse to give one of them the money. Giving to one is giving it to both and that stinketh. Their behavior is just beyond reproach.
I'm PRAYING for Zach. I'm proud that he's acted so respectably through the entire thing with Dick. I'd have already slapped him by now....

I deliberately did not watch BB last Sunday and last night once I found out Dani won the POV but since Zach is back on the game....I will have to watch the shows I missed online. I was just so bummed that I just did not want to see the arrogance with the Donatos.

You hit the nail on the head, there. Cheating, threatening, bullying ... he's done it all in broad daylight, and they haven't done a thing about it. People are watching and talking, and that's all they care about.

FYI - The ball bounced in. No one put it in. :)
That said, I am hoping Zach can answer the questions correctly tonight. I do not want Dick or Danielle to win. I really really don't. The biggest SHAME is the reality that America created this monster by voting everyone else out.
Oh, and the saddest thing is how much BB has edited the whole game to make Dick look better then he is. From what I hear, the verbal abuse he gave Zach after POV was really really bad. Some how they edited it to make it look "bad, but not too bad". It's sickening, really.
I'm so ashamed I wasn't voting for Jameka sooner. Now I know what Amber meant by 'the good people' once i got online and started reading.
Zach isn't my favorite, but he definitely deserves it more then the Donato's. They think they can lie and twist the game, but if anyone else does - Well, it's WRONG! and IMMORAL!
sigh.

Well, at this point I'm really wishing I hadn't gotten into this season. I love reality t.v., and BB was the only new series playing this summer, but I'm SO frustrated that these two jerks are sitting in the final 2. I completely blame the other houseguests who didn't have the "stones" (as Zach correctly put it) to do anything about it ... but I'm also really annoyed with CBS for letting Dick carry on like the overgrown, over the hill, angry punk that he is. When he finally walks out the door of that house, he should have a pair of lawmen waiting to escort him off to jail.

Yeah, I'm disgusted with it. All of the houseguests who had an opportunity (Jessica!!!!!) to get rid of one of them are to blame. I liked Zach and I think he handled everything with much dignity...

As far as I know, that's never been proved one way or another ... but Dick DID blatantly, out-in-the-open cheat regarding the letter that his son sent to him when he won HoH. That's completely documented on video. Did the producers do ANYTHING about it? No. They're more concerned about Jen eating food than Dick compromising the integrity of the game.
I must have missed something. What letter?

BTW, you can fast-forward to :45 when Danielle finally comes out and they talk about it.

WOW. I knew nothing about that. CBS needs to have their rear ends kicked. I honestly may never watch again. Personally, I thought after All-stars last year they could never get better, and this year just stunketh, so I feel I was correct.
I'm SO DISGUSTED!!

What exactly are "we people" saying that you have a problem with? We're all disgusted that no one evicted these two earlier, and that CBS believes that cheating, threatening people, and being a foul-mouthed, angry tyrant is acceptable in this "game" they've set up. No one here is denying that "they won". We just all hate the way it happened, just like Zach does.
I'm also pretty disturbed at the number of people (not necessarily on this board) who have been cheering for Dick all along. And we wonder what's happened to our society ...

Good reply, GO.
It is a game, but it's a perfect example of why our society is in such a poor state right now.
Dick got his way by bullying, manipulating, threatening, cursing, and violating people who were simply trying to play the game, too.
I think it's a sad time when the almighty dollar drives a television company to allow someone such as Dick to simply ABUSE the other people.

We understand that it's just a game. That's not the problem. The problem is EDs behavior, and his daughter's endorsment of it. There is plenty of video fotage to prove what we are talking about. There are things that are a MILLION times worse than what CBS has shown. If this were the real world, the HGs would have been able to get a restraning order long ago. Just one example: Jenn is trying to talk to someone (Amber, I think) in the SR. ED comes in, and starts cussing at Jenn, and going off on her. He than tells her "I can't wait to squeeze your throat, and feel your bones crush between my fingers." Anyone remember Justin from season 2? He got kicked out for repeated threats of violence, threats of rape, and pretending to act out violent acts on one of the girls. Yet ED can say things like what I quoted above, and MANY other violent things to, and about people, and that's OK? That's where the problem comes in. God forbid Jen should eat food when she's on slop, yet EDs "antics" are OK?

I remember reading something with an interview with Kaysar mentioning that it is game but when you're in that house with other people, they might think that it's all camera but for the entire summer that ...that's it...that is reality to them- 24/7. So I guess it doesn't matter on how much you think you'll portray yourself in front of the camera after a few days, that real character will come out. And ED's behavior-- pretty much shows it all and same with Danielle. It's not just a game...it's who they are in real life. In the real world, he would have been charged for harrassment and pretty much like musicboss mentioned with Jenn...he threatened her with bodily harm.

This is just sad. I guess these days "a game" involves completely verbally abusing your housemates and slandering GOD our creator counts is all good if you are playing "a game". People that love D&D either don't have the real story behind those two or don't care. Still I will pray for those lost souls.

That's the bottom line. In any sort of reality show/game, your game-play -- no matter who you are -- might involve outwitting people, fooling people, strategizing and "playing the game" ... but the way you treat and talk to people comes from inside. A truly peaceful, "good" person doesn't do that -- WOULDN'T do that.
Anyone watching this show who would say "outside the house, Dick ISN'T the angry, hostile, aggressive, foul-mouthed person that he is INSIDE the house" is completely delusional. Did he play it up? Absolutely. He KNOWS he can intimidate, abuse and manipulate people by acting like that, and therefore, get far in the game. HOW DO YOU THINK HE KNOWS THAT??? If he truly runs with the rough, rock-n-roll, fast-living, Hollywood club crowd that he says he does, he probably lives this way every day of his life.
And CBS has a responsibility, for the well-being of the other competitors, to avoid casting time-bombs like that.

). Either way it would be drama tailor-made for this sometimes-sleazy game and I can't believe that the producers wouldn't bring it to light ... so that leads me to believe that ED probably didn't do it.
I'm so proud that I have held off even this long...but sooner or later I will give in.
