Dick's Objective
I don't know how many of y'all watched Dick's talk with Eric or Dick's chat with Jessica on the hammock yesterday afternoon before their 'halfway' party, but I found them interesting. Thanks to Quirkydude, you can check them out if you missed them.
What do you think about these convos and do you think Dick's talk with each of them was genuine? Do you think Dick might sway their opinion in any way?

I didn't get to see the ED/Jess vid until now. Whether ED stays or not, he has come clean with me (though his rough-crude tactics are still over-the-top). He has played a good game that has added a lot of spice. He makes people see things in black & white, no grey areas with him. That is one of the main reasons I've liked him. It would be so sweet to watch Dustin go home this week, which may happen (we can only hope, wish and vote for it). If Jess/Eric teamed up with D&D, it wold be almost full-proof...

I think Dick was being honest. I also think he was fishing for information from Eric and the others while asking for their vote in his own kind of way. If Dick survives this vote, he'll have a new arsenal of personal information to use to throw the house in a tizzy in the coming weeks. If he survives Thursday's vote, I believe Dick will win this game.

BOOO-YAHHHH! BYE BYE DUSTIN!

Dick is playing this game like a man on a mission, and I do agree that he has spiced up an otherwise boring group of hamsters!
The "America's Choice" twist could actually save him this week--if we the people tell Eric to vote out Dustin, then he could be gonzo (that's if Josh, Jen and Eric vote to evict Dustin, and Amber and Jameka vote to evict Dick).
I haven't used the "America's Choice" vote yet...but you can bet that tonight I'm casting my ballot to say buh bye to Dustin.

Okay okay----- I am leaning toward ED, Eric, Dustin, Jam and Whamber are sickening- have to admit it- also very boring- thank goodness for the DVR and fast forward. This HG house will be boring if ED isn't there to start some action. Just hope that Eric will have to vote for Dustin, then ED, Jen and Zack- come on Zack, think for yourself, at this point you have a better chance with eliminating Dustin and joining ED/D to stay in the game. Jen seems to hardly be seen but perhaps that is part of her game. I agree if ED stays on Thursday there is a major chance he will win this game.........major.
Thanks for this blog- just love it to the limit.

Thursday will be very interesting to say the least. Dick hasn't changed Jessica's mind and I am pretty sure Amber and Jameka will vote to evict Dick. Zach and Jen are the swing votes, if it goes to a tie breaker Dick is going to sequester.
But, this is only Tuesday, there is no telling what the heck will happen between now and Thursday night. BTW, I haven't forgiven Dick for the nasty verbal attacks on Dustin, Amber, and Jameka. Neither of the three are my favs by any means, but I think they deserve their own justice and that is Dick walking out the door on Thursday. I agree with AmosMoses that if Dick doesn't leave this week, he is there to the end.

Um who is Josh?
Posted by: Nancy at August 14, 2007 08:35 AM
What a slap in the face if Dustin goes, and I hope he does. Dick has been up front with everyone in the house from day one, and even with his meetings with Eric and Jess. I believe he was very honest...his story was exactly the same, and he told it like it was.
I'm glad he made it clear to everyone why he was on a tyrant the other day, and it really does make good sense why he did what he did.
I think Jess will do what Eric wants, and luckily with his mission to get Dustin out, I only hopes it works in that favor. Can't wait till Thursday's show. It might be the best one yet. Can you imagine if D/D both remain in there?
Posted by: dk at August 14, 2007 08:47 AM
ED is not bipolar. If you watch feeds/sho2 you will see his behavior is calculated to get a reaction. He does exactly what he says he'll do.
Eric can still win this as AP, but he still pursues his own strategy and wants us (America) to align with him and follow his lead. He must know by now that the group he is with is our least favorite, but bad or good direction we send him he needs to execute on it, because his vote doesn't count and it's much more difficult to explain. Not saying we directing him to win, qs much as I don't like the weasel factor, his plan is quite good. Align with hot blonde and all the weak players (mentally and physical) and get rid of the strong players. America plays this game a bit personally, and as much as I hate Amber I certainly would keep her before ED and Dani. Anyways, my 2 cents.
Posted by: v6alfa at August 14, 2007 08:56 AM
Think this is all part of Dick's game. Would like to believe him but just can't. Get rid of Dick this week and Dustin next week. Maybe the "double" of the "Double Evection Week".

Help Help! Looking for :Some sweet person who likes typing... I'm stuck with dial up internet service ~ i'm rural... and Canadian so we are still living in the igloo :)
Can someone please offer a quick review of the convos for me please... with whipped cream on top.
Posted by: Marcia at August 14, 2007 09:22 AM
I can only HOPE that jen/zach doesn't flip their votes and vote out dick...it would be such an exciting night to seeeeeeeee dustin get his just rewards. He has been way too cocky for my liking and the way he walks around the house with his king's robe just irks me beyond belief. Who died and left him king for the entire season??? Certainly would shake up jam/amber's attitudes as well. Even if we would have to put up with her wailing everytime she opens her mouth, maybe she would turn out to be a mover instead of being a slider.
Last I have heard (or read) Zach/Jen are still in with Dick/Dani. Has any of that changed??? :::crossing fingers:::
Posted by: diana at August 14, 2007 09:29 AM
would love to see Dustin go.. all thirty votes (10 computer, 10 my cell, 10 wife cell )going to gt Dustin out. havent watched any of the video's yet
Posted by: Devans at August 14, 2007 09:43 AM
After all the crap Dick has pulled since the beginning do u actually believe he was sincere about his talks? I do not believe half of it. True he's trying to keep Dani in the house but he also has information from Jen telling him they were gunna put up Dustin. He's her dad, of course he's gunna try to keep her in the house. But if theres a way to try to make points with other hg he's gunna do that too. Dick and Dani have the advantage in the house, they r family of course they want each other to win and they always have each others backs. They always have a vote in any which way they want it. None of the other hg has that advantage. Yes there was Carole and Jess but they were not family, they were school friends and friends don't always stay friends so how did they have any advantage over the hg? Dustin and Joe were ex's, bad breakup, had alot of bagage so again how was there an advantage over the hg? Family is family no matter how bad they do not get along or dislike each other when it comes down to it they will stick together. So yes Dick and Dani have an unfair advantage, the bond of father and daughter, the bond thats almost impossible to break. Lets face it the other two couples didn't have a chance but Dick and Dani have each other an everlasting bond.
I want Dick out, i want the house to have a fair chance for all hg. I still think that if Dick leaves and doesn't have daddy protecting her or hurting her game we will get to see the real Dani. Good luck to all.

Dick can play the finesse game just as well as Eric can. If only he would have done so from the start he wouldn't have had to arc so hard when he went mean.
He hasn't stated this to anyone, but he is obviously playing for a tie and the hope that Jessica will break it in his favor. Barring that, he is trying to fall on his sword more gracefully than his rampage showed in order to align Zach with Danielle and let Eric give her the benefit of the doubt.
Posted by: Sigma at August 14, 2007 11:21 AM
Not sure if anyone is counting, but it looks like so far it is about 12 votes here for Dustin to go and 2 for Dick.
Make that 13 votes for Dustin to GO!!!!!!!
Posted by: TB at August 14, 2007 11:32 AM
I think that I seriously underestimated Jessica's brains. My mom had to explain it to me. She said when she first came to California, she had never been around so many different types of people and cultures. She loved it and stayed. The same is probably true for Jessica.
I say kudos for Dick for letting her know how the vote could go down. Then if Eric is told to vote out Dustin, half his work is done for him. If Dustin leaves this week, I think I'll want Eric to stay for awhile. It's good that Dick is letting her know, because then if it's a tie, or if Dustin gets evicted, she won't feel betrayed by them.
I would be happy to see Jessica win this. While she was my least favorite at the start, she has been steadily rising in my estimation every week. If Dustin gets evicted, hopefully Amber will be next.
By the way, I was also sad to see Jessica crying yesterday. She's really a nice kid.
Posted by: sandic at August 14, 2007 12:05 PM
I saw part of the Dick and Eric talk yesterday. All Dick is trying to do is lay the ground work if by chance he does stay. Dicks is just rude, crude and socially unacceptable and I believe absolutely nothing that comes out of his mouth when it comes to an apology. The words he yelled at Dustin, Amber and Jameka or even Jen in week 3 or whatever are just unforgiveable. He could have taunted them without being so nasty. Dick showed his hand to early and lost my vote when he did. The last I heard right before Shotoo went off last night Zach was telling Dani that he had already promised his vote to Jessica to vote out Dick if that is what Jessica wanted. He will not go back on that word if and until Jessica comes to him. If Dani/Dick wants to talk to Eric and break the ice before talking to Jessica that would be they way to go and then if Jessica comes to him and tells him to vote Dustin out only then will he change his vote and vote out Dustin. The chances of Jessica changing her mind are slim to none on that one folks. Now we all know that america will put the screws to Eric once again and vote for Eric to vote out Dustin leaving the vote probably 3/3 and Jessica breaking the tie which will be evicting Dick. But then of course, we still have Jen a wild card as I see it playing both sides and the middle. My guess is Dick is going to sequester and I say don't let the door hit ya where good lord split ya Richard! Oh and one more thought. It would be so cool if Jessica and Eric would flip after this week should Dick go home and team up with Jen and Zach. And, I have no idea why or where I came up with that silly idea but I guess I did.

This is my first season as a Big Brother addict. I know they don't get tv, etc., so can someone explain why, when I Googled Evel Dick and came up with his MySpace page, it says he logged in as recently as today? Apologies for being a rookie and asking potentially a rookie question...
From HD - Many of the hamsters give friends/family keys to their homes, cars, etc to take care of things while they're away. Many also give them passwords to their accounts online to keep up with things. Dick gave his son Vincent the password to his Myspace so that it could be looked after by him while Dick's in the house.
Posted by: JBM at August 14, 2007 02:23 PM
Zach talked to Jessica again today and said yes he is still voting Dick out.
Jessica and Eric had a really cute conversation a few minutes ago. Jessica had been giving him the "cold shoulder" because Eric went streaking in the backyard early afternoon and Jessica missed it cuz she was still in bed. Amber and Jameka missed it also. Everybody seemed pretty light hearted today except for Jameka, she is getting on my nerves. She needs to go to sequester so the rest of them can have fun. Amber needs to go to. They are deadbeats!
Posted by: BBFANINDALLAS at August 14, 2007 02:48 PM
I don't for the life of me understand how a group of people who claim to be BB-scholars can screw things up so badly. It seems like every season somebody does the absolutely unthinkable and puts up one of their own as a pawn. Inevitably, it backfires. There was not a single good reason why putting Dustin up was better than putting Jen up. They HAD to know that Jen was a swing vote. Why leave a swing vote out there while at the same time ELIMINATING one of your own team's votes, especially when there's been a wonky vote the last two weeks?
But the BIGGEST mistake this week was putting Daniele and Dick up at the same time. Again, "scholars" of the game would know that the backdoor is not the backdoor unless the person goes up AFTER the POV ceremony. If Jess's intent was to get Daniele out of the house she should have put Dick and Jen up on the block. Then, you "encourage" (which in BB world can actually be observed from the outside as discouraging) whoever wins the POV to use it. The ONLY scenario that would have hosed Jess if she had put Dick and Jen up on the block would have been if Daniele played and won the POV and took Dick off. Otherwise, the POV gets used however Jess wants (you know Zach would do whatever) and Daniele goes up. Daniele goes up and BANG you have a backdoor. Putting your top two targets up at the beginning of the week is amateurish and just plain dumb.
Finally, Eric might be America's Player but he doesn't owe us ANYTHING. He's in there FOR HIMSELF! You people who are throwing stones at him because he's trying to play the game his way while at the same time doing things America wants FOR THE MONEY must be completely incapable of empathizing with his situation. This A.P. thing was a bum deal for him from the beginning, but if you want guaranteed money you accept the deal like he did. Accepting the deal doesn't mean you completely forget about the $500,000 though. Show me a person who would do every single thing America wanted whenever America wanted and I'd show you a person who accepted roughly $20,000 over $500,000. Every-single-one-of-you would be doing the same friggin' thing in his place. So get over it.

I think they were genuine, but also very strategic on his part.

I agree with you on the bad/lack of good strategy by those in the house, but disagree with you on the AP and Eric. I have no sympathy or empathy for how he is playing the game. Regardless of the advantages/disadvantages of being AP, he is not using good sense in even trying to figure out which way America is going or if he has, he has made some poor choices regardless.
Posted by: David at August 14, 2007 04:55 PM
NO way Dick stays this week ...Dustin is the pawn no matter what BS dick is dishing out at the moment ....my vote is 6 to 1 .... They will say anything to Dick to keep him appeased for the week and they will lie just like they did last week. What's everybodies deal againist Dustin, he finally got a set to step up to Dick and you guys all want him gone ....
Posted by: Steven at August 14, 2007 05:20 PM
i don't care who wins, but please don't let BB get boring, and one sure way for that to haappen is for the "good people" to sit in their room and moralize in their righteous manner...BB, for me, is all about the fighting and scheming and lying and backstabbing and betrayals...as dor the Dick-haters, yeah, send him to sequester, with food and drink and rock & roll
Posted by: GeishaBoy at August 14, 2007 05:28 PM
Boy it looks as though the game may be turned upside down this week...bye bye Dustin--given the fact that America has actually played into the houses hand and Dustin is on the block...if America votes Dustin it will be a 4/2 vote and Jameka and Amber will get a taste of the brutal medicine handed out in BB(hehheh)...and Eric can come clean with the vote (its in his best interest to come clean), win the hearts of America and let a new alliance take form...boy Danielle and Dick better make sure the votes are secure with Jen and Zack...Jessica is a floater and her trust in her alliance is questionable...she has her own mind unlike Amber and Jameka who seem to be followers...this game may have just got interesting!!!! Yeah!!!!
Posted by: deb at August 14, 2007 05:49 PM
I really, really hope that Dustin gets voted out, I would love to see his smug look glaring at all of his "friends".
Eric is acting on his own AGAIN, trying to campaign for Dick to leave so that when he does have to vote Dustin out (hopefully) he can just blame it on Zach or Jen....
I so, so, so wish the plan would back fire!! I keep checking the website to see when we can start voting.....
Get Dustin out!

Does anyone know if Eric ever did the streaking he was talking about the other night?
From HD - He did it this morning. :)
Posted by: Beth at August 14, 2007 07:17 PM
I am soo sick of: DICK NO REASON NEED TO BE GIVEN
1.) Dan-ill whinning EVERY day, she hate the house, she hates the people, she hates being there, no one understands her problems.
2.) Zack using the girls in the house...he hates women. Watch the news for an LA rapist roaming in October!
3.) Amber chewing with her mouth open and America hearing it.
4.) Jen playing both sides and NO one likes her..what a FOOL..She loves Herself tho...
5.) Jessica's screeching voice.
6.) Eric's loud whisling.
7.) Dustin's egotisism.
..Did I forget anyone?...yes Jameka..the ONLY player I think should WIN.
In 6 weeks she hasn't disappointed me yet. I hate phoney Christains and I think she's someone who follows the Golden Rule.
Posted by: penny at August 14, 2007 08:12 PM
Dick needs to go. He has no real strategy other than being a pathetic excuse for a person, and seeing as that's how he is in real life, well, that says it all.
My only consolation is that Dick will more than likely face much bad publicity for making homophobic comments, racist comments and generally degrading comments towards women. Then again he probably won't give a flying turd anyway.
As long as Jessica and Zach remain safe, I honestly don't care which houseguest shoot themselves in the foot.
Posted by: Brittany at August 14, 2007 08:16 PM
Oh, and no, Dick wasn't being honest. It's another part of his lame "strategy", he's hoping they'll reconsider throwing him out on his ear. I mean by no means is Dick stupid, he's a very smart player he's just too impetuous. He does things before honestly thinking the whole situation through. Other people would've waited until *after* the veto competition before deciding to act like a...well, I can't say what he is but a disgusting neanderthal at best. Now he's trying to clean up a little of his mess. He keeps saying "I'm not trying to apologize or anything" which only proves he *wants* them offer it up to reassure him he's not going to go. Even if he won't admit it.
Posted by: Brittany at August 14, 2007 08:21 PM
Does it scare anyone that an election is coming up and these HG's can vote???
Posted by: penny at August 14, 2007 09:35 PM
It's way past time to start penalizing these HGs when they sing, whistle, etc. that cuts off the live feed. Money would be my 1st choice...Eric would lose all his winnings.
Posted by: penny at August 14, 2007 09:39 PM
Jameka suxx hahahah, what a waste!! She truly embodies a PHONY poser christian, you dont join Big Brother to preach and pray! You join to lie or play strategically to win money! hahahaha
Jameka is NOTHING in the bb8 house. NOTHING
