How Would You Choose The Winner? Part 1
We have Dick and Daniele. One of them is going to win $500,000 and the other will walk away with $50,000. How would you choose the winner?
I'm going to write about two ways that the decision could be made. In Part 1, I'll go over the competitions that Dick and Daniele won, their ultimate results, and other important gameplay moments that resulted in them staying in the house. In Part 2 (tomorrow), I'll go over Dick and Daniele's attitude and behavior in the house both towards each other and towards their fellow hamsters. At the end of this post, I'm going to ask kindly that you pick who your vote would go to when it comes to gameplay only.
Let's look at how they fared in competitions. Overall, Daniele won HOH two times and she won the POV five times. Dick won HOH three times and he won the POV once.
When Dick won his his first HOH competition it was Week 3 and he nominated Kail and Jen. That week, he let Jen win the POV and replaced her with Mike up on the block and Mike was evicted by a vote of 7-2. Mike wasn't even a real threat to him at the time. He just got pissed about Mike's collusion with Kail in trying to get his glass on his hat to fall so he removed the glass himself and let Jen win.
Dick won his second HOH competition in Week 10. He nominated Jameka and Eric, Zach won the POV, chose not to use it, and Eric went home. Remember that this happened during the Fast Forward live episode. Also remember it was during this time that Zach was still working with Dick and Daniele so when Zach won POV and didn't use it, it was the final nail in Eric's coffin.
Dick won his final, and the most important HOH, just two days ago. Of course, he chose to evict Zach over his daughter and sent Zach packing leaving himself and his daughter as the final two. Dick fought hard to beat Zach in part 1 of the HOH competition and lost, part 2 between himself and Daniele was moot, and he came through when it mattered the most by winning the final part of the HOH competition.
Dick won his only POV in week 6. It was one of the two most important POV competitions either him or his daughter won (the other won by his daughter in week 2). In this week 6 though, Jessica was the HOH and had nominated himself and Daniele. Dick won the POV and used it on his daughter which left him up on the block. Jessica replaced Daniele with Dustin and Dustin was evicted becoming the first member of the jury. Dustin's over-inflated ego caused Jessica to put him up on the block while Dick spun his magic (if you wanna call it that) on Jessica and Eric creating a foursome between him and his daughter and Jessica and Eric. The votes came down this week 4-2 with Eric (America) voting to evict Dustin and Jen voting to evict Dustin as well. Dustin was shocked as all get out when he was evicted. We all remember that moment don't we?
Daniele won her first HOH (the first endurance challenge plus banner) in the very scandalous week 5. Besides the banner during the HOH endurance competition, Daniele promised Kail she wouldn't go home this week causing Kail to give up and let Daniele win believing she'd be safe. This was also the week of the bunny or rather bunny suits and Jameka giving up the chance to compete in 5 HOH competitions. This was the week that Dick went off on Eric for the hinky vote causing Nick to go home the previous week. Daniele nominated Kail and Jen for eviction and Jen won the POV competition by ultimately choosing to give up a possible $250,000 of her winnings. Jen used the POV on herself, Daniele put Eric up in her place, and Kail was evicted by a vote of 4-3. Oh, and this was also the week that Amber's anti-semite remarks made national news.
