I've thought that Jen has been playing a character while inside the house, and the hometown interviews have pretty much cemented that aspect of Jen's gameplay for me.

Eric totally threw HoH at the very end. It was interesting that he feared Danielle over the other 2 remaining contestants.

I find it to be incredibly funny that Mike did this to himself lol, he practically dared Dick to put him on the block and now he's gone and it didn't have to happen this soon.

I'm sure he would have went eventually but he allowed ego, excuse me, integrity of character cloud his gameplay judgment, I mean what did he sign up for this game for if he was just going to crap out like he did so easily? Dumb move.

I really feel for Daniele's BF, that poor guy has to keep telling himself that it's all gameplay in order to keep from losing his mind, he seemed like a good guy, too. I hope they're relationship survives this, I really do.

I can't wait for the Showtime feed tonight!

Congratulations to Joseph_S for being the only entrant in the BB8 Top Ten Challenge to still have a perfect score (00) at this point. This is a really tough challenge when you have more than 10 items to choose from for your top ten. (See separate thread).

I really thought Dick was a goner when Jen was HoH 2 weeks ago.

Dick needs to be gone. I honestly don't think Dick belongs in this game. My problem with him is that he knew this game is about people trying to evict you but he can't take that. As soon as he learns someone is trying to get him evicted he gets furious and I mean literally furious and verbally attacks and insults them. You can call it gameplay all you like but it's not, it's childish, immatute verbal abuse. There's a fine line between psyching someone out and being rude and obnoxious (abusive) and when anger is the driving force it's just plain abuse. He just uses the excuse of psyching someone as an excuse to abuse. If he couldn't take it like a man he shouldn't have entered the game. He reacts like a childish school yard bully that attacks anybody that doesn't want to play the way he wants to. I can clearly see why Danielle had no desire to reconsile with him. He's a freakin jerk.

Dick is highly entertaining. I couldn't imagine another bore like Jameka or Danielle in there. I think the only thing Jameka has said thus far is...ummm hmmmmm. I agree that Dick has been verbally abusive, but you have to remember, they COULD HAVE evicted him and didn't. In fact it was 9-1 to keep him. Not sure you watch the feeds or Showtime, but CBS has skewed the players to be what they want you to see them as.

It's comical to see Jen and Kail back up on the block. And if they backdoor Zach, as it seems possible. the late night crew has talked about them going back to them next week if they win HoH again. Has anyone ever been on the block in pairs 3 weeks in a row?? I'm hoping that Kail gets ent packing. She is just plain annoying to me. And I can't wait for Dick to give it to her again.

 

[Daryl L]

Yep I've recorded ShowtimeToo every night since it's started and watched them the following afternoon and all the Primetime CBS feeds. I agree Dick has been somewhat entertaining but his obnoxiousness over shadows that for me to the point of anoyance. And I honestly believe the 9-1 vote between Dick n' Joe was partly due to some (beyond my unsderstanding) unspoken fear of Dick by a couple, blood relation of Dicks daughter and her WHIPPED! wanna be boy toy's fear of alienting her. Plus Dick put on a front as a fun, nice, good guy and had just barely started showing his true colors (rude persenality) by then. Top that with the total whinning annoyance Joe instantly became.

BTW. I just watched Housecalls for the first time on cbs.com and Mike said on Fridays episide that he tasted slop and it wasn't as bad as many made out, that it was just oatmeal and protien powder.

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

I loved Dick when I only had the primetime shows and I love him even more now that I have the Showtime Too feed.

You know who's coming off as just pathetic is Zach, as soon as Dustin won HoH Zach pounced on him, campaining hard up in the HoH room by telling him that he's got no friends and that he'll "write in blood" the promise to stick with Dustin and that he'll vote for him if he's in the sequester house.

Anyone know what the latest friction is between Amber and Dick? They mention it in the scroll on the feed but so far (watching it now) no one has talked about it furthur. LOVED Daniele giving Nick the cold shoulder in the HoH room, she owes him nothing and the more she does to distance herself from that muscle-bound relationship torpedo the better off she is.

Lastly, and this surprises me, the more I watch Jen the more I like her, once your past what she lacks in character you realize that she's not so bad.

BTW, old time BB fans: Dr. Will (Kirby) is going to be on the new season of Dr. 90210 starting this coming Monday at 10 p.m. EDT on E!

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

Welp, Jen and Kail on the block...again lol.

Watching the ST feed from last night, Eric sooo wants to get with Jessica, the house was going on like BB was pumping laughing gas in through the ventilation ducts and she and Eric were bored to tears and looking for things to do, they made their way to the room where she layed down on the bed and he wanted so much to climb in with her, it was written across his face like a bad moustach lol.

Can't blame him, that girl is smokin' hot.

 

[mike caronia]

Wow! If anyone has the live feeds...they saw dick totally cross the line...cursed out Jen viciously. Crazy. I thought they might come in and escort him out. I still like the guy, but he certainly has anger issues!!

Crazy tense houseguests today!

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

^^I wish I could have seen that! All the coolest stuff happens when the ST feed isn't on. :frowning:

But I do feel for Jen, though, she may be spoiled but nothing i've seen of her warrents getting that angry at her.

 

[RyanAn]

Anyone know of site that has a breakdown of the major events in the house similar to the last few seasons that aren't just shown on television? I don't get the Showtime feed. :frowning:

Read today's live feed thread for all the action...

My wife and I are BB8 fans. Love it!

The biggest pet peeve I have right now is Kail's fake smile. I hate that nervous, jaw down, teeth exposed BS smile. ARGH!

[Inspector Hammer!]

What exactly did Dick say to Jen? I'm having trouble with that site (link works i'm just having trouble loading it),

I'm very curious.

 

[RyanAn]

Thanks a lot Mike!!!!

Wow, BB After Dark has to be one of the best shows on TV.

The live show last night (I'll keep spoilers to a minimum) was just wild.

Dick, love him or hate him, is just a monster. Some of the comments he was saying to Jen were truly horrible. Even if you hate Jen, they were out of line. He was just like a schoolyard bully, yet a 44 year old one picking on someone his daughter's age.

But, it makes great TV.

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

Wasn't last night's feed just awesome!? It was getting good again when it ended :frowning:, I vote they make it 4 hours next year.

Now, i'm man enough to admit when i've made a huge error in judgement but I am officially no longer on board with E.D., the man has issues and Jen didn't deserve the extremes he went to, not by a longshot.

Sure she may have spoken out of turn about Daniele (but IMO she was right on the money with that, Daniele is cheating on Chris with Nick, I don't know what else to call it when she's constantly snuggling up to him, it isn't gameplay like Chris thinks it is) but no one deserves the earful she got from Dick and Nick and she didn't deserve to have tea poured on her head, IMO that's mild assault but that may be just me.

And I am just in awe of Jen! She is probably the greatest example of what's known as a teflon personality that i've ever seen! There was Dick and her by the spa and he was trying like hell to offend her with insults but they just bounced off of Jen like so many bullets off Superman lol, the woman is unflappable and I admire the shit out of her for remaining that stoic in the face of such abuse.

I hope she goes all the way.

 

[Daryl L]

I totally, completely, entirely, wholly, thoroughly, fully, utterly, absolutely, perfectly, altogether, downright; in every way, in every respect agree with you 100% on both points!

After all he's said/done he still keeps saying he's a good person and has done nothing wrong, but claims SHE's heartless!
