Unless there is a monetary reason to do so, I don't see Eric pushing too hard if he has to argue for a Dick win. Is there an additional reward for the
final vote, because I think he wasn't within one of another 5K. So, if that is the case I can see him going thru the motions but not doing so
aggressively. Amber will vote however Dustin does and judging by the sequester footage, he doesn't want a Donato to win. I don't think Jessica would
be swayed by Eric either. She saw what it got her, and she is probably bitter that they didn't tell her that she was leaving. Jen definitely won't
vote for either unless they are up against each other. I think the only way Dick would win is if Daniele is on the jury and Eric makes a strong, convincing
case that sways Dustin, who would bring Amber along.

Moviegirl, Zach did make a mistake in not getting rid of Dani at F5. But if his plan was to get rid of a D at F4, he should have hedged his bets until the POV
comp was over. If D or D wins POV, then Zach says "great, we all make F3". If Z or J wins POV, then Zach makes his move, and his hands are clean if
Jameka wins POV on her own to save herself. Zach would have been F2 with no dirty hands if J wins POV, as J or D take Zach to F2, with the remaining D voting
for Zach to win over J.
Instead, Zach showed his intentions too needlessly early and had to undergo the unsurprising rants from Dick and lose both D votes in a F2 against J. That is why Zach made a HUGE mistake.
THF, I agree that Dick is an asshole. But part of it was strategy too.

There is no chance in hell they would have taken him to the F2 and even if he did piss them off he wasn't going to get their vote if the other made it to the F2 with him and neither are dumb enough to vote for Jameka in the end since Zach would have been the only one smart enough to take them out. It was his last chance to get rid of them and Jameka was his only hope of winning, he wasn't just humouring her. |

Oowatanite wrote: Yeah but what I'm asking, is what is the difference? How does Dick/Daniele knowing Zach's true intentions change anyone's game in the final
three? Him being able to say "yay, we all made the final 3!" isnt going to have ANY effect on D/D's decision to evict him if/when one of them
gets the last HoH so what's the point of pretense?
Here's how it breaks down. Zach wins HoH: He puts up Dick/Jameka or Daniele/Jameka. No one is surprised. Jameka thinks "well you never liked me anyway so what do you care?" and Dick/Daniele think "well you had no choice either way so whatever, but we'll win the Veto to keep it from Jameka and vote her ass out" OR He puts up Dick/Daniele. Dick/Daniele throw some tantrums in front and behind his back. They dont understand why he'd betray him blah blah blah. Meanwhile Jameka's like "wow, thanks for giving me a chance, maybe I'll return the favor if I make it through this week" and D/D think "well we better win the Veto and vote Jameka's ass out." Either way, Zach's still in the final three, either against Jameka and a Donato or against both Donatos. In the latter scenario, they're both gunning for his eviction where as in the former scenario, he's probably locked the final two (Jameka would take him over a donato and the donatos would take him over Jameka). So either way he sliced it, D/D were going to fight for the Veto. Only by NOT nominating Jameka, he was able to win her over a little bit so that if she stayed, she'd consider taking him to final 2 and if she left, she'd consider supporting him if he makes it to the final 2. Pissing the Donatos off had absolutely zero effect on any outcome. There was no (logical) reason not to put both of them up and try to get one of them out.

Regarding Dick's statement that Zach should have stuck to just strategy as a reason, I thought I remembered reading or hearing Zach saying something about
them (BB) wanting his nom speech longer. So maybe he wanted it short and sweet but had to puff it out.

I imagine the DR does tell them to make the nomination speech long and to do something with it. They need an episode and always the first part of final four
episode is about nothing and something needs to be made out of it -but the emperor has no clothes.
Even Janelle's DR's and voiceovers in season six were forced into sound bytes. yet at the same time, people don't get it -Maggie and Ivette were scared as hell over the final four nominations thinking April was making a deal with Janelle when none of it matters. |

If Zach holds off the betrayal, he has a good chance of Jameka saving herself with POV resulting in a D vote for Zach against Jameka in the F2. And if a D goes at F4 due to Jameka's POV win, then Zach is F2 with clean hands, since J and the remaining D will take him there. Zach made his move too needlessly early. Period. End of Story. |

his worries considering Jameka would most certainly have Eric, Jessica, Dustin, Amber and probably Jen. In his situation, GETTING to the final 2 had to come
before ass-kissing for votes.

At the end of the day it all comes down to a question of maturity. Will the hampster jurors go with who out played them or will they go with who didn't
piss them off so much? My money is on "whoever was the least offensive to them", although I would love an Evel Dick win. The guy played a hard, in
your face game and was probably the most entertaining hampster BB has ever seen. He was not, however, very politically correct and that will likely hurt him
bad.

And Dick's rants are just part of his "strategy", as mean as it is. If I have to read this drivel one more time, I think my head is going to explode. Dick's rants TO THE CAMERA late at night when HE IS ALONE about snapping necks and other violent imagery, are not for strategy, you complete morons, they are a reflection of his vile personality. What part of his friend's saying, 'he is known for this behavior in his real life' do you not get???????

oh that's right... he isn't a 'good' person. I can't believe they even cast 'mean' 'bad' people on Big Brother... and give
them the chance to win money.

I don't understand how the jury couldn't be justified in not giving Dick their vote.
Dustin - Dick made homophobic slurs at him, why should he support that? Amber - Dick ridiculed her constantly, insulted her daughter, wished death on her. Why does he deserve her vote? Jessica - Dick majorly betrayed her, not just by voting her out, but lying about it. Why should she vote for him? Jen - uh, do I even need to make a comment? Bam, 4 votes people. |

My point is that he should have waited until the POV comp was finished. He made his move too soon. And Zach started ass-kissing Jameka for her vote right after he won F4 HoH. |

It's annoying but it happens.

I want to see a Dick/Zach F2 because it will make for a more entertaining jury presentation. If it's D & D, Dick will say, "vote for Dani."
No fireworks at all.
But if it's Dick and Zach, Dick will have to decide whether to play nice or nasty. And I don't see Dick being nice if it's only his ass on the line. Nasty would be Dick saying, "listen, you motherfuckers . . . " and telling the jury why they'll suck if they vote for Zach to win. That I would want to see. |
