IMO anything Eric said or did paled in comparison to the threats of physical violence and constant taunts that the HG's had to endure from Dick. Anytime something did not go his or Daniele's way he found it necessary to bully other HG's.
I disagree. Eric's comments were just as vile as anything Dick said.
And Dick's gameplan was to go into the house and bully/intimidate people....it had nothing to do with anything that did not go his or Daniele's way.
It was Dick's choice to play the game that way. He will have to live with that decision.
If it had nothing to do with things going or not going his way then why didn't he bully people when he and Daniele were in charge. Anytime they had the upper hand they were all smiles and jokes but when things went the other way he started his bullying and she started her whining. And I find it sickening how Daniele talks about how she cannot stand to be around Zach. But if I remember correctly she had no problem constantly being in his HOH room and kissing his butt when he was HOH the first time.
Prior to every POV and most HOH competitions, Dick would target someone to go off on. It didn't matter whether, as you put it, Double D was "in charge."
From the very beginning, that is how Dick has played the game....rattle your target, right before the comps, so they do poorly.
I expect to see Dick go off on Zack today, right before the live show/comps, to try to psych him out.
THAT is Dick's game.
Then what is his excuse for blowing smoke in Jen's face and burning her with a cigarette. Everyone already knew she was gone but he found it necessary to torment her. She was outside eating. He came outside, sat down beside her and blew smoke in her face on purpose. When she tried to grab for the cigarette, which I admit was not smart, he blatantly jabbed the cigarette into her hand to burn her. There was no competition to try to "rattle" her about.
Well, you can see it that way if you want.....but where is the escalation of events that led up to that?
Jen flips out because she knows she's going home.....says she's not going to sequester unless BB gives her "stuff".....takes four cartons of Dick's smokes (personal property) and blantantly destroys them....decides she will eat, even though SHE won the POV in which she agreed to go on slop for 30 days.....and not only eat, but ate in front of Jameka who was also on slop....
Comes out all arrogant eating her turkey burger, with her little smirk on her face....
Dick does the same....goes inside....BB says they will replace his smokes....and he's all hahahaha, BB said they will give me my smokes back.
Yes, he blew smoke in her face....not once, but twice I believe. Was that right? No! Absolutely not!
Jen was an idiot for going after a lighted cigarette. I saw the video too, and "if" she got burned, she did it to herself. (I also remember Jen in the bathroom wiping off a black mark from her hand, but no burn) It also doesn't excuse Jen for physically attacking Dick by slapping him, which she did more than once during that "event."
I thought Dick showed remarkable restraint, by not slapping Jen back.
