Carol - I don't even remember her...seriously
Joe - Should have laid low for awhile, very entertaining, too bad he went that early
Mike - made one of the dumbest moves ever on BB, and deserved to leave for it
Nick - fatal mistake in getting so close to Dani knowing the situation with her bf
Kail - made an alliance way too fast
Dustin - sad to see him go when he did, but wasn't a shock after playing selfishly in the veto comp taking the trip, way too confident volunteering to go up against Dick
Jen - Why was she even there?  To show herself off? Too bad she didnt' go sooner, wasted jury spot for someone that really wanted the experience
Amber - I can only hope she uses her stipend money on a good therapist
Jess - One of my least favs in the beginning that somehow grew to my favorite.  Should have listened to her gut and put up D&D when she had the chance, too trusting.
Eric - AP screwed him, but he also screwed himself with it.  He had tunnel vision instead of planning ahead and getting a feel for what America wanted.  Hello allowing Jess to put up Dustin when he knew he was going to have to vote him out.  Should have convinced her not to put up anyone from their group.
Jameka - why did she want to come on the show if she was going to have such a guilt complex over wanting money and prizes?  That's what the show is about.  Needed to play for herself, never should have gave up those HOHs.
Zach - very confusing.  Wanted to play with honor or whatever, did not use veto to evict Daniele in the fast forward when that would have been the best game move.  Then says he didn't really have a deal with them and nominates them both the next day.

Dani - good competitor, but I cringe at the Janelle comparisons.  I hope she uses her money to get some good family therapy with both her parents.
Dick - laughs at Zach for thinking he was the mastermind of the game, well I have to laugh at Dick thinking he was as well.  If it weren't for AP he would have been the first member of the jury.  I know he's won comps too when it counted, but only cause he was given the chance to stay.  Who knows what other evictees could have done down the stretch too.

I agree with a lot of the synoposis of the players.  Personally I think Eric would have gone a lot sooner if he were not America's Player.  The America's Player was not at all what I thought it would be - just a way to make some extra money for a player.  Lot of sour grapes in the jury house.  They all had a chance to vote the "D's" out if they really wanted to and didn't, even Zach who inferred he had the nerve to do it.

In some of the past finals noone really wanted to vote for either player so why should this be any different.  I think all three played a good game, just that Dick and Dani started playing at the beginning.  I may be in the minority but I am looking to the final show.

[bhazlewood]

What I'm most interested in over the next few days is to see what happens when (a) the thrill of being the final 2 wears off, and (b) there is no common enemy any longer.   How will D&D get along come Sunday or Monday?  Especially if the jury asks questions like "Danielle, what are the worst things you think your dad did while in the house?"

[FNF]

one thing I found interesting while watching House Calls today with Allison Grodner on was about America's Player

He could have at any time refused AP Choice to evict ... but he would have broken his contract and lost all of the money he made as America's Player.

On his final task for voting/campaigning for the AP Choice winner.  He will not make any more money from it but if he refuses to go along then he loses his $40,000 made. 

Overall House Calls was a very good show and cleared up alot of things for me. But one caller asked about the blue ball controversy and the coded letter.  She absolutely passed on the coded letter as if it was never asked and explained that by watching the tape the blue ball did go into Jameka's tube on its own.. as she put it a million to one chance and by timing everything Jameka would have never had a chance to win
What bothered me was Allison would not talk about the coded letter incident.

[Boingo]

  The sequester house update last night had me on the floor.  I couldn't help but notice that NOTHING has changed among the HGs.  Dustin is lording over everyone, and when Jameka showed up, it made his "Gang of Three" complete (Dustin, Amber, Jameka).     Eric & Jess are stuck together like glue, and Jen is all alone (cause they got enough of her in the BB house).    When Zach shows up next they can continue where they left off when they were in the BB house (like nothing ever happened).     Anyone else see the "look" Eric gave the group when they were sitting on the couch vieweing the DVD?  It was priceless.     What a bunch of LOSERS!   

[RealityFreakWill]

Zach will not be going to the jury house. He is being sequestered in a hotel somewhere in LA since the jury is being flown back to LA today or tomorrow to be sequestered at a hotel until the finale on Tuesday.

The jury's questioning of the F2 will be held somewhere at the hotel via satellite tomorrow night.

That is not what Allison said on House Calls today.. She said Zach would arrive at the Jury House then they would watch the tape then have the round table..

Last year it was at the hotel. Janelle never made it to the jury house. We shall see when they show it on Sunday night. We will be able to tell if they are at a hotel or at the jury house.

Thanks for digging that up FormerNickfan. I enjoyed seeing that again, during this quiet time!!

[marigold]

I can understand Dani's "whinning" all the time. I can't imagine being locked up in my home for this long. I'm sure there must be some depression setting in. I mean I can't stand taking my car in for regular maintenance work because I'm stuck in my house for the entire day. I seriously could not take being trapped in the house for this long, not saying she won't recover but still. No car, tv, internet, shopping and running errands 

I think they are handling it as best they can, Congrats Dick and Dani!!

[GrandmawLily]

The tension in the house between Double D is already palpable!

Can you imagine having to spend five days with one one your parents and NO ONE else, when you were 21? 

Before Tuesday's show, I predict that Dick will lay the parental guilt on Dani by saying, "After everything I've done for you...."

I am 24 and if it was my mom it would not be a problem, but if it was my dad it would be hard just because we have a lot of the same character traits, I am basically the female version of him so we would be butting heads from time to time.

I'm 21 and I would love it. Probably not if I had ED as my dad. But my parents are pretty hilarious.

[nanaof4]

I think you are very wrong, there is no way that Dick will compaign against Dani, he will graciously bow out and take home $50,000.  That is my prediction.  I could be wrong though.

[marigold]

I agree, Dick always seemed to be worried about Dani throughout the show, genuinely concerned and willing to leave to save her. Once a parent, always a parent. Not that we don't make mistakes. I think Dick is very happy with what he has accomplished, being final 2.

[carolinadreamer]

Now, it's in the rules that you cannot arrange to 'share' the prize money, right?

So, if Dick were asked by the jury members what he plans to do with the money....is he not allowed to say "I will split it with my children".....or something like that? Hasn't he already said that he would use the money to pay for both Vincent and Dani to return to school? Is that not 'arranging to share the money' with another player? 

Don't get me wrong...I think that he should 100% be allowed to spend the money on his family as he sees fit....but....where is the line drawn as far as 'rules of the game'?

Just sayin'....

[tweedle]

Just curious to know if the money is given to them in one lump sum or if they receive a monthly check?

I think if Dick used some of the money to pay for his kids to go to college, it would be ok because he wouldn't be giving it to them persay but to the college of choice.

[real2us]

Like most, I have a lot to say about each of the HGs but in the spirit of this "exercise", I'll keep it to the first phrase that comes to my mind ...

Carol - didn't learn from her past with Jess
Joe - tried too hard
Mike - confused stupidity with integrity
Nick - didn't think he had to play
Kail - focused more on not revealing who she is
Dustin - over estimates his influence on others
Jen - fears the unknown, fortifies self as a defense
Amber - a statistic
Jess - peer defined
Eric - didn't honor the spirit of AP, thought his plan was better
Jameka - doesn't own her actions, uses God as an excuse
Zach - infomercial

Dani - values her independence
Dick - over bearing, gains confidence through controlling others

[PattyCakes]

I am new to watching Big Brother so closely, usually just watch it on TV when I remember to watch.  I am wondering if it is normal for them to sleep so late.  I am in the west and I am assuming they are in the east.  It is 12:30 here, so 3:30 there and they are just getting up?

[TexasLady]

Welcome to RFF PattyCakes!! 

They seem to turn their sleep habits around 180 in the BB house for some reason. Dick and Dani were up earlier then went back to bed. I think another reason they sleep so much is because it's boring with only 2 people.

Once the winner is given his or her money, BB can't tell them how or who to spend it on. The rule refers to the fact that BB will not allow more than one player to cash in on the grand prize.

Hey guys -- what time will the Jury questions begin. I'm guessing Zach will arrive at sequester AFTER eric gets his orders from America which is probably around 8 30 BB time because he needs to campaign during that round table discussion thing.

Are the feeds going slow for anybody and is everybody else getting a lot of communication errors?
