lad756 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Thank you! Well, that puts to rest Jen knowing about Eric. I am always amazed at the theories that are thrown out there and people grab them and run. I never believed that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis_3 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I think it was a cop out that she not say if Dick was punished for his rants and raves. She didn't even say he was warned. IMO, it sends a bad message that eating while on slop will get you a penalty "vote", but verbally abusing HG's, threatening physical violence and stealing belongings will get you stern talking to. No, I'm not hating on Dick, just saying that by not saying how Dick was handled, it looks like they didn't do anything at all. Even Jess joked about getting "lectured". They sound like a bunch of pre-teens with a spanking threat. I would love to submit my resume to have Groder's job, just for one season. This one is too easy and predictable. and no, Nakomis' "six finger plan" was not genius... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktbruin Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I am glad that they are thinking about revamping the POV. It just doesn't seem fair that you can't play for it, yet you could be put up. I have no solutions (except everyone should get to play for it) but they do need to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis_3 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I am glad that they are thinking about revamping the POV. It just doesn't seem fair that you can't play for it, yet you could be put up. I have no solutions (except everyone should get to play for it) but they do need to change it. I like the idea that everyone can play for it, AND someone doesn't automatically get it. No more of the "last man standing" crap. If no one wins outright, no one gets veto (or let America* decide sometimes). i thought Allison's comment that the HOH's mind changes midweek is a load of crapola. Everyone backdoor attempt has been mentioned before the nominations. I would also like to see the comps more Survivor style. Not as much house trivia. I thought the most recent POV was a little tainted. If Eric had the answers in hand instead of the Power of 10 style gear, I wold accept it. But it seemed rigged to me.

WA Mom Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 My two cents worth regarding the Dick/Jen situation in the article: To start with, lets compare apples to apples, not apples to oranges. The first issue - Jen breaking a rule: Alison said Jen is being punished for eating regular food while on slop. No one else in the house has broken a rule. In fact, as has been stated on these boards many times, no one in BB history has done this. The second issue - Being talked to in the DR regarding behavior: The only thing she said about the cigarettes is that cigarettes are personal property and destroying personal property is not allowed. She never said what, if anything, was said to Jen in the DR regarding this. She also didn't say what, if anything, has been said to Dick regarding his verbal tirades. Yes, some people, such as Jess, have commented when they have left the DR about what was said, but, that is the player, not BB or the producers. Like I said, just my two cents worth.

ktbruin Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 About the comps being rigged. I DO NOT believe they are rigged because the law is clear that you cannot deceive the public. (Like some people think that maybe not all of the ping pong balls are in the bag when pov competitors are picked. That would be a clear violation of the law and I'm sure cbs has oversite for this.

jersey721 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 OK, now my two cents. If Dick was warned or lectured, and he keeps the abuse going, a more severe penalty is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmen Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Most of what she said in that article is spin, and I don't believe half that crap. And, of course, another half she doesn't want to talk about so she doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyLynn75 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hahaha!!! Like she's going to say, "Yeah, okay, we do try to sway people with our lines of questioning in the DR, America. We WERE careless and let Jen see the AP card. We let Dick act like he does because it's good for ratings." (Don't misunderstand by thinking I think all of those things happened.) She's a producer. She's not going to spill any harmful truths about her show. Puh-lease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimi Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 If you stand in Jen's shoes, you can see her confusion about the Hit-and-Run nature of the mustard shirt thing and why didn't BB care about that but they cared about the cigs...? blah blah Anyways, the producers of LOST put out a weekly podcast and answer (often tongue-in-cheek) fans questions about the show. It's very cool. There have been SO many questions this season from us that we woulda liked answered. Thx for posting the article 49er miner-niner.

Fatcat Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Perception is EVERYTHING, I read the article and think it covered both Jen and ED and what I think is that yes they both got their warnings and whatever punishment, but somehow it is ALWAYS ED's fault, he never gets the raw end of anything, it is all done around and for him and his daughter.

There have been SO many questions this season from us that we woulda liked answered. Exactly. This season there have been many questions that could have easily been answered without giving away any of the precious secrets. Why she chose to be flip and evasive only makes Big Brother look even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yadayadayada Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Destroying Cigarettes is not allowed but stealing Dustins property and refusing to give it back is allowed. Great rationalizations some people have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Of course stealing and insulting and abusing is OK! It is after all their favorite person on the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yadayadayada Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Jen should have stole dicks clothes and wore them. Let Dick try to rip them off her body and then yell rape. If he continues ask the DR how is it that he can take her clothes but she cant take his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
