I didn't find it odd at all. Let's hypothetically say one of Dick's friends attempted suicide or almost OD'ed, whatever...and their name was mentioned... out of respect to them, and I suspect for confidentiality reasons, CBS wouldn't have the right to mention that person. I think too out of pure dignity for the situation at hand, it's none of our business to know. Let's be real, we're just the audience... these houseguests are like entertainment. If it's a real life issue for them, then that's something we don't need to know about. It's outside of the house, their personal life. The girls being sick was different. The girls were inside the house at the time. We saw them on feeds get sick. We're not watching Dick's life outside the house, nor do we know his friends etc. Who he is outside the house I imagine is completely different to the Dick we see when he's playing a competitive game. As for this being some sort of a stunt... really? Really ppl??? Dick wouldn't be Dick if he didn't stay in the house for as long as he did the first time around. We wouldn't even know who the guy was or care to. A publicity stunt would have been staying in the house for as long as he could, creating as much shit and drama as he could, and being even more bad ass than ever. THAT would get ppl talking and do more for his site than anything.
