WannaBeBB9 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Well from my what I have read so far and the feeds I have watched... I think Dick truly cares about his daughter and just doesn't know how to be her father. I do not like this twist though because the only thing I am intrested in to see is if they work out their issues, if they team up (which btw I think Dick talking trash in the HOH room was a ploy), etc...

yath Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I'm not big on this twist either. But I'm reserving judgment till I see how it plays out--I'm skeptical about a lot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Since Dick was up all night ~ I hope he plans on taking a shower this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranjake Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 as a mom...i gotta agree with bigbrosister. my oldest is 18...the last thing they want/need as adolescents is a "cool"dad/mom/friend. i've seen it backfire so many times. i like dick on other levels...he's very funny/paranoid...but as a potential father...not so much. it would be great if this summer could clarify their relationship.

BrandyM82 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 The Dick vs. his daughter thing hits close to home for many of us parents who have seen what an abandoning parent can do to a child, even as an adult. Dick lives up to his name. She has every right to dislike her father, he hasn't been one to her. Maybe he's been a father or a "friend" to his other kids, big deal. I can't believe everyone likes him after what he's done to her , regardless of how blonde or annoying she might be to some people. Dick has a lot of growing up to do. I mean what the hell, he is forty years old, trying to look 18, with all his tats and piercings, working in a bar and being a 'player'. Grow the f up and be a dad to your daughter. He has f'd her up emotionally and doesn't even care, what a sick bastard. I can't even watch. Do you know what he's done? I don't think any of us know, but you're just assuming that he's a bad person from one episode? Did he explain why they don't talk?? Uh, no. He said he emails her on a regular basis and she never emails back, at least he's putting himself out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait a miniute. I was abandoned by my father as a child but... that does not put all men that don't have realationships with their adult kids as monsters. It appears that he keeps trying to reach out to her. We don't know the story. My boyfriends daughter has chosen not to contact her father for the 3 years. He was a wonderful father and supported her and paid for her college. She has her own issues and we have no idea why she cut him off. You just never know. I say don't condem him yet. He may be a softie and the better person of the two.

Francis_3 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I still think Dick was hitting on one of his daughter's friends. Or maybe he made a comment like, "Your friends are filling out, why haven't you?" Or something that wasn't meant to be hurtful, and at that tender age, exploded into a "never talk to him again" situation. From my experience, truth is 99% perception and 1% intention. My mom said lots of things that bothered me deeply, afters years of stewing, I finally told her. She had NO idea I had taken what she had said the way i did. Had she known, she would have never said it. I think Dick is ok week 1. I'm interested to watch Dick & Kail, there just seems to be a shouting match in the near future.

Justin Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I think Dick seems like a really cool guy to be around. He might be not be the best father, but from the sound of it he's tried. He's just not a father type I guess, some aren't. I won't ever put it against him for sure, and I hope this show brings them closer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerSnaps Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 We don't know what kind of father he was or is. We may never know...I'm not a big fan of Dick (the hg) but we need to cut him some slack until we get the whole story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methos Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 We don't know what kind of father he was or is. We may never know...I'm not a big fan of Dick (the hg) but we need to cut him some slack until we get the whole story. Absolutely correct, Ginger....All we know about him is what we have briefly seen....And based only what I have seen so far, I do not like the guy.

shelldrake111 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 *sigh* Yep,..I like him. It's a problem I have. I seem to seek out the strangest people and befriend them and then spend all my time trying to figure out how I got into a mess with them and their drama!LOL I dunno,..it's too early for me as far as who I like and don't,..but I'd have to say I think I am gonna like this guy as long as he's there.

April Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I definitely think that like him or not, he is going to add a VERY interesting spin to the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methos Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I definitely think that like him or not, he is going to add a VERY interesting spin to the house. Yeah, I think you are right...Even though I don't particularly like him, I do agree that he could definitely make things interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElisabethF50 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 So far, and with not much to go on, he's my favorite, don't have much time to watch the feeds during the day and I'm up really late so he's pretty much the only one I've watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikede Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Whose to say its Dicks fault?? Didnt he say he tried to contact her and write letters, and she wouldnt respond? Yu can only try so many times. And this is coming from a guy (me) who hasnt talked to his real dad in 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElisabethF50 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Really, I may not like Jen but at least I'm not calling her names like some are calling Dick. It's sad, we don't even know them, no one knows whose fault it was. Hell, for all we know, they could be close and it's all an act and they'll reveal it soon. We don't know, so there's no need to attack him about his relationship with his daughter which we know NOTHING about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfRealityTV Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 so there's no need to attack him about his relationship with his daughter Exactly!!! All the hate should be focused on the daughter who is shutting out her Dad all while playing the whiny victim... He's making an effort!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickpea Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I'm rooting for him. Sick of the young, good looking, athletic, and now gay houseguests. He's the odd man out...I like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna7 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I was totally surprised by Dick. First impressions were not very good, but after listening to him after hours, he's pretty bright and entertaining. Hope he stays for several weeks. PLEASE KEEP HIM OR THE SHOW WILL BE A TOTAL FAILURE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikede Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 yeah, his daughter should definatly go first. She is painfully thin to look at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElleNaturelle Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 He's a concerned dad. I love when he just told Dustin to go make sure Danielle gets enough to eat. Awww!! Okay, right there, he just won me over! I knew he would be mushy on the inside!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Same here Elle, he really cares about her. He's just not the dad type of person, he was probably trying his hardest, but made a wrong move or something of that nature. He really does care, he said he's tried to contact her in the last two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
