Mendes56 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I wish people wouldn't say "America" want what's best for the Donatos. Not everyone is on that bandwagon. It would just sit better with me if people speak for themselves and say "I" or the majority. Last I checked I was American and I don't want to play the game for D&D. Though I am most likely in the minority I will still voice my independence. Now stepping off my soapbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdukie Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I applaud you Mendes, I am so not on the wagon of D/D. Don't feel alone, but I know how you feel when you read "America" loves D/D ,... not ALL of America does!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I am most likely in the minority I will still voice my independence. Now stepping off my soapbox. You're not in the minority in America, just here. Dick is 44% in popularity, yes, but a lot of those people vote for him because he's entertaining, not because they want to see him win it all. Popularity polls don't mean anything anyway. I only know three people in my entire family and friends who watch BB and while all three of them think Dick is the most entertaining, not a single one of them like Dick in the least. You can think someone is great tv and still not like them. Like I've said a billion times before, go to other websites that I won't name which also have tons of discussion on BB and some of those people HATE, and I mean LOATHE Dick and Danielle. It's all about demographics I think. This boards demographics favor D/D....others favor Jessica/Jen and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVILD1CK Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 In all honesty Eric isn't playing for "America" just the BB8 fans who are voting and just like in elections the Majority wins, so if it's said America wants D&D to win it doesn't mean you or every single American wants them to win just the majority. I can only speak for myself and vote who I want but in the end I want Dick to win the whole thing. So I think when it's said America wants Dick to win or on D&D's side it just means with the polls and how the majority feels not everyone. Your entitled to your opinion just like everyone else it's just saying America is easier to say then the majority of the BB8 fans like D&D due to the polls.

Yana Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 The plain and simple fact is that America spoke... If it wasn't your choice then so be it, it's just like the presidential elections... I can't stand GW, but America spoke and he is president... It's that simple... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for missing my point, but with your screen name I expect you to miss it. I'll say it one more time. Just because Dick has the highest percentage in the popularity poll doesn't mean all those people want him to win. Many of those people vote for him because he's the most entertaining houseguest, not necessarily because they like him as a person or want to see him win 500k. On top of that, the majority of people voted for Bush three years ago. I. Rest. My. Case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVILD1CK Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I agree Yana and that was my thinking when I posted what I did. I don't like Bush and i didn't vote for him but 53 million Americans did so he is my president. People take offence to the term America is on D&D side because they think we are including everyone which we are not we are just saying the majority. I think I could be in the minority in wanting Dick to win the whole thing. I know if I was in the BB8 house I certainly wouldn't be one of those people who hide in a corner and cry because Dick said something. I would find it quite entertaining and if Dick decided to try that stuff with me I would give it back to him. I can't stand these wimps in the house.

I can't stand GW, but America spoke and he is president... It's that simple... What exactly did America speak? Did I miss something? Does the CBS popularity poll even come CLOSE to the amount of people who vote in elections? Does the CBS poll ask a specific question? Are all these people actually saying something? Or....is it just an abstract popularity poll where people vote for different reason? America didn't speak. THAT is the plain and simple fact. A few people on website voted in an abstract poll and for whatever reason, whether it be they genuinely think ED is a nice person, the most entertaining person, or just because everyone else is a twit, he has the highest percentage. We can keep arguing this all day but the simple fact you keep saying "America spoke" is INSULTING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonatosAllTheWay Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I don't think there is any way D/D win the $$$ unless they are both in the finale. They will have either D/D, Zach and possibly amber if against eric, but that is still not all that likely. I just don't see where they get the votes unless they play a really good game or both end up in the finale which is possible if D/D/E/J make it final 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yana Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 America spoke when they told Eric what to do... No I don't think there is anywhere near as many people voting in this poll as the elections, but that was just an example... I understand what you are saying... I don't like to be spoken for either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yath Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 In what school did you graduate, EVILDICK, where 44% is considered a majority Here's how it goes, Xal....44% is the majority of votes, when votes for ALL OTHER CONTESTANTS TOGETHER combine for the remaining 56%.

Marty Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Well the 44% is the highest percentage and I am sure that is what he meant Xal. I know you are angry that Jen might go this week.

EVILD1CK Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I guess you missed my point when I said in an earlier post that when it's said America it means BB8 fans who deicide to vote in polls. Big Brother came up with the phrase "America's Player" we didn't. They didn't give us a vote to which player we wanted to represent us they did so for the context of this season of Big Brother so people don't get offended when the phrase America wants this and America wants that lets just keep in mind it means the votes/polls since we all know everyone has there favorites in the game. Mine happens to be Dick. Others like Eric or someone else which is fine with me. I maybe in the minority in wanting Dick to win the whole thing and I may not be we will never know unless Dick is in the final 2 and we have Eric vote the way the majority wants.

Justin Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Screw this majority crap, I know I'm jumping in late. But I'm in the same boat as Xal, and I'm not leaving him out to dry. Everyone hates me because I enjoy insulting Dick for being such a scrawny wannabe, and Daniele for being such an annoying brat. I don't know how in hell the majority of this lame country likes them, but they do, so oh well. We just don't want to be stuck in the middle of it, we don't vote in favor of them, we actually have a strong hate towards them. So say "most" or say "majority," because I'm sure you'd be just as angry at us for including you in something you aren't in. America doesn't love Dick, 44% of the voters love Dick.

Xal Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 A majority is more than half the vote, or 51% or higher. What he and some of you are talking about is a plurality. You are all free to look it up if you'd like so you don't think I'm making things up. Oh here you go...from dictionary.com "3. Majority, plurality, in the context of an election, poll, or other voting situation resulting in a statistically based statement, both denote an amount or number larger than some other. In situations in which only two candidates, options, or positions are concerned, the terms are interchangeable, though majority is by far the more commonly used: She beat her opponent by a large majority.

Marty Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Sorry if I'm coming off as rude but I'm just sick and tired of people assuming most like Dick.
