I WAS SO GLAD TO SEE DUSTIN GO. AMBER IS NEXT
THEN JAMEAK. I HOPE. BY BARBARA.

MrTNT-

Eric is most definitely playing Jessica. I think he likes her, but I think he is putting the game first. She has been seen to be easily manipulated as evidenced by Jen casting doubt in her with Dustin. Fortunately for Eric, this worked to his advantage because it didn't take much for him to convincer her to go along with him booting Dustin out.

Then by the grace of God, Dick came to him to appeal to his sense of gameplay to have a secret alliance with him, since Danielle will stick with Dick and Jesse will stick with Eric. Since Eric was voting Dustin out anyway, why not make it look like Dick talked him into it? I don't watch the live feeds, but I am assuming Eric is letting Jessica know that he and Dick have an informal alliance for now.


Ice Daddy-

I don't see where in the rules it states that one is automatically removed from the house for hiding an arrest record. I would think that it would be up to the discretion of the producers. It was quite obvious that Justin was evicted because he actually held a knife to someones throat on camera. The producers had no other choice, because if they let it slide and something happened later on, they would be liable.

Why would something happen 6 years later to Dick? He only poured the iced tea on Jen a couple of weeks ago. Also, pouring of iced tea on someone hardly qualifies as assault, especially since Jen wasn't pressing charges.

Despite all this, where is there evidence in your post that there was a fix? In BB2 Mike was booted halfway through and Krista didn't make it to the end.

Thank you LC for providing that bit of information regarding Julie and Marcellus.

Concerning the Eric/Evil alliance discussion, I have no problem accepting that position. I can certainly see both players playing each other. Accepting that then leads to the conclusion that Eric played Jessica when he turned her against the LNC. I'm assuming you would contend that he did that to ensure her vote to evict Dustin in the event the voting ended in a 3-3 tie. This would off course place Eric at a level of gamesmanship not found in your typical houseguest (and I can accept that proposition also). But what about Jessica? Does she now believe she's in a secret alliance with D & D and Eric, but they don't? Can Evil exploit this effectively? It probably doesn't matter because I believe Zach and Jen have both seen the benefit of backing D & D at this point in time. But Evil is compulsive, to say the least.

Finally, maybe I missed it in your ramblings, Ice, but exactly how is the game rigged and how is it fixed? Are you saying that CBS already has determined who the winner is and the 'voters' are merely repeating scripted statements and voting according to CBS' instructions? If so, you've gotta be kidding.

The "game" is rigged and the "fix" in one. Here's why!

Think back to Big Brother 2. Do you remember Mike "Carri" aka Mike Mallin? Do you recall Krista Stegall? Do you remember Justin 'stab you' Stebik? Now, think real hard about a KNIFE INCIDENT. The lights are on now, aren't they boys and girls?

Okay, think back a couple weeks in Big Brother 8. Remember when Doofus Dick 'poured' ice tea on Junky Jenn? Yes you do boys and girls, right?

Well, when Mike "Carri" aka Mike "Mallin" wasn't booted for HIDING his arrest record, while Justin Stebik was immediately removed for "playing" with a knife; and Doofus Dick was NOT even chastised publicly, was he? Six short years later, NOTHING has PUBLICLY happened to Doofus Dick. Why?

The "fix" folks. Doofus Dick and Junky Jenn are on on the "fix", alomng with the crooked producers.

This "game" is more crooked than an NBA ref, a mile of bad road, or the WWE (which is more amusing that BB). Hell, its more crooked than MLB and steroids. But, I digress.

Big Brother 2 house guest Krista Stegall sued CBS seeking damages because, as her lawyer says, CBS “placed all of the house guests, including Krista, in danger” by failing to thoroughly check Justin’s background.

Justin Sebik was expelled from the house when, early on July 11, 2001, in between kissing her, held a knife to Krista’s throat and asked, “Would you get mad if I killed you?” Later, it was discovered that he had an arrest record.

Following her eviction, Krista (who had also lied about her background), said in an interview with the New York Daily News, “I didn’t think of Justin as threatening at all. I honestly don’t even remember him holding a knife to my neck. Maybe I had my eyes closed when he did it. But if he did that, I’m sure he never intended to harm me.” Krista’s suit seeks “damages for negligence on the part of CBS and the producers, pain and suffering, mental anguish, medical bills, mental impairment and loss of enjoyment of life,” the paper reports.

I thought Ivette taking Maggie instead of Janelle was the most idiotic move.

Shannon-

Amber was a blubbering mess as usual, so maybe she didn't hear Julie, but is her daughter 5? I tried finding info on the BB CBS page, but couldn't find it. Maybe Julie goofed on the age. Either that or Amber is more messed up than she looks.

To add to that MrTNT, Julie also whacked Marcellas on the head with an interview book. You are correct, it was the dumbest move and is the litmus test for all dumb moves.


I disagree though on Dick playing Eric though. I don't think Eric fell for it, as I think he is too smart to trust him. I think he felt something good fell into his lap because he was bound by America's vote to boot Dustin, so why not pretend to make it look like he voted him out because of Dick's proposal? He was able to turn a lemon into lemonade.

DId anyone else realize that julie said "amber do you want to say anything to your 5 yr old daughter? and amber said something along the lines of ...i love you ..blah blah blah...i know your going to start the 3rd grade on monday...blah blah blah. UGH 5 yr olds dont start 3rd grade on anyday of the week. ?? hmm anyone else catch that??

I believe this was Marcellus' mistake: With 4 remaining houseguests, Marcellus was on the block and won the POV. He could have saved himself but instead believed that his friend Amy wouldn't vote him out. Woops! Amy, who already had screwed another by reneging on a promise screwed Marcellus too and he was evicted. As he left the house he yelled,"Argh" and Julie's first words were classic, "What were you thinking?!" In my opinion, and contrary to Evil's, this was by far the biggest mistake ever made because there was so much at stake at the time.
This season appears to be the season of endless mistakes; one bonehead mistake after another.
If D & D don't backdoor Eric this week, then the mistakes continue. This one's a no-brainer. They know Eric's the liar and they know as long as he's around Jessica is putty in his hand. Evil played him perfectly with that alliance bullshit and now's the time to end his tenure as America's Player. Hasta la vista, baby!

Can tell someone tell me what the infamous Marcellas move was? That was the one summer I was on vacation and didn't have access to TV.

What dumb move did he do?
