Yeah if you watch the livefeeds you really do get a much better sense of the game that each person is really playing as opposed to what CBS chooses to show you when they edit everything.

They have been very nice in showing Daniele for instance - her constant whining online is enough to make you want to turn things off, especially when you get the really strong idea that she'd like to win the prize and will walk away from her Dad (who honestly has done a lot for her in the game by way of trying to protect her, even getting her off the block when, as far as he knew, he was guaranteed to be going home) without a backward glance.

Overall tho the edits do tend to reflect what the person is like in reality, they just play up some of their traits to exagerrate them (altho when they showed how stupid Amber is, that was stone cold truth....). What I find you don't get with the show is context to wrap around the clips you are fed by the producers.

Fred I do agree with you that those stats may be a bit misleading. I hate Danielle also, I cannot stand her at all. The only one more annoying then her was Amber.

I really do hope Zach wins.

Ice · 09-13-2007, 06:06 PM

Danielle is horrible, I can't stand her. I guarantee she has nothing to do with her dad after this show is over. She is one of the most selfish people on the planet.

I find myself in the crazy position of rooting for Zack.

I'm pissed!!!

I think it's not a spoiler anymore since the show is over

I hate the Donatos!!!

beachy · 09-13-2007, 09:45 PM

I am happy with the outcome of tonight's show.
The Donatos were WAY stronger players than Zach - IMO they deserved it.

The jury house is going to be pissed

I second that, Donatos were the best players....

Pretty amazing that a father/daughter team, and they teamed up pretty early...can make it to the end with the tactics they used. Brilliant, actually. Im impressed.

Dick should win.

Slava · 09-13-2007, 10:10 PM

I can't say that I'm watching the finale. I don't really care who wins out of these two...

tkflames · 09-13-2007, 10:28 PM

There is no point to a finalle since the two of them have agreed to split 50/50. Now its just a matter of how it goes down in the record books.

albertGQ · 09-13-2007, 10:31 PM

I'll watch the finale only to see everyone's faces when they find out that Eric is America's player.

Is Sunday one of those re-runs where they just recap the season?

I believe it is against the rules to make any such arrangement with the money. I could be wrong...just going off memory.

During Big Brother 9, there will be a Where Are They Now? filler segment that highlights, among others, the Donatos. Neither will be speaking to the other. Despite Dick's intentions, the pair went their separate ways after the show owing in large part to their squabbles over money. Though both could clearly be heard promising to split the winnings evenly, Daniele's reluctance to follow through prompted the pair to spend much of their winnings financing a lawsuit over the proper division of the booty.

Oh, and Jessica dumped Eric four days after leaving sequester.

Slut!

HelloHockeyFans · 09-13-2007, 11:48 PM

Yes!! I don't care who wins now since it's my two favourite players!

Is this true? I also commented last night that I don't see Daniele sharing much of the winnings (if any) with Dick if she should win.

Barnes · 09-14-2007, 09:13 AM

This season, the producers put in the house probably the worst players in the history of big brother. In any other season, one of the donatos would have been voted out right of the bat.

Will Mega would have walked all over these people.

I guess that's what you get by casting from the survivor reject pile.

Superflyer · 09-14-2007, 10:14 AM

I think that Dick should have been kicked out of the house long ago. Not by the house guests but by CBS. In previous years they have kicked people out for saying threatning things and he crossed that long ago. Mainly with Jen, threatning to anal rape her till she bled to death, burning her with his cigarette. He should have been gone. But of couse he brought in the ratings so they can't get rid of him.

My 2 cents anyways.

albertGQ · 09-14-2007, 10:21 AM

Also the iced tea on her head

fredr123 · 09-14-2007, 10:37 AM

Agree. This batch of house guests gets an overall grade of C- (that might be a bit generous). Outside of Dick and Daniele I can't think of one player who could have competed with the group from the last couple seasons. This, I think, makes Dick and Daniele look better than they probably are. No doubt they're good players but they're both like the hot chick who keeps a stable of ugly friends to look better by comparison.

Things got pretty tense between a lot of the houseguests in season 6. Recal Cappy and... Kaysar's secret partner (whoever he was) going toe to toe. Kaysar went nose to nose with a female player. And of course Howie and Busto. At one point, if memory serves, they were all separated and told individually to cool it. Tossing furniture used to be enough to get you tossed too. Guess the standards are different now.

Arguably Eric, on his own, I think could have played a better game. He knew the game, and played as well as he could have given his handicap. I think he'd play a much smarter game without the handcuffs of America's Player.
