Big Brother Craze

Here we go, guys, still MORE on the interview circuit, including one that I’ve decided is my ultimate favorite D/D interview yet…. mainly because they seem to get so uptight about being asked some questions. Heh.

Mid Season Replacements Interviews D/D

Dick: Not after the questions were asked. I think the jury questions were asked to us on Saturday night and just the tone and how personal it was. Things like Amber’s attack on my daughter, and because of what a “good person” Amber is…

Daniele: And we all know she’s a “good person”.

Dick:After hearing that, and we did not know anything about the anti-Semitic remarks she made. We were informed outside of the house. But, some people get what they deserve.

EdHill:You were a pretty controversial figure yourself all season long. Looking back do you have any regrets on how you played the game?

Dick:I won. I really [don’t think I’d] change anything whatsoever. What I call the ripple effect and what Daniele calls the butterfly effect. You change one thing and it can change everything.
So do I have any regrets? As far as I know, I didn’t fabricate anything, I didn’t lie about anything. I said things that people are afraid to say. Calling people hypocrites.

EdHill:But when it comes to that, you can’t play this game and not be a hypocrite at some point. I mean, you guys lied to Eric and Jess to get rid of them.

Laramy’s (real.com) interviews right after the finale:

It was like a freak show - RNO w/Zach

RNO: You mentioned that it would have been a 6-1 vote, but it likely would have been 5-2 due to America’s Player. Overall, what did you think of the America’s Player twist?

Zach: Eric is a funny character. His humor is definitely something that helped pass a lot of time in the house. I knew something wasn’t right with him, but couldn’t put my finger on it. I never would have guessed the America’s Player twist. It was an incredible twist on the game. I knew there was something shady but couldn’t figure out what it was. I couldn’t really resolve anything. I think it was a cool little twist. He prevailed pretty well, he did a good job.

God Ordains Different Things - RNO w/Jameka

RNO: You probably haven’t had a chance to see anything yet, but your religious beliefs were featured quite a bit on TV. One thing you said many times was that you believed the results of Big Brother were pre-ordained by God. With that in mind, why do you believe you were evicted when you were?

Jameka: I still have not come up with a concrete reason as to why I was evicted. I feel I played the best game I could have played. I don’t know if you all saw it when I was a little overboard. I wanted them to not typecast me and I was concerned they were trying to make me into this person and only cater to these areas that were Biblical. I hope they got the other stuff and did not confine me to this one person. When I clapped my hands at Dick, I couldn’t contain my anger at that point.

And the one we’ve all been waiting for, but unfortunately it just doesn’t do good enough…

It was just me being me - RNO w/Amber

RNO: Is there anything else you want to tell us about your time in the Big Brother house?

Amber: I do – two things. First, my crying. Everybody looks at me and laughs because I cry so much. But they portrayed me crying all the time. I spoke to my family [about what was shown on TV]. Yes I did cry a lot, but they didn’t show my fun side, my laughing side. It’s very embarrassing. I’m proud that I cry but my daughter was watching and it offends me that they only showed me crying. I had so many times in the house when I didn’t cry, they really showed my character not to be me and that really bothers me.

[The second thing is] I made a comment when I was upset with Eric – I made it about Jewish people and people from New York. I just want to tell the people I offended that I am very sorry. I did not mean to offend anybody and I was upset with Eric at the time. Being upset, people tend to say things they don’t mean. That came from a really bad place, and from the bottom of my heart, I am truly sorry – I send my apologies to anyone I offended. I don’t like to hurt people’s feelings. The words just came out and I was upset with Eric. I have friends that are Jewish and friends from New York. I am not prejudiced and I am truly truly truly sorry.

OK - I can’t let that last one go by without saying something - and well, loudly calling BULLSHIT. Those comments were made BEFORE she got upset with Eric about the whole secret that she told the whole world business. Those comments included the statements that she learned these things from her mother and sister who feel the same way. Sorry Amber - apology NOT accepted. Someone set this wackjob straight? PLEASE?

Ok - After the cut! Zach and Eric on Housecalls! Whoo!

Eric handled himself really well, and the question was sort of slid in there offhand about things said in the game - he makes no apologies for gameplay, and if Dick doesn’t feel the need too, he’d be as hypocritical as he accused everyone else of being if he expects Eric too.

Just in case anyone’s forgotten the timeline of the infamous incest comments. It stemmed from a joke made that Dick/Daniele were the twist, and were really married - a story concocted and started by AMBER, with aid from DUSTIN, and then carried on by Eric. There’s not a one of us ALIVE that has not said something, upped the ante so to speak, in a conversation where we’re trying to remain part of a ‘group’. Also? Here’s a clip from when Mike was still in the house - and a joke was made by Dick to/with Eric about Nick’s inviting him and Daniele both to shower with him, and comments were made of a threesome. Daniele had gotten bent out of shape, and I quote Dick “It was a joke!”

Seems that it goes back even farther - and really, Dick was there at the start of it, instigating it in part. Time to put away your mad and get glad again, boys! Dick, accept that America via Eric helped you win, Eric apologize, and both have a damn beer and tell the haters to move the heck on.

And that’s THAT. /rant
