xx * He was the underdog people were rooting for and with whom many could identify. He shed tears, and many did right with him. He was a real mensch! NT

xx * I didn't get it either...he was nice and funny as an individual...but no "gamer" could respect his game...i had hopes for him in the end..

xx * Here's the thing...there are many like me who watch for the social experiment that BB started out as. The constant game talk drives me up a wall.

xx * Yet, Donnie had Derrick figured out perfectly & Derrick was scared to death of him & would stop at nothing until he was gone. TA be dawmed ! NT
starrynite
09/17/14 02:20 PM
xx * So what if he figured out Derrick? Doesn't matter if he's unwilling to try to do something about it...He could have "tried"...he waited too long... NT
Evil_TX_Redhead
09/17/14 02:44 PM
xx * He did try, but no one wanted to rock the boat. NT

09/18/14 05:15 AM
xx * Well, the others never figured him out because they were too dimwitted & easily manipulated. Donnie is only one smart enough. NT
starrynite
09/17/14 02:53 PM
xx * Once again...that statement validates our point that he's not BB material...he had things figured out but didn't try to do anything about it... NT

xx * I think most would agree that even if Donnie nominated Derrick every week unless a couple of others stopped being led by the nose, Donnie ...
starrynite
09/17/14 03:22 PM
xx * I disagree that everyone was a dumb as you keep saying...mob mentality, YES...not so much dumb though... NT

xx * Name me one other season of HGs that would fall for Derrick BS & police tactics. You may find one or two from any season but not the whole house. NT
starrynite
09/17/14 03:59 PM
xx * They're not "police tactics", unless you're counting hiding who they really are which 5-6 HGs do every year. And most seasons since S6
JAF
09/17/14 05:57 PM
xx * Guess you never saw some of the beat downs he gave to a few of the HGs that dared to have a thought of they're own. Victoria more than others. If I..
starrynite
09/17/14 06:36 PM
xx * Beat downs? He physically beat someone? Or he verbally convinced them (i.e. the point of the game)? NT
JAF
09/17/14 08:54 PM
xx * I never considered any of his convos as a "beat down". I never saw him get verbally abusive or negativly aggressive...But that can be subjective... NT

09/19/14 12:11 PM
xx * Oh Geez ! LOL NT
starrynite
09/18/14 03:47 AM
xx * Donny couldn't even nominate Derrick, since he never won an HOH comp, or never formed an alliance that he could count on to
JAF
09/17/14 03:44 PM
xx * How do you think he got his letters from home if hdnev err one an HOH? NT
Caramel
09/17/14 04:22 PM
xx * They all got a letter from home that week. That's why everyone was crying just before Donny's eviction. NT
JAF
09/17/14 05:21 PM
xx * He got his letter for winning HOH NT
starrynite
09/17/14 06:26 PM
xx * They get one for winning the preliminary HOH comp, that's true. But only the real HOH (i.e. the one that survives BOB) has nominees
JAF
09/17/14 08:59 PM
xx * Yes, he did win an HOH & he pretty much had to save himself every week. LOL Plus the huge alliance had already formed to advance Derrick to the end.
starrynite
09/17/14 03:54 PM
xx * No, he didn't. Not a full HOH where him nom's stuck. The HOH's are in purple:
JAF
09/17/14 05:28 PM
xx * No matter what anybody outside that alliance did, it was null and void, because they bad the votes to control the house. NT
Caramel
09/17/14 04:24 PM
xx * Because he was loyal to TA & was hoping Derrick would be as well. But derrick was too busy scolding his allies like they were low life criminals. NT
starrynite
09/17/14 01:45 PM
xx * And with whom would he have made this "big move" you speak about with?
Harper_Lee
09/17/14 11:37 AM
xx * Donny's main alliance was TA b/c that one was made for him...he didn't have the social capacity to make one on his own...that was the problem I had NT
Evil_TX_Redhead
09/17/14 02:42 PM
xx * "Social Capacity???" Haha. Wow. That's why every person evicted up until Nicole said Donny was their Favorite person. Sooooo, yeah. NT
Harper_Lee
09/17/14 03:28 PM
xx * Oh my...I've already said he was likable..that is OBVIOUSLY not what i meant about "social capacity"...I was referencing the alliance aspect... NT
Evil_TX_Redhead
09/17/14 03:59 PM
xx * That's not quite the term I'd use for it, but even Donny admitted he wasn't exactly a social butterfly with these people.
JAF
09/17/14 03:38 PM
xx * Taht's what i meant by "social capacity" this game has 3 levels: social, mental, and physical...I conceded "capacity" was wrong word.. NT
Evil_TX_Redhead
09/17/14 04:05 PM
xx * Exactly & BB/producers knew Donnie would be more loyal to TA than Derrick would ever be & that's why they gave it to Derrick. The public didn't vote
starrynite
09/17/14 01:57 PM
xx * Absolutely true...no one voted for the three TA members.. NT
rodh
09/17/14 09:27 PM
xx * I don't believe that. NT
JAF
09/17/14 03:17 PM
xx * I don't either, but I try not to feed into conspiracy theories NT
Evil_TX_Redhead
09/17/14 04:02 PM
xx * I really don't care if anyone believes it or not the fact remains that TA hindered Donnie's game. NT
starrynite
09/17/14 05:01 PM
xx * It might have. Hard to tell what would have happened otherwise. I tend to think it helped him get as far as it did. NT
JAF
09/17/14 05:59 PM
xx * He isolated himself so much, always leaving to cry under his covers and saying "oh why am I so alone?". He basically doomed himself.
Nomajority
09/17/14 12:15 PM
xx * Right. He was alone b/c he wanted to be. He said multiple times on feeds he didn't have an "alliance" and he didn't want one...he had "friendships" NT
Evil_TX_Redhead
09/17/14 02:51 PM
xx * He didn't TAKE the chance to do anything. Subtle but important difference. Derrick & Co TOOK the chance to form an alliance to get them deep
JAF
09/17/14 11:47 AM
xx * Yeah, I liked him too...as a person...but he reminds me a lot of Kaysar...great person, but HORRIBLE BB player... NT
Evil_TX_Redhead
09/17/14 02:46 PM
xx * I understand what y'all are saying, but, that's my point: With whom would he have "taken that chance" with??
Harper_Lee
09/17/14 02:29 PM
xx * Agreed that Derrick was a much better player. And since his alliance formed almost immediately, Donny would have either had to act faster or
JAF
09/17/14 03:15 PM
xx * ANYONE...just TRY...otherwise, why didn't he just go home? Instead he helped send home people who would have put forth an effort... NT
Evil_TX_Redhead
09/17/14 02:47 PM
xx * Please read my entire response because I answer that question. NT
Harper_Lee
09/17/14 02:52 PM
xx * I did read it and just re-read it...my statement/question still stands...why not just go home if you've already given up... NT
Evil_TX_Redhead
09/17/14 03:00 PM
xx * Then I'm confused. Because, if you read it, then you have your answer. NT
Harper_Lee
09/17/14 06:29 PM
xx * This was a season of no gamers though....why single out Donny? If it was even close to a level playing field he mighta done pretty well. NT
BeBeeGun
09/17/14 04:06 AM
xx * Not sure I get the "level playing field" comment. He could have tried to form a big alliance just like Derrick & Co did. He didn't, so he lost.
JAF
09/17/14 09:07 AM
xx * Hey I hear ya,but there was only one Donny and this season was an unbearable snoozefest in spite of him.
BeBeeGun
09/17/14 03:00 AM
xx * I agree with this post 100% NT
