 Why is Donny so beloved by America? I don't get it.

I understand that he's nice, but that's a terrible trait to have in this game. Nobody wants to take a nice person to the final 2 and lose. Also, he quit his job to be on this show? That seems pretty irresponsible to me. Think about how boring this show would be if everyone was nice like Donny. It would be a total snoozefest.

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

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 ...

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

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

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
