'Big Brother' supposed best-of

I'm watching the Big Brother 8 highlights show, and I'm just over it.

Dick and Daniele are reliving the supposed best moments of the show, and it's just a reiteration of how messed up this season has been.

And I hate watching Dick laugh about the cigarette incident -- when he was intentionally trying to burn Jen while she tried to get him to stop blowing smoke in her face. People have been kicked off the show for less than that. (And I've heard he said unprintable, vile things to her that weren't shown on TV.)

One funny thing: Toward the end, Dick says that they couldn't have made it to the end without each other, and Daniele has this look on her face like, "Not so sure about that one, dude."

Tuesday, we'll see who wins. Like I said before, I think the most interesting thing is going to be the reaction to the America's Player twist.

I stopped watching but I just want to confirm that Dick most definitely said vile and unprintable things. He threatened Jen with bodily harm repeatedly (as well as Dustin). I feel there is no question he should have been kicked off the show. America apparently felt otherwise though.

I will no longer watch CBS' reality shows except maybe Amazing Race.
