'Big Brother': Do tonight's nominations matter?

Dick-Donato-Brother

If you consider yourself a rabid Big Brother fan (and we know there are millions of you out there), then you probably already know that Dick Donato left the house shortly after the show’s premiere on Thursday. His departure should mean that tonight’s nomination ceremony will be a practice in futility: The house already had its first evictee, and his name was Evel Dick. 

Personally, I can’t be more pleased about this surprise turn of events. (Shocker! I find him absolutely reprehensible). But his departure has spawned quite a few online conspiracy theories, namely that he staged some sort of Diary Room blowup and demanded an immediate eviction just so he could use the ordeal to promote his website. Then again, the dynamic between Evel Dick and his daughter Daniele on premiere night was just too uncomfortable to overlook, which could also mean that Daddy-O just didn’t want to spend another minute with a daughter who couldn’t stand him so he sought a quick getaway. After all, Dick did say that it had been three years since he had spoken to Daniele, who turned out to be quite the vision with her blonde-turned-brunette locks. (Hey, even I can muster up a few pleasantries about the Donato clan).

I’m hoping tonight’s nomination ceremony can shed some light on this mystery, even though CBS said we wouldn’t learn the full story until Wednesday’s episode. At the same time, I’m also feeling like the episode may be a waste of time because no one should have to go home if Dick already did. What do you think, BB fans? Weigh in with your opinions and/or conspiracy theories below. (Spoilers who frequent genius sites like Jokers Updates, refrain from spilling too much, please). And check back later for a full BB recap.

    What about the golden key? If you can only nominate pairs in the first four weeks, does that make Danielle immune? If so, she got it without having to be on the block.

    • gato

      yes….damn

      • jlb

        How about they will bring in someone else back

        I wouldn’t put it pas ED to have staged the whole thing to get Danielle to the top 10. I also heard they kicked him off b/c he posted on his website that he was going into the house (which violates the contract)..

      • darclyte

        ED posted a video on his website as to what happened. He said he wasn’t kicked out for his prior video, it wasn’t about his health or anything to do with his mom, son, or girlfriend. He said it had nothing to do with promoting his website as he could have done that far better and more often being in the house and on the show. He also said it had nothing to do with “helping” Danielle in the game. He also said that it was not anything that he was aware of prior to going into the house and that it was so serious that the producers of the show actually came into the Diary Room to tell him (rather than over a speaker which is how they usually communicate in the DR.) He is respecting the person’s privacy by not saying who or what, but it involved a very close friend, one who’s been there for ED, and that when he was told about it that it “knocked his socks off.” He said that he would never want to leave the house as he wanted to win again, but he doesn’t regret leaving to be there for this person.

    • Bonnie

      Good luck watching it on Wed. since it is on Tuesday and Thursday. Get your facts right if you want to run a website.

      • Mark

        It actually is on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday nights this year. Get your facts right if you want to criticize a website. Enjoy tuning in on Tuesday, though.

      • ann

        this year it is on Sun, Wed, Thurs according to cbs.com

      • darclyte

        They switched it to Wednesday last season. So, welcome to last year Bonnie.

      • princesspr

        WOW! Bonnie ….now, how are you going to criticize and be WRONG.

        Not only are you wrong you are LOUD AND WRONG!!!!
        ]

      • Heather

        It was on Wed. last year too

      • Connie

        Bonnie – you must feel like a jerk! I would if I were you. Here is some advice “Think twice – speak once” especially if you are so quick to point out mistakes.

    • Grits Aunt

      That’s just what I said. She should have been given imunity for a week & replaced with another guest. No fair to get the golden key.

    • stu

      NOTHING bout this show matters.

      • Tori

        Once again a hater who wastes their time commenting on a show they don’t like get a life loser.

      • princesspr

        …just like your post?….so, you post and don’t watch the show…Get outta here with that!

    • Eric p

      I love how the writer chastises spoiler posters. When they spoiled ED’s exit. Instead of being vague and letting whoever wanted to know click on the link….

      • SLB

        Actually, CBS spoiled it.

  • doodoo

    Lmao…why do these so called entertainment news sites continue to give trailer trash losers like the Donato losers space? Reality tv needs to go away, as does all the trash looking for their 15 min of fame. What losers

    • Nancy Grace

      THAT’S DEEP, DOODOO, BUT DOODOO IS RIGHT, PEOPLE! TOT MOM IS GUILTY!

      • Cindy

        YOU GOT THAT RIGHT NANCY !!!!!…YAYYYYYYYY THE EVEL ONE IS GONE..IN MY OPINION HE IS AN ARROGANT PIG THAT HATES WOMEN

    • TicklePig

      What kind of loser takes time out of thier iportant, busy schedule to troll web-sites and complain about what they don’t like? You now have 30 seconds of loser fame. Keep going, only 14 1/2 minutes to go.

  • glen

    and yet, doodoo, for all your moral superiority, you still feel it necessary to troll on this site and comment?…..interesting…

  • Peter Nehra

    Danelle got the golden key

    • Wagbeard

      And Rachel got the golden shower.

  • Casey A.

    I got the golden key so now I can party and dance with the devil all night long!

  • Jan

    Come on, Big Brother. Can’t you guys find some new people on Big Brother? I just tuned into it tonight and it is many of the same people from other seasons. I’m not interested in watching another season of the same people. Get New!!

    • Look who’s watching

      Jan I agree, I really could have done without seeing Brando and Rachell right back so soon. Not fair to the new players or the viewers. Really, the two of them are played and lame….

  • David

    It doesn’t mess up the schedule too much though- there were going to be a couple of double eviction weeks anyway, so all he did was just move one of them up.

  • Roni

    I love BB but it needs to come up with a better way to keep ahead of the Internet. If you follow twitter or watch BB After Dark or the live feed you are already days ahead of the broadcasts.

    • Pogi

      I know, right? I always skim my way through BBAD and everything is done from pretty much thursday thru saturday. They could at least air those portions on the same day or space out the competitions more. It’s kind of a waste…

    • allie

      Seriously!!! Even on a regular week the nominatons, veto comp and veto ceremony have taken place before the Sunday episode airs…. it’s ridiculous!! Also they paint some of the contestants differently on the show than they come off in the feed and BBAD. It’s crazy the way the producers make the show what THEY want it to be despite what it really is.

    • forrest

      Granted, BBAD infers the competition results through conversations, but the prime time broadcasts offer original, never before seen content.

  • Katcrazee

    I posted a reply and it did not show up!

  • Katcrazee

    I think with him leaving they will just skip the double elim wk this season.

  • Katcrazee

    LOL They were not posting my first one cuz it had the word d*ck in it.

  • Kristen

    Yay! Now I might watch this season. I decided not to watch after seeing this jerk on the premiere. CBS/the producers let him cross way too many lines the first time he was on.

  • ann

    @bonnie, this year they changed it from Tues to Wed. See cbs.com

  • sandi

    Throw in another couple.

    • SLB

      How about not.

  • summer

    I was thrilled to have “Evil” back, raw, rude, and real. Dysfunction at its best. Who wants to watch mundane people? I’ll miss him.

    • forrest

      I’m sure the major confrontations would have been between Rachael and ED. So much for the script….

      • LOL

        TV for idiots.

      • SLB

        They’re actually friends.
