Just watching Big Brother 8 all the way through for the first time and one thing I do NOT understand...

How can ANYONE love Evel Dick? His behaviour is as bad if not worse than Amanda BB15's, if you love him please explain idgi.

I've watched some of the live feeds and he calls Jen a c**t non-stop which is unacceptable, why was he fan favourite?!

It was quite pleasurable to see him being so raw and real with that bunch of goody-two-shoes. He is who he is, nothing phony about him.

Amanda was the same.

Loved them both.

Maybe because he was by far the most entertaining housemate out of the lot? Also people wanted to see his relationship with his daughter develop and he showed a lot of raw emotion when trying to save his daughter. And most of of the other housemates were total freaks so was highly amusing for him to say what he thought about them

the greatest thing about evel was his confidence. He didnt give a flying f to what people thought about him in the house was never worried about being on the block because he knew he could fight his way off. Amanda on the other hand does nothing all summer and cries her eyes out when things don't go her way.

I loved Amanda but I agree with the OP about Dick. He was consistently vile, especially towards Jen and I don't understand how tipping whatever it was over her head wasn't considered an assault.

I didn't like Danielle either and certainly didn't give a toss about their poxy relationship.

I think his commentaries about subsequent seasons have been quite insightful though.

He's literally the worst.

Some people just like when someone stirs things up and causes things to happen no matter if it's bad.

If you're sitting and watching live feed, a person might be waiting for something to happen that even though isn't good could be considered entertaining in contrast to nothing happening, and if you have someone like Dick creating things to talk about like rigging the faucets for water to shoot out, making things happen in causing arguments or shaking the house up.. some seem to just enjoy that regardless. Russel Hantz from Survivor also got support, and he was a complete jerk as well.

Some also see it as purely a game and saw it more as tactical in trying to break her, or shake her up, etc.

I was absolutely shocked he had so much support. I was team Jen all the way and i couldn't believe it.

I haven't watched any live feed for any US BB so I may have missed something but I thought the dislike for Amanda was based on her racism / homophobia along with a healthy dollop of misogyny whereas Dick seemed stuck on misogyny. Not an ideal trait I accept but he seemed to target certain individuals to undermine and weaken them in the name of the game and his central aim was for another to win, his daughter I know, but still a 'nice' thing to do. Amanda seemed like she just was casually racist and the rest.

A lot of Amanda's nastiness seemed to come from her insecurities and jealousies which was also made it more unpleasant to watch.
