Dean is quitting the show because it's "difficult" and he's tired of "sharing his feelings thoughts and demons". What has he bared? Most of the good stuff happened off-camera (if it happened at all) - his 5150, Rehab, AA & therapy sessions - there is no way Tori would allow him to blow off potential income by quitting with 5 more episodes to film. I swear I read somewhere that there were only 4 episodes this season anyway, which would explain why Tori and Dean are making so much less $$ this time around. The big Mary Jo/Tori confrontation airs next week, something producers would normally air for a season finale. Maybe the network already decided the ratings are too low to give them 2nd seaons "extra" episodes or a 3rd season so Dean's trying to spin it around like its his idea to pull the plug. LOL

Don't most microwaves nowadays come with a "Potato" button? Last night's episode was like one of those "how many XXX's does it take to change a lightbulb" jokes come to life. I could have sworn Dean mentioned in the first episode that he already got his 9 month chip? What kind of counselor/therapist/fellow-AA'er would TEXT you that your mutual friend not only died but committed suicide? Not a phone call or knock on the door. TEXT. I'm thinking....didn't happen. Leigh3, I've been wondering why he and Tori never seem to show up together at the therapy sessions AND Dean's face is always bright red in these scenes. I suspected he was hitting the bottle again, but if he's riding in, it makes sense, but wouldn't he be sweatier? Does anyone else think Tori really went to that Al-anon meeting? She treated the whole suggestion like it was so beneath her, like Dean's addiction is his own mess to clean up. Maybe she was so resistant because she doesn't want to face her own hoarding issues or (alleged) eating disorder.

I don't think she actually met with Charlie, even off camera. I doubt after how he was humiliated he would have any part in a storyline to drive up ratings for the two of them.

Apparently Stephanie's real longtime BF is a former WWE wrestler who went by the moniker "Eugene" (look them up on google images, there are a ton of pictures). I don't know how she knows Dick, but it's likely they are both on the show for $$$. I think it is abhorrent if he used his disease to finagle a spot on this show. The body language expert can't be all that great if she didn't pick up on that. Stephanie isn't even a very good actress - she shows NO emotion nor does she offer any emotional support while Dick is choking back tears telling everyone of his HIV status. She actually looks pissed.

He was most likely sent home from big brother due to the need for him to get medical attention right away and notify former sex partners, not fear of transmission to other cast members. What I don't understand is why he was finding out after the cameras started rolling. There's a post on reddit calling b.s. (http://www.reddit.com/r/BigBrother/comments/2gy7x4/proof_that_evel_dick_is_on_couples_therapy_with_a/) on the Dick/Stephanie relationship. Apparently he had a different girlfriend named Amy for the better part of the last few years. maybe she didn't want to be on tv so he hired a stand-in so he could get a nice paycheck? In hindsight, I thought that the body language with those two was really weird and distant and their therapy sessions are very vague. Plus, she's pretty far out of his league.
