Dick Victorious

Wins the Half Million!
What a wild ride it has been for the HouseGuests of BIG BROTHER 8. We've come to the end of an eventful summer with the father-daughter pair of Dick and Daniele making it to the final two. In the end, Dick walks away with the half million dollar prize after the Jury votes him the winner of BIG BROTHER 8.

Their time in paradise is coming to an end as the Jury Members await the final evictee's arrival with worried sighs. "I would absolutely love to see Dick or Daniele… it's a 50-50 toss-up. I would least like to see Zach here," Dustin sighs as he contemplates the next HouseGuest to arrive. "Dick, overall, has to be the absolute worst person I've ever met in my entire life and I don't even think he deserves $50,000," Jen complains as Zach walks into view. His arrival at the Jury House is met with disappointed moans. Eric tells Zach it would have been a six to one vote if he had been in the final two. Dustin anguishes over having to give the prize money to one of their least liked housemates.

America's Player: Final Vote
Eric gets his final America's Player instructions. He is directed to campaign for and vote for Dick to win. When Eric starts his campaigning, Dustin expresses his concern that giving the money to Dick will be seen as "condoning" Dick's behavior this summer. Jen says, "We have to figure out who is the worst of the worst," adding, "I think Dick shouldn't win." Eric refocuses the conversation to Dick's game instead of his "personal attacks." Dustin backs his choice of Daniele, pointing out, "Hands down she was a strong competitor." Eric tries again to boost his campaign for Dick. "Dick won three HoHs and won the Veto that saved his own life… so let's not devalue his competitive stature," Eric adds. Amber supports his argument. While everyone says Dick said horrible things throughout the summer, Jessica says not to discount what Daniele did: "She did it all, she just did it quieter," Jess points out. "Dick was the guard dog and Daniele was holding the leash," Zach says as Jameka agrees, "Daniele just collected all the benefit from it." Dustin sums it up with a sigh, "It's either Evel or Evel's spawn who is going to win."

The Jury has a chance to ask Dick and Daniele some final, gritty questions. Dustin welcomes the pair. "Kudos, you got what you wanted," Dustin grins before asking Dick what it is like sitting next to Daniele in the final. Dick smiles, saying it is easy to be sitting next to her, and nobody carried anyone in this game.
