Let's talk Dion

Well some confirmation on his fake nature tonight.

Last night he was acting to the girls how shocked he was when David made the comment. Today with the boys he was saying how he didn't think it was a big deal.

I'll take you word for it because I haven't seen the show. Very disappointing that he'd be two faced about this, in the long run I don't think it's worth it since there's always a strong possibility that this duplicitousness will eventually get out.
 
Yeah, I gotta rewatch yesterdays episode and tonite episode I was kind of tied up tonite so not watching it fully, but caught the major parts. I think he seems decent, I just feel like something is going to crack.

two faced big time. my hubby noticed it before I did. Straight edge my ass. Did you get that @Straight Edge Society. You had him pegged ;)
 
Am I getting this right - people think he's awful for not drinking/for thinking more women need more self-respect?

What he said about women was a bit harsh, and I don't think all women who are disrespected are also disrespecting themselves. However, he has a point in a way. There are a lot of women who complain about how men are now, but a lot also accept/take it. That just perpetuates the system. So, as much as his comment was douchey and blunt, it has some validity to it in some way. As a woman, I just don't put up with shit from men and it's kept me away from the problems that my female friends who DO put up with that stuff experience. Unfortunately, I also know women who are like myself and have still been in awful situations (rape, etc), so that isn't to say that it's 100% down to a woman's actions/self-respect, but when women basically allow the men in their life to overtake them and treat them like dirt, how can they expect anything else? It's about taking control of yourself as much as you can. There are times when that still won't be enough, but do as much as you can. The same applies to men in those situations (toxic relationships). Ex: a man who wants an extremely intelligent woman shouldn't complain about not attracting that if he himself acts like a fratboy.

As for not drinking, who cares? Tahan wasn't a drinker either and she didn't really state her reasons, but I suspect her reasons were basically the same. She was concerned with her physique as he is, but she also wanted to avoid the other ramifications as I'm sure he does too. Too many people DO rely on alcohol as a social crutch. I personally drink, but I love it when someone can enjoy an alcohol-free life and still have lots of fun. He seems really fun without it, too, so I think it's great that he backed up that comment.

So far, he seems like a genuinely great guy. Yes, he's also the best looking (IMO) but I'm shocked at how caring he's come across so far. A lot of you assume he has a huge ego. Why? Because he's a highly attractive guy who leads a different type of life? Sounds like the people who are really preoccupied with that maybe have some issues and see him as that judgmental guy who'll make them feel bad about themselves.

It's just hard to get a read on him. Girl I'm trying, I'm really trying...

No one cares that he doesn't drink, it was his attitude of if people drink they must be unhappy. This kind of attitude has come through a few times where there is a view with some that he is quite judgmental. He see his way as the only way and the way he does things are being the only correct way. Hence his ego and this views the over the top emphasis on his looks.

This has an impact at viewing his comment about woman need to respect themselves to be respected. Yeah maybe he was making some grand point about feminism and perpetuating bad behavior of guys and it got lost in the edit.

To me it simply seemed as if he has a view of how woman should act. If they don't live up to that, then they are doing something wrong and bad things flow on from that.

Which I think is his general view to everyone and everything. Separating out females like that does raise an eyebrow due to the large way you can interpret 'not respecting woman' to mean. The aspect of it's the females fault because she hasn't done the right thing. Was he saying, 'ladys you have to reach my standards to have a great guy like me be interested' or some other ego centric view of it.

In any case it was about applying external standards towards females that must be met for them to get respect. Not cool.

He is not a genuinely great guy when he is contradicting himself on his positions and thoughts to different gender groups in the house. He's being fake, trying to play a well put together person that pleases everyone. It is not caring to be saying to a crying girl how he agrees and was shocked at the comments. Then be with the boys laughing about the comment and saying he didn't understand what was wrong.

He clearly didn't think Lisa deserved to be respected in this situation.
 
I just can't get past his GIANT BURGER NIPPLES. He has an oddly proportioned body.. I suspect he focused on certain areas of his body to build up only and so they haven't come out proportionally. He has a small chest, broader shoulders AND GIANT BURGER NIPS.[DOUBLEPOST=1410837434][/DOUBLEPOST]I just can't get past his GIANT BURGER NIPPLES. He has an oddly proportioned body..

he could have inserted the fact of who said what when he joined the lisa/katie crying bitching fest, but he added fuel a little.

I think he just has strong opinions but is afraid to cause trouble. It's probably too early on for him to get involved in anything, plus he probably already feels on the outs for that. I personally hope he becomes more vocal and just says what he feels, but his personality seems like that of the type of guy who won't actually shove what he thinks down your throat.

And while I didn't like that he didn't just say "man, stop" in that discussion with David, I think a part of him didn't think it was his place to say anything. And I get it. If the girls were talking about the guys, I doubt any of the girls would have done that, even if they felt that way (which is highly doubtful). He seems like a legitimately nice guy so far.
 
He seems to me abit like a chameleon, telling people what they want to hear. He seems to be able to slip into any conversation, so far i don't mind him.

I love how at the dinner he was taking credit for being the messiah and the bringer of food and fun after being granted HoH 20 seconds ago, smug smile as if claiming it was all his doing then being granted the pamper room.

Flip that and Priya/Katie were made out to be the bad guys by taking money from the prize pool and taking away food for the week.

as it stands (early days yet) it seems the BB production team can easily influence the housemates popularity as detailed above.
SO I REALLY hope in the efforts of fairness that they put Dion and Jason under the same choices and pressures as Katie and Priya

WELL

Turns out the devilish evil twist that Dion and Jason had was swap two people... Duh Duh DAAAHH!! whoa slow down there!...
like you mean Ryan and Travis are not team mates?! ...
"like we can eat, talk or be friends with each other anymore?!!"
"nah you can"
"oh, well its not that bad then"

clearly these two are being set up to be favoured by the housemates and viewers.

Priya and Katie got the bum end of being HoH and the above two dorks are getting smooth sailing
 
I literally had to think for a moment about who Dion was when I saw this thread.... has not made an impression on me at all!!!!
