Dani is 5 years older, 20 lbs heavier, and doesn't have ED to bulldoze her opponents.

Dani has had the best start of any BB gamer. She's been safe and able to socialize without threat to the others for 5 weeks.

Her social game falls apart when the "Thaaaats Not Faaaaaiiiirrrr!" atarts. ED was able to take her to a quiet room and counsel her through it in Season 8.

Dani rode Dick's noisy cattails in Season 8.

"Dani rode Dick's noisy cattails in Season 8."

While unbeknownst to Dick (at the time), he was riding the coat tails of America's Player.

Dick doesn't deserve the credit for "winning" his season at all...if it wasn't for America's Player he would've surely been evicted before the final 2, based on his ow game play, which mostly consisted of abusive behavior. Not only is ED not relevant this season, he wasn't particularly relevant in his own season.

Yeah... what SFJF said. Dick didn't run the house, he bullied the house thanks to America's Player.

I say Sanfran is brilliant! I never saw Dick as a great or even good player just a bully who got lucky with the AP twist. And his daughter certainly played like a toddler in their first season now she's elevated her play to that of a kindergartener.

lol... stay tuned for the "whoever wins deserves it" mantra. That said, I couldn't agree more, Sfjf. There's a lot of not relevant going around.

Much as I'm not on the Go Dani bus, I think she's the only one with half a brain in there right now so I'm hoping she doesn't wizz in her own backyard and stays put. Otherwise, it becomes Dr. Phil/Povich/Oprah/Springer Show.

I can't argue with SFJF. Dick wouldn't have won without AP. And he wouldn't have won this year. I was just looking forward to the Dick/Brenchel fireworks before the three of them got evicted.

I am willing to hold off on Dani until she actually has to play the game. She got the free pass that BB planned for her. In a couple of weeks she will actually have to do something. Then we can decide if she knows what she is doing in this game.

She started out using her gold key opportunity well, by socializing with everyone in the house.

Had she gone along with 'the 5' for a few more days, she might have been golden, as the rest of the house went after each other.

But she set her sights on DomiNICK and she allowed that to ruin everything. I can't even blame Dominic, he didn't exactly go to her looking for her 'help' - He was hanging out with Cassi, and trying to get the newbies organized against the vets.

Then, Dani tries to 'help' him, blowing up both of their games.

What a disaster!

Good post Rosem and like your play on Dom's name !!

Just 5 more days and she could have put her own agenda into action.

I think her biggest flaw has been lack of patience. She should have cut just waited it out, seen what the next twist was and rolled with it.

She is a smart player but she may have outsmarted herself.

Too bad.

I hate to hear her say, "I want to play!!! And, I can't because of the key". She has been playing since day 1.

I give Dani 100 percent credit for completely ruining Dom's game.

Chere Dom is also giving Dani 100% credit for destroying his game and his summer. I was really enjoying her game play but something went awry in her planning. Don't know how she will recover.

Dani's the only one making any sense to me in this game right now. JJ should have been target ONE from day ONE. RB not so much cause hey, couldn't hurt to sit next to one or both at the end. They have more enemies than Carter has underwear.

I think Dani not having her dad there is a huge advantage for her. I think she would have come across significantly differently in Season 8 had he not been there or went home early. She dealt with that literally every single day of the entire season. It is a burden that no other player in BB has ever had to deal with.

Secondary is her maturity. She is much more mature now and I believe that makes a huge difference. When you get close to 25, that is about the time I think you actually reach adulthood in this day and age (except maybe for Dominic :-) ), so i think that is a big difference.

I have been really impressed by how much more mature Dani was this year and how smart she was playing the game. Then in the last few days she just kept pushing things way too hard and everything has blown up on her.

I don't understand why she made her alliance with Dominique so obvious, wouldn't she guess that Adam would promise and do anything the other vets want? So why would the other vets want to keep Dom, just to please her? I don't think so.
Something went wrong in her social game when she fiercely protected Dominique, and he's so wrong for her (actually quite a disappointment), she should have aligned with Shelly, she needed someone who could hide their game better, not blabbing Dominique who bragged so much about winning that POV when in fact it was given to him by Rachel so they could backdoor Cassie, I do't think he figured that out yet...

Spunky, I am thinking she chose Dom because she could claim a faux "love connection" to hide an alliance. She definitely overplayed her hand protecting him from eviction. She could have been quiet, let him go, align with Shelly and the vets would still love and trust her.

Exactly so... I thought her a bit more cunning, I need to read what her father is saying about her game... somewhere in some tweets...

Her plan was to snag Dom for the retread alliance (as another appendage perhaps but nothing more) and it was discussed with at least BR, not sure about JJ but I think so. It was like her assigned task and hey, doesn't hurt he's a fun, likeable guy.

Dani stayed in bed and pouted a huge part of her first time on. The rest she was cryig, flirting with Nick or being calmed down and or fussing with her father. He did calm her down and got her back on track a lot. I don't think she'd have made it to the final two without him.
I think she came in planning to play a good strategic/nonemotional and mature game, but she got emotional over Dom, cause she thinks he is the key to her being there longer and now she isn't getting her way. So she is pouting, not as much as her first time on, but she is pouting. I was hoping she had matured more than that. It will be interesting to see how long she can hang in there on her own. It'll be interesting to see how she does if the HOH competition is endurance Thursday night. She hung on a long time in that comp between her, Evel Dick and Adam, but she knew her dad was there backing her up. She dropped and I remember how cold and shivering she was. I don't know that she will be as strong as some of them think she will.
She may turn things around and do great, but she also may have already ruined her game, and end up wishing she'd kept her tough competitor reputation from the previous season.

one good look at her thighs will tell you that she won't be able to hang by her legs like she did last time. Her weight gain is there and in her hips.

you guys do realize dani may have just guaranteed that a newbie will want to take her to the end. now that the Final four have said they will vote for each other and DONT like dani, i can see the remaining newbies NOT WANTING to be up against J J BR or rach at end.

dani is now the logical choice
