Dani seems to be running the game right now.

She is going to use Rachel and Brendon to get rid of Jordan who she views as her biggest competition in the game.

Then she is going to work with Dominic / Rachel and Brendon to get down to the end and work to get her in the Final 2 against Rachel which will be an automatic win for her.

It may not go to plan, but as she notes there is no way JJ/BR and Dani will be the final five, she clearly is looking at all the angles and possibilities.

Her only kryptonite might be taking Dominic too far. If she ends up going to the end with him, she could potentially lose depending on how the next couple of months play out. She needs to be smart and get rid of him when the time is right and not allow any sentimental attachment to throw her off target.

I will say Jeff and Jordan are in a tough spot unless they realize Dani really wants to make sure Jordan leaves the game. Dani is Jordan's biggest threat by far, and I am pretty sure Jordan has no clue at this point.

never thought i'd say i'm a fan of any donato but dani is playing a killer game right now. she seems to have learned a lot from her first go round and if a vet has to win, then it better be dani.

Ugh! I hope she can recover from this. J/J/B/R are hypocrites, imo. They have their partner, plus Shelly and Porsche, but Dani isn't allowed to have anyone. Blech! I hope Dom wins POV today.

Yeah I am not the biggest Dom fan in the world but it is good for her game, and it is crazy that the four of them wised up to realize that Dani was going to be at least on equal footing with them.

diary room has been having its way and Dani looks to be in trouble.

Right this min she is trying to talk turkey with Shelley, not realizing what a backstabber she is. I thought dani was SAFE this week, why is acting like she is on the block? its weird

I think Dani has way overplayed her hand this week.

She went from sitting pretty to crashing and burn very quickly.

She has gotten antsy sitting on the sidelines. She played hard to keep Dominic in the game, but now she has way overplayed trying to still keep him in, especially since she has created tighter bonds with other players.

She has squarely placed herself in the sites of the two couples now, and it is going to be very difficult for her to get to the end. She is going to have to win a lot of challenges and have a little bit of good luck. I do not know how she fumbled so early.

It was way too early in the game for her to make these big moves. Her biggest mistake was thinking it was necessary to get one of the four out before sequester. She could played them for their votes but instead she got paranoid and flipped out.

Even though I do not like to listen to Shelli talk except when she talks game, she has put her in the position Dani was sitting in before.

Things can change fast, but Dani is going to have to be willing to give up on Dom now and just move forward.

I thought about this earlier too and this may be where her father being there might have helped her (but his being there would have made the entire game different now so it is more than a wash). She has no confident. Dani is trying to play a lot of people, but she has nobody she can trust and nobody, right now, who can shake some sense into her and tell her to settle down and that she is overplaying her hand.

She really needs that now, and there is nobody there to do it.

I agree. It's a huge advantage to have someone trustworthy there that you can vent to and blow off steam. That is where Dick leaving has hurt Dani's game. Also, Dani is a competitor. Getting the golden key and sitting on the sidelines is stressing her out.

On the plus side, I won't be at all surprised if she wins the next HOH. :-)

last night F5 alliance met in HOH. i thought it was an attack dani meeting

interestingly, dani got a chance to counter jeff's accusations with one of her own. Rachel's face was CLASSIC as jeff stumbled and bumbled thru his explanation as to why him and jordan had F6 alliances with everyone in the house.

I thought it was masterful manipulation that dani answered the way she did and ONLY exposed what the others already knew/

some of us were hoping she'd expose R Br as the people who were considering BDing jeff but dani didnt. i think it showed amazing control.

could babble on about this but best to watch on flashbacks yourself. Somewhere around 1145pm last night monday

Here are some of Danielle's stats from her season. She is a strong competitor. I hope she gets to stick around for awhile.

From her season 8, Daniele has won two Head of Household competitions (Week 5 and 7) and five Power of Veto competitions (Weeks 1, 2, 7, 9 and 10), tying Janelle's Big Brother: All Stars record.

this week is crucial!! the groundwork was layed well last week, cracks visible to the whole house as to the Initial alliance.

J J having side alliances with Everyone was exposed.

R Br being backstabbing unreliable allies was exposed

Dani is looking like someone that any of them may wish to line up with

I'm really glad Dani got the HOH. The plan for me would be for her to nominate Jeff and Brendon. If one of them pulls himself off, nominate the other one's partner.

I was a huge fan of Dani in her season, and like her even more in this one. Hope she wins.

It seems as though Kalia is with her via attrition. They could also grab Lawon. If they're smart, they should try to bring in Adam since he is enamored of the Vets (which she is one,) and he's physically strong and very knowledgeable about BB. I'd like to see her make a Final Two deal with Adam (who currently doesn't have one, and would be "third" at best in any grouping with the Vet couples...unless he "pairs" with whichever Vet loses their partner,) and they could take over the game.

I have vacillated over Dani from time to time this season. I appreciate her game play but did think she tried to make a move one week too soon.
However, I do like her new resolve without Dominic in the house. When he was there, she was acerbic, super sarcastic and everything was a veiled cutting comment.
Without him, she is more focused and has let the personal stuff go. I think she is playing logically and plotting a few steps ahead.
Rachel,Brendon and Jeff cannot get past personal at all.

I fell off the Dani train when she trainwrecked her entire game with the premature Jeff backdoor plan.

Imagine if that never happened. There is a chance Dom would still be there for her, she still would have won this week and the vets would have won all the HOHs so you would have the Vet 5 + Dom with three of these four : Kalia, Adam, Lawon, Porsche.

Dani would have been in an amazing position. That being said I have been a real fan of how she has handled herself this week so far, so I am back on board.

I especially appreciate what she was telling Rachel last night that it is game and that it is not personal and she truely wants everyone to enjoy their experience.

I think the first time through Dani took the whole BB experience for granted and now that she has matured and gotten a second chance she is not going to mess it up. On top of that she knows how important it is for everyone there and she does not want to make anyone regret their experience.

Even if the prize is 500k, it is still a game, at the end of the day (booya), and people play games for more and still can be cordial and friendly and leave the playing on the game and not make it personal. That is how I see Dani's approach to the game and I think it is awesome.

If I played Monopoly with all the people closest to me in the world I would want to steamroll everyone and I would do what I had to do to win. That being said, though, it would just be a game and I would not sweat the small stuff. I appreciate someone who wants to compete as hard as possible when it comes to a game like BB, but also has the proper perspective.

I agree with MissyB on the other vets letting too much stuff become personal. The only one who does not seem to have that problem is Jordan. I also wish they shared Dani's appreciation for this second chance they have been given.

For me, I would love a Dani and Adam final two.
