I'm still annoyed with Danielle for caving to Dan. Not just that of course. In general she seems to be one of those people who feel that having an opinion or trusting their own judgment is just too scary and risky. She should have nominated who she wanted.

In the end it worked out for me as a viewer. I think having the Boogie/Frank combo is more interesting than not, and probably more interesting long term than Janelle.

But I still think backing down was a punk move. I think the crocodile tears were not a sign of manipulative skill, but a sign of insecurity and desire to avoid conflict and to always be liked.

I console myself that she cannot win. Can she?


By the way, hi. I'm Deb.

Na, Danielle can't win, but she could make F2. She sure jumped at the idea of getting Janelle out though, but t hat was personal...which is her problem, isn't it?

Yes, it is. Or at least that's her other problem. My problem with her is she's a wimp. But you make a really good point.

Thanks.

Went without saying, I thought!

It's kind of ironic to consider Danielle was playing a personal game in taking out Janelle when Janelle has always made the game personal whenever she has played (not that there is necessarily anything wrong with that other than it clouds one's judgement).

I think Janelle made it personal in striking BACK at those who had taken out her allies and kept nominating her.

Danielle made a first strike nomination totally personal.

And yes, no rules against making it personal.

Janelle had to go - she looked at Dani "funny."

Even though Danielle is not a strong player, she managed to get out a big threat. Frank was stupid not to go with his instincts (even Dan thought it was a good move to nominate him!!) and make a big move. Wil didn't have the talent to go long term. He should have been left in the house for a later exit like Jenn, Ashley and Joe.

Danielle is not the first HOH player to let someone else dictate who they put up, look at Frank. He wanted Dan walking out the door and instead it was Will. It's possible Boogie cost him the game. We will see. It happens all the time and that won't change.

As for Janelle, I like her and she's one of my favorites but she wasn't playing smart this season. If she were playing a better social game, it might not have been so easy for Dan to convince Dani to nominate her. And lets not forget, the house voted her out not HOH.

She has played a personal game in the past, that's why she's walked out the door 3 times, empty handed.

She is not the first. I sighed. I said: They must give them all an IQ test before picking the houseguests. They choose a few who fail.

It's absolutely true that every year people see the best plan, they talk about it, they decide on it, and then someone says, "Look over there!" "Something shiny!" And idiocy ensues.

And yes, the exact same things could be said about Frank's choice. I guess I just like Frank better because he doesn't cry to get out of dealing with the fall out from his decisions.

I disagree. Danielle can & I think will win it all. She's been my pick to win from day one and still is. She's in one of the best spots in the house. She has a final two with Dan, with Shane & with Brittney. She is in with Joe and Ian and Jen likes her quite a bit too. Frank doesn't mind her and Ashley doesn't count. Boogie leaves Thursday and she's in a great spot PLUS she's good at comps. Go Danielle!!!!!!!

I think Shane is a loyal person and I think his first loyalty is to Brit. If it comes down to who to take to the finals I bet he takes his coach. He may have a friendship with dani but she also makes him uncomfortable. Dani has a chance to win as they all do but Shane wont take her to the end...I don't think.
