I think it will do more damage because some men who saw him on the show will think it is okay to treat his daughter the way he treated some of the woman on big brother

I saw it as a total joke (the "threat" to not talk to him for another two years if he voted her out). She was smiling as she said it and her body language was relaxed. They have worked most excellently as a team. It's been great to watch their relationship grow (or recover) this summer. And me, too, Chico... I wish them all the best!

If Dick doesn't make F2 at least we and he got to experience Daniele RUNNING and jumping into her Dad's arms in total joy. And i don't think she could have used that Veto on him 2 months ago no matter that it really wasn't a risk.

I must say, when I posed the question yesterday, I thought there was no way she would use the veto on Dick. However, I think the biggest potential improvement in their relationship occurred last night. He really hung in there for her, and she ultimately gave him permission to quit. It's the best sign of hope I've seen thus far.

There was no risk associated with her using the veto on Dick so she took advantage of the situation. I truly believe that if she thought there was any risk to her she wouldn't have - plus Dick insisted she not use it on him if there was any risk.

So nicely choreographed! Just what Allison has wanted since before the summer began. Now, for one final, emotionally touching week with the two of them together, alone.

I think the risk or lack of risk is irrelevant. It was a gesture -- and a loving one at that. Can't we just be happy for them that they both seem to be making some amendments? Well, I'm going to be happy for them!

Risk or not she used it on him. That and last night were major steps in improving the relationship. I'm proud of both of them.

Yes, it was a very sentimental gesture - and the opportunity existed for her to take advantage to make the gesture. She wouldn't have made the gesture - and her father wouldn't have let her make the gesture - if there had been some level of risk. That's all I'm saying. Certainly, she had the choice not to do it at all and it was a very sweet gesture to make.

Honestly, I think this whole experience will end up bonding them together. I truly do. I hope so, anyway.

Me too Hermione69. I now see why they tell hg's to stay off the net for at least 3 weeks after leaving the house. If I was Dani, I would stay off a lot longer than that!

I was asleep for the end of the comp- was Daniele tender and caring towards him? That would mean a lot.

I asked about that the other night- he makes a weird breathing noise that sounds like crying as he falls asleep- apparently he has talked about it.

Christii...that is just the sniffling thing he does to put himself to sleep. He says he's done it all his life. Meggie...yes. She got him towels, made them both hot tea and grilled cheese and soup. He gave him a huge hug. They talked. She wrapped him up, told him not to go outside because it was cold.

well, I just watched it on utube. A few minutes before he got off, he was trying to talk and she couldnt understand him or something, so she start with her "okaaaaay" whine, It was really scarcastic, tho I cant remember what she said exactly. It kind of shocked me tho, since he looked near death! She told he could com down tho, and got him blankets and made him (and Zach) a grilled cheese. she didnt seem really warm and fuzzy to me, but she was helpful, if that makes sense

wow, it does really sound like hes crying! Meggie, there is a utube link somewhere in the comp thread, and its 9 minutes long, so it gives a good sense of what happened before he came down.

They were all quite quiet after it was all over. No, Daniele didn't rush or talk a lot. It's not her way. She did, however, comfort him and stay with him. She told them both to drink plenty of water and provided it for them, along with food and Advil. The first few minutes after the comp are not representative of what she did.

I watched the feeds right after he came down, and didnt see Dani do anything else, other than the grilled cheese, and kind of sitting around by her dad. What else did she do Bee?? Did I miss something awesome and sweet??

She got to the point where she had to watch from inside (i get that way when nervous or anxious) She encouraged him but also told him he could stop that it was alright. She was warm and fussy for Daniele.

i was watching right before and after he came down. nearing the end she kept asking him if he was okay and he could barely answer her. She asked him what he wanted to do and he very shakily said "quit". at first she replied with a few "no, don't quit"s, Zach was in pain, you can beat him and so ons, but quickly she realized that he really did NEED to quit and let him know it was okay. It was very very hard for him to let go of the key but she kept telling it was okay. she was very concerned about him after that, and told him several times she was proud of him. She really did seem to be very concerned about him.

Also, she was crying when she stood there and told him it was okay to jump off. During the comp she told him she loved him. Later, after he had been to DR and just before she went in, he asked her to tell him she loves him again. She laughed and say, no, and that she was going to talk to James (in the DR) about that. They are just not a warm and fuzzy kind of family...but the feeling was definately implied between them.
