Sunshyne, I answered Jimmer's post and I know I wasn't the one. Do we know what Kris's career choice is? Even still, we don't know his potential. A couple of years ago my sister was a cocktail waitress (in her mid to late 20s) and now she has her own business and is making a half million/yr in commercial real estate sales (and that is in a very tough market).

true but Dani said he was an apprentice that has to work his way up. Real estate, in my opinion, is all about personality and looks. if you have charisma or good looks, you will be successful.

agreed - my sis has them in spades and top people in the field have told her from the beginning that she will be very successful. kendra the apprentice winner even mentored her for a while and wanted her to open a branch office. some people assume that i married my hubby because he has a well paying job but when we got engaged, he was waiting tables and was only an average student (at a rather tough school). it took him 6 months to even find a salaried position after graduating, not much before our wedding. i can remember begging him to accept a position that paid $6/hr. you just never know how things will turn out. i was well educated and had a good job, then became disabled with chronic health problems. point all being - i don't think marrying on the basis of how someone is doing financially is such a good idea - that can change.

Whether or not Chris is "the one", is unknown. The most important thing for Danielle is that if he's not the one, he's at least a nice guy. My first real boyfriend turned out to be not so great, even though I dated him for about five years. He cheated on me and I got gonorrhea by immaculate conception. lol J/K I had to throw that in. I also had to find out how to spell gonorrhea. lol

oh I agree...financial stuff is not a good base for marriage. unless someone is filthy rich of course LOL but what bothers me is the boyfriend running back home. Mind you, from the way dani talks, they must have needed a lot of money to sustain a rental home and their extras.

Hey, I spell Danielle right, she doesn't. But now I have a clue why everyone shortens it to Dani. ;)

Jimmer I have feeds and showtime and read lfp and Nick sure has a nicer way of speaking most of the time than, say ERIC. That guy takes cheap shots continually and I don't find him witty or funny at all. BLEH. I realize I missed Nick's blowup, but I'd keep him in that house and on my feeds long after I booted Kail, Dustin, Amber and Eric.

Boy do I pity him. One thing to have your g/f do something like this to you but to have it done to you on national TV when you didn't sign up for it. Poor guy. Might just be the best thing that ever happened to him though.

I would think that he has experience with this kind of thing, no? According to Daniele's on-line journal, he was engaged to another girl when he started a relationship with Daniele 2 or 3 years ago. (Daniele was 17?) Karma baby.

So Dani stole him away and now embarrasses him on TV.

I think the word is "humiliates" not merely "embarrass". She's a real piece of work. Nick is gone. He was in there with her for a month. Daniele is HOH so she can't be evicted next week. After next Thursday, there will only be 9 people in the house....which makes up the final 2 and the jury of 7. That means Nick will be newly famous from his month in the house, still sexy as hell, out in the world with thousands of horny fans ready to do him in a heartbeat. Daniele will be in the sequester house so he won't see or hear from again for TWO more months. (She'll never make it to the end.) Nick could easily fall in love two more times before Daniele even gets out! Here's hoping that he realizes he can do a LOT better now that he's out of that dysfunctional environment! ----------- Edited to add - sorry I went off topic.........uh...maybe he'll run into the bf while he''s on a date with some new girl!

I believe that if any of us had a friend in a situation like Dani is in with the "what are these feelings that I am feeling for this guy when I am in love with this other guy" that we would support her whatever she decided. In my way of thinking, a person cannot be stolen away from another person. I don't know how many of the people who are judging Dani are around the same age as her but us older more wiser people know that life isn't always what you think it is and neither is love.

Well, I'm old enough to know that true love won't be found in a game that encourages lying, betrayel, and using people. I think Daniele might have real feelings for Nick, but I know that Nick can do a lot better than Dani. She's way too needy. They have no communication. Nick tries to talk to her and she totally clams up or she whines and tells him "I hate you" and spits on him....and don't forget....she voted him out! Thinking showmances are true love is going a little too far. How many successful relationships have come out of BB showmances anyhow? Erika and Boogie's? Will and Shannon's? Boogie and his "fiancee", Krista's?

LOL, Sanfran, my post doesn't say that I think Dani has found true love with Nick. I have never even said that they make a good couple and I don't think Nick is good enough for Dani. He's a big flirt but that doesn't mean they can't be friends. Who am I to say that two people can't find love from a reality show? I don't see it happening but then it's not up to me. BTW, he told her to vote him out and I am glad she did, give her some space away from the hot guy with eyes for her.

I can honestly say that as a young man (or any age for that matter) I would have had a lot of problems watching my girlfriend hide under the covers in a bed with another man. Add the sounds and the whispering and that would only accentuate the problem. Think of how you would feel if your DH did that. It is simply wrong to do if there is someone else that you care about. Letting someone hug or comfort you in the open in a kind caring way is a totally different thing. Also, I'm not sure how Kris' career is totally relevant to Dani's love for him?

"Think of how you would feel if your DH did that. It is simply wrong to do if there is someone else that you care about." Especially on National TV and with 24 hour feeds capturing your every attempt at fondling. Not too discreet. Get a room later.

I think it is funny that some people think that it is not cheating until intercourse occurs. Bah.

They aren't married and we don't know how her boyfriend feels. That is for them to work out, not for me to say if it is wrong or right.

Yes. Everyone has different standards and ideas about what a relationship is all about. I'm just stating how I would feel if I saw my girlfriend do that.

Dani isn't trying to get away with anything that her boyfriend isn't aware of, I don't understand why we have to pass judgement on this young girl. My goodness, you guys would tar and feather me. Dani tugs on my mother strings so I may have to quit responding to some things that are being said but I'll be defending her in my head.

sorry to pile on, but.... I thought it was pretty plain to all of us that Kris (the bf) looked hurt. And why would Dani be crying if she were simply 'gaming' with her bf's blessing? The idea anyway that people in the house who are in committed relationships would engage in romantic relations (sexual kissing etc) to better their chances of winning the $$$ to me is almost a form of prostitution. I'm sure there are people who would be fine with this (after all, there are couples who 'swing' for free ), but I wonder how many couples actually agree to this before hand. My feeling is that the partner at home is usually trusting that their SO in the house may become close with and manipulate someone, but that a certain line won't be crossed. I don't think they expect that their SO will be hot for someone and sneaking kisses under the covers and showering together etc.. You have to ask anyway, how is this ever good long term strategy? It seems to me that this usually ends up working against them - the 'couples' get broken up.
