They have to work up the anger because thats how they compete. They have one more competition. The jury questions. Its easier for them to do this if they are mad at each other.

I think that's the crux of it Jabelljba. Dani doesn't feel like she had a dad. He gave her up to be reared by her grandparents when she was a toddler. He has lived at a distance from her for long periods of time (a year in Hawaii and some time in Europe). We who had present parents were in a very different situation from hers, and we only know a little bit of their story.

Does anyone know where Dani's mom has been all her life? If she should be mad at anyone, I would think her mom would be a place to start.

I did read that Dani's mom is remarried and Dani has a couple of step siblings. I don't think she is in constant contact with her mom but she does see her from time to time.

It is obvious that Dani has no respect for her dad. If she did, she wouldn't talk down to him the way she does.

Things about Dick that is surprising:
1) He cooks and supposedly pretty good at it.
2) He cleans the house.
3) He does the dishes.
4) He can beat Dani at the 2nd HOH despite being a chain smoker and walking out to the BY for the competition with a cigarette in his mouth.

Thanks, Cheeky..I've been wondering. The only thing I heard her say when she was upset with her dad was something about being considered an inconvenience to the other side of her family.

"It is obvious that Dani has no respect for her dad. If she did, she wouldn't talk down to him the way she does."

Dani is a 21 year old girl---how she talks to her father is not abnormal---it ain't nice--but it is not abnormal.
---she has a few years left on being a uppity brat, many girls with this attitude problem grow out of it and become human beings before they hit their 20's--but there are those that hang on to for a few more years

Of course, none of us know the real story. But at 22 years old,with his life turned upside down, Dick did what was in the best interest of both his children. He knew he was unable to provide them with a stable home, he didn't abandon them. He made sure they were being well taken care of. We could argue that he shouldn't have traveled knowing he had 2 toddlers his mom was raising at home, but remember, he was still just a kid himself. He never turned his back on them, even when he was traveling, he was always as far away as the telephone.}

This is splitting hairs, I know, but Daniele turned 22 while in the house. She lied about being 21 to the other house guests.

I have one question, I think the answer is probably obvious.

What would Dani have thought of Dick's "gameplay" if he was a stranger to her. How would she have reacted to his abuse?
She was the one who encouraged his behavior and put up with him because it was her best ticket to the end. Now that the end is here, it appears she's not willing to put up with him anymore.

At this point I think the jury is having a better time. They might not be getting the money at the end, but they are living in a nicer house and not putting up with the abuse. Whereas Dani & Dick still have to put up with each other.

Aurora. Daniele was 20 when she entered the house, she lied and said she was 21.

Carmil, I'm not making a judgment either way on Dick's decisions and parenting. My intent was to look at it from Dani's point of view. All a toddler knows is that her daddy didn't live with her anymore. She wasn't thinking that he did the best he could at the time.

To a child, the fact that he "gave her away", even if it was to a good home, is still abandonment.

I have been watching them for the past couple of days. The few things I have noticed is that she is nice to him when she is:

a) Hungry and wanting something other than sweets.. or

b) when she is bashing former house guests.

Otherwise she is mean as a snake to him. He, on the other hand seems to relish in letting her know he has a life without her. He has friends, a seemingly healthy relationship with his own parent and Vincent. I think she resents those relationship's. If Dick were on bad terms with them as well, then that is something they would have in common and could commiserate over. But that is not the case so she does not want to hear about them. Last night they argued over who knew Dick's mother better, Dani would not let up, and got quite angry with him. I kept waiting for her to say "but grandma loves me more"

I really do not see them going to counseling unless it is her idea, and her that picks the counselor. I just do not see them working this out until she is much older.

I think something that I did not see must have happened with Jen and Dick. Did she do something to him?

Hey Budd. In the first week or so there was some comp in the back yard. Dick bumped Jen, maybe by accident. She cringed and shouted "Don't touch me!". Everybody heard it and I bet it embarrassed him. I think that started it.

During the butter comp she stated she did NOT want Dick touching her (rubbing the butter off into the vat). I think that insulted and embarrassed him and she has been on his sh*t list ever since. I thought it was quite rude myself.

I think Jen said she didn't want the "old guy" putting his hands on her in the butter comp. Right away I was on his side...though I ended up not liking either one. :-(

She did not want his hands on her because of his smoking She was very opposed to it. I don't think one remark caused for his treatment of her for the Entire season {still going on now} was justified

Whatever Jen's reasons (and she stated in DR it was because he was an old man), that doesn't account for that she went to the other girls before the comp started and said "so we're gonna try to not let Dick touch us".
