I think the jury's still out on this one...they have a lot of time out of the house to figure it out....

Dani appears to have been spoiled somewhat and has learned to be cunning and manipulative. She had Dick jumping through hoops. Part of me understands why..she's very angry at him; however, she's very good. I don't really see her changing a lot as she gets older. This is how she's learned to cope in life and as long as it works for her, she'll continue this behavior. From everything Dani has said, she sees her Grandmother as her "parent" and doesn't really view her mother or father as parent figures.

interesting dynamic tonight between DD - think this experience has been good for them - like team building exercises gone EXTREME ... they are learning more about each other and how to deal when necessary with each other - tonight they shared a victory and they were happy together - for a moment - after the show I predict that they will have some kind of relationship - not as much as ED would like - maybe a bit more than D would like - but they will probably be talking if only on ocassion - Team Building Extreme version...

So does anyone think it is even a possibility that Daniele will return the favor and use the veto on Dick tonight? She could, and would know that she is totally safe. Will she? I say no way.

I think their relationship at this point is far from a success. I think it has improved a lot though,from the way it was when he showed up at the house.

I didn't think that she could use it on anyone but herself or not use it at all ala Marcellus. I think that daughters at this age are much different than sons at this age. My son is this age and he would do anything for my husband and I. I must add that he and I have always had a wonderful relationship. My husband is his step dad who was recently diagnosed with ALS, but he and my son are very very close. When he found out about about Dad, I saw him cry for the first time since he was about 6. I am a very lucky woman!

If I remember correctly, ED took Dani off when he won POV. I really do believe that ED would give anything for his daughter and Dani would do anything for Dani.. She seems very self centered and yes, a very unhappy girl. She still has a lot of growing up to do. I hope when she gets out of here she will watch a lot of the tape and finds out how her dad really feels about her. I would love to see the relationship work out.

I hope they work out their problems. And I hope I never have to see or hear about either one of them again after this show is over...

There has been an interesting evolution in D&D's relationship in the house. Dick has learned that the only relationship he can have , in the house, must be completely in her terns. She has him totally whipped. The first few weeks he treid to reconcile and she flatly refused to discuss any of their outside life on air. She had a few outbursts but that is all they were. SHe really held it all in and he finally got the message and backed off. She let it be known that she would take absolutely no critism from him and he finally caught on and did that only off camera. When he lost it a couple of times he yells that it is like being with an ex-wife and she is such a "you know what". She tells him if they were not on the same team she would have probably left the house rather than be treated by him how he treated others such as Kail and Jen. SHe then added that she would not have given him a reason but in his mind, for all the disrespect she showed him, he would have had plenty of reason. So, Dani has run and manipulated this relationship to get her to the end. How it plays out after is anyones guess. I don't think she appreciates how he rants and tears people apart when he is angry and has confessed that he has done that to her and her brother when they were younger. If he doens't tow the line out of the huse, she will cut him loose again.

I have a feeling Daniele is going to cut Dick loose, Missyb. But in all honesty, I would too. Thankfully, I have never had a person like Dick in my life and I never plan to. Game or no game, I believe we have seen a lot of who Dick really is. JMHO!

The only thing I don't like about where the Dani/Dick relationship is going is the fact that Dick's total support of getting Dani to the win will cheat his son of any benefits of the "family" win. If Dick was to win, I see both his children benefiting from the winnings... unfortunately...Dani acts too self centered to think of that...

I absolutely loved how Daniele took her father off the block tonight. Naturally, she wasn't at risk, since it was a foregone conclusion who would be voted out, but it was a symbolic move. And I think an important one. I think they are still going to have their moments, but they have shared a lot in the house. Her running straight into her father's arms when she won the POV is pretty telling. I think they'll work things out and will be friends. And not mean friends, either!

I loved it too Costacat. I know some are saying its jury strategy but I see it for what it is. Very sweet of her, I think Dick was touched.

Dani annoyed me when she threatened not to talk to her dad for another two years if he kept it up. That was a nasty little power play that showed me a lot about her character. I was not amused.

I saw it as joking too, and I am pretty sure she was told to add that in from the diary room.

I think they've worked very well as a team, and hopefully it will lead to a stronger relationship outside the house. I wish them all the best.
