LOL, tvwatcher! I think you've got that right. Dani couldn't even remember how long she "didn't talk at all" to her Dad. One minute it was 2 years and the next, it was 7 years. I also guess that rule about being at least 21 didn't fit in with the Donato Show plans. Oh well, what's another bent rule in the name of vile entertainment?

Good thing someone thought up the AP thing while simultaneously filling the house with people that can't think for themselves cause I will never understand why (aside from the AP saves) anyone let the strongest alliance in BB history get past the 2nd week much less into the final 4.

Biggest blunder IMO remains the non-use of the veto by Zach to rid the house of Dani. That was one expensive decision.

You've got that right Chippy. That may be one of the biggest blunders in BB history. Too bad Zach was playing for third place.

why does anyone care how long they have or have not spoken to each other? Does it make a difference? The hurt and anger between them 2 was real! I think we should be glad that they have at least healed some of the pain, My sister and I also have Problems with our Dad and sigh I don't remember how long it has actually been since we talked to him! If you ask her she thinks it was maybe 6 months I think it's been longer! I hate seeing anyone's realtionship have problems But I understand how complicated they can be!

If they weren't estranged, then they both deserve Oscars for their performances, because they did an amazing job of acting, for three months, which I don't believe for one minute.
As to the discrepancies re times they weren't in contact, that was because they were estranged on several occasions for different periods, and sometimes they mentioned one or other of those periods, and sometimes they added those periods together for a total of years they hadn't been in contact.
We're making mountains out of molehills again.

If you read her LiveJournal, it doesn't appear they were estranged.

It didn't seem as if they were estranged in her Livejournal, until she was with Kris.

When she moved out of her Grandmother's home and she was all about Kris, it was apparent that she wasn't in contact with her dad or mom (if you knew the backstory while reading).

Leaf if you read her LJ you would see they did have a good relationship, went to movies and dinner but that all stopped in 2005- she just stops talking about him it is all about Kris.

Wasn't part of the problem because he didn't approve of her job?

Ss for the diary room affecting it, remember when BB first came out? It was all about 14 people stuck in a house with no TV, no telephone, with BB in control. In recent yrs, we have complained because BB had NO control. People were disrespectful to BB....and basically the diary room was a joke. This yr they take it seriously again and people cry foul. The AP thing? It was my impression that America was playing the game thru Eric. We have no way to express ourselves to the houseguests....and lets face it, Eric either wasn't picking up what America was throwing down, or he was rebeling against it because he had his own agenda. So....BB may have helped a little. So what? It's their job!

ANYWAY, it doesn't REALLy matter. It's a TV show. We watch it in the summer. The live feeds amuse us. At the end of the day, it's their life, not ours.

Jenhavins or anyone else that knows, is there anywhere that Dani's mom is talked about. I've been wondering what the deal is with her mom and Dick.

Sigh
When they said they "knew" their "enemies" were going to be there was after Julie told them that there were other people in the house who they had "unfinished business" with who would not be playing the first HOH and would be immune from eviction.
Dani knew it was going to be her Dad because they had both tried out for Season 6 and they were currently estranged.
Joe knew it was going to be Dustin because they had recently broken up and both had applied for Big Brother more then once.
Carol didn't know because she was supposedly a last minute replacement for someone else. Jessica mentioned that she barely remembered the fight with Carol, only that they once had been friends. That's why the Carol twist was kind of lame, because it was supposed to have been someone else with more of a real beef with Jessica.
It's too bad that didn't work out, because I bet their would have been some good fireworks and catty behavior.

I remember seeing a post by someone (sorry don't remember where) that had applied for BB and made it to an interview. He said one of the things they kept focusing on was who were you enemies with. What happened and all that jazz.

So I'm sure they had half an idea that it was a possibility for someone to end up in there with them. As thick as I can be at times if I put "Mary" down, even I would think oh crap it's "Mary" when Julie announced the twist.

ITA Darclyte. I wish whoever it was suppose to be for Jessica hadn't dropped out. The Carole story just kind of tanked. I think that is why Jessica was in with the ones that got immunity the first week. Instead of being in the general population of the HG"s. Dick and Dustin were the enemy recruits and had immunity, Carole should have been in that group, not Jessica.

I thought I was going crazy about the years that Dick and Dani didn't speak. I knew I heard her say 7 yrs one time, then later they said 2yrs. Had me confused...lol. More proof that it was in the fix for these people to remain as long as possible. After all they needed that story to pull at the audience's heartstrings. I strongly believe the HGs that said the DR TRIED to persuade them how to vote. Eric being AP helped the game tremendously as well, that way BB could still have some control over the game. They just made the public think they had some say...lol. Also believe many of those vetos that were set in Dani's favor.

I don't believe for one minute they were "Estranged". I do believe that Dani is a bratty princess that doesn't care much for her dad, until she needs something. It's been obvious throughout the game that a lot of their "moments" of him trying to do everything in his power to get in her good graces that this has been the way of their relationship. Vincent is his BUDDY, but he can't reach Dani like that unless he's got something to give her. Anyway, I felt for quite sometime that their whole "story" has been a farce. But i'm sure AG and CBS are happy they got the ending they want. Too much attention was placed on Dick/Dani's relationship to make me feel differently. These were two despicable people, but the home audience(no feeds or ShoToo) was blind to, so they could just LOVE EM'. YUCK!!!!!!!

Dani hadn't spoken to ED for about 5 out of 7 years, with no speaking for the past 2 in a row (since just after they didn't get onto BB6 together...probably one of the reasons why it happened as they were both disappointed.)
It's been discussed a thousand times on this site over the course of the show.
Sigh.

Well, I don't read every thread so I guess I missed that. Bottomline, I don't believe anything thats been told to the audience regardling this family. So it still doesnt change my opinion of the way this game has gone throughout the season. I'm EXTREMELY disappointed that one of my faves has been ruined all in favor of "The Donatos. I still say after all the harrassment that has been spewed from EVEL DICK, he should've been given the BOOT a long time ago.

so she was supposedly estranged after she had her relationship with her boyfriend.

I wouldnt call that "estranged", I'd call it having a steady boyfriend, living with him and having my OWN LIFE.

Dick loves control, we've seen those issues in the house.

a father cant tell an adult daughter living with another man what to do.

as for their theatric arguments, which all took place at strategic times, Even the HGs felt it was exaggerated, possibly fake.

anyone can cry and whine on cue. Doesnt take a professional actor/actress.

It was fake to me because there would be a supposedly Huge fight and Dani and Dick would both be fine and using it as 'bonding' experience with other HGs.

Pure strategy.

however, I will give that they do like to argue. But so what, My family is like the "bickersons" (not sure if anyone here will know what I'm talking about LOL OLD radio Show??)

Their estrangement was confirmed by his son and her brother. They did not live together and they did not speak for the past two years. This last estrangement was over money (Dick loaned Dani some; she didn't pay it back; he handled it badly).

Lately, I have to wonder about the "He handled it badly" part of the loan situation. At this point seeing how Dani treats Dick, maybe he just made the mistake of asking for the money back while she was in a bad mood.

Based on something I read in this thread, couldn't this whole Alice in Wonderland theme be for Danielle? She's Alice. Could this be telling us who will be the winner? You could think of Dick as the White Rabbit.. (just a theory here)

That "loan" story just doesn't ring true IMO. This guy was willing to forfeit a half million bucks for his daughter to stay in the game and yet we're to believe they had a 2 year long (so far) spat over a loan? A loan? C'mon. I was born at night, but it wasn't last night.

We don't know for sure if he was willing to forfeit anything (especially based on Daniele's comments after the jury questioning). We also don't know anything but what Vincent has said. Since he also confirmed the same story that Dick has said, and Dani's sorta skated the issue, I'd say that yes, he loaned her some money, she didn't pay him back, and he wanted it back. Vincent has been pretty forthright about his father and his sister, and I'll choose to believe what he says.

Costacat, We DO know for sure he was willing to forfeit the money. He took Dani off the block with the veto and left himself up there when he was sure he would be evicted.
