In the LIve Screencaps thread from last night (3:22 a.m.), Sunshyne made a notation that Dick wondered if his apartment had been broken into while he was gone for the past three months. Dani replied that "Grandma" was going to check on it. Now, how could she possibly know that. She didn't know her dad was going to be in the house, right? Yeah, right......

knowing that one family member will probably look out for another = forknowledge? I can safely predict right now that if my sister left town for two months that my mom would look in on her house. And, no, I don't need to know about my sister leaving before hand to know that.

So your theory is that that statement does not mean that she knew? I didn't hear it, so I don't know the context or inflection. I don't know if it was one of those "oh, I"m sure grandma is going to check on it" or one of those "oh, remember? grandma was going to check on it" kind of moments. Wondering if anyone else heard it and can enlighten?

I heard the conversation myself this morning. Dick wondered if his apt. was o.k. Daniele asked him if he was having anyone check on it. Dick replied "your Grandma" and Daniele said, "I'm sure Grandma will check on it then."

Awww....see, I knew it would be clearer based on hearing it rather than reading it. Just goes to show you that a lot of what we read is completely up to our interpretations, and things could be totally wrong. The Live Feed snipit wasn't written like that at all (no offense to the cappers, it's my favorite part of this board), but clearly pertinent info was left out.

Based on what Catwoman says, the only thing that Dani knows is that if grandma says she's gonna do something, then she'll do it.

Agreed. It just didn't read that way in the LIve Feed Screencaps. I stand corrected.

I agree Ace- and had the same reaction when I first read it- but assumed it could be explained the way it was. I think they "did" have some contact though- maybe not as contrived as the conspiracy theories- but I think there have been statements about them seeing each other at the call-backs or whatever. Also- someone else mentioned Dick said he messged her on myspace about going to the show..???....

I believe early on, there was a time when he slipped and said he knew for 3 months prior that he was going in. Also, their first meeting in the house, in the bathroom. I was suspicious about their convo there, and have watched it several times. Can't put my finger on it but I believe that they had a plan long before going in. I think CBS set it up that way. This game was well thought out before they went in. JMO.

last night while they were having dinner, Dick said to Dani that he knew if he made it on the show that she made it too. I guess cause they saw each other at a casting call? He also said earlier in the day that they had talked to each other on myspace about it. I think they both knew it was a strong possibility (maybe based on questions they were asked about their relationship?) I'm sure if he saw her at a casting call he probably mentioned it to the producers during an interview. He's been trying to get on this show for years - and possibly saw it as an advantage.

Over on the Jokers site in the Updates on 9/12 at 11:55pm it states...Dani admits they knew each other would be there(her and Dick) and that Joe/Dustin knew and Carol but Jess didn't. Also states this in Jokers Discussion thread at 11:53 pm on 9/12. They must have talked about this last night but there was no one doing live feeds here at the time.

Ace well...his apartment has been "broken into" lolol, his son is living their with a friend right now without Dick's knowledge....but seriously, my view on any comment the Donatos refer to, is that they both have said and inferred different things that I have no doubt in my mind that they both knew. To what extent is not totally clear, but I felt a long time ago, they knew.

Actually, my feeling is so what if they got a feeling through the casting process that they were going to be in the house together. Why does that matter since they had no idea why BB was casting the way that they were. From what I have heard from their discussions, reading feeds etc is that they did not have a conversation before hand plotting out how they were going to play the game together and what strategy were they going to use. Trust me, if they did, then Dick would be talking about it as the man holds nothing back.

They did know each other were going to be in the house beforehand. Right at first they talked about talking on their Myspace's. Yeah..they DID know beforehand both were going in the house. Absolutely! Yep, Jokers: Wed 11:55 PM BBT Dani admits they knew each other would be there (her and Dick) and that Joe/Dustin knew and Carol but Jess didn't

Why does it matter?? Because BB said they didn't know the other were going to be in the house. It was a surprise! Go figure BB trying from the beginning to fool us as they did all Summer. Hello!

Dicks son is living there thru no fault of his own, and I am sure Grandma knows Dad would have NO problem with his son being there. And if they knew or guessed before going in that the other would be there? What does it prove???

I would also be highly suspect that BB would let ANY HG know, three months in advance, that he/she was gonna be in the house. The HG may suspect that they've gotten thru all the rounds, but I don't think they are gonna know for sure until right beforehand.

Nonetheless, the least they will recieve is the hundred thousand and the stipend. Dani and Dick will both get a new place to live.

But it was only conjecture on Dick and Dani's part. I don't think BB came right out and said to them that they were going to be on the show. We would have heard about that. I concede they have talked about seeing each other through the casting process etc. And when you take someone's quote about the conversation it is just the writers interpretation (which is usually slanted depending on who you like in the game - which is natural and we all do it without even trying). I've heard that conversation as well and I lot was left out.

The only problem I have with it is not with them but with the show. The first night they made it sound like none of them knew. And the Houseguests also acted surprised. I can see why. They did not want the other houseguests to know. But Dani went off in the bathroom area and cried and carried on. If she knew he was going to be there, then why the big scene? To garner sympathy from the others. Just a feeling of distaste, I guess.

I think when Dani got in the house and didn't see her Dad there that she probably thought YEAH my worse fear didn't happen. Then BOOM, 2 days later here comes her dad. It's like finding out good news and then later finding out it was a lie.
