I believe what they both have stated.. she didn't come into the house expecting to bond strongly like she did and he came into the house expecting to flirt with all the girls and instead fell for her. I think they might be friends after the house, depends partly on where he'll be living, too. As for Daniele's boyfriend, they have to work it out, or not, between them.

btw, if it's true that Kris was engaged when he started up his relationship with Danielle, I guess that might indicate that he is not Mr Nice Guy, huh? I still think after this week that Nick's feelings for Dani were genuine. I bet he'll be hurt when he discovers that she voted him out (not Eric, lol).

Strong relationships can endure The BB game and all sorts of other road blocks. Chris said something like that Dani warned him not too take her actions in the house seriously...something like that. If they have true love this little Nick business will be but a blip. It's a good thing that Chris broke off the engagement when he met and fell for Dani. Lots of people feel stuck and wouldn't fess up to finding someone else. Once you are engaged or even married doesn't mean you can't find someone else. It hapens all the time....it's the nature of the beast. But don't stay in the old relationship out of some sort of obligation....that isn't good for anyone involved.

My cousin's husband of 12 years just told her that he met someone else and is leaving her & their 2 daughters. I see that this apparently works for him, but how is this better for everyone involved? What is the meaning of 'commitment' if there is no obligation or intention to honor it? My husband promised to love me until death do us part - not until he finds someone he likes better. I appreciate that people can make mistakes, and people change, etc... but if anyone honestly feels no obligation whatsoever to REALLY try to honor their commitment, they shouldn't be making one, imo. I've been married for 13.5 years btw (after a 2.5 year engagement)

"If they have true love this little Nick business will be but a blip." I disagree. Daniele's behavior is saved forever. Chris will be able to pop it in the DVD player whenever he has the urge. That relationship is toast.

I've been married over 2 decades and trust me if my husband no longer loved me I certainly would want to know. I don't want to live out the rest of my life with someone who loves someone else. It's sad when marriages end especially for the children. But if kids don't see a love relationship between their parents...well that is plain sad. But I don't think that Dani and Chris are in this situation. She played the BB game and connected with Nick for a short time. And she always referes to him as a good friend....not lover or mate or life partner. She does however speak of Chris in those ways. I doubt anyone regardless if you have kids or been married a long time want their one time mate to fake love for the kids...that's pathetic and a waste of a life.

Chris may pop in the tape...ok...but if he does do that then Dani has to cut him loose because he wouldn't be the man she thought he was. Popping in that tape would be saying he doesn't trust Dani's love and poor him then. But for me....ever the optimist about love I would say that Chris realized her love and also that she (for a short time) used Nick to get closer to a chance for the $$$$. My husband does a lot of meet and greet after gigs and girls are usually all over him and all the band members. They get all sorts of notes and propositions. Part of their "job" is to encourage their support. I understand that. And this has been going on for 2 decades. If he's a cheat then he'd cheat no matter what. But since it's part of the "gig game" I'm not insicure...nor should Chris be.

If Daniele really cared about Chris, she wouldn't have been in bed with Nick. It's that simple. She wouldn't have done it in his presence, so she shouldn't have done it on national TV, preserved forever on DVD. It's not that difficult for me to see. If they ever have kids, let's hope they don't pop it in the player instead of Dora.

I doubt that when Daniele warned him about her actions in the house included her sharing a bed with an "All American Hunk", telling another guy she wanted to kiss him (if she didn't indeed kiss him), etc.. I'm sure she meant something more along the lines of lying, cheating, etc.. Unless Chris believes he can't do any better, I don't see the relationship lasting (at least from my perspective). Then again, I don't know their relationship rules/boundaries and maybe they don't mind this "extramarital" behaviour.

Daniele can always say... "At least I didn't have sex with him, Darling." Somehow, I don't think that will be good enough.

I see once again I am not with any majority. I guess since I have such a long term and healthy relationship I think that others do too and that Dani kissing on and cozying up with Nick in the context of the BB game is nothing. But again thats just me and I'm looking at it through the eyes of winning the $$$. And sorta of a con/faux relationship created in the BB house. I don't think a strong relationship would crumble because of a BB relationship. We all have our own take on things. Time will tell.

We all saw Nick say his game play was to flirt with all the girls. That was until he saw little Danielle as a perfect challenge, inside and outside the house. Her father with an outrageous desire to control the house and daughter. And Danielle herself that said she was in a commited relationship. Nick found out the hard way that sometimes the pin is sharp and you can lose the chance to win a HALF A MILLION DOLLARS. BUT...back to Danielle and her boyfriend. They both know now maybe ED was right, "the boy next door" isn't what Danielle wants. She was so easily enticed by Nick, the muscle man, sweet talker, pretty boy. After she gets out, will she come to the conclusion that she is just settling and dump Chris?

Lilfair, I agree with you in a sense - I wouldn't want 'fake' love either. But I'm sure you are aware that many (or even most) people who cheat on their spouse still feel in with love them. They are simply not honoring their commitment. And some folks I think 'allow' themselves to fall for someone else when life with their partner was good, or could have been good if they put in the effort. I don't know that my cousin was in a loveless marriage. She actually seemed very content to me, and was blindsided. I realize it is perhaps a bit unfair of me to judge, since I don't know what it feels like to have married 'the wrong person' - but in a sense I think that most people are 'lovable.' It's funny to me how most of us can readily love our kids (even adopted) and our pets unconditionally, but some have a tough time doing that with a chosen partner, who presumably has a lot of qualities that appeal to them. Counselling I believe can be helpful in assisting spouses who feel adrift to reconnect.

btw, did you all catch that comment Dani made in her 'goodbye message' to Nick - something like "you mean so much more to me than you realize - BFF" = best friends forever?? that would be another choice clip for Kris to play on the dvr

Funny Sharinia but I took that very differently... I thought if I were Nick I would have taken that BFF to be a "Dear John" goodbye...kinda "Hey your a relly nice guy, but let's just be friends" ... and Kris could look at it the same, rather than Dani saying I will miss you terribly, I can't wait till I see you again... she basically said, See ya

I have never heard of BFF being used that way - I'd always thought of it as a pledge that you will stay very close.. uh, best friends.. forever

I think that only Nick and Daniele know what it means for them. Nick was asked about the LJC thing in interviews and he said it was a secret, so, who knows?

Yup I agree with you Sharinia, plus I never heard it used for someone you met in a month, let alone on a televised show.

According to an interview he did in Entertainment Weekly http://tinyurl.com/326sr4 LJC stands for Little Julie Chen but as to what it actually means, he says it is a secret.

He knows it was Eric that voted him out I believe. I think he understands very well the mentality of going along with the house vote so understands why she had to do it. I think what hurt him more was learning that Amber lied to him when she said she didn't know about him being nominated and then they showed him a clip on Housecalls where she was talking to Dustin saying Nick had to go.

Eric didn't vote anybody out. He pushed to have him voted out. Eric does not get a vote period. AP voted for Kail.
