So they showed Daniele's BF on TV tonight. Aside from the fact that I felt bad for him the way they intercut him saying how he trusts her and her making out under the covers... (That must have hurt him I would think.) Anyway.... So I'm sitting around watching the show tonight with a bunch of people and when they said he would be on the show... I paused it and asked the room... "So knowing what you know about her, and her Dad and her life... what do you expect this guy to look like.?" Well this started an hour-long discussion. It was unanimous that he wouldn't look like Dick. I was sure that he wouldn't be an over 30 stock broker in an Armani suit... But he wasn't there to show her rebellious side to her elderly grandmother. Dating him wasn't to make THAT statement. But for the most part we were all wrong. We couldn't tell if he was overweight or short or really how he dressed in the close shot they used... (it hid a lot of things) but he did look like a nice clean-cut guy who was well-spoken. Had I been in his shoes I wouldn't have given the interview or signed the release. But that's just me. Sadly it looks like this guy is going to get clobbered by what is inevitable. And Dick's comparison between the two suiters didn't put the kid in a good light. I just felt bad for him all around. (And it also shows how wrong everyone can be with all their theories. We all laughed so hard when they showed him, we had to re-wind it to see what he actually said.) Any other human observations about this thing that happened with the BF on the live show tonight?

I think he is going to trust Daniele because of what they have been through together.

The best thing that could happen to that young man is for Daniele to break up with him. He might be heartbroken for a period, but after that he can be thankful that he's not saddled with her <100> or that he ever has to deal with her father. He should run from that relationship as far and as fast as he can.

I had followed a link to Daniele's LiveJournal page and had read a bit of how they met and how much in love she was with him - including a letter she wrote to him explaining her feelings (which was very articulate and endearing) and pictures, etc of him. I think she really loves him and he her - I feel bad for him, but I have hope that she'll come to her senses with Nick and all will be forgiven by Kris. I would really hate to see their relationship fall apart due to Nick (and Dani's) actions in the house.

I would hate for her to end up with any of them. She is too young to make a decision like that. She won't meet the man she will spend her life with for another 8 years.

I was really surprised how chubby he was. Beautiful eyes but yes, he seemed to be about to cry the whole time. The marriage comment seemed 'cue carded' to me.

Tobor, Kris was shown in the first episode, though we weren't properly introduced to his existence. He's not fat or short. Even though most men would look big next to Dani, he didn't look extremely large for one thing. But yeah, you missed the part that Kris was practically on his way to share his life with another woman when he fell for Dani! I don't know either of them enough to make judgements. But I can't help thinking: Maybe there's a reason why everything happen the way they did.

He came across as a real nice guy. I don't see Danielle as being a pouty princess in real life. She is in the BB house and is very young. Their whole existences right now are the game. There is nothing else and it takes on a life of its own....imo the younger players are more affected by this. Anyway, back to the boyfriend, my first thought other than that he seems like a nice guy, was that I hope he isn't watching BB or the feeds, but I don't know how he could not. If I knew someone in that house I certainly would...well, I would anyway...

Tobor said "She is too young to make a decision like that. She won't meet the man she will spend her life with for another 8 years." And this is written where?

Was it just me or did Danielle's boyfriend look like he could be the son of Chris "Peter Brady" Knight?

I got engaged at 19 and am blissfully married at 35. It would have been the biggest mistake of my life to let my soulmate go because I found him when I was 'young.' People say we are the most compatible couple they know - we are very very lucky. ETA: It was sad to see Danielle's bf. He seems a little deluded about the situation. Other than that, he does look like a normal guy, which I guess says something about Danielle. Not surprising that Dick doesn't seem impressed.

Tobor, another 8 years? Not necessarily true. I know quite a few couples who met in their teens, married before 20 and are still happily married 30+ years later. I waited till I was 27/28 to get married the first time and was divorced in less than 3 years.

I don't think any of us can judge from what we've seen when anyone else is "ready" to get married. Tonight Daniele was telling Dick that she left a message before she left because they had planned to go to Disney World in Florida I think for her birthday and she was concerned because Kris had put down a $200 deposit on the trip and that is a lot of money to them and she was really worrying that he would lose the money, so she had asked someone to tell him to try to move the trip to Christmas or something. She also talked about him slipping a sweet note to her into her suitcase, that she held onto and read over and over while she was in sequester. She told Dick she wants to be HOH and get a letter from him. She really hopes the letter would be from him rather than her grandmother. Dick admitted that he'd have rather had a letter from his son Vincent than from his mother. I think he seems nice and normal and the bigger hurt will be when Daniele hears what Dick had to say about him vs Nick.

My parents got married on the Saturday following my mother's graduation from high school. She was 17 and he was 21. We just celebrated their 50th anniversary.

My uncle and aunt met in fourth grade and considered themselves "boyfriend and girlfriend" back then. They're now both in their 60s. Married over 40 years, but together for over 50.

LOL my grandma and grandpa were in the same class when they were around ten. They were married years later but I really wonder about the powerful emotions/ bonding that happens so young. I have no idea how rare it is for that time period.

I met my husband when I was 16, he was a Freshman in college. We were just good friends and hung out all through my highschool years. He was a friend of my best friend's boyfriend. I married him when I was 19. We had our first child when I was 28. We just celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary. I have many friends who married young and are still together. It it your developmental age that makes the difference not how old you are.

Just looked at the screencaps from last night. I don't see where anybody gets that the kid is chubby. Looks fine to me.

In Dick's Head of House Diary blog he left a very nice and caring note for Kris basically telling him not to worry about Danielle and that everything will be fine. He also wrote that Danielle will kill him if she sees it.

I dont really think Dick was disparaging the BF when comparing him to Nick,I think he was comparing the two in "Dani's eyes", how a very young(immaturish) impressionable girl stuck in a house under stressful conditions might see the two.I think back when I was 20 and all the good guys i let get away in lue of someone i deemed more exciting.
