Respectfully I said you can win BB with no morals at all. It's not against the rules. Dick and Dani did that. It's too bad people are mad but that is the way it is. I never wanted the game to turn into a morality play so I'm happy. Every year it seems some want to apply the board rules to BB. They don't have those rules. Of course liberals have rules but that also doesn't mean D/D have to live by them either. All they had to do was win and they did.

I don't think it's any indication of society being accepting of this type of behavior. I think it's kind of like Will and Janie. Everyone loves a love story....and while this isn't boyfriend and girlfriend type love...it IS a love story. It's just VERY onesided. MOST of us who have lost our parent....especially those of us who lost them in your younger adult yrs, want to see this work. The relationship is warped for sure, but I and many others can see the love for Dani that her dad exudes. She just needs to open her heart and realize the world does not revolve around her. I just hope she doesn't discover it too late. It happens too often. I guess some of us just see past the harsh story to the softer story beneath it all. Like with last season, hope springs eternal.

Do we know what the AP vote is/was? And do the Donatos find out about Eric the same time as the Jury House?

That's a sweet way of looking at it, Sabbatia. Thanks for sharing your viewpoint.

Dani may never like her dad. It's possible. I'm just glad nobody else took F2.

I'm curious as to why it is more important to you that no one else took F2 than it is that Dani and Dick repair their relationship? I'd be interested to hear why.

Nycsoho, she may not ever like her dad, but you can't buy time, so the time they spent together this summer is priceless...whether she ever realizes it or not.

Folks, we've been moderating this thread all day. If you can't take the hint and stop making it personal, we'll just close it. Or we'll start suspending people. Just remember to post your own opinion about the HGs and do NOT say ugly mean things about other posters who don't agree, either way.

It's fine that you want them to find each other and have a relationship. I don't have either of my parents and haven't for over 25 years. I'd love to see Dani & Dick have a good relationship but I don't know that that is going to happen. They need some serious counseling for that, not a cutthroat reality TV show in front of millions of viewers. I actually think their relationship would have a better chance if money wasn't involved. I think this money will cause more problems than it will solve. They didn't need to win this to have a true fairy tale ending.

I think it is nice too. It would be nice to know they could finally get along. We really don't know what started the seperation. Dani could have very serious reasons for her avoidence of Dick. I'm glad however that none of this interferred with the game and they are F2.

Sky, I had such a close relationship with my Dad, that it truly saddens that everyone can't have that kind of relationship. I know there is no magic bullet here. Like I said, Dani is going to have to open her heart and realize it's not all about her, but they got SOMETHING out of this summer besides just money. It's like I said, money can't buy time. I'm hoping the money helps instead of hurts their relationship....it probably won't, but hope is a good thing. Beneath that rough exterior of Dicks, I see the soft side...the side that is capable of loving someone no matter how ugly they act toward them. Sure, he gets frustrated with her, but he still loves her. BTW, I DO turn off the spitting. Can't handle it....and I've turned off some of the tirades. I don't have to like everthing about him in order to like him.

I like Dick but I saw him kind of demanding Dani interact with him and you just can't demand that of a 21 year old daughter. She may never want to be close.

When I was mentioning that the instant vote in case Eric got HOH on the FF was mostly people on the east coast I didn't mean anything about liberal or conservative I was thinking more that a some of the people (Zach, Dani, Dick) from the west coast and more likely they have more fans that would have liked to vote to benefit them. A lot of people do vote for the people who live in their area much like they root for a football team that is in their area. I don't feel that Dick and/or Dani played a game of no morals any more or less than any of the others. Some of us feel Dick was more honest than some others. Dick even gave advice to Jen and to Kail that could have benefitted them in the game if they had taken it. Dicks method of delivery and execution of him "game" pushed the limits of the game and exploited peoples weakness but it was not against the rules of the game.

I have been reading Dani's live journal...she started it when she was 15, very interesting, and she really seemed to love her boyfriend....anyways...here is a quote of hers Realization: I'm that girl. The girl who always gets far and comes so close, but is never good enough. I'm that girl.

That's soooooooooooo fruuuuuuuuuustrating and so unfaaaaaaaaaaair. LOL. Poor thing. Always the bridesmaid. Wait a sec. Let me check. I think there's a tear in my eye. No, really. Teenaged girls love to feel sorry for themselves, especially over teenaged boys. I wouldn't take it as some sort of profound revelation at that age.
