Thanks for the link Ivory_mist. Watching the after interview you can see what part of Dick and Dani's problem is. Dani is a very private person but Dick just insists on telling her business. LOL even Julie said she was talking to Dick cause Dani would tell anything.

Dick needs to learn to keep his mouth shut and let Dani do her own talking and allow her to keep private what she wishes to keep private.

A friend that doesn't know when to keep their mouth shut is not much of a friend and when a "parent" does it...well, it will continue to cause problems.

Interesting to see Julie call Daniele out about going into the house having a boyfriend. And Daniele saying she doesn't know where things stand with her and Cris because she hasn't had a chance to talk to him yet. This right Dick saying Nick is moving to OC.

Boy, Julie was dying to know about the Dick/Dani issues.And, from the audition process the pretty much knew they would be on the show together.

At least the interviewer seems to have actually watched the show and had some pertinent questions. I would prefer that to someone who had no idea whatsoever of who these people are. To me, he just seemed to be excited to be talking to them.

Dick was so happy...so was Daniele. Good to see them out and enjoying themselves.

Nick was cute. I believe he does have midwestern values that may serve Daniele well.

I enjoyed all the interviews.

Julie is hysterical in the internet interview. It is definately worth a viewing. She is talking mostly to Dick because he is such a blabbermouth.

I thought it was funny when Julie started asking Daniele about Nick and she said, "I can neither confirm nor deny", so Julie turned to Dick for his take. Daniele whined that she thought the question was directed to her and Julie told her she knew she wasn't going to answer. Good stuff.

Thank you Rbk10 for the link to the interviews. I enjoyed watching them. I wish Carol would have been in the house longer. She seems like a really nice person and it would have helped balance out all the negativity.

I think that is a long time problem in their relationship...Dick just cant stop spilling the beans. Thats why Dani told him "I think that question was directed to me" and then Julie said she knew Dani wasn't going to tell that is why she was now talking to Dick.

Very telling!

Dick managed to get in one more slam at Jen. Sad. Maybe one day he will get over her.

I look for their "happily ever after" to last about 6 months.

I doubt it will last 6 weeks. Hope I'm wrong but it seems like Dani has a lot of maturing to do.

Here's an OT question: Anyone know what causes some young girls to have that voice quality that Dani has? Sort of baaa-ing words (like sheep)? Is it physical, learned, or peculiar to an area? I've noticed it in quite a few young women recently and find it very annoying and unattractive.

Slug Interview With D&D

The Slug: Congratulations. How does it feel?

Daniele Donato: It feels really really good. We wanted Final Two and that's what we accomplished. Either way, it doesn't matter. We both won. It couldn't have turned out any better.

The Slug: How did your strategies change when you realized you were both in the house?

Dick Donato: We started working together. It was funny because, in the Final Four, both Jameka and Zach asked me when we started working together. I told them: "Remember when we went into the bathroom after the first hour of being in the house? Then." We both started working together immediately. We were both finalists in season six with the secret partner thing. I whispered to Daniele to go back to that kind of strategy and work together. We had something that no one in the house had, which was total and complete trust that we wouldn't turn on each other.

Daniele Donato: The other thing, too, was I remember in the bathroom the first night being there that I was very upset about him being there. I told him I don't know what's going to happen with this - as in our personal life - but I'll have your back, if you have mine, and let's focus on the game 'cause we're both here for a reason.

The Slug: Do you think being in the "Big Brother" house helped reconcile your relationship?

Daniele Donato: I was in the house with all these liars, deceit and manipulation and trying to deal with that on top of working with my dad. We're complete night and day. Personal stuff did come up. It was so hard.

Dick Donato: We had a harder time that anyone else in that house.

Daniele Donato: Yeah, especially on an emotional level.�

The Slug: Daniele, do you think you could've won if your father wasn't in the house?

Daniele Donato: Honestly, I said this numerous times. I don't think I would be in the Final Two if I didn't have my dad to help me. I don't know his opinion, but I don't think he would've been in the Final Two if I wasn't there to help him. It was amazing teamwork. We stuck together. That's how we made it.

The Slug: How would things had gone if Nick had still been in the house?

Daniele Donato: (Laughs.) Oh dear. More fun for me because I hated everyone else in the house. It would've been nice having a friend in the house. It would've been easier to have someone I could talk to and that cared about me and that I cared about rather than all these different people with all these phasads. I wouldn't change anything for the world. It's the butterfly effect. If one thing changed, I might not be sitting in the Final Two.

The Slug: So what happens now with Nick, your boyfriend and your personal life?

Daniele Donato: I don't know what's gonna happen. I just got out of there. There's a lot to talk about. There's a lot to take into consideration. I heard somebody from Minnesota is moving out to Orange County. There's no way I would want to lose contact with Nick. Quite honestly, he's one of the best friends I've ever had. We'll see what happens.

The Slug: So you're saying there's a possibility you'll have a relationship with Nick?

Daniele Donato: I can neither confirm nor deny.

The Slug: Dick, what's the number one thing that contributed to your win?

Daniele Donato: You better say me.

Dick Donato: Oh, yeah. Daniele. (Pauses.) I think the ability to change. You kind of have to be able to go with the wind and use whatever or whoever is available at the time. That was using the LNC, using Zach, using Jen at one point, aligning with Eric and Jessica and basically owning Jameka at the end of the game.�

The Slug: What do you think the game would've been like for you without Daniele?

Dick Donato: It would've been much harder. Look at the people I was with. Who the hell was I gonna trust? Eric, who was America's Player and talked all kinds of shit behind my back? Finding one person you can totally trust from beginning to end, I felt was key to the game. Walking down the stairs into the den of lions and seeing Daniele there, I knew I had that person. Daniele turned out to be one hell of a competitor. When we needed to win, we won.

The Slug: Dick, you were very combative in the house. Many viewers called some of your remarks sexist, homophobic and racist. How do you respond to that?

Dick Donato: Hell week, as I like to call it, was the second time Daniele and I were on the block together. The entire house had turned against us for trying to get Eric out of the house. Dustin's comment "How's the house gonna be with your daughter gone?" kinda sent things home with me that I needed to do what I needed to do to keep Daniele in the game and push her forward. I was more than willing to get evicted by my actions. I had to make everyone in that house hate me with such a passion. The personal had to outweigh the strategic. I did what I had to do. Anybody who doesn't like it, oh well. The same people I made comments about voted for me to win the game.

The Slug: Right. Why do you think they voted for you instead of Daniele?

Daniele Donato: 'Cause they hate me.

Dick Donato: I think I got a lot of credit for a lot of the strategy, which I think I got too much credit for. I think they saw me getting my hands dirty. They never minded it when it was Jen or Kail or Mike. When I had to turn on them is when we became the bad people. We know how some of those good people's comments have created a backlash in their own life. They're not as good as they thought they were.

The Slug: Some viewers thought you should have been kicked out of the house for your confrontation with Jen or the coded letter you received from your son. What do you think about that?

Dick Donato: Jen came after me. I blew smoke in her face, but she came after me. Oh well. If I would've done that to her and had been swinging around her head, you can bet that I would've been kicked out of the game. It wasn't even talked about. It wasn't even mentioned. If the situation was reversed and I did that, I would've been in the Diary Room, and there would've been major, major problems. But not one thing was said about it. All that was brought up was that she ate when she was supposed to be on slop. As far as the coded letter, it was something Vince and I had talked it. There was nothing really in there. And by the time the letter even arrived, it was five weeks after the fact and wouldn't have mattered, anyway.

The Slug: Kim from Wisconsin wants to know why you were obsessed about Daniele taking vitamins.

Dick Donato: That's when Daniele was on slop. Daniele did not do well on slop at all. I wanted to make sure she was at least getting the vitamins that she needed. It wasn't an obsession. I was just trying to be a dad.

The Slug: So what are y'all going to do with all that money?

Dick Donato: I think we're both taking trips, for sure.

The Slug: Together?

Daniele Donato: Separate.

Dick Donato: We'll meet up for dinner in some countries.

Daniele Donato: Oh, will we?

Dick Donato: Yeah, I think we will. We'll take separate vacations, but will we be meeting up around the world. I would definitely like to show Daniele some of Ireland and England.

The Slug: Now I know the rules state you can't give Daniele any money, but what about presents?

Daniele Donato: Duh!

Dick Donato: Absolutely. Daniele's college I am, without a doubt, taking care of. We'll have to talk about a car.

Loving the interview Julie Chen had with them this morning, she is really holding them accountable and asking some tough questions.

Holly, good question about Dani's voice -- I'd like to know about Jess's. When she's answering a question on camera, she talks in the same way my 5 year old does when she's doing a show and tell. It's this nasally monotone sound and it drives me batty. I tell my 5 year old to just talk like normal. I can't even really describe what she does, but Jess did it last night when talking to Julie.

Yup. And it worked! And he's got a point... if that had been him standing over Jen waving his hands around and swatting at her, he'd have been out on his rump. And the "coded letter"? Not an issue. As we've said.

Both Daniele and Dick are very articulate. I'm listening to the CBS Web interview right now. And I don't think Julie's questions are that tough... she's actually interviewing them and letting them talk.

Thanks Jenhavins.

Dick is already doing a revisionist version of what happened. Everytime he is asked about his vile behaviour he refers to "Hell Week"..his vile behaviour started long before "Hell Week". His sharing with Jen what he would like to do to her annaly till she bleed was long before "Hell Week".



I expected no less.
