Yes, I'm actually starting a thread. I don't think I've done that since my first season on the Board. But we seem to need this for the pairs with pre-existing issues. Feel free to put your D & D (and no I don't mean Dungeons and Dragons) discussions in here.

How do Dick and Dani seem to be doing? Are they communicating at all on a somewhat normal level, are they still stressed, or are they avoiding each other altogether? (PS I'll start one on Joe and Dustin, too, but I really couldn't care less about the two beauty queens and their fie dolla fit).

Dick is concerned about Danielle's weight, he told someone to make sure she eats.

She really is too skinny, she really looks unhealthy skinny

She's certainly very sharp-boned, but her dad's in his 40's and (if memory serves) is still thin, so maybe it's a genetic thing?

Right now they seem to be getting along just fine. Of course, they could be avoiding the elephant in the room. The main reason they weren't talking.

I wish BB would have stayed on Dick when he was explaining the custody situation of Daniele and his son.

Daniele is thin, but her brother is also.

I, too, was wondering what their interaction was like after a week in the house together. It is weird to me that they have gone this long without talking! I can't stand to have stuff left between me and another person so I would have already exited the house or else called for a come-to-Jesus meeting.

She is thin!

Spy, are they still not talking? If so, I think Dick needs to grow a pair and initiate what is apparently going to be a very uncomfortable talk with his daughter. I would surmise at this point that maybe he isn't in favor of their issue being published all over the net, and that's understandable. But don't go on a reality show if you don't want your cobwebs being swept out of the closet.

Unless it's something really bad (and I hope CBS wouldn't have cast them if it was), Dick should use the opportunity to reconnect with his daughter (she's really too young to push the first step herself).

Didn't Dick say there was some email between them? GAL, I have to hope that if the problem was something extremely sensitive that even BB wouldn't put them together for ratings. Of course, they put Cowboy and Nakomis in together, and that was pretty tacky in my opinion!

Dick said he'd been emailing Daniele for the past two years, but it didn't sound like she would email him back.

GAL, make sure you check the Vincent thread as well.
I think we cover some of these over there as well. Not that you shan't start a thread :-), just didn't want to be Spamming!

Vincent is Evel(w/"E") Dick's son, Dani(one "L") is his younger sister. He's been "talking" on Sucks under the name of "Vactory" since before the show started.

Chy, I saw his thread over at Sucks and I decided to pay him no mind since he doesn't post at the greatest BB fanclub ever, TVCH. Figured I'd lean into the strike zone and take one for the team, as it were.

I don't think the rift between them is so bad. I think its all for game. They applied together for BB6.

this is all bogus. It is for the show. Dani and her dad just had a "jason and Dani BB2" passing convo meet.

they have agree to talk later as they were in the yard.

Dick is pretty worried that they were together at the Same Audition.

I havent checked live feed posts yet but I gather someone in the house must have seen them together??

ED said on the first ep. that the rift was more on her end, and that he e-mailed her regularly.

I don't think there is really what you could call a "rift" between them. IMO I think it's more a young Dani choosing to live her own life the way she sees fit & her Dad's lifestyle in her mind is not the way she intends to live her own life. I don't think there is really any bad blood between them though. After all, they were raised by the same "parents".

I'm still not clear about what caused the problem between them. But Daniele is clearly so unhealthy to me, and has such deep and commanding body issues, and speaks with a little child's voice--I just can't help suspecting that something very dark and very damaging happened to her in the past.

I really hope Dick didn't do it to her, and if he did, I would hate to see a meltdown/reckoning on this show.

I've worked in a hospital that had an eating disorder group that would meet thru their Psychiatry ward.

Danielle is smaller than some of the people who would come.

the poor girl has no muscles/ tone. She is on slop this week so maybe she has lost a quick ten lbs. Erika was looking skeletal at one point as well.

I sure hope the producers realized those possibilities, Bastable, and had her examined by a mental health practitioner...and not just a standard "pencil-paper" assessment check. I suspect they didn't and that you are right.

I don't think it is bogus at all.
I do think there are issues between them, more so on Dani's part.
And I do think someone in casting messed up big time having them both show up the same day.
I also don't think they knew for sure until they got in the house that the other one was there as well.

Sigh
It really bothers me when people see someone as thin as Danielle and makes all these comments that she's unhealthy, and has body issues, and whatever.
You don't know the story, so you really shouldn't say.
Her father is very thin.
Apparently, her brother is also thin.
So, it is possibly in her genes.
Also, I have known several people in my life who were very thin.
3 of them were "premies."
2 of those had various minor issues from being a "premie," but none of them had issues related to their weight.
My best friend from high school/college was a guy who was about 4" shorter than me. When we would hang out, he would put away 3 or 4 Big Macs, while I would eat one...if I finished it.
I outweighed him by 50 pounds at the time, and by 140 pounds last year.
I'm one of those people that all my life, I would eat little and still gain weight...even my mother still talks about it and doesn't know why.
This guy had 2 other brothers and ate more than both of them combined yet was always thin (but not skeletal.)
Last time he and I were talking, I told him how I lost 70 pounds recently. He weighs 10 pounds more than he did in college, and some of that was muscle weight from weight training.
So, just because someone is very thin it does not mean that they are "unhealthy" or "has body issues." Just like some people are genetically predisposed to be heavier, some people are predisposed to be thin.
If Danielle weighed 300 pounds, would the same people who are all over her for being "unhealthy" or "having body issues" be posting the same things about her? I doubt it.
People tend to criticize people who are fat as well as thin just for being the size they are.
It's wrong either way.
Fat people can be healthy, so can thin people.
At my heaviest, I still had good blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and cholesterol levels.
All of those have improved dramatically since I lost 70 pounds, but I was never "unhealthy." I hardly ever got sick or went to the doctor.
Yes, many people who are obese are unhealthy and have issues. So do people that are just overweight. The same can be said for very thin people. But just because she's thin doesn't give anyone the right to post that she's unhealthy and has body issues.
She has family that can read these boards, and I doubt they'd appreciate people saying those things about her without knowing her or her situation.

Darclyte, I have to agree with you. I got comments like that all my life - people speculating that I had some kind of eating disorder. I did not, I just had a very high metabolism, was very tall, and very thin.

Certainly when someone is very thin, just as when someone is very overweight, it's important to ask the questions; but to be careful about jumping to conclusions.

Valid points, Darclyte, and we'll all do good to remember there are always more factors to consider.

My own comments are based on more than the way she looks. She has already commented that she is worried about her own weight.

ETA: Good point about not jumping to conclusions, Kar.

I also don't think they knew for sure until they got in the house that the other one was there as well.

kale, very little was said but Dick made a comment about how others IN the house know that they were there together. someone must have seen them there.


Just like some people are genetically predisposed to be heavier, some people are predisposed to be thin

there is a huge difference between thin and Gaunt. Dick appears gaunt due to chain smoking and Presumeably, from his own words, partying.

Erika was slim, Diane was slim, Danielle is gaunt in appearance.

No one would have called Heidi Survivor 'healthy thin" when she was 90lbs on the show. I'd be shocked if Danielle weighed more than 105 lbs.

but I do think she looks dehydrated and she commented on being so thirsty/hungry for real food.

Do remember I am just theorizing, Not making hard solid comments as to a person and what they are about.

I often think people get mad at me because they dont know I'm theorizing.

Wasn't it Danielle discussing an issue with her teeth? That particular issue with the spots coming and going is a calcium issue. This is a different thing than the antibiotic spots. The reason it caught my attention is because certain animals when malnourished have this same problem...not only in their teeth, but in their nails and hooves. She is definitely not healthily thin.
