Danielle strikes me as a very very spoiled and selfish child who takes out all of her negative energy on the people who care for her the most. I figure these "horrible" things that Dick has done to her in the past are the same "horrible" things that any parent would do, like not letting her have ice cream and cake at every meal. A lot of people grow up without a parent - in fact one of the things that I think is great about Harry Potter is that it shows kids that even if you have no parents or grow up where no one loves you, you can still grow up to be a strong and positive influence on the world. Dani seems to just wallow in the real or imagined slights that have been dealt her.

I think it would be hilarious for Dick to put Amber up in Jen's place and tell her that she's just a pawn like she wanted to be last week.

Chere, I just read the same thing. I couldn't wait to read here, because I thought C1mag would have been all over it and he wasn't here for the Jen/Dick talk! C1mag..you are NOT allowed to go to bed when these important things are happening. Who needs sleep with 3 little ones, lol? I expected a blow by blow play and now I'll have to figure out all on my own if Jen was playing Dick or not. I saw she mentioned Zach going up a few times. Could she, Mike and Kail have devised a plan for it to sound as if she was turning on Kail to get Zach up? Awesome how she gave Dick something to ponder about regarding a possible Daniele, Nick, Dustin, Amber alliance. That ought to make for more paranoia today and Amber just might get what for if Dick decides to go after her for offering herself up as a pawn when he was on the block. She will fall apart.

If anyone actually saw the convo, do they think Dick was sincere about saying Daniele would have to go sometime? Is he so mad at Daniele that he would make a deal with Jen, knowing she wants Daniele out? How did that part of the convo sound?

Good to hear Jameka is finally awake and has noticed Dick isn't always 'consistent.' That seems to be how she is deciding who should stay and who should go. Was she just saying if for Amber's benefit or did she really mean it?

Alisons, while Daniele may be spoiled, she had a right to be upset last night when her Dad went off on people (like Nick) and she was trying to tell him he's causing a lot of tension in the house, which he is. The way he argued with her was more like a teenager than a father. They were trying to one-up each other. If a parent gets to that level, most times they will lose.

It is not fair to the other BB contestants to have these two in the house. This isn't the place to resolve long-standing personal issues. What will Alison G. do next to get ratings?

Exactly, C1. You have to build a strong respectful relationship with your kids long before they are 20. Now, when I see my 20 year old screwing up , we talk, and then he decides what he should do. I may not always agree, but I allow him to be an adult.


Lesleyjack...my daughter (just turned 29) told me one time (when she was about 20) that what she liked the most about me was that I would speak my mind and then leave her to make her own mistakes. That's all you can do once they get "grown" and leave the nest. The more you try to tell them what they are doing wrong, the more they go against you.

I know I am behind here cause I am just catching up on Showtime from last night, but I can't believe how Amber was further damaging Dani and Dick's relationship by telling Dani all the stuff Dick said about her. Amber makes me physically ILL. ACK

It was something, eh, Llwyn? Amber's just rattling off all this stuff, not even thinking about Dick being Daniele's father, not just another HG. However, that's why this house is not the place to fix a failed relationship.

I agree that Amber is one of those people who is drawn to any interpersonal drama and thrives on passing information. She's like an emotional leech. However, I seriously doubt that anything she could say or do would effect Dani and Dick's relationship one way or the other- their problems are too deep and longstanding. They should NOT be in that house together!

I see what some of you are saying about Dani's bad behaviour but I think Dick has helped to create the monster and is paying for his deficiencies as a father. It's important to keep in mind that when people have messed up childhoods the result is often not pretty. You do get the strong individuals who can pull themselves together because they naturally have personalities that help them to cope. Those that don't often end up being miserable adults and Dani is a good example of this. So I would not excuse her bad behaviour but I find it understandable.

I guess if here were any members here up listening to Jen and Dick, they've gone to bed now. I'd like to know too what people thought was happening if there is anyone around who witnessed it.

I may not have phrased myself correctly saying she was further "damaging" the relationship, but I certainly think it was completely out of line for Amber to fan the flames so to speak. After all BB is just a game and Dick is still her dad, no matter how estranged their relationship is. I just found it offensive that she would bash Dick to Dani and almost more offensive that Dani kept eating it up. Personally, no matter what my family problems are, I wouldn't let someone else talk about them that way to me. Just a personal thing, but I found Amber's behavior very offensive.

Llwynn, it was definitely out of line and one of the reasons I'd like to see her out of there.

Kmjm...if you are talking about the youtube video that I just watched with Jen and Dick, I think they have reached some sort of an understanding...not sure what, but something, because they might "need" each other down the line. *shrug* Not too sure what my take on that is since I don't get feeds or showtime only watch what others youtube...and don't even have a lotta time for that! :-(

I agree with you Llw. Everytime I see Amber crying I literally roll my eyes. During the show yesterday they showed her almost crying over Jameeka eating slop lol.

the way Dani treats her dad is just sooo terrible no matter how hard he tries. In the end he's trying to look out for her (Re: Nick)

someone said they shouldn't be in the house together and I agree 100%. I think CBS did wrong with this (Just my opinion).

Excellent post, Kmjm. I am listening to the Jen/Dick convo and I think she may be playing him. She got him to say what he wasn't going to say. Also, he told her if she passed any of this on, he would deny it. Umm..wouldn't that be lying? I'll get a better understanding of it if she talks to Kail today.

LOL @ Dick trying to tell Jen she be safer on his side?? Against who? The tape I listened to didn't have the part where she told him about Amber putting herself on the block as a pawn.

ED is a volatile person. I think BB loves this because it does stir up controversy. I think we can count on ED going < off > everyday. Just like we can count on Amber crying.

llwynn, my brother and i had a very strained relationship in our teen years and on to our adult years. when push came to shove if any one said anything bad about my brother to me i would have told them off and they would have to have two pots to shit in when i was done with them.

Yes, Joyfuld. Watch for him to go off on Amber today for her putting herself up as a pawn. If he does, however, she will come back at him. She's done with him picking on her. It should be something to see.

Regarding Amber fanning the flames, she is only thinking of herself and how all this affects her.

Zachsmom, I couldn't agree more. Our family was a VERY dysfunctional (is there a functional family LOL) and we had a lotta infighting. But if push came to shove no one outside the family could say anything about any of us cause we would ALL band together.

I don't much care for Jen but I must admit I prefer her cool and aloof demeanor opposed to Ambers constant crying.

You think Amber will come back at him, Cricket?

I think she'll just cry some more.

and if she really is that emotional of a person I think she needs to get some therapy. I don't know if it's that healthy.

Cricket-I had the same impression that Dani and Dick were fighting like two kids, too. He wasn't any more adult than she was.

I really think Dick is taking a page from every sucessful relationship in previous Big Brothers. He is especially taking from CHilltown with the old "you were all in my alliance" page. He seems to have forged something with not only groups of house guests but individuals as well. He tells each one how he only really trusts them (jessica/jameka) or how no one would ever guess an alliance between us (jen/jemeka). He has a lot of balls in the air but he is working angles that have worked in other BB's (IMHO of course).

Once again in the live feed posts I see Jameka telling Amber she will do anything possible to further Amber in the game..what the heck? Why are all these people -Nick, Dustin, Jameka, Dick(?) - willing to put themselves out of the running for Amber?? Does she really have these people feeling that sorry for her, and how long will it take them to wake up and smell the coffee? Without fail, everytime somebody tells Amber something, she goes running to spill whatever it was to whomever will listen.

Amber is the perfect final two goat. Anyone in that house who is playing to win should want to be sitting next to Amber in the final two.
