Clearly, we are not out of line in our worry...Dick and Dustin are discussing it right now. How ironic.

Naja, if that is true, that would be one of those contextual issues I was referencing.

Iunno Julie. Just noticed that spelling myself. I know Evel Knivel uses the "EL" spelling.

Evel for Evel Knievel, since when he signed up on some message board evildick was taken. He said he liked Evel Knievel so he used that spelling.

from his son on SS
"an interesting little fact, he was trying to make an account on something and evildick was taken, so he went with the Evel Knievel spelling "Evel" and has stuck with it since it worked :P"

I hope Dani and Dick are in the house long enough to work something out. Dick has got upset on several occasions so I think he would be willing to open up the relationship.

Dani is thin and being on slop must be horrible for her. She ate pizza and was planning with Nick what they would eat when slop was over. She was drooling over having a burger!!

On a small frame to loose a few lb's can make you look drawn and boney. I am sure BB would never have allowed a possible anorexic in the house.

On survivor the slim people end up looking like skeletons.

Darclyte, thank you for posting. I did it on Thursday night when the ED comments started, and I posted in the Q&A thread asking people to please stop. As I posted there, I've also always been asked if I'm sick (I'm not) and I find it very offensive when people immediately assume an ED. As you know, it's just as bad when someone says "you're so thin" or "you look anorexic" as it is when someone says "you're so fat" to someone who may not match your ideal body image.

It's apparent that Dani is aware of her body and has a good idea of what she looks like.

Sometimes, thin is just that. Thin. When you are 5'10" and weigh less than 130 lbs, yet eat constantly, what is that called? Just thin.

(Although... hint... I much prefer to be called svelte!!!!)

Scuba...let's review BB and their casting history. They let Justin (that was his name right) who put the knife to Krisa and had all sorts of a history of violence. I could go down the list but I think they will cast whoever is convenient for them and could care less about their emotional health or wellbeing.

Being skinny is one thing but I really think if she isn't anorexic then her body chemistry must be off as no one is naturally THAT thin. And as Survior's and past HG getting thin, that was after a lot of time went on. This is the first week.

She seems like a fairly nice person, from the little I've seen, so I really am concerned for her. Looking at her, she just doesn't look like a natural, healthy skinny. I have friends with tiny frames, but their arms just don't have that gaunt shape. I just hope if she is having issues the BB house doesn't make it worse as the seasons go on and things get really stressful.

But ITA, would be nice if she and Dick worked things out. But I'm still wondering if they are that separated, unless her brother was lying. And not sure why he would. If they stay in long enough we may figure out more as folks tend to slip and let their guards down as time goes on.

I heard her say that her dad was always more of a friend and not a father. That she needed a dad. Also, her mother is not in the picture. The self image might have to do with her mom.

I don't have a ton of faith that BB would not put someone on over an eating disorder, in particular if they are looking for a father/daughter conflict that will play well in their new twist. I really think they would go for the ratings and twist before they considered health, IMO.

What I think will be interesting is if they choose to show the other housemates concerns, or will they choose to edit that out through out the season keeping it off the show.

I don't have a ton of faith that they will address it and if they do show it, I really think it will be to show a "caring father" more than to get this young lady help if that is indeed what she needs.

Either way, they both come off as two hollywood wannabees to me and I think they have been trying for a long time to break into the business.

Just my thoughts

Sometimes, thin is just that. Thin. When you are 5'10" and weigh less than 130 lbs, yet eat constantly, what is that called?

extremely high metabolism
very possibly hyperthyroid

Or some drugs will do that too

It is impossible for a person to eat 6000 calories a day and not gain weight unless they have a medical problem imho.

Eating constantly does not mean eating fatty, high calorie foods. Eating constantly could be grazing on fruits and vegatables RAW!

When I was on weight watchers I thought I was going to DIE eating all that food. Multiple servings of all kinds vegs. I've never eaten that much in my life, nor since quitting WW.

Dani said last night that she's never been as thin as she is right now, and that she feels(I forget the exact word she used) kinda gross or icky.

The next door neighbor girl who was a premie was very thin, although tall for her age. When she would get stressed out, like worrying about school or her parents, she would lose her appetite and end up losing weight. She was always thin, but when that would happen, she would look skeletal. Her body just had an odd metabolism. She was tested for all sorts of things, but nothing ever showed up. So, while Dustin and EDick say Danielle's too thin, and she says this is the thinnest she's ever been, if she's always thin, and is stressing from her current situation...she's gonna lose weight. She probably lost weight even before going into the house. Someone posted that she's worried about her weight. I would be too if I were a thin gal going into the BB house. I would be afraid that between stress and slop that I'd lose weight, or that I'd stress eat and blow up. Yes, she looks very thin and even she notices. I'm sure once things settle down in her new situation, she'll be fine. But, like I theorized, she probably lost a little weight stressing about going into the house; and now that she's in she has the stress of the situation, her estranged father being in there with her, how that affects her ability to play and win, and she's on slop. Cut her some slack. Again, I've known many people who have been very thin their whole lives. That is "normal" to them. Heck, even my mother's 65 year old best friend has always been thin, caught a virus, dropped 10 pounds and people called her "death warmed over." Charming. She got over the virus, gained back most of the weight, and looks fine. So, please, I really wish people would stop harping on her weight. It wouldn't be fair if she were 300 pounds and it isn't fair now. Since she, her dad, and anyone else is talking about it...fine, go ahead and discuss what's going on, but just be careful not to start throwing around that she has an ED or something biologically wrong with her. Unless she admits to suffering from something, it just isn't right to accuse her of having this or that.

I don't think Daniele has an eating disorder just because she's skinny. I think Daniele has an eating disorder because every time someone mentions her weight, she appears to freak out, asking if she's gaining any. She told me about her obsessions with weight, not my prejudices.

i've known people who just stop eating when they are under stress.

We are just 'theorizing' which is what BB is about to me.

no one is accusatory here.

however, I notice no one getting upset that Eric is being called Hyperactive and ADHD in threads.

It is part of the game and what is done here on threads.

I'm sorry it bugs people but crosschat bugs me. we all have our different triggers as individuals. I try to keep myself focused on 'the people in the house' and not on who is posting.

sounds blunt, but that's me.

Dick, Kail, Eric and Jen just had a conversation about Dani and her weight. They don't think she has an eating disorder. Kail and Eric made sure to tell Dick that when they were not on slop (they had a bbq night and pizza) she did eat and before they went on slop, she ate junk food. Also she has mentioned that she'll be glad when she goes off slop because even she thinks that she's lost too much weight this week.

I am thin. only a few occasions have I weighed over 110. I am 5'5". IF I am stressed I can lose 5 lbs in 2 days. It will take me 2 months to gain that back. and I eat A LOT!! Some people are just like that.

Like Costa, I get tired of hearing the questions/comments about my weight. You would not go up to a person who is fat and say 'you are so fat, how did you get that way?'.

Just because we are thin does not make it socially acceptable to ask or comment about our weight.

I don't think Daniele looks in the mirror, gasps, and sees "fat" and dines on celery. She was quite happily eating that pizza.

I suspect Dick is bringing it up to gain sympathy and made her look disordered and appear to be concerned about her. Apparently she was raised not by him but by grandparents, so his concern is perhaps a bit late for her.

Well I too was raised by my Grandparents and far from my mother being unconcerned and uncaring in doing so she did the BEST thing she could for me.

Give Dick some credit he didn't dump the kids in the street nor did he forget he had them.
