You can bet if someone was fat on the show that people WOULD be talking about that and saying how unhealthy it was. And remember when Jun gained weight from being in the house and everyone was talking about her? And she wasn't even actually fat but had just gained a little weight. IMO it's Daniele's face that scares me the most. It is very gaunt and I feel like it looks like a skeleton sometimes - like pictures of holocaust survivor's or people from very poor 3rd world countries. She is always glancing around and looking nervous and self-concious and one night at the hot tub and pool she kept a towel with her and kept covering areas. I'm not saying this stuff to pick on her or to be mean. I am just worried about her as she is so young and seems like she's had a tough past and I don't want to see her being exploited for TV and internet viewer's pleasure.

Kale, good point (assuming it was his idea or his parents) but I don't think that earns him (for me) the right to now use his supposed concern to make points with people for himself vs his daughter on a reality show.

If you really look at pictures of actual holocaust survivors at the time camps were liberated, Daniele would look vastly less emaciated.

not every workcamp had the same level of emaciated survivors though. i dont think it is about 'really' looking if you understand what I mean I only hope everyone gets food next week.

I've read extensively and studied the holocaust and when you look at pictures of the liberation, people were often down to LITERALLY skin and bones and those were the ones who were hanging on to life. Daniele is nowhere, remotely near that condition. I think when people invoke concentration camp survivors they aren't thinking of the ones who may have only recently been confined or the maid in the SS household who may have been in a more normal condition.

we need to stop and remember they have been on the slop diet for a week. Before we start labeling her anorexic let's wait and see how she eats the next few days. It is silly to continue to speculate based on two days of seeing her.

I think it is natural for us to want to talk about their body types. It is constantly thrown in our faces to look this way and some of us succumb to they hype. Unfortunately, a lot of us don't get it right because all those advertisements are just trying to sell their products that aren't good for us. (stepping away from the soap box before I get on it)

not everyone in every camp was as you describe. I could post pics here, right now, with Survivors at liberation who are similar to what she is right now. Dachau and Buchenwald(sp?) pics were the most common I found a poster previously stated their opinion. A person is allowed to state their opinion based on their thoughts and experiences. If all comments like that should be taken off the site I'm sure we would all understand (Dropping the subject or I'll get the urge to POST the pics and let everyone have their say)

No! Only I am able to give an opinion!! Frankly, I do not think it is a good idea to eat a huge meal after being on one of those slop diets for a week. Just from a medical perspective, after having little to no fat all week and then having a huge fatty meal, you are really playing havoc with your gallbladder. I'm just sayin'. However, I know how *I* would eat in the same position!

I'd have a bowl of soup. It is the only thing my stomach could tolerate when i worked midnight shifts and my usual diet was screwed up. Soup! Cant imagine spicy tacos. but then again, look what they feed em on survivor

i'm not sure why some think that Dick is showing concern for Danielle to garner points with the others. could it be that he really cares about her and is showing genuine feelings? that's how i see it.

It sounds like she eats. She's probably naturally thin.

Hell no - they should get some kick-azzz sponsor like Ramen Noodles or something and make them eat only that all week. The point is, ANYTHING that you have to eat for an entire week is going to be nauseating after the first day. They might as well make a buck on it.

Wasb't it Dani last year that got Ramen noodles in her HOH basket...? And my kids would think that they had died and gone to heaven if they could eat Ramen noodles exclusively for a week... But EWWW...no way!

Dani's dad is pretty thin himself. I think a lot of that has to do with the gene's she has. I have a friend who is very thin and is always trying to gain weight.

Last night Eric told some other HG's that he told Dick that his daughter was a b*%#&. I'd be surprised if that really happened, and if it did I'm surprised Dick would allow Eric to continue to breathe. Oh and Eric used the "C" word in reference to Dani, too. I'm looking for Dick to find out about all this, and I'm hoping he lathers Eric with a big ol' can of whupass. Dick seems like a pacifist, but there are some places you don't go re another man's daughter.

Oh, and apparently Dick called Eric a "Jewish Rabbit" at some point, so Eric seems to have something to complain about, too. I have no idea where that Jewish rabbit thing came from, or what in the hell he was talking about, but it certainly diminishes my opinion of Dick.

Maybe it's a play on "rabbi."

or maybe it is because Dick has given all of the HGs a character from Alice in Wonderland...perhaps he named Eric The Rabbit...and playfully called him The Jewish Rabbit????

I'm not willing to cut Dick that kind of slack - he'd heard about Eric going off and was responding to it. I mean, what has "Jewish" got to do with anything? From the transcripts it seemed clear (to me, YMMV) that he was using the reference as a pejorative. Not cool on any level.

PS I can agree though that having not actually watched the exchange my scope of reference on this is limited. The words may sound harsher in print than then were actually delivered. Sunshyne, do you recall that convo?

During the golf game, Eric was calling himself angry Jew boy. Every time he missed a shot, he'd raise his club up at the sky. It was funny. Dick told him he has an online friend that uses that name. He called him the Jew rabbit during the game, and Eric laughed, as did everyone else....Dick did a running commentary through the game. He's given him the rabbit name because he hops from person to person.
