Denecee, I agree. I think they both knew the other had a chance to get on the show but it wasn't confirmed until they moved into the house. IMO, Dick and Danielle are the most dangerous alliance in the house at the moment. Who will have the nerve go after Daniele while Dick is still in the house- that's just a revenge nomination in the making. Daniele is going to do everything possible to to protect her father because she's not a target as long as he's in the house. Plus, Dick is working double time to set up the frenemies six alliance with Amber as Carol's replacement which is protection in numbers if it works out. Dick's not my favorite hg, but I give him props for trying especially this early in the game.

I'm not convinced one iota that they didn't know eachother was going to be on BB this year. should have seen him last night at 3-6 am then. He must be one heck of an actor.

Well, argh then, cause I like Carol way more than Jessica(the enemy.) Hopefully Carol will win POV and then they can oust Jen or Jessica.

Can't find the exact post, but V seems to think that, between D&D, Dick would be the one who'd want to mend the relationship and Dani would be the one being aloof.

Dick explained last night that when he signed over custody of his kids to his parents, he had no idea that he was loosing so many parentental rights. He said he was supposed to get them on holiday's and his mother would always sabotage it by making other plans for them. He said he has had a very strained relationship with his mom. Just exactly why he signed over custody and exactly where the mother was, I haven't heard him mention.

Dick's parents send the pair to Christian schools. Question: Is there a difference between Catholics schools and Christian Schools?

I was raised in a 7th Day Adventist Church school. Only difference I can think of (never having been to any Catholic or other Christian school) would be in the religious doctrines that are taught.

Chy, the main diff's between Catholic and Christian schools, in Christian schools: You repent to God, not a human in a robe You pray to God, not to saints, angels, or Mary No nuns, no Fathers, just God. No liturgy or repetetive prayer, just in-depth study of the Bible and people of the Bible. Jesus is THE only way. I think there are also 3 extra or 3 fewer books in the Catholic Bible, than in a standard NIV Bible. (This is just an answer to Chy, not an invitation to a religious discussion! )

Chy, Dick's mom is a minister. So, not Catholic schools.

It might be something like Seventh Day Adventist School, because Dani said they didn't have high school dances because her religion frowned on dancing. It was a very conservative school, but she said she loved it.

Wooh, thanks for all the helps! I went to a Catholics school in Taipei. Priests, nuns, but not much of the other things Carrie talks about. I knew there's something I didn't know! Thank you all!

Cricket, I think it's Church of Christ (not sure) that also frowns on dancing...in fact they don't celebrate holiday and they sing in acapello. Can't remember exactly which one.

but do remember that the Bible originally was put together by the catholic church and they HOLD the manuscripts in their lockup. I've read that there are quite a few books that could be added, including some of the Dead Sea Scrolls. But some of the doctrine contradicts what is 'interpreted' from the accepted christian books. Just info, Also not wanting to start a religion convo. I hope we learn more about what happened with Dick. I think he went thru a tough time. He said earlier on feeds that he quit smoking pot three? months ago

I went to Lutheran school which is a Christian school. We had a pastor. We did the call and response stuff, singing, etc. I was only six when I left to go to public school so I don’t remember a heck of a lot.

No dancing for Nazarenes. I don't think Baptists do either.

Twinkie - too funny about Southern Baptists! They are all I know, too, being from Texas. But I do know that Baylor University (Waco - a Baptist school) has finally okayed dancing. It was a super big deal. On another note, insofar as D/D's relationship. We can only speculate as to why D gave up parental rights - there are so many scenarios, especially if his parents where they ones who initiated the whole thing. My ex gave up his parental rights so as not to have to pay child support - absolutely amazing. This was in 86 and I still can't believe he would do that. Not to say that was Dick's reason and I'm not even going to speculate. Anyway, to get on with it. My parents divorced when I was 5. They both remarried within the 2 years after that. I lived with my mom/stepdad. My dad lived in Dallas, we lived in Houston (not that far away), but even then, I only saw my dad 2-3 times a year. My mom did not sabotage anything because I have spoken with all four of my parents (bio and step) about it. I had a very strained relationship with my dad for years and had self esteem problems growing up that stemmed partly from that (not using that as an excuse - just was a fact). It took me until I was 35 to come to terms with the fact that my dad loved me in his way, did the best he could, and that if I wanted to have a relationship with him, I had to accept him as he was. Daniele's only 20. She may never come to terms with the whole situation but hopefully she will and will want to have a good and lasting relationship with her father, but it may be years before it happens.

V's answer to "...why your mom and dad didn't raise you?" : Sure! They were both very young and me and my sister we both unplanned. They didnt get along and ended up getting divorced. After trying *cough*, neither of them could actually take care of us... from what I hear my mom was too busy partying and my dad just couldnt take care of two infants while having a job as a bartender at such a young age (not to mention he had no support from his parents at all).

Posted for Vac to see: http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_bb8/23559.html Here: Daniele Since a few people have brought up their real life experiences/pasts with some of the cast members, I thought I'd offer mine. I grew up down the street from Daniele until I was about 13. We went through phases where we were friends and then not friends, typical pre-teen petty argument stuff. There was another girl who lived in our neighborhood, and all three of us were friends at times, but Daniele was always trying to turn us against each other and I never understood why. I think she had some kind of paranoia about being a third wheel, or the two of us becoming better friends with each other than with her. Big Brother potential much? I laughed when I found out she was on this show. At the time that I moved, we were in a "not friends" phase, so I didn't keep in touch with her. Anyhow, her dad's name is very fitting--he actually is a dick. He would tell her and her brother things all the time like "I never wanted you" and I found him really creepy the few times I ever saw him around. I wouldn't keep in touch with the guy either if I was her. I stole some of her clothes back in the day once when we got in a fight. I wonder if she ever figured out it was me, heheh.#### end C&P

I'm not denouncing it. I've been watching Dani in the house and she constantly disses the other HG's. She's thrilled that no one likes Jen, because that was her competition. I see some manipulating going on from her. Re her father situation, don't blame her at all if that's what he said. She was born only 13 months after he brother, so I could see him saying that when they were young. Maybe that's why the Grandparents raised them.

Vac said that there was only one female on the block their age and she didn't know their dad.
