As I'm sitting here watching BBAD, I realize Dani doesn't have people to *really* talk to /confide in. Is this because of Nick, or because of Dick? She put all her eggs in two baskets, but which is to blame for her current position in the house?

Daniele is in this position because of her own actions. She isolated herself from the other HG when Nick was in the house because he was her focus and she gave him all her attention. Now all she has is Dick....who she has described as "like a mean friend". Unfortunately Dick talked her into voting out her only good friend so now she has no one for the rest of the summer...except Dick, her "mean friend". C'est la vie!

Daniele was Nick's downfall in this game. And I think Nick was the reason Daniele hasn't formed any close relationships. How can anyone form any other relationships when they spend all their time in bed with or in the hammock with only one person. Daniele would also do much better without Dick around; he has inhibited any game she has played till now, and she will be saddled with being Dick's game partner from now on.

<<<Daniele is in this position because of her own actions.>>> Exactly. I for one do not like her, or perhaps it is her behavior. That turned me off from the beginning. She just doesn't come across as a very likeable person in the BB house.

I think she still has a lot of growing up to do but why does she have to have relationships in the house? I like her and I hope she wins this thing.

Relationships (AKA "alliances") are what you need to win the game. She needs to form relationships in the house in order create trust with other HGs. (Trust is needed to make allies.) All she really has now is her dad....and maybe Zach, but only by default because the other side won't talk to him.

Jen has even attempted, in her way, to make friends with her. Didn't she say in a DR that she had noticed Dani lived near her, and she was hoping they could be friends...

Yes, Jen even told Daniele in the kitchen about how she was thinking maybe they could be friends when they first got in the house.....but Daniele rebuffed her, then yelled at her....and then her father poured tea on her head!

Well, someone as self-centered as Dani certainly would not be my choice for an alliance in the house.

Daniele and Jess were close in the beginning. Then, the week the AP vote was for Eric to suggest putting Jess up, he told Jess that he heard from Jen that Daniele and Nick suggested putting Jess up. He also told Jameka. Jess was hurt and cried.

Daniele did start off close to Amber, and I believe Dustin and then over time it got to be more and more Nick until finally it was Nick a majority of the time. Part of the problem with her friendship with Dustin and Amber is that the first few weeks were spent talking about her dad and all that stress etc and they bored with it. Then once she was into Nick.. then she just didn't bother with anyone. Daniele was Nicks downfall in the game... that's a given. Dick is Danieles downfall..

Dani doesn't like any of these people. They are not people she would be friends with outside the house unless she had time to know them. <77>

I feel that we probably have not seen the "real" Dani, or, at most, we've seen the Dani that "Daddy Dearest" evokes. I'd really like to see how Dani would play without Dick in the house. I don't know that she would be better player, (or less whiny) but I think that we might see a more likeable/interactive Dani without Dick. I have other favs in the house, but, in fairness to Dani, I'd like to see if her physical and intellectual prowess (the gal wins comps!) could be combined with the schmoozing and social aspects of the game.

I like Dani, and while I'm aware of how young she is, there does come a time when everyone has to take responsibility for their OWN actions. I'm sure Dani considers herself a mature adult, someone who makes their own decisions. Neither Nick or Dick are responsibile for Dani's lot in the house...that lies solely with Dani. Um...and Jen's version of attempting friendship would have tried Ghandi's patience. First Jen confronted Dani over Nick, doing everything she could to sway Dani from spending any time with him. I don't think Jen was thinking of what was best for Dani....then Jen repeatedly degraded Dani about her so called "lack of morales" and being a cheater...That's befriending someone? ICK.... Jen approached Dani about being "friends" after Nick was gone...and Jen was trying to KA to stay in the house... Dani saw right through her...Good for Dani...

I agree with you Tide, her own actions have led her to her current situation. Add to that letting Daddy Dearest be her Assistant HOH was no help. She could have laid down the law to him and not let him try to run her HOH.Let's hope that D/D are out in the next two weeks.

Kep you are 100% correct. Dani is her own person and her "downfall" is not due to Nick or ED, but herself. Jen is full of it with trying to be friends with Danielle. She was jealous of her about Nick, and started that whole Nick tried to kiss her and talked crap about Danielle. Eric screwed her over with Jess by telling her Dani wanted her nominated when it was the AC, not Dani. Too bad Dani was too wrapped up in Nick by then or that may not have happened or have been diffused. Also, once she saw the banner, Dani was the one who decided it was Eric doing the votes. ED isn't the one who convinced her, she convinced him. So again, Dani made her own bed there and put ED into it, not the other way around. In many ways, Dani is this season's Janelle. She's good at comps, she attached herself to a guy early, she isolated herself from the others, and she has drawn a bad rep from the other HGs who spread rumors and lies about her. The problem is, I don't think she will be able to last as long as Janelle as the others are really going to go after her and I don't think she's either as dominate nor will be able to get any help from AC...since that's all tied to Eric the AP.

As soon as Nick rejected Jen, and turned to Daniele, Daniele couldn't win with Jen. I think Daniele may have spent more time with Nick than the others, but so what? I'm not so sure I'd want to be in a close relationship with most of them. And it really didn't take long for others to pair up (Amber/Dustin, Eric/Jessica, Jen/Kail). Can you blame her for pairing with Nick? I think Daniele is one of the strongest players there. She's smart and she's quick, and she's a real threat. I'd love to see her in the final 2.

I think none of the HG's want to get close to Dani fearing that ED will be right in the middle of it. No one can just be friends with Dani, ED comes along with the package. Stop and think for a momment how ED must have been like as a father. He probably scared all her friends off. I feel sorry that Dani isnt in there as herself but as ED's daughter. She does have good game. She kept it together during the HOH comp and didn't break down about Nick leaving until after the comp was over.

Danielle has a lot of "guilt by association" to deal with. Her fathers actions have first, intimidated, and then irritated the others to the point of desiring his eviction. They can't really talk to Dani about their feelings because she is his daughter. It is hard to form relationships when you can't share your true feelings. That said, Dani has not put much effort into making relationships either, with the exception of Nick, and even then she was so "high maintanance" and uncommunicative that most would get tired of trying.

The sad part about it is that Dani might be the best competitor in the house. If she werent so short sighted and just laid around in bed with Nick and let Dick tell her what to do she would have won this game. Now she's going to go up next week and be sent home.

CBS should have stuck to the over 21 rule. Dani is just too immature to be in that environment. Dick is really having to do extra duty ,playing daddy and playing BB.

Daniele communicates like a child. Everything she talks about has only to do with herself. She thinks that just telling other people that her feelings are hurt means that they should instantly apologize to her. In her brain, "that's not fair" is a reasonable debate point. She also loves to shut people out. Countless times, when conversations get emotionally tricky and require an adult maturity, she'll just cover her face with her hands, clam up, or even walk away from the discussion, leaving the other person to have to chase her down again later. It's terribly selfish, immature behavior. It's always all about her. Plus, she whines. Endlessly. She'll do that 12-year-old girl thing: Instead of saying "no" when she's frustrated, she'll say "no-wuh!" Half her statements have the intonation of a question, and nearly after every word she says, she lets her voice drag. She may be the biggest whiner I've ever heard.
