Loppes, because we haven't seen her thank him for taking her off the block, does that mean she hasn't? Just saying I know I am very protective over her because she is my babies age and I see the hg treating her mean for no good reason. Plus I do not believe for one second this girl is a bad person. I also don't forget that she is trying to win a half a million dollars and NONE of the hg will do that without looking bad in somebody eyes. Amber is getting off so much easier with the tvch viewers, why is that?

Loppes posted; Danielle's behavior yesterday by sleeping (to use her words..) 18 hours, then being miserable and whiney really made me sick to watch. I have to say, in watching Dick try every possible way to get her to snap out of herself, I began sincerely feeling sorry for him. She was so rude and obnoxious toward him in her attitude and behavior its appalling to me. And I don't buy the argument that we need to give her a break because she is only 20 years old. I've known and seen so many 20 year olds, and its rarely I've seen one who acts like a child, in the manner she does. Its clear why she and her father, and also her brother don't have a decent relationship. She takes ever step to make sure it doesn't happen. Its really sad to watch. Living and working in a college environment, I see many 20 year old girls, day in and day out. I can state as a fact from my experience....95% of the 20 year old girls I see.. act and behave exactly like Dani! She is no different than most American girls her age. I do however, see a big difference in girls her age from other countries....they really do show a greater maturity at that age than many American girls do. And it really makes me wonder what is behind the unfair assessment by anyone who would blame all the problems of a dysfunctional family on one person....and a 20 yr old girl at that.

I also want to say that I know Dani doesn't have a bubbly personality, that she is a more serious kind of girl. I think she really cares what the hg think of her and she feels they hate her. So, she has her protective attitude out which is coming across negatively to some people. I think she has been disappointed by her parents so many times that she doens't show her true feelings so she doesn't get hurt as much.

"I see the hg treating her mean for no good reason." "No good reason?" I have named several good reasons. Lies, whines, cries, spoiled rotten, uses people, has no compassion for others, supports Dick's abuse, hates everyone in the house, etc... Heck if she would at least own up to her age, I'd give her a bump up on the Dani-meter.....but she thinks lying is the way to go....even stupid, insignificant lies. SHE thinks being 21 would make her appear more mature to the other HGs, but the reality is that lying about her age only makes DANIELE see HERSELF as more mature. She's acting like she's 15 no matter how old she is or how old she claims she is. I'm hoping BB presents her with a birthday cake with 21 candles next week on her birthday.

Lies. Yeah, do does everyone. Whines. Yeah, so does everyone. Cries. Yeah, but I think Amber has the lock on that. Spoiled rotten. Yeah, and so is Jen and Dustin and... Uses people. Yeah. Don't they all? Has no compassion. Nope, don't see that one. Supports Dick's abuse. Nope, she's said she doesn't. Hates everyone in the house. Yeah, wouldn't you? Those are not reasons for treating someone mean. Those are reasons that petty people use to justify when they are doing exactly what you've just described... showing no compassion, using people, lying...

I think people forget this is bb and the name of the game is lying to a degree..Dani is only 21 and i expect that her grandmother tried to make up to her for not having her parents in her life.. Somethings people give to much to there children because they don't want to see them hurt..Dicks mother did what most grammies would do..Give.. so the hurt wouldn't be so hard.. I think Amber bothers me more..What kind of person swears on peoples lives? Nevermind there own daughter? What kind of christian would talk and act that way on national tv and proclaim christianity? (jameka and Amber) All these people have some major problems..Geez Dustin put Kail down because her religion doesn't except homosexuals...But yet he names his dog a name that tears down a race...? All these people have problems but none have been left as a child with there grandparent to be raised..Dick has admit to his faults and he tells freely but Dani seems to be the only mature one that cares not to hash it out on National Tv... I think when Dani says no ones knows what its like ..is the truth..I do not know what its like to have a dad that is very vocal ..I so remember raising teenager boys and my my the drama and they had both parents.. Just a thought!

Well said Costa & skylar!! I'm just so darn sensitive when it comes to Dani. I know she isn't perfect but nobody is.

Maybe they just don't like her. I have not liked everyone I have ever met and I can't always tell you why I don't like them, I just don't. I also don't like her either.

"Lies. Yeah, do does everyone. Supports Dick's abuse. Nope, she's said she doesn't. You agree she lies and then you say she doesn't support Dick's abuse because "she said she doesn't," Well, as we both agreed, SHE LIES. We saw her in the DR after her tantrum/snit in the HOH and she smirked and said it was all a strategy to try to separate her from Dick. She is her father's little girl. It's actually kind of sad.

If they don't like her, that's fine, and that's their right. But they are living in the same house together, 24 hours a day. And a little civility and cordiality would go a long way. It would also go a long way towards what us viewers think, and tell Eric, when we vote. Adults recognize that they are not gonna like everyone they meet. But adults also suck it up and act like adults in this situation. They do not go and hide in the HOH room, spy on people, talk smack behind their backs, avoid eye contact, and the rest. I like Daniele. I think she's smart as a whip. I think she could win this thing.

Dani is smart, beautiful, perceptive and young. Give her a couple more years. She is going places.

Dani's father sets such a good example! Civility and cordiality are his strongest points so I can see why the other HGs seem like boors compared to him.

I was talking about Daniele and the treatment SHE has received from the OTHER HGs. Daniele is her own person. Why can't she be recognized as such? Malaka, you made some good points. Give her a few years, and she could really do anything she sets her mind to.

Any time someone has a problem with Daniele and tries to have a discussion with her about it, she shouts at them that they don't understand how she feels and then she walks away. Jameka had to bar the door the other night to make her face up to her issues. That's a big reason why I wouldn't like her if I were in the house. She can't communicate like a grown-up.

"And a little civility and cordiality would go a long way." Tell that to Daniele when she's giggling at Dick as he's trashing everyone in the house! I don't think "civility" was part of Dick's parenting skill set.....he didn't teach it and Daniele didn't learn it. They are two peas in a pod.

I don't know about "any time" but I admit I have seen her do that. I don't make it more than it is when she does do it. Like the other night with Jameka, Dani's emotions were out and it looked like she was just needing to finally defend herself. I know tons of people who get so emotional when confronting others.

and like Dani said herself .. she doesn't share what she feels and thinks for the most part. I think Dani has learned to internalize it and keep it hidden from others. Of course she doesn't know how to communicate those feelings with others.

And Jameka's barring the door was oh so adult, yes? For pete's sake, she's 20 years old. Give the girl a break.

the other point was her age, she stated she lied about her age so that people wouldn't think she was underage. It wasn't to make her seem more mature and worldly. She was well aware of the drinking, etc. that goes on in the house.

I think Dani is a smart & beautiful young lady. She acts no worse than most of the HG's. I think she has more class than all of them. She is young and still learning alot of life lessons. However I think she got the early start on hard life lessons along time ago. I think she handles it quite well with everyone in the house, more so than I would because those are some really rotten people in the house, more so than previous years (except for a few past HG's) Kudos to Dani, and I wish her nothing but good things.

Beffy, I think it had more to do with not only being the youngest, but also being underage. When you are THIS CLOSE to being 21, it's a very big deal.
