I think there's some limited contact with family after they leave the house.

It's like that Mark Twain quote --

"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."

------
Gamewise, though, Daniele can ill afford to sever ties with her father ... she's definately the bigger game threat and everyone in there knows it.
Dick was willing to sacrifice himself to keep her in there because she is better at the game.
If she somehow cuts off his protection of her in the house, she's a sitting duck.

Ed takes great pride in seeing Dani do so well at the comps...Most parents would be proud and he is not different no matter what their problems are. She is his daughter and that is a very powerful thing. He would always support her no matter what. Not sure if Dani would do the same, but I hope she would.

Whizwit, if I understand you correctly, you are saying who ever, whether it be Jen or anyone else, is sitting next to Jameka is at a disadvantage b/c she cannot play in HOH and is less of a threat as a result. If so, ITA. Jen knew the minute she was put on the block that her game was over and that's what Dani expected as well.

I personally do not like the backdoor strategy. I would have felt a little better with how this week played out had she known she was going on the block and/or had the same opportunity as Jameka/Amber to save herself and she lost. Jen, at least, gave Dick/Dani an opportunity to save themselves week 2.

The worst part for me is Jen thought she was safe this week b/c Dani was HOH and promised to have her back to the end. I don't think Jen saw it coming at all. Had she any inclination, I believe she would have had make-up on...LOL. I realize it's the name of the game, but I still feel bad for her. I think it's a crappy way to go out. JMO.

Like Zach, I do not agree with her breaking the rules, but at the same time, I understand why she did it. I am not convinced her response was from a game standpoint at all, rather she acted of emotions, IMO.

I personally see right through her pseudo self-confidence/great life act and believe it was nothing more than a front for a very insecure lady. I knew she would eventually break down and she did...LOL.

JMO.

I am still very confused about Amber saying "thank you for letting me see my cousin" how in the heck did that happen?

Whiz, I think Jen saying she wasn't going to sequester was all talk. JMO.

Shop, I think at the Power of Ten show. Her cousin must have been her support maybe? I know there was speculation on other forums that Nick was Dani's, but who knows.

See, I don't buy Jen's "emotion" excuse myself. She did not sit and read through that rulebook for that long before doing it and calmly ask in coy ways where the cigs were, and then lie saying she needed the bleach to clean the sink for no reason. The eating may have been some emotion... however, they even commented in one of their comments post BB meeting that "well, so you found a loophole" this was a pre-mediated act all the way. She was trying to play whatever cards she had left to her and digging to see if anyone had hid any "cards".... jmo

The show, Power of 10, usually has a family member or friend present to support the player - maybe Amber's family member was her cousin?

ETA: The family member/friend is always a good 'reaction shot' during the show, etc.

Guess so... couldn't figure that out and have not seen the show Power of 10 yet, so didn't know they used a "support"

thanks shopstomuch (which I must say is not possible, lol)...i didnt know she said that and isn't that interesting. to quote a houseguest...hmmmmm

Another question...Does it appear Amber isn't giving Jameka the attention she gave her before her and Dani's trip out of the house. Just seems Jameka is being pushed out.

Klaw -- "Whiz, I think Jen saying she wasn't going to sequester was all talk. JMO."

Too right, Klaw. Everyone who dislikes Jen will seize upon these statements as proof she's a poor sport, etc. If she said it--it must be true.

Well, with this same reasoning, everything Dick has ever said about her and the others must be true too, right? But nooooo. When HE says bad things or makes threats it is called "playing the game".

Sounds like a double standard to me.

Shop, I am not talking about the cigarettes - that was definitely planned long before that night...LOL. I meant her decision to eat. I know she was making turkey burgers, but she offered them to Jess, Eric, and Zach too. I don't think she planned to eat until after BB corrected her retaliation. That was the first time I ever heard the girl cuss too...she was really mad. JMO.

Maybe so... it was interesting in their spin the bottle thing last night... Dick says "who cares she is leaving tomorrow" in response to something someone said. Jen pipes in "unless America saves me" and dick scoffed or something... Jen then brings up something about "it being in the rule book" and Dick again said, "yeah we know you read the rule book." Jen really believes in her head somehow that this thing she found in the rule book is going to prevent her from leaving tonight.

I've only seen one show (Power of 10) - it was on before BB the other night (before they announced where Dani and Amber went on their 'trip') and I watched a lady go for the money while her husband was commenting on her choices, etc. Kinda like "Who wants to be a Millionare" when there would be a spotlight and mic on the husband/wife of the player in the audience to get reaction/feelings/background history from, etc.

Messalina, I do agree that there are double standards when it comes to Jen.

I would love to get a copy of that book...that must be one wild rule, the only way America can save her is by America's vote and Eric only knows about that. Any hint yet what America told Eric to do.

I would love to see it too... but all last night Jen kept on making references to being saved etc etc... I really do think she really believes somehow CBS/BB/America will figure out how to keep her in w/ whatever this so-called rule is. However, I think she is misintrepeting this rule completely and this rule pertains in some way to Eric being the AP.

Shop, I think Jen is a little delusional in that regard for sure. She probably thinks because BB tried to influence votes for Dick and Eric, that they would try to find a way for her to stay as well. Jen has talked a lot about how BB is trying to keep certain players in the last couple weeks, so who knows.
