Lurk.. you think Dick would respect boundaries? I think Kail, Carol, Jen would all strongly disagree there. The man has no boundaries. There are flaws and there are flaws IMO.

I feed my cat on the counter.. food and water up there, but of course I don't cook for people and if I do use the counter I don't let anything touch the surface without cleaning it first.

Somebody run over there and help Dani put that cinnamon sugar mix into a bowl instead of that cup. I don't want her spending all that time rolling such nice little balls and then having them get all misshapen in a cup. I'm all the way over in New York, so I can't get there before she's done. Some of you Californians can hurry up and do this for me. Thank you in advance.

Jbw..one other one is Trista and Ryan...from the Bachlorette. They are married. Someone said it better than me a few days ago. Dick frequently speaks inapropriately in front of his daughter. He mostly acts like a friend and seems to want to act like a parent only on occassion. Fathers should not be talking about their sexual activities, wishes and desires infront of their daughters. His language is frequently vile in front of his daughter. He talks about fights he has been in like it is a very frequent occurence in his life. Watching his behavior in the house, in front of his daughter has totally explained to me what Dani meant by "he is like a mean friend".

We've all said that life in the house makes people squirrely so I don't think we should judge Dick and Daniele just yet. We should wait till after they are out of the house and have maybe tried counselling and then we can see what they are capable of doing. Maybe once the pressure of being together 24/7 wears off, they can hit a happy medium and have some sort of relationship. All we can hope for is that Daniele is willing to try as Dick already seems ready although he doesn't know the best way to go about it.

My favorite moment with Dani and Zach wasn't described anywhere that I saw but I did see it.. They were working out.. he had come in after she'd been working out for awhile.. They were chatting away and running and then she finished. He said well I'll stop too and she said keep going, I'll keep you company and they kept talking. And I have NO idea how it started but Dani started singing that song from a commercial with cats for some cat product.. the one that just goes meow meow meow meow.. running down a scale.. and then he joined her.. and they were so goofy singing their meows together.. no one there to put them down or anything.. of course BB went to trivia or vortex but I had this goofy grin.

But Lurk - can you see Dani's point that Dick has never tried to act like a parent before and how annoying it would be to have him try to act like one when you are 21 and around other people - and on tv? I do think Dick is trying and I do think he really cares and I don't doubt his love for a minute and I do think Dani likes the victim role. It's obviously worked for her in the past. I would love any child regardless of flaws and I do think Dani loves her father. I think she just might not like him.

The other night when they got the latex body paint and Dick was encouraging its use, I just kept thinking of Dani and how could he be all for this with his own daughter there? It's creepy and I agree with you also Boberg.

I'll bet anything that if any one of the HG's parent was in the house with them, we would see some very baaaad behaviour from the HGs, including Dick!! But I'd be willing to bet that the worst behaved HG would be Jessica. She seems very spoiled, and having a parent in the house would cramp her style, especially the drinking. There are two times when you will see Jessica's face light up. 1) When there is alcohol in the SR 2) When she sees her own reflection.

just to clarify - I do wash my counter before preparing food on it or anything. I am a fanatic on preparing food especially meats.

awwww, Dani says that Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is her favorite movie because it makes her so happy. She said, "all that candy!" She and Zach really seem to have fun, not that horrible serious talk. Much more entertaining to me

I think it's cute that Zach has a crush on Dani but I keep having this silly feeling that he's too old for her. I know it's only 8 years but it seems like more. I shouldn't be bothered by this. My own husband was 14 years older than me and it worked out fine. LOL!

I saw somewhere in my internet travels that prisoners make dice out of wet toilet paper. They could do that and use mascara or something for the dots. I'll call them and suggest it, o.k.?

Sea I absolutely think Dick would respect boundaries if they were reasonable. I think if anyone in the house stood up to him he would have respected them as well. But that's another story. I think if a decent counselor who would explain why Dani needs certain boundaries and how honoring them would gain trust with her he would try very hard to do it. But I think Dani would need to give an inch too and judge him on his actions today. And Sky, I don't believe that he has never tried to act like a parent. I believe whenever he tried either his Mother made him take a different role, or later on when he tried Dani wouldn't deal with him as a parent. I find it hard to believe that he has a VERY solid, parental role with his son, but can't manage to be one to his daughter. Really solidifies my belief that she would rather feel sorry for herself and gain sympathy from others than work towards actually having a Dad. More than anything, I don't think she realizes she is setting herself up for a pattern of behavior that likely won't serve her well in life. With or without Dick I hope she gets into counseling after this. 21 may be young, but it's not THAT young. I think she needs to start taking some control in her life and learn and grow. And I really hope you are right, but I haven't seen much love from her towards Dick. Think about her HoH blog (that she knows we are all reading and Dick will read when he gets out, plus all his friends etc). When she clearly states how her Grandmother is her ONLY family. Why was that shot necessary to Dick and her brother in the HoH blog?? I thought it was very sad actually. I think she has shut down and where he loves her unconditionally (although I do think he doesn't like her much a lot of times and I don't blame him lol), I don't think she conversely does. Sad situation all around. Plus very ironic since I think she is very much like him, esp his nasty characteristics but w/out the endearing side.

See? Zach knows stuff--when Eric is around, suddenly it becomes "oh Zach, you don't know anything." Zach knows stuff. I'm just sayin.'

Well, Lurk, I'll respectfully disagree.. Dick just isn't fatherly around Dani.. and I think reasonable boundaries would include not spitting all over, not blowing smoke in faces, not farting so much, not talking graphic sexual details in front of his daughter or others her age, but that's just my definitiion of reasonable.

I guess like me, Dani must be missing Dick's 'endearing side.' I haven't seen an endearing side to him at all. Everything he's done is to manipulate/bully people...in the name of the game, of course..per him.
