There are numerous posts all over the board about this, so thought I'd create one thread to get opinions. I think this should also include which former HG you think would vote for each, but mostly I want to hear how well you think each woman's strategy worked.

I vote for Lisa to win for only one reason, I think that Dani overplayed her lying, backstabbing hand. I thought she played it brilliantly till the Marc ouster, that is when she really showed that she would do ANYTHING to win. I was completely hoping Dani would win until that happened.

There is something to be said tho for maybe some moral comprimises that Dani may have made in order to be able to afford a home for her family. In the area where Dani lives, an average home goes for nearly 300K, and a 50K downpayment still leaves monthly payments of 2000.00 ++++

That is a lot of pressure on an average family. If one went by the adage that a mortgage payment should not exceed 40 (and it used to be 30) percent of the family income, that means the family income has to be about 5000.00 per month.
Being a resident of California, I shake my head at the real estate prices and wonder how so many people can afford to buy 300K to 500K homes. And the prices just keep going up.

So before we judge Dani for her desperation to get the money, maybe we should realize that having a home in California is a source of desperation for many families. And BTW, average RENT in the general area where Dani lives, for a 2, get that TWO bedroom home is anywhere from 1300 to 2000 per month.

Nonetheless, I predict that Lisa will win because she just didn't p*ss people off as much. And I want her to win because I think she played a more honest game.

The only votes I think will go to Danielle for sure are Jason, Josh, and Amy. And, if Marc gets in touch with Amy, her vote will change.

Amy had a chat on her website Friday evening. She said that she had viewed 10 tapes from the shows and her opinion of Danielle had changed for the worse. I think that may mean that she'll vote for Lisa to win. Amy also said that she was disappointed in Marcellas words and actions toward her on those tapes. She was questioning whether she should be friends with a person like Marcellas. She's also now in touch with Roddy who has and will lobby her to vote for Lisa.

IMO, it sounds like that the only person that could possible convince Amy to vote for Danielle would be Jason.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know about the chat on Amy's website. And I didn't know that she was getting smart about Marc. I would doubt that Jason could convince her, but geez, maybe hormones will come into play.

Sunriverose, Just to let you know, Dani wants to move to Ohio with her parent to be closer to her extended family that currently lives there. 50G's will be plenty for a downpayment on a home there. (I know, I'm from there and still have family living there.) Much lower cost of living than California.

Lisa will throw out Jason's vote leaving Josh as possibly the only vote Dani gets. I think Dani did herself a lot of harm with some of things she said about other houseguests. Lisa took part in a lot of the bashing, but there seems to be a lot more bitterness toward Dani among the evictees from what I've read/seen. Lisa will win by a wide margin.

I'm sure I read somehwere on the board in the last couple of hours that there's no veto of any of the final votes this year, maybe even in the LFPs, so that would certainly affect the vote totals, but most likely won't affect who wins.

Wendo, that sounds like a good plan for Dani. I live on the coast now, but am from the Midwest. I think once I do my time on the coast I may go homeword bound as well. I wonder where her extended family lives in Ohio?

I know it sounds corny, but I guess that Dani is a working class hero for me. She wants tangible things with the money that I can understand, and has motivations that I understand as well. I think of her and think of bills, down payments, braces for the kids--maybe a new boob job. :) That, for me, is why I'd like to see her win it all. But 50K is okay thank you very much.

Lisa played a cleaner game, but I dunno, when I think of Lisa, L.A bars and bare midriffs spring to mind. She just doesn't resonate with me. But I could see when she made her choice to evict Jason that it was genuinely tough for her, and I liked her better for that. I wouldn't mind if she won it all; I just won't be over-the-moon happy.

Please keep the ridicule of my little dreams and delusions to a minimum.

"Why do you think either Dani or Lisa should win?"

Because they are the only two humans left in the house. Seems very logical to me.

Oregon, I can't recall where she said her family lives. I want to say near Cincinati, but I'm not sure. Midwest rocks, I'm in Chicago.

Izzy, Excellent point! LOL!
