Although I supported Lisa to win, and jumped on the anti-Dani bandwagon, it is a very compelling article. Kinda makes you go "hmmmm".....

Ah well, there's always next year...

Thanks Gramma for posting

Just more sour grapes to me. Everyone knows how to play the game better than everyone else. Everyone would have and could have done this or that better. The facts are that 12 people went into a game with little understanding as to what rules were to be followed. So, they made up the rules they each wished to follow. Just as in life, you either get along together or you go it alone. You try to get ahead by walking on others and you end up on your butt on the floor.

Dani is on her butt on the floor. That's the way the game was played. She simply did not have what it took to win this particular game with these particular people.

The best player did win. Now everyone wants to tell the jury why they should of voted differently. The Jury made the right decision, it was their choice to vote how they wanted. No one has a right to say you should of voted this way or that way. Some of the jury probably would of voted differently but Danielle blew it for herself when she said she had no regrets. Thats fine have no regrets but don't expect to get my vote. Is what the jury said. And that is what happen last night. I now wish Lisa had of choosen Jason to go to the finals instead of Danielle. I'm not sure Danielle or her fans appreciates her getting the money she did get. Should of just sent her home with her stipend if this is how people feel. All of you who feel she should of won and are not satified with her getting second should simply ask Dani to give the money back. Or donate it to charity.

I agree, Bbholden. Playing for the end vote is what makes Big Brother different from other reality TV shows, and what makes it interesting to me. If you fail to play for the end vote then you didn't play well.

Foodbunny your right but some people don't want to admit it. Danielle end game was seriously flawed. I don't know why people can't be happy for both of them. I was until I keep hearing Dani was robbed, and the best person didn't win. I hate to say it but now I wish Dani hadn't got anything.

The article summarized my feelings perfectly, and the sour grapes I saw were from the hypocritical EHG last night.

what a bunch a phooey!! Maybe Lisa didn't WIN the game in the same manner as Danielle tried to win it-----but the real reason why Danielle does not have the money is because Danielle LOST the game. It was all eviction to her---and her IGNORANCE on how to win the game .

Nicole LOST the game last year in much the same manner.

I didn't get to read this article because as soon as I went there, I was bombarded with pop-ups, so many that I had three or four popping up at the same time, and as I was deleting them each one triggered more. I had to close down my computer and yell for help from my son, who was luckily at home, before I got them all shut down.
Sorry but this is one time I can't say-thanks for the link!

As I see it, that is his/her opinion. Now here is mine.

Dani's mouth overloaded her arse! Lisa's strategy was her own and she played it well.

They chose to keep her so I guess they underestimated her. They only "kept" Amy as a pawn and because she was so good at competitions they evicted her.

Yes, the best person won in my opinon and last nights finale was the BEST! I loved it!

I agree with everything the article said. I did think Danielle should have won, or at least had a couple more votes, but that's not the only reason what happened last night was not such a great thing. Here's why:

The outcome of this game sets a very dangerous precedent for future Big Brothers. Next year people will think twice before speaking their mind in the Diary Room. Good for them, bad for us. And, actually, not as good for them as one might think. Danielle obviously used the DR as a place to vent and let off steam and get her thoughts in order (a form of therapy, really). If everyone is afraid to talk strategy in there, afraid to say what they really think, we as viewers cease to understand what is really going on in the house and are left clueless. If we can't follow the game, there will no longer be any enjoyment in watching it.

This is not just a game where someone wins $500K. It is also a SHOW, and we cannot forget that. For the people in the game it is all about winning, but for us (and for CBS) it is about entertainment. What if everyone's DR sessions were like Roddy's or Lisa's? BORING!!! Who wants to see Diary Room sessions that are all an act? As if we don't get enough of that everywhere else in the house. But the 9-1 vote last night against the one who spoke her mind in the DR sealed the deal.

Congratulations, Jury, on insuring that next year's Big Brother will be fake, boring, and leave us viewers in the dark.

um Kendalia..the future HGs of BB4 don't watch the show..

It just occurred to me that Danielle wasn't all that great of a game player. If she was so wonderful, she would have taken someone to the finals that she could beat. But she didn't do that because she wanted it to be a "good" person.

And a good person won. So it really wasn't a good strategy for Danielle, was it?

If Danielle had played a REALLY good game, she would have let Marcellas take out Jason and Lisa and gone with him to the finals. But she didn't.

In the end, her strategy let her down just as much as her trashing of the other HGs.

The mantra of the Dani supporters seems to be:

"Lets blame the jury" and "Its the end of Big Brother as we know it!" (entertainment wise)

Lots of sour grapes indeed.

The best player won - and her name is Lisa!

I for one am looking forward to BB4!

You know, Zachsmom, that does seem to be true (why is that, anyway?). ;)

But even those who didn't watch last summer watched some of the tapes...they will speak for themselves.

The best person didn't win..it is the truth..alot of you people have your own opinions and that is fine...but maybe you should try to accept the truth..in the end who was really the better player?..that should be a easy question to answer..Danielle!

Whoever wrote that article is brillant

Look folks - let's be honest - Lisa had one foot out the door after Amy was evicted. Her only chance at final two (never mind a win!)was to nab the final HOH in what she knew to be a 'two against one' situation.

Now, I don't care if it's the Super Bowl that comes down to a last second field goal, the World Series 9th inning with 2 outs and a runner on third, the Miss America pageant with one inane interview question left to go, or Big Brother with one last HOH between you and the check...whatever and however you played the game prior to that moment no longer counts or matters if you are unable to rise to the final challenge and win the game.

Danielle said her biggest regret was letting go of the key. Why? Because in that instant, in relinquishing control...she lost the game. She covered her own a$$ in making the deal with Lisa and then hopped out of the pool HOPING Jason would beat Lisa in the end...no one left to manipulate, they were down to 'may the best man win'.

I think Danielle (and Jason) totally underestimated Lisa's determination to win. You saw Lisa in the pool...she was cool as a cucumber while Danielle shivered and shook and bailed and whined.

Lisa said it best when answering a question from an EHG; "I brought Danielle to final with me...". Without Lisa, Danielle wouldn't have even been in the final two.

Lisa stepped up. She won. She earned it.

No question she was the best player.

depends on the definition, I go with the player who had enough brains to keep her mouth shut when she needed to.

Maryk, I am a Dani supporter, I won't lie. But this idea does not come from that place. This is something I had thought about much earlier in the game when Danielle was nowhere near a factor in the final two--and not specifically in regards to her.

The fact of the matter is that being real in the Diary Room is what keeps the show interesting and what makes it...well, make sense at all! Take that away and what do you have?

It amazes me that people seem to be gauging the fact the Danielle should have won, just because Will won last year for the same tactics. Is this a standard being set by BigBrother fans? I think without question, that Lisa earned her win. Its almost becoming a rule that you can only win if you play evil and nasty such as Will and Danielle did. Who made up that rule?
