Maris | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 10:44 am     We can do what we want Laffy, we are not in a game we are the audience. We can say what we want with the only the risk of having our posts deleted by the thread police. The risk in danni's case is losing out on the $500G. big difference. You can always rephrase a comment but you can not win back the money lost. |
Cindyluvsroddy | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 10:47 am     exactly Maris ... |
Woodpecke® | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 10:50 am     Maris and I are agreeing today. Armaggedon is near. |
Laffy | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:01 am     oh okay. so no one is bashing them as people, just the way they are playing the game. then i guess the statements about dani being "untrustworthy" apply only to her ability to win money and is not a comment on her as a person. if that is the case then i stand corrected. |
Hawaiiandew | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:01 am     I just wanted to point out that Dani does sometimes point things out to people's faces and not always behind their backs. #1 When Lori confronted everyone about gossiping about Gerri's lack of handwashing...Dani was the one who took the blame and ultimately told Gerry the problem (Tonya and Chiara were just as guilty). #2 She ended up showing her "impression" of Amy to Amy herself--and called her a flirt to her face. Danni is like so many of "us" when it comes to gossiping--it is a hard temptation to resist. |
Maris | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:05 am     Danni jumped in and lost it with Lori. Thinking back dont any of you think it was all contrived by her. She never once lost her temper since, not against Roddy, not against Tonya, not against anyone. She wanted Lori to lose her temper and get booted out. Lori was a mother of three kids. I think she set that up from the get go and then promoted the idea that Lori had a mental breakdown and needed to go for her own good. Lori was too strong a person for her to compete against and Marcellas was identified very early on as an emotional basket case. She could deal with him. |
Monalisa | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:07 am     Wow, that one is a stretch....I know a good Dr. if you got hurt reaching that far. LOL |
Maris | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:10 am     I think Danni is a master of control and I just dont buy her going off like that. Not based on how focussed she has been in this game. She has planned her every action and thought everything out. Why would she go over the top like that. It is totally against everything I have seen this season. |
Jaysgal | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:11 am     "#1 When Lori confronted everyone about gossiping about Gerri's lack of handwashing...Dani was the one who took the blame and ultimately told Gerry the problem (Tonya and Chiara were just as guilty)." Reminder: Danielle was actually the one who started the subject of Gerry washing his hands. She then took it to others who, instead of chastising her about her gossipping nature, discussed what to do next with Gerry. To some extent that was understandable because chastising someone you only knew for a few minutes could write you off. People tend to go by first time impression, despite how deceiving it often is. Everything was started by Danielle. If she tried to deny it, it would have gone against her because people would see her denial and hiding behind the door tactic. "#2 She ended up showing her "impression" of Amy to Amy herself--and called her a flirt to her face." Once again, she started the backbiting, so she must end it too. Amy was powerless, just floating, so Danielle could say what she wanted. Secondly, calling someone a flirt is not a bad thing or a bad word. It's a compliment. Remember, Danielle told Amy that she never talks ill of her. Yet, once Amy turned her back, Danielle was back to gossipping and rumour-mongering. As I said, if I were in that house, Danielle would be the first person out of that house if I won HOH and even if I didn't win it. I know professional rumour-mongers are the most dangerous people. I stay away from them like hell. LOL! I saw the signs and warnings with what she did to Gerry and the way she was talking the first day/week. |
What555456 | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:12 am     Maris --hard to say it was a set up by Dani when it was Lori who got angry first and forced the issue into a public confrontation. |
Hawaiiandew | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:12 am     Maris, No I don't see that at all. Dani lost it with Lori because she was so dang annoying. I think Dani hasn't shown that side of herself since because as she admitted later, she didn't want everyone to think of her as "angry black woman". Lori would have went on and on and on like the energiser bunny if someone would not have stepped up. |
Wendo | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:17 am     Onlyhuman said, "Danimom, once again, you and the defenders of Danielle's behavior have turned this into a comparison of all the HGs rather than a defense (or admiration) of Danielle's actions." Only, I don't think any one is defending Dani, only pointing out that the standard is higher for Dani then the other HG's. If the jury is going to use her trash talking as a motivation on whether or not they give her a vote in the end, then it is only fair to point out how they're being hypocritical since they themselves participated in such behavior. It's a valid argument since they've said it's how they'll make their decisions. |
Cricket | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:18 am     Exactly, Hawaii. Dani took stock of herself after the spat with Lori and decided that was not how she wanted to be in the house. It was a very smart move. She is only 4 or 5 years older than most of the houseguests (Chiara, Lisa, Amy, Marci, etc) and yet she is so very mature. |
Wendo | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:20 am     Jaysgal, to be fair regarding the Gerry handwashing incident. She brought it up initially with the other HG's in order to figure out what to do about the situation. (That someone was preparing their food with unclean hands.) However, yes, it did spin out of control when others joined and the jumped on the "ew" factor rather than trying to solve the problem. However, I chalk that up to the fact they had only known each other for what, a few days. Hard to know how to deal with such a situation with strangers, let alone friends. |
Hawaiiandew | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:21 am     Jaysgal, You are right, the rumor mongers are the most dangerous. But they are also the most effective in this game. I am sure it is not easy to evict people, so if you villanize them a little bit it makes it easier to evict them. I think Dani caught on to this early and it has really worked well for her to a point. Obviously, I am a Dani fan. However, I do not think she will win because of people's pride. If they took a good look, they would see it was a strategy and give her the game. I think Dani is trustworthy---to Jason. How can you possibly be trustworthy to everyone in the house and still be in the game? Not possible. |
Bigbrotherbelle | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:21 am     "She ended up showing her "impression" of Amy to Amy herself--and called her a flirt to her face." Did she also call Amy a fat pig to her face? Did she also tell Amy that she was telling the other hgs that Amy flashed Jason? Did she also tell Amy that "at least Chiara had class, and Amy, you either have it or you don't, and Amy, you don't"? As for Gerry, did she tell Gerry, wash your hands, and leave it at that? No, she went on and on for the remainder of his stay, and sometime afterwards. The reason why she told Gerry to his face was because Lori confronted her about it. There is no way on earth she would have said anything otherwise... because she never said anything about it to him again. When he was washing underwear in the sink, she told him, no it's ok. Did she also tell Roddy to his face "You de devil"? |
Monalisa | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:22 am     Maris, You mean she sized up the two, knew who she could control and not within how many hours? I think you give Dani more credit than even I do. She's good, but I don't think she is that good. |
What555456 | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:29 am     So many of you attack Dani for not being honest with others but then say her being so honest is the DR will be her downfall. She was either honest or she was not. If you think she is going to lose because of what she said in the DR than you are saying she is going to lose because she was being honest in a place where the others would see it. You can't have it both ways -- damning her for being dishonest and then saying she will lose because of her honesty. |
Hawaiiandew | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:33 am     Bigbrotherbelle, I said she "sometimes" tells people things to their face. I could be wrong but.. I never heard her call Amy a "big fat pig" and I believe Lisa is the one that said Amy flashed Jason by doing a High Kick in the living room with only her robe on. She knew if she told Roddy to his face that she thought he was the "Devil", he would come after her faster than you can say OUT DAMN SPOT. Not trying to split hairs but just making conversation. |
Cindyluvsroddy | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:33 am     what - peoples problem with dani isnt about her not being honest ... it is simply about her name calling behind other hg's backs ... |
What555456 | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:36 am     Cindy True enough about what people on this Board are saying. But so many have complained about her talking behind the others' backs --and then say she will not get their votes because they will all see what she really said in the DR. I don't see how you can have it both ways -- saying on the one hand it was behind their backs and on the other hand she will lose because they all heard it from her own mouth. |
Monalisa | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:37 am     Cindy, then they should have the same problem with other hg's. I don't see it, for some reason it's a different standard being used with Danielle. |
Hawaiiandew | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:43 am     I think people need to remember that DR stands for DIARY room. The houseguests are encouraged to speak in the DR just like they would record comments in a Diary. I always tell my daughter when she is angry with people to go write about it in her diary and get it out of her system. I think it is kind of unfair to the houseguests that the jury gets to see the Diary Room sessions Really the producers only have the DR for "our" entertainment. Imagine if all the houseguests DR's were like Roddy's---how boring would that be? |
Itsallgood | Friday, September 20, 2002 - 11:45 am     bump - #100 Most Trustworthy Bump Of All! LOL |
