This "child" is in high school. I hope Dani will step in and explain that she is coming home $50,000 RICHER. For that, the kid should be thankful instead of whining. All the other kids involved had parents bring home only stipends and some of those were small by comparison.

As far as behavior, Dani will have to take full responsibility for that and make her private amends to her family.

Woodpecke® said, "No parents????? I have a better idea. How about all the players being between the age of 40 and 55, except for 2 token players in their 20's or 30's. I would love to watch that show."

Now THIS would be great. I'd watch the feeds ALL the time. Having the 20 and 30 year olds in the minority. Woo hoo! (And, I'm in my early 30's.) Good suggestion.

Kailas, I think you're misunderstanding Dani's older child's disappointment with "whining". It's not at all impossible to understand that her daughter would be disappointed. (I'd be disappointed too, and I'm 33). However, to interpret it as whining I don't think is accurate. JMO.

Wendo,
Much as your idea has merit, and I'm in my 40s, I have a feeling, they would all be asleep by 6pm every night. Then what would we do? Argue with each other here? :)

I didn't hear about Colleen Howe's illness. I am going hunting for news about it, unless you post something about it now. Go Wings! Thank you Sherbabe.

Wood, I would like to see that too, it would be a hoot. CBS's profiling with the token "older" guy, the token "gay" guy and the token black chick are getting a little old.

I know they are trying to appeal to a younger audience, but I would be willing to bet their biggest audience group is older than they suspect.

Another irony. Banning parents from participating in reality TV sounds rather Big Brotherish doesn't it? There are good parents and bad parents and Big Brother isn't going to change that one way or the other. I don't like discrimination in any form.

I don't think Dani going on BB3 for 3 months is going to emotionally ruin her children. Her youngest child started high school, it's not like she was still being breast fed. Besides, Danielle's motives were to provide the kids with a new home and quit work to be a stay at home Mom. Being the mother of 2 teenagers myself, I'm guessing Danielle suffered far more than what her kids did by her absence (they really aren't that "clingy" at that age). They did have their father and their grandparents taking care of them for 3 months.

As for having all older people on the show, NO, they are too mellow, generally speaking...lol. Of course you can find the 50 year old woman who had 3 face lifts and thinks she looks 29, the 53 yr old man on viagra, the 42 year old woman thinking about cheating on her husband, the 49 year old man going through a mid-life crisis. If you throw in 2 young token players, then you had better send in security with them....lol.

The thing that bugs me is why is the older guy always out of shape? Can't they find an active older guy who can at least give the young ones a run for their money in a physical sense. There are lots of them out there.

Exactly, Jimmer. The casting on this show focuses on doughy men over 40. I am 43 and in the best shape of my life. Plenty of men and women over 40 would be fun and entertaining. CBS should scan this board and take all 12 BB4 contestants from this site. I guarantee a great show.

I think it's possible that Dani's daughter was upset not so much that they were getting less money, but because she knew how important it was to her mom and the manner in which she was voted out that night. It would be hard to watch so many people angry with your mom and watch her mother's tears. I'd like to give her daughter the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't purely whining about the money.

I think parents should be allowed to be on the show also. It's the parents' responsibility to conduct themselves the way a parent should. Some reality show contestants have seemed to have been good parents, some haven't. Just like in real life. :)

Danielle's girls seemed much younger than high school aged......well at least the youngest one did. Maybe I'm wrong.

Do the math.. Dani had Christian at age 16.. Dani is 30.

Paxton, I believe, was born after Dani and Javier actually got married.. I think she said that was 10 years ago.. so Paxton's definitely not in HS.

I never heard or read about Tonya saying she was on cocaine for three of her kids' conceptions, but I sure heard Dani repeat it a bunch of times.. so it could be that Tonya said this before the internet feeds started? Not defending Tonya, but Dani had NO reason to be putting that info out there and she started immediately after Tonya left the house.

I thought Dani said that her daughter was disappointed by how the voting was so lopsided. Understandable. And of course the daughters probably knew that Dani had no job to go back to, which Dani didn't know (she sent that letter to her boss, or had it sent, after she was already sequestered).
