Hardywins | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 03:58 pm     Something about when you lie to one of the enemy, you have to squeeze their wrist or tap their shoulder. What is this? Voodoo Pricess curses? |
Crossfire | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 04:00 pm     Cool, something to watch for. Now we know when she is lying to someone. |
Tracy | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 04:04 pm     Could it just be so the others in the alliance know what's going on? Why does she have to be a voodoo princess? What were TLC with the code talking? |
Poohbear | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 04:12 pm     Hmmmmm hand motions while lying to the enemy.......heh heh heh....I can think of a few "hand signals" I would like to give to a few of the HG's. hehehe! Pooh |
Spygirl | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 04:15 pm     Danielle was telling Jason how to answer a question without lying. If Marsellas or Amy asks Jason to keep 'em, this is what she said to say: "Don't you worry. I'm gonna make the right vote" And then, if it is a female, kiss 'em, if it is a male, then give the shoulder squeeze. She said, "This way, you aren't lying to anyone". |
Floresmama | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 04:18 pm     What I got from that was she was telling him ways to throw people off so they think you are on there side/telling the truth. Like politicians do. She was just adding one more to the other ones she had already told them about and that was a kiss on the cheek. I think Danielle is giving Roddy a run for his money in the race for who is smartest in the house. I guess we will see how it all plays out. I for one love Danielle. But Will was my favorite last year. |
Goatgirl | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 04:20 pm     I don't get why they would do this?? People give off enough nonverbal subtle physical cues when they are lying or otherwise evading the truth - adding a fake forced physical gesture is another little signal to the other person that something isn't quite right. |
Tabbyking | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 05:45 pm     what about this signal and conversation: "how many finger am i holding up?" |
Crazyfan | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 05:53 pm     I went to a sales seminar once and one of the ways to get someone to trust you was to touch them. Touch is very powerful, kudos to Danielle. However I would not be telling my secrets to others. |
Choopyaz | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 05:54 pm     ...I don't get why they would do this?? Wasn't it Barnum that said, "Sincerety is the most important thing; once you learn how to fake that you've got it made." |
Tootseug | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 06:06 pm     Spygirl, I am confused about something. Here is your quote: "If Marsellas or Amy asks Jason to keep 'em, this is what she said to say:" Danielle, Jason and Marcelles are in an alliance together. Danielle talked to Marcelles last night about this technique that you refer to. So WHY would she be telling Jason, the 3rd member of the alliance how to handle Marcelle, the 2nd alliance member.??? Could you have misheard, maybe she only mentioned Amy..??? |
Earthmother | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 06:07 pm     Finally we get physical non-verbal gestures from people with their clothes on who are not in Looooovvvvvvveeeeeee..yipeeeee |
C1mag | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 06:18 pm     I think it's brilliant. Body contact is a mask. Not actually aknowledging who you would vote for covers your ass if someone calls you a liar. Very, very good idea. Works for me. By the way, Toot she was using the two current nominee's as an example. Not too mention if someone decides to pull a last minute poll before this vote you will know who they are booting but they won't know who you are booting. She is still in this with Marci so don't worry. |
Ark | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 06:27 pm     I think Dani has done her homework. Touching someone is reassuring and encourages trust. It can also divert attention away from the fact that you're not really answering the question the way they want it answered. Go Dani. |
Spygirl | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 06:52 pm     It is completely possible that I misheard. She never said any names, but she did specifically mention mixed genders (hence the difference in how to handle women and men) and how to handle the voting question (Will you vote to keep me?). I inferred the Marsellas/Amy thing when it is entirely possible she was prepping him for the future So sorry for the confusion! I know better than to "assume" -- hehe |

Poohbear | Monday, July 29, 2002 - 08:32 pm     <edit> |
Bernie | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 12:24 pm     That's interesting, because she did exactly that when talking to someone before the last eviction vote, and I thought at the time, what a smoothie! I can't help but think of the Judas kiss though-makes me squirm a bit :-{ |
Misschris | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 01:47 pm     From The Godfather Part II Michael Corleone to his brother Fredo Corleone as he kisses him on the cheek after learning that Fredo had sold him out... "I knew it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart." Next thing you know Fredo is sleeping with the fishies. Dani has said that she likes to watch tons of movies when she has a day off. Methinks she likes gangster films. hmmm. |
Maryann | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 02:34 pm     Dani has said that she likes to watch tons of movies when she has a day off. Methinks she likes gangster films. hmmm.<<MissChris === My kinda gal!When I watch the Godfather I tend to start talking like Marlon Brando. |
Sunriverose | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 09:18 pm     Danielle has more class in her little finger than any other HG has in their entire body. Dani/Wacked???????? I think not!!!!!!!! |
Bmh | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 09:20 pm     I agree with you Sunriverose..Im tired of all this hating on Dani..she has class..and I admire her alot for raising kids when she was only 16..she has alot of courage and strength..and is very mature and responsible..and the only reason she is playing this game full tilt is because she wants the best for family |
Hawaiiandew | Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 09:46 pm     I think Dani is wonderful. I love how you can watch her just sitting there and soaking in what everyone else is saying instead of jabbering on and on "showing your cards" like Josh does. Dani is 3 shades of sly and the family stone!!! |
Cyn | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 05:12 am     Dani told the guys while they were in bed (separate beds) last night: "squeeze the guys shoulder and hug and kiss the girls - the kiss of death." |
Thedunit | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 06:43 am     I really do not believe that Danielle is as good and sly as she thinks she is. She has been laying kind of low which does not mean that she is good! If she manages to get into another shouting match with someone she will once again show her true colors. I would love to see her up for nomination and see how she conducts herself all week. |
Ginger1218 | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 07:32 am     Ok, I like Dani too, BUT - I get a little tired of people spouting the Bible and G*d and then planning on destruction of others. And then, to say it's ok to lie, as long as you squeeze their shoulders or smile or kiss them. Come on now. Truly religious people do not use their religion to rationalize the mean things they do. If you are gonna be a scheming b*tch- at least admit to it. Ya get more respect that way. |
Romans8_1 | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 08:21 am     I'm always a little confused with the way people (fans and contestants) react to Christians on reality shows. I remember the way the contestants bashed the 2 girls at the end of Survivor. It seems to be "hypocrital" for a Christian to lie and deceive in a game. Does this mean that a Christian can't play chess because he has to use deceipt and stategy? Does this mean a Christian cannot play basketball because he faked left and went right? Let's keep this in context. Using deceipt/strategy in a game (such as this) does not say anything bad about them as a Christian. If they practice deceipt outside the game, then that is a different story. I (yes I'm a struggling Christian) would have no problem with Jason if he did go all out deceiving and stategizing all over the place. The context .... this is a game. |
Wcv63 | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 08:24 am     Great post Romans. I agree with you completely. |
Ginger1218 | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 12:05 pm     Sorry, but deceit is one thing - lies are one thing, but outright viciousness does not make a good G*d loving person. Be it Christian, Jew, Muslim, etc. You do not need to be mean and vicious to win a game. Cunning, and smarts do it, but not viciousness. |
Mystery | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 01:50 pm     I wonder far a person could go with deceiving and strategizing before they've performed actions that "say anything bad about them as a Christian." If it's okay in the context of the game, then why would it not be okay in the context of a business deal where the parameters are the same--money is at stake, the people involved are all working hard to promote their own interests. And if it's okay in a business deal that mirrors the Big Brother circumstances, then how small or large a step is it to say that it's okay in all business dealings? I think it would be interesting to see someone use the forum of being on BB to promote their idea of a good lifestyle. I'm probably in the minority on this but I certainly wouldn't want to hear anyone on the show espouse Christian values and then act deceitful (or espouse ANY values and then act in a contrary manner) regardless of the context of the game. People can act however they want; I just don't want to hear them claim that they usually act otherwise. |
Christy358 | Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 02:07 pm     Dani did not tell Jason to lie. She told him how to make people believe what they want to believe while telling the truth. Vecepia on Survivor took this to an entirely different level. She said she knew she was telling lies, she knew that was wrong, but that as long as she asked for forgiveness, then it was OK with her and her God. I think that is different. |
