i dont know why? are they afraid of an "angry black woman"? everyone gets into little arguments, but it seems danielle is held to a higher standard than the other hg's........almost like she has a "mystical" quality to avoid anyone confronting her........how does she do it?

Bbrules,
I was thinking the same. They are so weak. Dani offers placement for others and I have to ask who died and made her boss of the house.
If she offered a second place to me, I'd tell her to shove it pretty fast. Like I don't deserve first place? I'm hoping by eviction night people are on to her.

No one confronts Dani because she never threatens anyone. She uses persuasion, not force. Conjoling, not anger. She talks them through their decisions, explaining why she thinks it is in their interest to make a certain decision. But she never tells anyone they MUST vote her way. Nor does she threaten them into doing so. Nor does she ever confront them afterward if they did not.

They all understand what Dani is doing and respect her for it. Why? Because she treats THEM with respect. They know they are competitors with her and she knows it too. But up until now, it has been a respectful competition.

This could change, in fact it probably will. But up until now, there has been no reason to confront her at all.

Exactly What! In addition she hasn't offered anyone "Second placement". What she has said is that she'd rather come in 2nd to them than anyone else in the house. So what she is essentially saying is that she thinks they are a winner. Heady stuff.

Good answer, What. I saw the title of this thread and wondered just what Danielle has done that is worthy of confrontation. You hit the nail on the head.

The only one who did so far was Lori and we saw that Danielle can become quite angry.

But I agree with With.. her "cajoling" and like someone else said "gentle nudges" are methods quite acceptable by everyone else in the house and by me as well. I would never make an enemy of a person like that.

Frankly, she intimidates them. Lori confronted her, Lori was actually correct in all she said and Dani blew it up into a confrontation that resulted in Lori being voted out.

It is also hard to confront someone who almost never actually gives an actual answer or committment.

Dani is all about.. just trust me, don't question me, if it happens it is meant to be, I know what I have to do..

but you don't know what that is.. so what is there to confront.

Like do you think Dani actually wanted to get POV today? She made a huge deal to Chiara and Roddy that she HAD to get it, so she gets credit for wanting it, but when I saw that Chiara said she thought Dani was going to win today.. I'm getting that Dani managed to come in second to Gerry and Chiara was implying that she wondered if Dani threw it.. but of course Dani just said she thought she'd win too.. :) So what is there to confront.

What has she done that might bring on a confrontation.. oh.. lied, manipulated, denigrated almost everyone else, implied that she is better, etc etc.

Dani has them all convinced that they are special in her eyes --why would they confront that.

And this specialness does not include talking about it with anyone else/ not that she has saind not to in so many words, but each of them believe that they will be with Danielle in the final 2.

Danielle WILL NOT even try to get the final HOH, because the odds are she will have 2 people there that are on her side
