Yes, Jeneane, everyone deserves to win for the way they play. I don't like to see someone stooping to the level of 'poor, struggling me' to get votes. I believe it speaks volumes about her that she has to resort to that type of thing. I would rather see someone like Will win than Autumn or Krista, which is basically what Dani has become. Anyway, it's all for naught, the other HGs see right through it. Time to go to the Zen thread, lol.

You can't be serious Wendo..I beleive Roddy was referred to as a sociopath, abuser, mind f**ker, and so many other *personal* attacks - not that it's ok to bash Dani because of it.

Dani already has a house, and I don't see them starving for food either...and her boobs, where did she get the money for her boobs? I can see how she needs money, yeah right!!!

I am sure each and every one in there could use the money, i am sick of the pity party going on with Dani...now I am going to visit the Zen thread and chill a bit!!!

I agree Zeyna, people were even saying that Roddy is a child abusing priest in hiding,a serial killer, and a wife/woman beater. That's not personal???
Her 'poor me' card is getting old.

Dntx, I respect your opinion because at first I questioned Dani' playing the poor card--Dani is the one who put it out there--but after thinking about it and putting myself in her place, I feel pretty much the same as WCV and Earthmother on this topic...Dani was a young mother who had a baby sooner than expected so I am sure they did not have insurance to cover the first baby--this in itself can start a chain reaction of debt. Even though I was married when I got pregnant with my first child 22 years ago, I got pregnant prior to the 30 day waiting period (according to the terms of hubby's policy) without insurance for this pregancy a chain reaction took place of debt. Sure we got out of it but it wasn't easy...

JMHO, from looking at the first show and things they have said I think Lisa is the one who is in most need of the money.

Just to add... we have a thread complaining about Roddy's "little girl voice". This has nothing to do with strategy and tactics.

This really is just too much! Dani has actually said she would buy a house WHEN SOMEONEASKED HER! Dani has said she's playing this game FOR HER FAMILY when faced with a serious choice (keeping her word to Amy).

If I was in that house *I* would be singing it loud and clear every 5 minutes, plus the widow card, thus single mother card as well like a broken record. This is a game and if you don't go to win there is no point in leaving your family this long.

Find some other reason to critize her that actually pertains to this game or her stradgy, but lay off her financal situation, unless you make this point a level playing field and place ALL the HG's on it. Fair is only fair after all.

P.S. Just a small point yes Gerry has kids too, the only other one left now, however his kids are all grown.

The audacity of Dani !!!! She lives in an apartment complex and has the temerity to want to help her family move into a house! Imagine, a HOUSE, where this coniving woman may actually accrue EQUITY, instead of living in an apartment that gives you nothing when you move out of it. She should hang her head in shame!! baaaad Dani, baaaad baaaaad Dani. PLUS, that equity may come in handy when she and her husband reach the age of RETIREMENT (should they ever have the nerve to actually think of EVER retiring)!!! How dare she plan for a life that may alleviate future financial burdens. I for one am appalled!!!

Go get em Dani.

Why does a possible Dani victory have to be tainted simply because of her financial situation? Dang! How about giving her the money because she played the game the best? If Bill Gates played the best I'd give it to him and could care less how wealthy he was.

Has anyone considered that someone within the house tried to find a flaw in giving Dani the money in advance just in case they were sitting next to her? Is this the best they could do to try and derail her victory if she earns it? What are they gonna do? Cry foul that she allegedly used the "poor me" card. It's a cheap shot! If she has earned it by playing the best in the end then give the woman her victory. Sheesh! I have yet to hear her say she DESERVES the money because she is poor.

The only thing her storys about her family have done is made them realize that if she earns it and you decide to give it to her that she will do good by the money. Thats all it means. It isn't some gimmick of hers. I'm still asking myself... Who in hell would vote based on how they would spend the money or who NEEDS the money? It's about who played the best.

As far as I can see, Dani has never said she NEEDS a house, but just that having one is her fondest wish and that is why she is on BB and away from her family. Should she have kept that truth to herself? Apparently she should have.
However I do remember that lots of people voted for Eddie on BB1 to win because he needed the money more than the others. He often spoke of the ways in which he could use the money. I'm well aware that there are differences between BB1 and BB3, but still the voters will hear and decide whether Dani's making a mistake in giving reasons why she wants to win the money.

Attacking Dani's reasons for trying to win this game will not avenge the hateful things people are saying about Roddy. It is never ok to make those kinds of personal comments about others, that is the only reason I have a problem with Marc.

Saying mean and hurtful things about others is not fair play on the show or on the boards. I think it is done for shock value and usually only leads to anger. Baiting posters by making unkind comments about the hgs as people not their actions is childish.IMO

It's one thing to say I don't like her for doing this or saying that, but quite another to say she is a **** or ****. It has no purpose except to light fires that mods have to put out, and really makes you look foolish.

Yeah go get em Dani! She can do whatever she pleases with the money if she wins, and she can use whatever strategy she wants to in order to win! If begging for sympathy is her choice of strategy, so be it!

Everyone in the house has a strategy, everyone. At one point or another everyone's strategy will get on someone's nerves, its the nature of the friggin game. I don't have to like it, I don't have to agree, these people can play the game as they want.

I think the ones that are pissed at her storys are the ones that can't come up with a gimmick themselves and they know if they are sitting next to her they might not have a chance and they will convince themselves that she only got the money based on pitty when all of us viewers could say she worked damn hard to get the money if she gets to the end. As it stands thats what she's gonna have to do to get there. We already know that Marcellus hates that idea and thats why he wants her gone. Roddy hates it as well because he thinks she could beat him as well and he would never admit she was better at this game than him. He will say it was charity. It's all jealousy to jade the truth. If she gets it she earned it and it's a great feeling to know that she would put it too good use and not run around town looking for fame on top of everything else.

You're right, Zeyna, Roddy has been called all of the things you mentioned.

Also, nobody is criticizing Dani because of Roddy. That is silly for someone to even see it that way. I for one have never called Dani evil or anything close to the things Roddy has been called. I do not like the way she is using the 'bleeding heart' card as someone called it. That has nothing whatsoever to do with Roddy or Roddy being bashed constantly. I have just noticed that the second someone criticizes anything Dani does, they are pounced upon. I have read a lot of hateful, vile stuff about Roddy and usually ignore it. I have just had enough of some people thinking they have the right to criticize to a HG and yet some other HGs are beyond reproach. Nuff said.

I have no kids, but I fully support Dani, and her quest for a better life for her family. We do not vote on the winner...the people who have lived with each other in that environment get to do decide who most deserves the prize money. It really doesn't matter what the criteria is for picking who wins. Is it who plays the game the best, who manipulated best, who was most photogenic, who was the nicest, who cares. Dani has just repeatedly expressed that she is there to win the money...not to become a movie star, not to make lifelong friends, but to win money to help out her family. No one has said she is going to win, but everyone seems to have gotten their panties in a bunch over this.

I'll ask again.

How often does Dani say that she needs a house?

Well---I hope Danielle gets her house one way or the other---but I hope her 2 daughters do not follow her example of talking trash about people behind thier backs.

Everyone in the house except for Gerry has been guilty of it--even Jason has joined in even though he knows it is wrong---and Roddy, just once, when he first realized how powerful Danielle was.

Battlestar you are wrong there..Gerry has been trashing Amy since he was nominated with her..he is no better than the rest of them

Well, I have no children and am totally sympathetic to Danielle's desire to have a house of her own. I don't think Dani has ever expressed any desire for pity from anyone. She's just stated what her goal is. Lisa has stated that she just wants to take pictures! The horror, she's trapped in a house where she can't get her hands on a camera, yet she's surrounded by cameras. And where did she get the money to take a train out to the West? The train is more expensive than an airplane. Why didn't she hitchhike? She could have taken some great pictures along the way! She could have invested in a cheap bicycle and taken months to cross the country. I suspect she doesn't have much money because she spends so much on hair products. Wait--she's worked as a bartender! She probably spends all her money on booze at after-hours partying. How dare she even enter a mall--probably to find some cute outfit to go to one of those after-hours parties! What a fool, she should be saving her money for the day she needs botox injections or implants or a house of her own!

Lombadier...every hg is criticized on this board. Every single one. Some have more supporters. Some have more detractors.

Sometimes the supporters and detractors debate the merits of the houseguests and their strategies.

It's hard being in the minority. It makes it so much harder to defend your favorites because for every one of your posts there are 20 posts defending the other position. It can be overwhelming.

It doesn't negate your opinion that others' opinions are different. Please continue to post and if you get frustrated just remember....at least you haven't been nominated for eviction.

Zeyna, I'm not denying that people haven't made personal attacks on Roddy. But I can say that I haven't. All my posts about Roddy have been how he plays the game, his tactics, and strategy. My comments, and I even take the time to point it out often, have always been within the game parameters, as well as the parameters of this board.

Attacking Roddy personally isn't any better than attacking Danielle.

Exactly, Pcakes. Is it more noble to be competing to get "face time" to attain a career in show business than to try for the money to buy a home for your family? The voters will decide based on that and many other criteria. I personally wouldn't vote based on a hgs reasons for competing.

Live feeds said Dani pays $1200 rent. If she were
smart, she would have saved for a down payment and
could easily afford a house with that kind of
payment. My guess is that she's in debt like a lot
of people her age...and is looking for an easy
way (or not so easy) out. Like we OWE her.
