because the other houseguests act that way!

-she's the only houseguest never to be "confronted" about anything
-they all seem to "look up" to her, kinda like a mother-figure
-they know shes playing for her family, a "noble" cause
-she says they have never really "seen her angry"...she really can get all "ghetto" if pushed
-she has a certain "poise" about her and often says she has "class"


all these factors make her untouchable.....impossible to put up for nomination/voted for eviction....thats why i think she will win.

Not anymore. Dani fell down and broke her crown. She is now tarnished for good.

No way! Danielle wasn't very classy when she was talkin' crap behind Gerry's back and was confronted by Lori.

I just think that people hadn't figured her out until now. She really blew her wad this week. My guess is that she will be gone in the next two weeks.

I didn't think danielle had the ability to "blow a wad?"..:)

It's none of the above. Dani doesn't give me the impression of quiet refinement. She's shown that she's just another liar among many, untrustworthy, for herself, no guts to do her own work, hiding behind montherhood and apple pie and any of the other houseguests as needed.
But she sure can play this game. Applause, but goodbye and don't look back.

When Lori confronted her that night, I really wanted her to STAY in the house. I think Lori would have really made the show interesting. Oh well, she's gone....and soon....Danielle will be gone too.....like I said, two weeks!

Dani's best move was to take charge of AB Class, she had the whole house automatically thinking of her as an authority figure, by becoming caught up in keeping eyes CLOSED and her mouth OPEN she put herself in jeopardy.

Well, this week she has had her mouth open and her eyes closed and I think she bought the farm or the swamp land in Florida.

LOL, Granny, just when I thought I was being clever, we post the same thing.

I love Danielle, she cooks them all dinner and always makes sure they have enough, I can't help liking her no matter what's happened.

None of the HG's are beyond reproach, even Dani. This game is all about lying to reach an end. In this case, the end is half a million dollars. For that, they have to fight their own morals and ideals.

And, after today's events, Dani's likely toast.

"cooking dinner and making sure everyone has enough" could be called solicitous in some cases.... I had a mother-in-law like that. She even volunteered to give up her seat at the table and "sit on the couch and eat out of a saucer." ...for our "benefit."

She's pretty good at heaping "reproach" every one else but she's been very much into the game playing and nastiness.

Most of her interactions are cloaked in "mothering" (though often I think she's bullying and dictating) but almost every one of her interactionsare done with a clear agenda. It doesn't seem like she trusted anyone and I think now she's pretty frazzled because people are seeing her game.

I haven't noticed a lack of people who are cooking in the house. Amy, Marcellas, Josh, Roddy, Chiara, Lisa.. I cannot actually remember back to Lori and Tonya. I don't remember if Eric cooked. Gerry of course is totally willing to cook, but his efforts are pretty much shunned. So I don't think Dani's a particular standout. Not saying she doesn't do her part.

I think people have her figured out now. But that doesn't mean she's history. Look at Gerry.
If Gerry goes, she could usurp his position, and if he doesn't, the two of them could work out an alliance. After all, they have so much in common:
- Gerry saved Marcellas from certain eviction but now Marcellas is tired of feeling grateful and would rather align with Roddy
- Danielle saved Lisa from certain eviction but now Lisa may have no choice but to align with Roddy
- Both show a different face for each person they talk to, and throw in a ton of phony "I feel your pain" empathy. The difference is Danielle seems more sincere when she does it, even though in reality Gerry is probably more sincere, since Danielle will turn around and talk behind the back of the person she was comforting.

oh yeah one more think which Danielle and Gerry have in common:
-- both make their alliance scramble at the last minute. Gerry tells Lisa with minutes to go that he is going to veto her nomination while Danielle tells Jason and Lisa with seconds to go that they have to reverse their votes.
-- I wonder if Lisa will realize that Danielle has now done the same thing to her that made her so mad at Gerry for doing in Week one.

I started out the show really liking Danielle. But after the last few weeks, I want her gone. She is the biggest hypocrite in the house, among other things, and I wouldn't trust her for a minute. I would love to see Roddy stay after tomorrow and then turn into the force that rids the house of Danielle. Good riddance and it can't happen soon enough for me.

I really really like dani. I mean she was my fav. And after 2 hours of her crapola I've had enough of this know it all. I don't care what the hg's say about the poor mouthing but her whole game is stale.

I was a big Danielle supporter until last night's show...imparticular her "I am good" DR entry.

"Pride cometh before a fall" Dani.

I would like to see Roddy stay, join the Marcellus and Amy alliance, get Lisa onto their side and take Lisa to the final 2. All in all...Lisa has played the cleanest game.

"I'll see what I can do." What in the world does THAT mean? Besides, "uh, can't promise you a thing, but thanks for showing me all your cards, you big dummy!"

How can the rest of the houseguests not know when they are not getting a true "commitment" with these semantical word games?

I don't get the LFs, so have formed most of my feelings toward the HGs from those who do. I still don't want Roddy to win. But I *had* been really pulling for Danielle, despite what's been said about her machinations.

But last night's show made me not like her (okay, editing perhaps). Shakes, the "I am good" DR entry got me too. And the constant talk about needing the money is a huge turnoff. She has this air of desperation about her. I think she is extremely smart and clever, but she's just trying too hard.

BTW, for all I've read lately about Mar's bitchiness and nastiness, he came across fine to me during the show. In fact, nobody seemed that bad, but the lustre seems to have left D.

Her constant reminders about needing money were very obvious on the CBS show, more prevalent than I would have thought. I was surprised, and my feeling about Danielle dropped a notch. Not enough to get me to drop off the Jason/Danielle/Lisa bandwagon.

Wood: I'm not off the J/D/L bandwagon either, but that's because I really like Jason and Lisa seems okay. Roddy is just too smarmy and studied for me. He's gotta go, soon.
