Dani is crying because she is stressed out from coniving, plotting, lying. I think its all getting to her that way. She knows there are others who easily deserve to win. She's lost her control. I feel she is just feeling sorry for herself.

Only thing that bothered me about Rod talking to her was that he mentioned how horrible it was when Eric left, probably the hardest one to have go, and how even tho people didn't like Josh it was horrible when he left...no mention of when Amy was gone, when Lori left, or when Tonya left. Could it be that those 2 he mentioned were his puppets and that's why it was so hard?

Could she be crying because she "needs" the America's Choice win?

Loppes I totally agree with that. She's worn down from all that running around and backstabbing she's been doing. It would get to me too. She keeps saying she hates this game, well no one forced her to play it the way she's been doing.

I would like to see Roddy gone, mainly because I like Dani. But, I am not going to fault him for coming in to try to help her right now. I do not buy into the idea he is a total a** and never have. Yea, he is as manipulative as all the others and yes he uses his charm to get people to do what he wants. But I do not see him as an evil man. Just a strong player. People get manipulated because they allow it. He has not gotten any one to do anything they have not wanted to do.

I think the concern and compassion he is showing for Dani right now is probably very sincere. No, it is not lost on him how it will look to the others, but he does have a storng paternalistic streak and I think he sincerely wants to help her through this.

Emotions matter in this game. Yes, you have to think strategically in order to be an effective player (I stress this fact heavily myself), but emotions play a huge role. Denying their impact is just plain dangerous.

Right now, Danielle's feeling stressed out...for all sorts of reasons. So is Amy, Roddy, Marcellas, Jason, Roddy, and Lisa...albeit in different ways. Some show their feelings more than others, but just remember (especially when Amy gets angry about Danielle's flip-flops) that emotions should not and can NOT be ignored. They are a factor. Roddy uses that to his advantage. The rest of 'em...not so much.

Anyway, it's interesting to see the self-professed "tough girl" break down a bit. It's not a joyful occasion...just interesting.

I think Danielle is seriously upset, needing a good cry. She wanted to keep Chiara over Roddy and couldn't. One major reason she wanted HOH was so she could get a letter from home. The week was extremely stressful. I think she sincerely needs a boost, instead of one disappointment after another. I hope she wins the video from home this week. I really do. I don't agree with everything she's done, but she's a good person and isn't used to being so far from her family.

JMO - Isn't it ironic the person she wanted out is consoling her because of the person who went out?

I think Dani's well aware that "America's choosers" are watching her.. the camera was zooming in and out on her and the picture of the kids, so she knew.

Roddy to the rescue.. and then Lisa to see what Roddy was saying to Dani :)

And of course Lisa felt bad.. she told Chiara she'd be a vote FOR Chiara to stay, then Dani conned Lisa into changing her vote so that Dani wouldn't be lying to Chiara but still "delvered" Lisa's vote to Amy.. very clever.. Lisa got "hosed". And I thik she knows it too.

Seemed like it hit them all pretty hard when they walked back into the house tonight after lockdown and discovered the huge table removed and the smaller version with just enough room for the 7 of them....I think it really hit home what this is all about.

Seamonkey Lisa wasn't conned. Dani talked to her and Lisa knew how Dani was voting, she knew how Jason had voted and Dani told her to vote her heart. No conning.

Well the last few better be prepared for ghost town when there is only four left for over 2 weeks. How long will the last two be in together for?

I don't buy it. She was hosed. IMO :)
"Vote your heart" is used in some pretty twisted ways in that house.

LOL. Sea, Vote your heart and I've got your back are some dangerous words in that house. You never know WHAT they mean.

Look, these are real people in a very stressful emotional "game". Although it is a game, real emotions are involved. They have been together for what, 42 days? Of course real emotions are involved for these people, they are totally cut off from their real lives. Dani is crying because she misses Kiki and feels badly that she is gone. She will soon pull it together and put her game face back on. Don't begrudge Dani or anyone a moment of genuine emotion! No matter what we all think sometimes these are real people, not devils or psychopaths. It's tough for them, especially when someone like Chiara goes. Although Kiki could be very annoying she was very likable and entertaining. She wasn't evil, just immature. They all genuinely liked her, and thats why everyone (except Amy of course) is sad to see her go..

Poor Dani, she looks so sad. Since she misses her family so much, maybe Jason will be kind and send her home this week. I wish he would kick that two faced witch to the curb!!!!

Okay, I can see how the stress is getting to her. But she is right, she was the only vote for Chiara and had to let Roddy free once again to honor too many promises and to "throw him off". Boy, how useless that move was, I'm sure she realizes now just how useless that was.
She didn't need to "throw him off", he knew already she had Lisa and Jason in her alliance. She felt sabotaged by Marcellas and of course she panicked.
But now the process of scheming is starting again and I'm sure she just can't take it anymore. Especially when she sees that her rival is taking her boy away from her. How will she take this kind of defeat? She just knows it that she won't be able to stand it.
She feels depressed to see Roddy still in there and the second chance she had to give up for the dangerous deals she makes.

It's tough..

I'll agree with those who say her tears are genuine. She's gotta be stressed being in that house, disappointed Roddy is still there, sad for Chiara, and relieved Jason got HoH this week. That combo is potent, imo. I hope she feels better after letting it all out.

I said it from the start that this year's Nicole was Danielle and her subject was Jason. It was the Nicole-Hardy relationship.

The difference between the two was, Danielle wasn't a real witch like Nicole. Danielle wasn't exactly as ugly as Nicole and didn't wear make-up that made her look like a masquerade. Her teeth grinding comes close to it though. Nicole used her cooking skills to charm the house. This year, Danielle cooks often, but it isn't as powerful as was Nicole's. Danielle doesn't really seem to be using her cooking skill to her advantage. The other contrast was, Danielle wasn't having to be put on anti-depressant 24/7. Then Jason wasn't all muscular like Hardy, but he was a cutie and good-looking. Lastly, Jason didn't have the will to to win the HOH competitions, as Hardy did. Because Hardy won most of the HOH competitions, Nicole was protected for the most part. And then Nicole won the one time critical competition that protected her behind. Contrast that with Danielle not seeming to win anything and Jason not willing to win anything. Finally he won one HOH competition at least.

Let's see whether Danielle's behind will be protected as Nicole's own was. LOL! :D Between Danielle and Nicole, I think that I will painfully take Danielle nonetheless. It's painful, but, having to choose between the two, Nicole takes the crown for most evil woman.

I don't buy Roddy comforting Dani at all.
He could care less how she or any of the others feel.
He is just trying to look like a nice person to save his ass.
And I hope most of them realize that.
Dani will when she feels better.
I think Jason getting HOH means that Roddy is really gone this time.
Dani, Lisa, and probably Marci will vote him out.
Gerry might even vote him out.
But Jason will vote him out if it comes to a tie.
