Theo, we don't know if someone's aquaintence, friend or family is on these boards unless they tell us. I may know someone or know someone who works with them. I'm not saying I do but I'm not saying I don't. If I do, I'm not going to discuss it here, but I could say, "based on first hand information, this is the way she is in real life" or "IMO, she is behaving like she would in her real life."

Man this thread is getting mean. Look, like her or not, I think she has the right to make personal choices that bring her happiness. If for whatever reason she felt a need for boobs, at least she went out and bought a reasonable pair unlike another former housemate. We don't know this woman. We don't know her issues. Maybe some of her bossiness covers some insecurities. Maybe she acts so old at such a young age cause she feels it having acted like a reasonsible adult before her time.

From what she has said she has worked very hard in addition to raising a family for MANY years. If for reasons we do not understand that small splurge to buy boobs filled some need in her then tell me what is wrong in that? And who are we to judge.

When my Mom died a few years ago, and I felt I had no control over ANYTHING in my life due to that and a few other horrid life problems, I did something to make myself feel better. I bought a nice fire engine red Mustang convertable. You know something? I love it, have never regretted it, and it DID make me feel better in at least one part of my life. (And still does :) ) Dani's boobs were cheaper than that. My point we all do things sometimes for us.

Lastly, she has spoken honestly of her problems with her hubby but said she has seen him in a new light. Also made some really nice comments about his letter etc. I think this time apart might be one of the best things that ever happened to them. Because she isn't talking about it, (and I haven't heard her talk too much about the real personal stuff), why are we condemning her?

I was just REALLY turned off by how mean this thread was becoming. I'm all for different viewpoints and all...but this was just plain mean in my eyes. Ok I feel better now.

Well there you go, so steroetypical. My husband has never written a check to pay one bill in our twenty years of marriage. I pick out the cars, fix the computer ( which he doesn't touch) and do the house too. He works physically hard at his job so all this is fine with him. I own my own business and make more money than he does. I don't even know why I'm writing this down, but you are just being way too judgmental IMO.

Bossy women = bad?? Is that the case?
Geez you think this was 1950, not 2002.

I like Danielle. I think everything she does in the house is magnified two-fold in a lot of posters eyes. I fear it is the old double standard rearing it's ugly head.

Danielle could walk on water and some of you would say, " Look at that witch, she doesn't even know how to swim"

Lurknomore, that's why many have just stepped out. I come here far less than before. It is not necessary to make comments about people's personal life when you have no facts to back them up, and even then as I said before, I wouldn't discuss them here. We should only be concerned with how they are playing the game.

Bhan---I like Danielle EXCEPT for her trashing of the other HG and encouraging others to do it too.

That behavior makes her so unattractive, nasty, that even if she was walking on water she would find some way of letting us know that one of the other HGs must have peed in the water

Well, he will be certainly nominated (referring to the thread title).
He can't compete in the HOH challenge and there is only Amy who could not nominate him but if the POV is used (and it will be used this time) Marcellas will be replacing the one saved and he will go for sure on Thursday.

Now I think there is a thread on the next HOH and I have some thoughts on that as well.

Sorry folks - didn't think I was being mean . Being slapped down at least has the benefit of rethinking your views on life. Maybe I come from a different generation but my perception - which is based as well on personal experience is that in the majority of households - especially with children - it is that the "wife" ,and I'll probably be criticized for using that archaic term, who is usually the one who takes the initiative ( I was going to say steps up to the plate - but felt that too might sound sterotypical). My only point was - you can step up , you can take charge - all well and good - but in Dani's case - it's one thing to "rule the roost" - another put down - but it's another thing to cull the chickens.

When will Jason Lisa and Marcy wake up and realise that Dani is their biggest threat .. not Roddy

To a degree you are right Wiseolowl. Women have for generations been the main care-givers of the children and the spouse. It has traditionally been their job to be in charge of the house. Even in todays society it is more common for the woman to stay home from work if the child is sick than the man. It is also traditonally the woman who cooks, cleans, shops, takes care of dr. appointments, and is the keeper of the home.

I'm not saying that men have not taken on a more active role in this dept., but for the most part I think there is a higher percentage of women in this role even in this new century.

They'll wake up when they are kicked out of the house and review the tapes. She's got them pretty snowed. I personally can't wait until they all come back and vote. Remember how hard last year's people were on Nicole? Danielle deserves every bit of that plus more for her actions.

Wiseolowl, I'm not sure what you have to be sorry about? You have an opinion and have every right to voice it.

I think many people who are not wives and mothers, or who haven't had to rule the roost so to speak don't understand the dynamics of role of women over the centuries. Women are nesters therefore they become extremly protective of their home..yes many times that means they are bossy. I know I am bossy, because my house is my domain, if I am going to be responsible for it by God everyone in it is going to follow the rules...lol

Danielle may have given the order for Marcellus to be the next one to go, but BB still has twist number 3 waiting in the wings. This could well turn the tide, and no matter what D and company have planned, the Big Brother may have other plans in store for them.

for some reason half my post got deleted..maybe the mods think I'm too long winded today..lol

I just don't agree that we should be critiqueing anyone's marriage or choices they made in their personal life in the context of the game. Her surgery or lack of has no bearing on how she is playing. She is not my favorite as a person only because of the comments she has made about others (which also have nothing to do with the game), but her ability to manipulate and control is working for her so she is playing her game well..(so far).

I would agree up to a point however, when a HG makes a moral judgement on another HGs surgery when they have had the same procedure done, then it is fair game.

danni has never been a threat to jason. She saved him from 2 nominations. lisa is probably number 3 on her list and lisa and her have discussed there will come a time they have to play for themselves. I honestly think danni would be happy to be in the final 2 with lisa or jason. She seems to really like them both. I think she is really only a threat to marcy and amy.

Maris i believe cosmetic surgery is no big deal. The only thing i didnt understand is tonya constantly referring to her "chi chis" It was like they were the 13th house guest.

She does like them theo but "this is business" and in think that Danni would like to be there at the end with Amy. She has heard too much about how Marcellas is liked on the outside and she is probably wondering just how she will be perceived by the evicted HGs. She knows they resent Amy so if she wants the 500G and make no mistake that is what she wants, she will save Amy to the end.

Dani may make the suggestions but I don't see Jason and Lisa having ANY hesitation in following.

Whom would you suggest that they nom next, people? Since the team is Jason Lisa and Dani, that only leaves Amy and Marc..it is just a question of which one goes first.

You cannot fault her for her game playing ability. It has been masterful. I hope she wins. But I do dislike intensely how she puts people down behind their backs.

I notice that she never seems to do it about Jason and Lisa. I wonder if she does it to rationalize to herself why she has to turn on them and get them out?

Watch how sneaky Dani is if she gets her way. She will vote Amy out and force the HOH to decide via a tiebreaker and they will be ordered to oust Marcellas.

She has been thinking over the last few weeks how to play her 3 best friends while not turning on them.

First she wont win HOH.

When down to 4 she will want to be up for nomination so she doesn't have to vote a friend out.

When down to the last 3 she wont win HOH and leave it for someone to bring her to the final.

maris thats too funny. for days you have been telling everyone amy should just quit while I have said thats crazy and now you are saying amy will be there at the end. Then it makes absolutely no sense to quit. You really seem to be a closet roddy fan. Why are you so against admitting that? I asked you before but you never answered. How old are you?

Once again have to hand it to the girl...she amazes..me I dont think anyone could pull off what she has done this entire season..I would love to see Danielle,rich,Tina,and Vecepia in a room and see who survives

As long as Dani keeps her commitment to the final 3 (ie takes no steps to elim Lisa or Jason till the final 3, then goes to the final 2 with Jason), then she will have never broken a promise or lied about her true intentions.

SHe has played the game extremely well, which is what they are there for. IF Marc fell for it without actually getting a commitment from her, then more fool Marc. She even said to him we have done it with no promises or words, and he did not pick up on it.I don't personally like it but how else can she get ahead in the game.

I think her game playing haas been flawless. I also think she was wise to have a strategy of NEVER winning HOH and getting others to do the nomming.

However, I agree with Jan. I hate how she belittles people behind their backs. Jan may be right..maybe she is rationalizing...but it still isn't nice. IS it necessary? I don't know. Maybe $500K makes her think so.
