Kristylovesbb | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:09 pm     I could not find a thread on this topic and I thought it was worth a discussion. Dani was talking to all the hgs the other night and said she doesn't want her family at the cast rap party. She said that she considers that as, her time and her time only and she does not want to share it with them. I was dumbfounded. I could not believe what I was hearing. What do you guys think about it? I wish I could show you to the feed it is on but I can't remember when I heard it but I am sure someone can locate it or knows where it is. |
Oregonfire | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:16 pm     I think Dani was married quite young and has played the role of "responsible wife and mother" since that time. I can see her wanting an experience that is only hers. That said, maybe she will change her mind once she sees her family again, and will want to share the wrap party experience with them. |
Bohawkins | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:17 pm     Is that going to be a "wrap" party or a "rap" party? Maybe, they could get Eminem or Dr. Dre to come if it's a rap party. But, having her family for a wrap party would be nice. |
Loppes | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:20 pm     Well I've always said Dani is a <MOD14> Lon |
Bridgetlovesbb | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:22 pm     mod, could you please cange the "don't" in the thread title to "doesn't" please????? |
Scorpiomoon | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:26 pm     Hmmm. On the one hand, you can't blame her for wanting one last "hoorah" before she goes back to the self-sacrificing life she has, sort of, complained about while being in the house. But at the same time, you'd think she'd want at least her husband there to share the experience with. Here's a thought: If Danielle is in the final two, her husband (and probably her daughters) will be there to meet her as she comes out of the house. I'm assumoing the cast party happens right after the live show ends. What is Danielle going to do? Turn to her husband and tell him to take the kids home because she doesn't want them or him there? I'm sure she'll feel differently about things at the time of the party. |
Costacat | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:29 pm     Actually, are y'all so sure her family would be there to greet her at the end? If they know she doesn't want them there, they can decline to be flown to LA to meet her. I certainly do hope she'll change her mind, though. Cause if she doesn't, she'll have confirmed IN MY MIND that she's really very self-centered. She's been gone for three months; I'd think she'd be dying to see her hubby and kids. |
Buxombabe | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:35 pm     Her kids NO!!! Remember when Julie asked her what she missed most and her repeated answer was only SEX!!! Costacat, i agree she is self-centered. |
Sybilbb3oracle | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:35 pm     If she wins the half mil, i bet she dumps her husband; stays with him if its only 50k. |
Wendo | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:36 pm     I listened to that a lot of that conversation and I got the impression she was saying that she just wanted it to be the 12 HG's only. So they could spend time talking and getting to know each other outside the game. I didn't get the feeling she didn't want to see her family, only that it would be the last time that the 12 of them would likely ever be together again without others being around. Guess my take on it was different. LOL! |
Buxombabe | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:36 pm     LOL, Sybil, how true it is, oh my god how true it is...Well put!!! |
Misslibra | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:39 pm     Wendo that is the same impression I got from the convo. |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:40 pm     Well, we know that she doesn't want all 12 HGs there. A number of them have stated very clearly and forcefully that they do not want Gerry there. |
Car54 | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:41 pm     Is is possible she is concerned about anything the other HG's might say about her in front of her family? |
Bmh | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:43 pm     I agree Wendo and Misslibra..this is gonna sound like I am praising Dani once again..but I honestly think that Dani just wanted to have one last chance to be with all 12 hg's together before they all moved on with their lives..of course she wants to see her family..I got the impression she was just stating that she wanted some time for all the hg's to sit down and have a conversation..thats all.. |
Seamonkey | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:43 pm     I'd think she'd be dying to show off her girls and hubby! But it sounded like the other day the final five decided to go to Disneyland together with Eric thrown in to make it even (and for Lisa).. and I wondered why Dani wouldn't want Javier with her? She was a mom at 15 but didn't get married until 20 and was again a mom at 20 I gather. But.. funny enough her reason given for sleeping in the lizard room instead of HOH is that they are like "family".. how strange.. I think almost anyone who lives with family and shares a bedroom (tho she says she often sleeps on the couch in the livingroom) would be thrilled to have their own room for a week.. she's an odd one. |
Wendo | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:45 pm     Sea, I think that they've been "together" for so long with only each other as company, that they do feel like family. It's weird how BB does that to a lot of the HG's. |
Misslibra | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:46 pm     Car, that is quite possible. |
Csnog | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:50 pm     She also said that she wanted to sit next to the person who hated her the most. Wonder how they will arrange the chairs? |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:52 pm     An auction?? |
Seamonkey | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 04:56 pm     Draw straws.. short straw sits next to her? |
Cjr | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 05:03 pm     meanest to nicest? |
Trillian | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 06:16 pm     Hmm, sitting next to who hated her the most... maybe Dani in the middle, with everyone else seated around her in a circle? (Jason could be in another room) |
Cricket | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 06:22 pm     This is the first year they have talked so much about the 'cast party.' I guess I didn't even know that family were invited. That would probably make it a little awkward. I didn't read the live feed with Dani talking about it, but I'd probably say Wendo understood it correctly. I'm sure her family will be there at the end, but I too think it would be better for the houseguests to just have a party of the 'cast' (players) in a non-competitive mode where they can just relax and have fun and forget what happened in the past. Trying to mix all the family members in with this would seem really hard. Dani loves her husband AND her daughters dearly and will be very anxious to see them. |
Cas | Saturday, September 14, 2002 - 06:33 pm     I was watching when they were talking about this and I´m pretty sure the crew was included to but being Dani´s age with two young kids(mine are younger) I can see her wanting to go the party just with cast and crew(though I´d probably take dh because he would fit in, maybe she knows hers won´t). So I didn´t think that too weird really. What I did think less of were the plans for Disneyland right after with the "final five" plus Eric because of her kids. I´d go to the cast party without my family but I wouldn´t be planning a trip to a kids amusement park knowing my kids haven´t seen me for over two months. Sure she can take them later on if she wins the 500 but I thought that was more of a "hmmmmm" moment than the other. |
