Dani doesn't want to share glory at rap party with family!:

Secretsmile | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 07:38 am     Or maybe she just wants not to have to divide her attention. For example:: When my husband takes me to firefighter gatherings, the men have all these inside jokes and none of us wives have a clue what they are talking about. I've seen some men spend half their time explaining the joke instead of just enjoying themselves. We don't know Javier's personality, perhaps he doesn't mingle well and would not enjoy himself. |
Fruitbat | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 08:31 am     If she made that comment, it was probably just musing about the dynamics. It would be like going to an office party with your spouse only magnified 1000 times. You would be torn in two directions. Making your family feel comfortable *and* enjoying the connections you made in this very intense game. I agree that I would rather attend the cast party with just those connected to the game. Reuniting with your family vs cast party is like chalk and cheese. |
What555456 | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 08:33 am     Keep in mind too, she is one of the only ones who has kids who would likely attend. Ever take kids to an adults affair? It can really squelch your enjoyment.

Ginger1218 | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 08:45 am     Who the heck cares why she said that? It is really so very unimportant. All I have to say is WHATEVER!!! |
Guiltyviewer | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 08:58 am     All I care about is when are the invitations going out for OUR wrap party? |
Kits | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 09:08 am     When we have parties at work I never want family members there. I feel too, not limited, but uncomfortable. I think our work personas are different from our home personalities. I also do not like it when other staff members families are present. Everyone acts more restricted and uptight. |
Earthmother | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 09:37 am     I think she said that to cover herself. IMO she doesn't want them there in case someone says something rude about her in front of them. I think she's smart enough to know that some of the evicted have not played this as a game, and don't have the control of themselves not to say something that would hurt her kids. I can't say as I would blame her if that's the case, but I can't say I would blame the one who said unkind things to her either after some of the things she has said about them without regard to their families. |
Cassie | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 09:59 am     She doesn't want her family attending the wrap party? Oh, imagine that--and them being SO thoughful too, by sending in the drawing of her porch-wrapped dream house, complete with little colored-in figures of her daughters (for her HOH basket.) How contrived and obvious was that? Blech!@! Are the HG's supposed to feel like forfeiting now or something, so Dani and family can have a house? Newsflash for her and her family: You want a house? Do like 98% of us do--give up the unnecessaries (like false boobs, huge tv's, movie-star quality teeth, private schools, etc.) and save to get one under your own steam. In other words, baby, PRIORITIZE! |
Wcv63 | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 10:12 am     Cassie, I'm guessing you aren't a Dani fan? |
Cassie | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 10:15 am     Can't stand her, Wcv63. What gave you the clue, lol? |
Earthmother | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 10:26 am     Cassie that's what America is all about!! There is more than one way to get the American Dream and I say her choice to do it this way is just that "her choice." I find nothing wrong with skipping steps to get ahead as long as you are willing to suffer the consequences if it doesn't work out. I don't care for the woman either, but can't fault her for coming on a show to get something for her family any more than those who came on to further their careers in show business. She is trying to skip the same steps as the others who are using this as an audition. I'm confused what this has to do with the "wrap party" or is it just not enough hate threads this week. |
Betty | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 10:27 am     I didn't see her say this nor do I know who all is invited to the wrap party, but I'm still going to throw in my two cents. Just taking Dani's words at face value and combining them with her excluding her family on the Disney trip (like that's gonna happen), not telling her girls or husband she loved them when she had the chance, wanting sex first thing, and various other slights on her family doesn't add up to Mrs. Brady. A more family oriented reply would have been she has missed her family so much after all these months and is so proud of them that she wants her new friends to meet them. It's also appropirated to let the girls stay at the party for 1-2 hours but have her husband take them back to their hotel with the excuse that some may be getting drunk. I'm sure her family would understand that she would have *obligations* (for lack of better excuse) to stay longer. I get the feeling she schedules and enjoys her adult outing events - Dani's needs come first, family last. |
Wendo | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 10:31 am     Fab, I can only speak for myself, but in the Roddy parent thread my comments were nothing but of the up most respect for them and that they obviously loved their son. And, I think if you were to go back and read it in the archives it doesn't even come close to the bashing Dani's family has received on this board. Good golly, look at some of today's posts already. Talking about Dani's "boobs, teeth, and private schools" for her kids. I'm sorry, the threads on Roddy don't compare. Actually, the only threads that I think would compare were some of the really negative ones about Gerry and his hygiene issues. As to the "devil" comments by Dani, it was never a literal term, though some disagree. I never saw it as more than a joke. Regarding the emotional abuser comments, I never called Roddy an "emotional abuser". I said his tactics in the game were similar to emotional abuse because his actions and the emotional responses of the HG's (ie: Amy being brought to tears because of said actions) had negative consequences and outcomes. One of his tactics in the game was to exploit the emotional weaknesses of his competitors, he said so. However, I was always clear that the comments were specific to his game play. So, I too disagree with you. Finally again, like C1mag, I don't think think the comments and critiques about Roddy went anywhere near the attacks that Dani now receives on the board. As C1mag pointed out, even her want and use of a perm has been negatively addressed. Like I said above, whatever, people have their own perceptions, set of standards, and favorites in the house. Par for the course. |
Wendo | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 10:33 am     Earthmother said, "I'm confused what this has to do with the "wrap party" or is it just not enough hate threads this week." Bingo. |
Wendo | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 10:41 am     Betty, actually, before I went to bed last night, I was watching the live feeds when Li, Dani, and Amy were in the bathroom talking. Right before I turned on the feeds Dani was telling both Lisa and Amy how much she loved her children, husband, and family and that she was very anxious to see them soon. She missed the "smell" of her kids and her families embrace. Contradicts your comments entirely. |
Cassie | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 10:46 am     Earthmother said, "I'm confused what this has to do with the "wrap party" or is it just not enough hate threads this week." Simple answer. She has used her family as an excuse for being on the show. If she is SO family oriented and proud of them, why exclude them at the end? IMO she uses her family (and wanting a house for them) as a sentimental means to gain sympathy and support and play on the HG's and TV viewers' emotions. And that offends me. |
Silksmoke | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 10:58 am     I see the wrap party as an extension of the game. I understand why Dani would want to spend that time with the other hg's sans family. To make a leap to the conclusion that, because she wants to keep her family separate from the game, she doesn't really care about them doesn't make sense to me IMO. I would probably feel the same way, and our family is very close. ps: I still see nothing wrong with her stating that she would like to buy a house should she win the game. Real estate is an enduring investment, it certainly lasts longer than the post BB fame some are seeking.  |
Kristylovesbb | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 11:10 am     Dani and the other hgs were discussing wrap party and how they could not wait to go. Dani said she did not want her family to attend. She said "this is my time, for me, and I do not want them there. People can make of this what they will, but that is what she said. |
Ginger | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 11:16 am     Just like some of you are stumped about why Dani wouldn't want to bring her family to the wrap party, I am stumped that you don't understand why she wouldn't want to. It has nothing to do with how much she loves them. In fact, the opposite. Assuming that the wrap party is immediately after the last show, as it was last year, and assuming that Dani goes all the way to the end, the wrap party would coincide with her reunion with her family AND the first opportunity to discuss and digest the game with the other houseguests. Why would she want to mix the two? I say, go to the party, talk like crazy with your fellow houseguests and then wake up fresh the next day for a wonderful reunion with the family. I think it's important to include your partner and family in your life. But I also think we over do that in our culture. Just because we are joined closely with others, it doesn't mean we have to have them at our side through everything. When I went with my husband to his high school reunion, I could tell he was happy to introduce me to his old pals, but I also sensed that he was worried I was bored. I had a nice enough time, but at a certain point I wanted to go home, and I knew my sweetie wanted to stay...so that's what we did. He returned home very late into the night having had the time of his life after talking for hours with his old high school days. I was nothing but happy for him to have this experience, and I am sure he had more fun after I left, not because he doesn't love me, but because he didn't have to feel that he needed to entertain me. I can't imagine Dani's husband wouldn't understand this dynamic as well. |
Synamom | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 12:26 pm     Some of you people are reading too much into what Danielle has said or your interpretation of what she said.I think that the way she has played the game has confused you with who you may think she is as a person. Imagine the drama if some of you were in the big brother house would your nasty comments make people think that you were the person that you speculate that Dani is ?? This is America and she has the right to play this game to her advantage. Thats what this whole show is about. It's not about being the nice guy. It's about doing what you have too, to win the money. Oh yeah you guys have the right to voice your opinions too. But it seems that some of you live in a perfect world and you have never had to do what you thought was best to win at a competition. |
Fabnsab | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 12:28 pm     Wendo and C1, (sighing)we must agree to disagree on this one I know you two were very respectful but I truly don't believe others were. Try this one on for size---what do you think our threads would be like if Tonya were still in the house? Talk about bashing. You have raised some points that I agree with however. Dani is no angel but she doesn't deserve being insulted because she gets a picture of her dream house from home like she planned it that way. The one thing that bothers me the most about Dani bashers is the whole "when is she going to screw Jason over" thing. She has never indicated for one moment she will yet there are so many who speculate when this will happen. They think she is going to make a deal with Lisa today. It's not going to happen, folks. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Thats what makes this board so great but to judge her mothering skills on things she says in an environment none of us could understand, is a tad harsh. |
Sheila494 | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 12:36 pm     synamom..how do you really know that we are reading to much into what dani said?..and to all you dani supporters why get all bent out of shape when others make negative comments about dani..big deal we feel the way we do about her it shouldnt change the way you feel..you really dont have to comment on every negative post..just state your opinion and move on. |
Richardfan | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 12:59 pm     Dani said she missed sex the most, then she continuously pointed out she is a married woman. Since married women can have sex, maybe she wants to have sex with a married man...Gerry! Food for thought? There might be some family members who might want to take a swing at one of the HGs for actions inside the house. Ya never know. Roddy/Dani treatment on this here board: I don't think Roddy's bald spot had anything to do with his game playing. I do agree, however, it would be easier for Dani to attend the cast party without her family. Isn't the party in Vegas? That would indicate it is not immediately after the show. So she'll probably spend a day or two with her family before the party. |
Fabnsab | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 01:14 pm     Sheila, aren't you doing the same as the others, commenting on one particular thing one particular poster wrote? We are here to discuss, not only the game, but what others write about the game. I think it is merely healthy debate. |
Wendo | Sunday, September 15, 2002 - 01:24 pm     Shelia, no one has any problems with negative criticism of Dani. The problems I have, and I've expressed them, is the constant bringing in of her family, friends, and the like. People have even brought her children into the bashing. Personally, I don't think it's appropriate. Finally, why are you the arbitrator on who gets to post and respond to comments here? State my opinion and move on? No offense, but I find this quite rude. The majority of posters here have been respectful in their debate. To say we shouldn't post because YOU don't like it is, well, as I said, rude. Richardfan, just this morning Dani was on the porch and she said to herself, I miss my husband, I love him and can't wait to see him. The sex stuff is just a joke. Where is everyone's sense of humor??? |
