My Scott says that Dani WOULD have played a great game IF she hadn't found it necessary to tell people via the diary room what a great game she was playing just in case they missed it.

Never nominated for eviction. C'mon Lisa or Amy, send her packing.

I always thought it was peculiar for Dani to tell everyone that she does not want to be nominated, all she wants is to be there in the end LOL..isn't this what everyone wanted?!? An honest comment, but an illogical argument that no one questioned.

I'm not sure if Dani is as good a player as everyone gives her credit for. Remember, people, a LOT of this is luck. If Roddy had won HOH a few weeks ago, she'd have been toast. And what would've happened if Eric beat Gerry for HOH in Week 4? I know it's a lot of what ifs but luck plays big in this game.

Also, if Dani were a good player, she would've played BOTH parts of the game:

Part 1 -- The game itself
Part 2 -- Playing the evicted HGs and US

If she were truly a great player, there'd be no question about her getting the 500K. She'd have us all convinced that she, for several reasons, deserves the money more than anyone else. All she had to do was (pretend to) play nice in the DR. Great players will do both. She didn't and if it's her downfall, it's her own fault.

Well, I know two things for sure.

1. Some of us think Dani played well and others do not.

2. No one will convince anyone to change their mind.

Well she's played it good enough to make it to at least the final 3. Not too bad :)

I think Dani has played the game well if all she cares about is making $50K.

well Trill it's $40K more than Amy and $50 K more than 9 other HG's!!! so she must be doing something right:):)

Dani played a good game, she just chose to blow the whole 500,000 by her comments in that diary room. Those "7 down 3 to go" comments would absolutely give me a fit if I were on the jury. That right there would cause me to vote for someone else. I could handle the "nothing personal, just business" angle on things, it's the rest of her entries that will lead to her downfall. Her arrogance is beyond belief.

I don't see Dani's DR comments as killing her as much as her comments to other HGs behind some HGs backs. Those seem so much worse to me. The '2 down, X to go comments' come off as arrogant but not the end of the world.

It's the 82nd comment about Gerry's hands or feet, or calling Amy immoral, or being really really kind to Chiara's face and then ripping into her the moment she gets out of the room to another HG. Those are the one that would bother me as a former HG,

If you make it to the end, you've played a good game. There are no rules to this game, no guidelines. Doing nothing is playing well, if it gets you to the end. Lying is playing well, if it gets you to the end. Anything goes in this game.

I think part of the reason Danis DR sessions are so bad is sometimes you just need a place to decompress. She is so busy out there smiling and strategizing, the dr is her place to just be real and say what she can't in the house. I can see myself doing that if I were there.

Fab I totally agree!

I think what has kept Dani strong in this game is that she is working as part of a team. She has someone other than herself to look out for too, so she has had to keep her eyes and ears open. However, at the same time, in the end game only one member of the "team" can win. I honestly think that Dani and Jason will be happy with whomever wins if it comes down to the two of them in the end.

Dani is realizing if she wants any votes she has to start backtracking and suck up to the evicted HGS now. An example is suddenly speaking nicely about Gerry. All I have to say is too little, too late. To use your own words, Dani, "It's Just Business", don't fret if you lose, which is my personal and ultimate dream.

Dani is worse than Roddy and they all believe her...watch out.

I also see the cutting down of the recent bash fest as a result of Marci not being in the house anymore. He and Amy started bashing long before he and Dani did. I think they fed off each other with that behavior and they spured each other on. I think that's part of the bash decline?

Loppes This is NOT the first time she has stood in defense of Gerry and said positive things about that man. She tried very hard to shut Marcellus up when he would go off on him. She has tried to keep it light when there was Gerry bashing but ultimately in went south and harsher. Geez is everyone still ignoring that Lisa has called him a pedifile? That Jason has geered behind his back? That Josh called the man a Nazi? We all know what Marcellus has said, but somehow Dani will be the one to pay for saying anything negative about Gerry and if she says anything nice about him now it's considered phony. Unbelievable! She has tried more than once to silence Amy about Chiara and Tonya. Again... The overplay that she was this negative entity who alone bashed the others amazes me.

Hope your dream doesn't come true with this one. Her negative image on this board has definitely been magnified. She just hasn't been the queen of nasty comments that some are suggesting. She has played the game the best and hope she is rewarded. It's not over til it's over. Hopefully the jury will be much bigger on certain issues. Lord knows they all took part in trash talking.

I don't see how pointing fingers to others who have trash talked excuses anything Dani herself has said. This thead is about Dani, so pointing out what she's done specifically and not in relation to others is not implying that she was alone in bashing....she certainly had her partners in crime, but she did participate A LOT. That will damage her chances of winning.

I really didn't see any of the current HG's saying the things that Dani has said in the DR about "seven down, three to go" and their strategy plans. Dani has made it so obvious in the DR what she's planning on doing. I think it was the first week she was in the DR doing impressions of all the HG's for no apparent reason besides humoring herself and trying to humor us. Maybe this was her down fall. Sure, Lisa, Jason and Amy could well THINK the same things but they aren't sharing it with anyone - especially evicted HG's that would be watching the tapes and coming back to vote for them to win.

who said it excuses her? It's a good point though because if she is not to be excused then the others shouldn't as well. I would think in a Dani thread that giving examples of others who have engaged in similar or harsher examples of bashing would be helpful to the person who has to rely on those of us who are actually wathcing the live feeds.

When you aknowledge that Dani hasn't been the author of the bashing nor the harshest in the house it does make you wonder why her trash talking merrits some type of retribution resulting in losing the game. It's also important when pointing the finger at her to ask how many should be pointed at the others. I guess I didn't realize that this thread was specifically created to just point out Danis alleged bashing behavior. Shoot those type of threads seem to be all over this board.

Let so then if Jason and Amy bite their tongues in the dr then that is beneficial? I don't think it would help Amy in any way. Who's to say that the dr isn't baiting dani to say... 3 down 7 to go or whatever? Is this considered another thing that will be heald against her? Dang I sure hope they all have thicker skins than that! She may say it but I'm sure they all are doing the head count. She just has been singled out. I think it makes for great tv. It means nothing at all other than she is into the game.

No one ever said Dani gets a pass for trashing people..but everybody has trashed everybody..trashing is trashing no matter how much you do it or not..and Dani has been bashed to no end..and is blamed for alot of the things that happened when that isn't the case..it seems like alot of you are holding Dani to a higher standard than others..and that isn't fair..she is a mother..but she is also a player and a ruthless player that wants to win..her determination and fierce will is amazing..she is awesome..and most of her comments should be taken with a grain of salt..it's all jokes and all part of the game..come on guys give Dani a friggin break..none of you let up on anything she says or does..every little thing is turned into critcizing Dani..grrr it makes me so angry!...ok end of my rant..for now

C1mag,
Fact of the matter is there were two people in the whole house who went beyond the limits of trashing other HGS, one was Marcellas on Gerry, and Dani is the other on Roddy.
One down, one to go.
