It is a game, but I dont believe that someone can take on a totally different persona than the one they went into the house with. I believe what we saw in that house is who Danni is, perhaps a bit more obvious than she might be in the everyday world. But there is no way I would want to work with her. I just dont care for people who will stomp all over people including inventing vicious things about them so they can get ahead. Lying is part of the game but not making up vicious stories and setting people up for failure based on your lies.

Maris,
My point is this (and this is not a bash on you) why do you think that Danielle or any other houseguest should care about the opinion of someone they have never met? Family and friends, the people who you love and who love you back- those are the people to care about. And I believe that Danielle's family is sitting at home very proud of her and rooting her on. You can't live your life worried about what people are going to think about you. It's a horrible way to live.

Thank you Lovelynessa.......I agree 100 %. I just wish Dani had not bashed so much. I can set aside the handwashing incident, but 95% of the rest was uncalled for. Otherwise she is gooood.

I can't imagine Dani being happy with $50,000 - not with as money grubbing as she is. Furthermore, after taxes, that will not be enough money (not nearly enough) for a down payment on a decent house in the Bay Area.

Annitar, you can roll your eyes all you want, but this is not a Dani bashing thread. I don't like Danielle but I wanted to discuss whether people thought $50,000 was adequate compensation for what I view as the tarnishing of Danielle's reputation. Some people here think it is, some people feel she has not been tarnished, some people feel it is not. It has been a mostly civil discussion and I appreciate hearing all the viewpoints. The Opinion of Danielle thread seemed more like a bash/defend thread, which is not what I wanted it to be.

I agree with Guinevere that I don't think Danielle will be happy with the $50,000. Sure it's $50,000 more that she didn't have, but based on last night's show she obviously feels like she deserves the $500,000.

It's interesting actually. Dani just said on the feeds that she sent a video tape to her co-workers after she went to BB telling them that she was going to lie, back stab, deceive, and the like on the show. That she was probably going to do some "scandelous" things and behavior that they've never seen before. I wonder if, in fact, she has, in some ways, adopted an extreme persona? Hmm.

Guinevere, she has said that she wants to move to Ohio with her parents to be close to the family she has there. 50 g's after taxes would be plenty for a down payment on a house in Ohio. (I know, my family is from there, and many still live there.)

Thanks for the info, Wendo. Ohio can have her.

Go Dani!

Now that that's out of the way, I have to agree with Wendo, Lovely, and a few others I can't recall... I don't think Dani cares one bit what a bunch of people on the internet think about her or her reputation. Remember, when this thing is all over, we'll never hear about her again, nor will we really think about her. (well, next year, we'll all love her because she won the whole thing, and we'll think she's brilliant) But I think she's doing exactly what she needs to do to get SOME money.

I really think her strategy has been brilliant. Thank god some of the people on this board aren't in this house. We'd have fake, "nice" people doing no strategizing at all, because it's all about honor. How boring.

Showmemoney, go read the "Josh and Chi on The Morning Show" thread and see what Josh had to say about the other game players. Very interesting.

Guinevere, I'm sure her family in Ohio would LOVE to have her. (Sheesh, tough group.)

Will do.

Wendo, I think you and I are fighting a losing battle here sometimes. :)

Oh, well, it's all in fun. I sure love this board.
