Twiggyish | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 02:05 pm     This thread is for ONLY nice things.. If you want to say anything else there are lots of other places. Mods could we leave it here until after tonight's show? I think Dana would be a terrific advocate for a worthy cause. If she could channel her energy into something positive..she would be an unstoppable force. I think she has a lot of fight in her, too. She doesn't stay down long..but gets back up swinging. I don't know many people who could withstand the pressure she's in right now. (With all eyes watching) |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 02:07 pm     Isn't that what this is? There is no bashing in the HG Discussion threads. Or is there some other topic you want? Nice thing to say? I think on the outside she would be a very loyal and giving friend. |
Kellirippa | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 02:08 pm     Dana is one of my fav's, I really wish she could have stayed around longer, I love a chick with self-proclaimed balls! I hope Allison goes next week and has to spend a little one on one time with Dana in sequestration. |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 02:09 pm     I know about the fan threads, but I think we need something positive about her on this side. (Even for just a little while) |
Cinder | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 02:09 pm     I am glad that there was someone on the show who knew about the show (at least during seasons 2 and 3) and tried really hard to be on the show. there may be one or two other hgs this year who also truly wathched the show previously I liked that Dana thought she was doing the best thing for herself and the show. |
Maris | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 02:09 pm     I admire her for having the chutzpah to nominate real players versus spectators of the game. She is risk taker and doesnt back down. Not qualities that are good for Big Brother but certainly for live feed watchers like me. It will be a boring place with her gone. |
Xarph | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 02:27 pm     I admire Dana's ability to motivate Jack into saying very witty things. |
Bastable | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 02:28 pm     I like this thread. I have nice things to say about Dana even though I don't consider myself a "fan." In the game sense, Dana was the most interesting HG this season. She stirred things up, she was totally earnest about everything she said and did, and she bonded with other HGs. Just about everything that has happened in the game up to now has hinged on her decisions or her participation. She was great. |
Crazydog | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 02:31 pm     She was entertaining because she seems to just say whatever is on her mind. |
Texasdeb | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 02:34 pm     I'll miss Dana. The house has already gotten boring this wk with the almost certainty of what's going to happen next. At least w/Dana around there were more reason to interupt my work & ck the feeds to see what's going on. No need to do that now. |
Crossfire | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 02:50 pm     Dana's ok in my books. I don't have the feeds, so I was spared her worse, but she generated tons of messages here, and I like anyone who can do that. |
Marymary | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 02:54 pm     I guess nobody's ALL bad! (That's the best I can do!) |
Charvie | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 02:55 pm     I think Dana is a passionate and vibrant person. I think that she has all the great qualities of a loyal friend, devoted to her family and a desire to be fair to herself and others. I believe Dana will go far in life and has characteristics that are admirable. |
Omegabubbles | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 02:55 pm     I also admire Dana for motivating Jack to say very witty things. |

Bluerose | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:19 pm     I admire Dana for ultimetly making the BB house calmer in the near future |
Lakegal | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:27 pm     I am glad she went out and nommed who she really wanted to nom even if the majority didn't agree with her. She didn't stick with an alliance she didn't believe in just to save herself. I always thought it was unfair how the show set up the exes to come in later and be out-numbered. Dana changed that. And I was always upset that Jack and Nathan seemed to be 2 of the most forceful in wanting the exes out when they didn't even have exes in the house. Dana evened out the game and I like her for that. |
Beruthiel | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:28 pm     She made things lively in the house, for a week or so, and thus gave us something to get passionate about, so we have to give her kudos for that! I also have to admire someone who has strong feelings and the courage to express them, even if that could be construed as a weakness in the context of the game. I gather from Robert that she's of Cuban background, which might explain her Latin temperament, but she also reminds me of the volatile Irish I'm used to in my family, so I get where she's coming from. It was interesting getting to know her a little, and I do wish her all the best when this BB is all over. |
Tmleafs4life | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:34 pm     I actually admire Dana for being the only person in the house to not hide their true feelings. I, for one, cannot stand "fake" people - a.k.a. people who pretend that everything is fine and dandy and just love everyone. Her approach may not have been the best, but she's the only one who actually did it. I'm a person who would just avoid the person I couldn't stand or just not go out of my way to talk to the person... I'd be cordial at best. |

Jhezzie | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:50 pm     I like Dana too. She's a handfull and a pain in ass, but like I said before, this game magnifies your flaws. The house needs a player like Dana, though. I'll bet she's a die-hard friend. |
Amari | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:50 pm     I guess I just don't understand the blatant hatred towards Dana. She's just a human being with faults like we all have. We don't know her. We saw her in an artificial setting with a lot of artificial people. She didn't play the game well - she wears her heart on her sleeve. She played the game the way she thought was best for her - apparently it wasn't. I just don't understand why someone would literally despise a "character" on a tv show so much they would come into a thread specifically requested for nice comments about Dana just to make snarky remarks about her. Anyway, I think Dana was the most "real" of all the houseguests (warts and all). |
Mystery | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:55 pm     What's wrong? 5 minutes have gone by without this thread being bumped back up! |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:57 pm     amazing isn't it..LOL |
Pantageas | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 03:58 pm     I give Dana credit for having the chutzpah to make a bold attempt to improve her game standing - even though the balls bounced the other way, leaving her high and dry the following week. If Jun or the J3 win the last HOH, everyone would be marveling on how Dana's shrewd move landed her in the Final 5. If Dana had nominated 2 of the J3, Nathan,Allison, Jack, Dave, Erika, and Jun would have made sure she had left before them... |
