For me I'm confident that Danas day will come in no less than 4 weeks. You gotta be patient in these things. It's so weird about her because she totally lost me as a fan when she pulled this very stupid move just to pacify her hurt feelings, but outside the house I would dig having her as a friend. I think she would be die hard loyal to you and that type of a solid friend is sometimes impossible to find. I see Danas good qualities but unfortunately in this game she lost control and focus and there is no way back for her in this game. None of them including her current buddys for the week will let her get near that money.

C1, I guess that is why you and I differ. When I choose people to root for in this game, I choose people who I WOULD like in the real world and I agree that Dana would be the type of friend that you would really want to have. For that reason, I find myself hoping she manages to survive.

I know you think that Dana did the wrong thing with her nominations, but I still think it was the best choice for her, though it probably would have been better for her to go after Dave and Jack, rather than Ali, mainly because Nathan & Ali are reacting emotionally, rather than from a logical point of view, which is going to hurt Dana. I don't think Dave & Jack would have done the same thing.

Here's why I still believe it was a good move...

1. Her O8 alliance had already shown they were willing to sacrifice her OVER a an "ex", namely Michelle. More than likely, she would have been gone over Jee, since they think they can manipulate Jee, which is the same reason they wanted to keep Michelle.

2. She is in the same position now as she would have been if she had put two exes up. Justin is the target for next week, Dana the target for the week after.

3. She has a pretty solid alliance with the 3 stooges, especially now that they know about the O8 alliance. Robert commented to Justin and Jee last night that they owe Dana for saving them.

4. She probably won't get anywhere near the money unless she wins HOH and POV pretty consistently, but that was true no matter which group she stuck with.

5. She now has some control and say with the group she is in. The O8 wouldn't have anything to do with her and planned and plotted without her, which she discovered last week. With her personality, she is better off in a position where she at least has the illusion of control.

Finally, the one thing you can't change in this game is who you are, as much as people try to do so. It's a 24 hour game, under complete pressure. If you try to be someone you're not, you won't survive mentally. Dana is an intense individual who struggles to balance her emotions and her logical thought processes. Her nominations gave her peace on both fronts, because she could see the logic them and could be emotionally comfortable with them. If she hadn't been able to achieve that balance, she probably would have REALLY lost it.

Since this is a debate thread (and I can post my opinion here), I think Dana has megalomania. She has an outsized perception of her value in the house. She thinks everything is about HER (why did he f'up my nominations? I hate her!). Argh!

We really don't care what Dana's reasons are for her behavior. Trying to rationlize this womans actions ain't gonna cut it.

Get her out of there! There is no excuse for her manic, vicious behavior which has nothing to do with the game. She was literally smacking her head against the wall on day three because she wasn't calling the shot. Jealousy and revenge run her thought process and it shows on her face. It will run her out of the house. She needs therapy.

We need to watch the line between debating a person in the game of BB or the way they play the game (which is ok) and making judgments about the person themselves; making it personal (which is not ok).

Please remember that it is just a game, and to not take it too seriously, or make it personal about them.

It's not like this is the real thing--like pro wrestling is or something.

Yes, Ci, Dana's day is short approaching. Ever notice how these super aggressive ladies seem to go down in flames like a bad airplane? Nicole, Dani, and now Dana? And they are always so surprised. It's really humorous.

wondering if Dana is related to Heidi Fleiss or Amy Fisher. She reminds me of both of them.

I really think Dana will be out next week. I could be wrong but both her and Robert remind me of people who have done a lot of speed.

Bluerose you are so right...about the speed. i think she gots a lot of nerve telling ev1 its not personal yeah right she don't even like her stooges talking to anyone in the house her cover is blown and i can't wait for her to go and i can't wait for her to see the tape when JUSTIN SAID SHE AINT GOOD FOR NOTHING EXCEPT TO PLUG! and what he's trying to do??? thats what she gets.....

Ambrighteyes, darn I missed that little statement by Justin. Yep, I'd like to see that too. Did Justin just say that recently?

Dana thinks she knows everything, yet seems to be clueless a lot. After the coup last week the other side (whom she now hates with a passion) said they would have to cover her back whether they liked her or not, just to get the ex'es out. They were playing the game. Dana is playing a personal game and is blowing it. She is making me have sympathy for Ali, lol, so she is not helping herself by acting like such a witch.

I've had it with her voice and her attitude. I could never be friends with her outside the house. She is just too obnoxious. I wonder what BB says to her in the DR? Do you think the people behind the cameras like her?

Thanks, Ambrighteyes. I think they are going to hook up, so she might be very upset when she sees him say that.

You know, watching the former houseguests watch the tapes would be something to pay for. Seeing and hearing their reactions would be very interesting. Do they have a reunion show for BB?

Now Robert got POV and DANA aka <Mod hd> is outta there FOR SURE!

David did a couple of interviews yesterday and he told how Scott came up with the <Mod hd> name for Dana. It was because when she pulled her hair back, her ears stuck out and Scott thought she looked like a little troll. That was the first I'd heard about that.

When I first heard Scott call her that, I thought he meant she was 'trolling' for men, lol.

Dana will be called that name for the rest of her life and as well as what Jack called her on air. She brought these names on herself so she only has herself to blame.

Is it just me or does it seem like Dana has lost quite a bit of weight since entering the house?

Must be due to her paranoia she can't eat. Opposite problem from Jun.

Yes, she has lost weight. She says it's because she got stuck on PB&J for two weeks (she doesn't eat much when that happens). She didn't have a lot of body fat to begin with, so losing five or six pounds would show.

I regret to say I'd be more like Jun - the boredom would have me in unconscious eating mode and that would be BAAAAAD.

Ya, I forgot she's on the PBJ. You're right about her not having much on her to begin with.

I'm like you and like Jun, I would be eating constantly! It would be so boring in there!! No computer,books, music, tv, pen&paper...ARGH! Going nuts just thinking about it! (Notice I said "computer" first? tee hee! )
