Okay, Does anybody else think that Daniele is acting like a 14 year old. She even sits and cries, holding her arms up and covering her face, like a teenager not getting her way. The talks that her and Dick have been having, about their relationship, have been very heavy. In my opinion Dick has been the best parent NOW that he can be. He is telling her his true feelings and she wont even look at him. She says she is a grown woman, but can't even look him in the eyes when he talks to her. I think Dick has said and done things that were not exactly right in their relationship, but he is not alone in that boat. A lot of parents make mistakes. But also a lot of parents will not try to take the first steps in trying to get help in counseling. Daniele keeps saying that Dick is more like her friend, not a parent, and then in the next sentence she is saying that he is supposed to be the parent. Does she want a parent or not? Even when she is with Nick, she reminds me of a 13 or 14 year old teenage girl, who is giddy with a new boyfriend, that wants her own way, and is always mad at their parents, no matter what they do. I mean, I had daughters, and I still remember not liking my parents at times. She needs to GROW UP.

What do you guys think?

I agree with you, Blondie. But, I don't know that much about her past. She is only 20 yrs old, I think. Hmmm. Guess it was kind of mean of BB to bring in a father and daughter without either knowing about it until they got there. Yes, she does need to grow up, though.

She doesn't know how to communicate for sure. It's not just with her dad,she was doing it with nick the othert night too...

I agree to a point, she does need to act with a little more maturity, though we must remember that 20 really isn't that old. I mean how mature were you at 20? I know I wasn't. But she also needs to express herself better and act less of the "teenager having a tantrum because my dad's ruining my life". I can't judge her anger or her problems with her dad because we really don't know what's going on between those 2 and we don't live there lives. I do think it's a bit unfair of BB to stick a father daughter duo who obviously have a lot of issues into the house together. With that being said I do love the drama though!

I have wondered the same thing. Her dad is trying so hard to talk to her and she doesn't say thanks, or give out a hug ... she doesn't even look at him .... she just walks away. I wonder whether she would be like that to him out of the house. Maybe she is just concerned with people thinking she's too close to her dad and that they are in an alliance ... WELL DUH ... fighting or not they all know you're family and you're unlikely to vote against each other.

I think its easy for any of us to say "shes being a baby" but honestly she is only 20. Shes said that there is just more then what the tv/live feeds show. Shes bottled so much up inside of her. But I agree shes done it to Nick to. Maybe thats just the person she is, I think in the attention department she is just as bad as Jen. IMO!

My thing is, it was not cool for BB to bring this to the table, knowing they haven't tried to work things out in 5 years. I think that Dick is a jerk and I think he says what America wants to hear so its just another reason they will like him. Some want to hear his outbursts and some want to hear the "sweet" im so innocent Dick. Again just my opinion.

Dick may not have been the best parent by our standards but I'm sure he did the best he could or did at least did what he thought was best. who of us parents haven had our kids mad at us or thought after the fact "oh i could have handled that better". The fact of the matter is I'm sure that while dick was making mistakes Danni made more then her share also. It could all be an act but i think for what we have seen dick means what he says so i believe that he really would like to improve his relationship with his daughter. Life is to short and you never know when some you love (even if your mad at them) could be taken away from you with out notice or warning. Some times the most adult thing you can do is just to let the past go and focus on the future. We never hear about her mother, so i wonder what the story with her?

Blondie · « **Reply #7 on:** July 25, 2007, 05:10:15 PM »

No matter what anyone thinks of Dick, I think he has tried LATELY to be very sincere. I personally really like Dick. Yes Daniele is only 20, but come on, she is acting like a little brat.

If she is an adult, like she keeps telling everyone, she should begin acting like one. What I am getting is that Dick, was left with his two children to rear the best he could. Thank goodness for his mother. I think she kinda took over and mostly raised them. Dick was also young when he was left with two small children. he had not grown up himself yet.

cudo's to Dick in trying to mend his relationship with his daughter.

MamaTo4boys · « **Reply #8 on:** July 25, 2007, 10:40:05 PM »

I do think that Daniele could have tried to be more understanding but when a person is hurting (whether cause of their parents or their boyfriend/girlfriend) they can't be approached like that. Im not saying as a parent I don't make mistakes and my boys are only 3, 2 and 3 months. So ya know I feel for Dick in that aspect. But honestly look how he treats the other HGs that are COMPLETE strangers. And then Daniele says he treats her the same way. HMM!

I do after today seeing how she treats Nick think she is so immature. I dunno.

when dick and dani had the convo in the hoh room (they aired this on tuesday) he was so calm and tried to have her open up....

she reminded me of me a couple years ago...it didn't matter what someone said, or how they said it, the person saying it has hurt them so much thats all they see/hear and they are highstrung about it...she can't get past the past....she almost had a temper tantrum because the truth hurts...she didn't want to hear about how nick can mess up her relationship with her bf, or how it might hurt her with the house...she is being selfish and it will take time for her to relax about this. i think the only way she can full be rationale with her dad is if nick is gone and she has no one left (as long as it wasn't dick's fault nick is gone)

MamaTo4boys · « **Reply #10 on:** July 27, 2007, 11:24:21 AM »

CeeJay, im not trying to ruin it for you since I saw something different on the live feeds in the HOH. I think that is what is cool about the live feeds. BB puts everything from one week into 3, 1 hour episodes.

Nuala · « **Reply #11 on:** July 27, 2007, 11:41:37 AM »

I think they are both being themselves and this is how they deal with pain and disappointment.

Up until I was 23 I threw tantrums. So, I would not be a good judge of this topic.

Blondie · « **Reply #12 on:** July 27, 2007, 11:01:39 PM »

Explain Mama,
What did you see, I watched the live feeds also and saw a calm Dick also. he was trying, I'll give him that. He was calm and talked to her rationally. Did better than a lot of parents, he was really doing the best he knew how, no matter about the past.

MamaTo4boys · « **Reply #13 on:** July 28, 2007, 11:32:20 PM »

The one where he was calm was in the one room with the tiny beds (plaid sheets) the one they aired on Tuesday where he threw the pillow in the HOH room? He was sitting she was standing at the door and im not sure what was said but everything she said he would just have a smart ass comment right back.

Blondie · « **Reply #14 on:** July 29, 2007, 12:16:39 AM »

:tup:I have a special chop for you Mama, I hope you like it!

MamaTo4boys · « **Reply #15 on:** July 29, 2007, 01:53:00 AM »

Like I said, I was sticking up for her for the fact that shes been hurt. I can see why she wouldn't want to deal with their relationship on national tv with video cameras around you 24/7. But in that same sense, my perspective of Daniele changed seeing her with others in the house. Make sense? Shes really annoyed me more for how she is treating everyone else.

Great, im kinda nervous to see the chop. I never meant to start anything by my comments. Im no longer on the Daniele like wagon ya know?

MamaTo4boys · « **Reply #16 on:** July 29, 2007, 02:02:47 AM »

Thanks for the chop.

I also just want to say that I see what she is doing to Nick (while im a Nick fan, I would see it anyways if I wasn't). She wants him to pull away after she was the one that was holding hands, she was the one that told him "I want to kiss you" and what not. Then she gets mad cause she got caught up so Nick tried giving her space and she flipped out. Then he hugs Jen and she is jealous. WTF?

LOL, No need to be nervous, Have fun with this. I just like to stir the pot every once in a while. It lets me see and hear what and who posters are thinking of and sometimes gives me a good idea for a chop like yours!

Danna · « **Reply #18 on:** July 29, 2007, 11:26:13 AM »

I'm on the fence on this one.
I actually like Daniele, but she does have some immaturity about her.
However, She's only 20...... She has alot to learn.
The worst I see is she's very gossipy, but i think thats just her age.
The Nick Thing? Again she's so young and probably has lots of abandonment and attention issues.
I think she's making a mistake, but i think it's her lack of life experience...
I think alot of people thought they knew it all when they were her age (

)
I'm not even going to begin to go there with the relationship with her and Dick.
I just dont think its my place. Theres so much we dont know about their relationship.
Dick talks about lots of drug use in his past. Was he neglectful of her? That's so hurtful as a young child....
I think theres just too much baggage there for us to try to debate.....

CeeeJay · « **Reply #19 on:** July 30, 2007, 02:18:08 PM »

honestly though...she acts like a child around ED and I'm tired of her freaking out on him when he's being nice to her...she keeps saying he's talking to her poorly in the house...i have yet to see that...i think she's getting a blurred vision from possibly her past or her impression/version of the truth....she needs to calm herself down....

kc · « **Reply #20 on:** July 30, 2007, 02:30:00 PM »

I'm sure crowning up with Dick wasn't easy especially if he was like he is in the house. Although his son doesn't seem to have the same problems with him as Danni does so you kind of have to wonder about that.

Danni cries your suppose to be my father but you don't talk to me like a father, then when dick tries Danni tells him she doesn't want him to be a father she wants him to be her friend.

I haven't seen him talking bad to her, but i don't have the feeds so i only get to see what they show me on TV each week, but it seems to me that he is really trying to do the right thing, only every time he does what she said she wants it turns out it is not what she wanted and she keeps changing her mind. Its really hard to follow the rules one sets if the rules keep changing with out warning.
