As for the topic of Danielle, I like her, I'm cheering for her to make it to the F2, but then again as I've said time and time again I haven't been that into this years cast, so I won't die if she doesnt.
My take on her whineyness (is that a word? lol): I suspect she's not this whiney in real life, she probably uses it because she knows her dad will do anything for her regardless. Yes they have had their ups and downs, yes she had a rough childhood, but many women know when using the whineyness, pouting, and puppy dog looks will get them something. Dick isn't as heartless as everyone wants to claim, he loves his daughter and wants her happy. If she whines she knows daddy will do what it takes to make her happy again (at least in this game). Since she can't just storm out and never speak to him again and vice versa until the show is over she might very well figure why not use it. Obviously this isn't necessarily what she is doing it is just what she COULD be doing. Let's not forget she is barely 21 and still has a lot of growing up to do. Even Jessica (as we have seen from the reaction to the nomination) still has growing up to do, it's part of being so young, with very little responsibilities (ie: children, working to put yourself thru college, or whatnot).
That's just my take. Well there is more, but ya know I'll leave it at that lol.
As of last talk they are still planning to evict Jessica, but as RFW as said, they change their mind every 10 mins, so who knows by tomorrow.
