I'm of several different minds about this whole mess.  I do think it was fine for her game to target Bay/Day as a duo, which however it started out is the case now.  But I'm sorry -her going on about

If Nicole is in the final two she will have to admit right then and there that she was the one who voted out Ian when asked by the jury OR the second person in the final two (who will probably be a committee member) will say it.

Ummm... depends. Dani knows the truth of Nicole’s vote, and so does Ian via Nicole’s GBM - but other than those two has Nicole directly confessed to anyone of her vote to evict Ian, or is everybody else working off assumptions?  Keep in mind part of Dani and Nicole’s plan was to keep Nicole’s true vote under wraps so as to implicate David - not just to Day and Kevin, but to the other Committee members as well.

Quote

This is not gonna be kept a secret for long. To be honest I think Day will find out with certainty before she gets voted out by David, because David will have no reason to lie to her when she is out the door.

David knows one half of the truth for certain (that he didn’t VTE Ian), and very strongly suspects the other half (that Nicole did) - but at this point, is Day likely to believe anything David says even if they end up bunkies in the JH?

So the main question becomes this: just how long can Dani and Nicole keep a secret?  And if God hates us enough to give both Dani and Nicole a seat at F2, who’s to say they might not carry that secret all the way through to the end?  The longer they carry the secret, after all, the more risk there is of alienating their alliance mates - and to reveal such at F2 could blow up their entire season. So save the confessions until after the votes are counted - if you can.  😉

I think everyone in the committee knows? I think even Enzo knows - not that he gives a f*@k yo. I know Tyler and Cody know because Tyler was laughing about how Day tried to say she voted for him to stay - as a campaign to use the veto. Actually Xmas knows too because she told David she'd say something in the goodbye message

The veto ceremony was yesterday. Twitter seems to think the animals might be because they’re finally fixing the sinks that have been clogged for weeks.

see...I was hoping it was some secret competition or twist... but it's just a clogged drain #2020

I will say that on Dani's first season, when she was absolutely blindsided by her estranged "bad blood in the past" father, Dick, I felt really sorry for her.  Everybody else's "bad blood" pairing was much less hurtful than a bad parent/child relationship, and I was pissed at the producers for that.  It is one thing to confront an ex boyfriend with that sort of emotional implications, and absolutely quite another to confront your estranged father where the emotional minefield must be vast and exponentially more dangerous.

So I automatically felt sorry for her because of that.  Then Dick turned into such an incredible ass, I felt even more sorry for her.  Then I started observing that her apple didn't fall far from his tree, and they both are pretty despicable people.  Dick's diatribe is not at all unexpected, either as a reflection of his personality, or hers.

I think Dani is damaged.  But I'm over giving her a break for it, she hasn't done much to make herself better.  So regardless of her background, or how she got that way, the result is that she's a jerk.  So is Dick.

How was Memphis when Tyler didn't use veto? Thought he had a hard on for getting David on the block and out of the house????

He had moved past that by Saturday night. He's now pretty blase about the whole thing. You know, sort of a "Eh, does it really matter what order we evict the three of them?" In fact, I think he's even come around to the fact that it probably actually makes him look good to David.

Yea he doesn’t care. It’s just like in his first hoh when he really wanted Ian out but was like ‘oh well whatever’ when it didn’t happen.

I guess it’s pretty easy to not give a fuck when you had people setting you up with alliances and deals pregame lol. Although Cody, who was set up pregame while also having the game shake out in his favor every single week, still manages to let any little inconvenience piss him off.

More significantly: when David “agreed” with Difficult not to gun for PoV and shook on it, I suspect this impressed upon Difficult the possibility of David being a relatively malleable and useful tool in the immediate future - or, at least, a definitely less threatening opponent than Day.  
Not to mention David is the biggest coaster in the House, so it makes sense to use him as a kite; fly him when/where you need to serve your own ends, then cut his string when you’re done and let him drop.

Does it really have to take two hours for Tyler to NOT use the PoV?  🙄

Of course, it would be hilarious if Tyler decided to take Day off the Block just for kicks; ruinous to his own game, no doubt, but funny as hell.  😄

The PoV ceremony was yesterday. This is something else entirely. Someone upthread theorized that they might be doing some house repairs.

Perhaps this is a "neighbor" thing or a pandoras box type of situation or.... sadly, this is just one hell of a clog.

The neighbor thing is on Thursday.

They have to be fixing the sinks that have been clogged for 2 weeks.

There will probably be a fight while they're locked in the HOH room and then when the feeds come back they'll go to stars every 2 minutes when the HGs talk about it.

I am actually legitimately curious about this neighbor thing now that we know it's not Zingbot like I assumed. I can't remember exactly what Julie said but it didn't seem to me like it was going to be some big, game-changing twist or anything.

Termites? At this point, I vote to tent the house with all the HGs in it, lol.

Other than that, I'm basically just reading here at this point, and mainly watching the show for the comps. And Zingbot, just because I want to watch them all sniffle and whine. More than usual, anyway.

The contestants seem as bored as the viewers are, and my main takeaway from the last couple of days is that Lorenzo is actually a really cool name, yo.

She does not see irony at all. I did turn off the feeds (and watched Sunday’s episode instead, which only strengthened my Xmas hate), but not fast enough to miss listening to her anguish over how hard it was for her to evict Bayleigh and how much she cried over it, and how much she misses talking to Kaysar, because he was so intelligent and “so self-defecating”.

She thinks only smart people deserve to win. Now THERE’S your irony, Silent Night.

...did she really say self-defecating? Because that's fantastic.

ETA: On the Dani/Dick thing...I think they're both terrible. Yes, Dani had some major strikes against her having Dick as a father, but some of this is all on her. I think they're both just generally miserable, toxic people. I feel a little more bad for Dani, but I'm happy to never have to be around either one of them. I know people who grew up in some pretty horrible, abusive environments who have worked to create healthy behaviors and relationships as they grew up. It's no easy task.

Except I don’t totally believe that Dick and Dani were as estranged as they made it seem on Season 8. She clearly didn’t like him. HOwe we, they were finalists to be a pair on Season 6. They talked about being sequestered in the hotel and being bussed back and forth on interviews on the Season 8 feeds and Dick was gaga at how hot he thought Janelle was and he was so bummed that they weren’t cast. I saw pics of Dani in her hotel Sequester for Season 6 with very light brown hair. I think they encouraged her to go very blind for Season 8 or she changed it a lot. I think Dick and Dani played up their estrangement to make it work with theme of Season 8 where there were 3 people that were enemies of 3 of the first 10 in the house. Dustin/Joe were ex’s on bad terms and Jessica/Carol were friends who had a (stupid) falling out in high school and became enemies. Having a father/daughter team was such a blatant advantage, it really wasn’t fair. It was his CHILD. He was never going to not vote her out or try to save her in the game, even if she wanted to act like she wanted nothing to do with him. When things were rough in the house, she went to strategize with him and she greatly benefited from his bullying behavior in that others were scared of him and she was an automatic victim that everyone felt sorry for. Production edited the TV version to show a dad working hard to re-establish a relationship with his daughter. It was our first Grodner season and we were ALL manipulated in to that Dick/Daniele Final 2 with Eric as America’s Player.

My impression on the relationship is that Dick was an absentee father while Dani was growing up and they were never on great terms. However, both have are huge fans of the show and would do whatever they can to get on together since it was the only way either would be cast originally. I don't think they were super close going into BB8 or have ever been that close outside the Big Brother house. Absolutely an unfair advantage between that and America's Player is why I can't take Dick's win that seriously. Season 8 will always make me angry lol. I prefer pre game alliances over the unfair advantage Dick/Danielle had on that season.

I agree with this impression. You articulated it much better! What you said about the not being close except for the trying to be a pair on BB 6 is how I viewed it too. Despite their estrangement, Dick was never going to do anything harmful to her game and he would save her at his own expense. They had an advantage (They are still family!) that no one else ever had and it is rarely discussed regarding their F2 placement in BB8.

Exactly. Even Dani said on BB13 they can only get along in the Big Brother (yes because of money and ego). To be fair I think most reasonable fans have Dick as the second or worst winner due to the unfair advantage of America's Player. He would have been the first juror. I think that is why it is not talked about more.

This is my first season with actual feeds. I usually relied on recaps and YouTube clips. My first ever "feeds" clip I watched was during season 5 when Nakomis had her meltdown because Cowboy told her he was voting her out from one of those sketchy websites lol. Seasons I did not follow the feeds at all Season 10+12.

I watched Seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 without live feeds. The only season I didn’t really watch was Season 5. I was very busy that summer, lol. I started reading about the episodes and about what happened in this discussion thread of live feeds (back when it was TWOP days with recaps from Miss Alli) during Season 7 All Stars. I started watching the live feeds Season 8 because Showtime After Dark started that year and played for 3 hours live every night from 9 pm-12 am BBT. It was amazingly enlightening to me to see what really happens and how they really talk and hang out and how the relationships develop compared to what is shown and packaged on the show. I continued to tape and watch BBAD on Showtime 2 for the next few seasons through Season 14 and reading the discussion board. (I didn’t have Showtime or feeds for Season 12– but read the live discussion updates). Season 15 was the first year that I bought the feeds because Showtime canceled and After Dark moved to Pop and I didn’t have that channel. I then became addicted and didn’t look back. Didn’t watch much of BB21. I really had no stomach for those people. Now I am back watching this year! That’s my BB feed history 😁

Dick was an absentee dad for much of Dani's childhood. Sounds like he tried to overcompensate the way many absentee parents do -- by buying her shit. And sounds like she reacted the way many teens do -- by using a parent as an ATM. The thing is as people grow up relationships evolve. Sounds like Dani and Dick got stuck on that gear and when the money ran dry Dani cut Dick off.

A lot of things Dani has said gives me red flags. For one she said she didn't want to have another child other than Tennessee because she's not sure she could love the second child as much as Tennessee. Why can't she love all her children? Maternal love shouldn't be a zero sum game where one child is more loved than the other child. Another thing she said is how worried she was Tennessee would react to Dom caring for her becuase she's never allowed Tennessee to be out of her sight for more than an hour. Why wouldn't she trust her husband and Tennessee's father to care for the child they have TOGETHER? It's like she feels Tennessee is exclusively her possession.

And what she's said about ghosting Porsche after she felt like Porsche was hitting on Dom and also ghosting another woman for the same reason makes me think that she doesn't know how to handle relationships in a healthy way -- she just ghosts people and that's that. Porsche fyi has tweeted back and forth at Dom and they seem on friendly enough terms so apparently Dom doesn't feel uncomfortable around Porsche. Also the way she behaves with Cody sometimes is hypocritical if she ghosts people if she even suspects they flirt with Dom.

In other words I think Dani is just a very negative person and sees the shade in all situations instead of the light. It affects her ability to have positive relationships with people. Evel Dick is very much the same way.

I've barely watched this season, which has resulted in my being barely visible on these boards.  It is odd because I thought I'd watch all the time because I'm working from home now thanks to Mr. Covid.  But nothing has caught my attention enough to want to see what is happening at 2:36 p.m. on a given Tuesday.  I hope it will change, because I've gotten a lot of entertainment value from the feeds over the years.

I think not having Big Brother After Dark has really impacted my enjoyment of the show. The specific air time worked well for me. And I enjoyed BBAD more than these 24/7 feeds. 

And BBAD didn't cut to trivia or what would be stars, I guess now. I don't remember what they did, but they definitely weren't as annoying as the feeds when they cut them.

I distinctly remember the night this occurred live on BBAD. It was a Saturday night in summer 2008. It was hilarious. The first thing I did was pop on to the TWOP discussion thread to have peeps to process the complete circus that night. I remember posting that I could NOT believe these women were all 30 years old. It seemed so old at the time. Old enough to not be screaming about “you disrespected my HOH”... Those were good times back when feeds were so fun and HGs forgot about the cameras and played the game and also hated each other at times and fought like cats and dogs living in a small box 😂 “Who wants cake?” will never not be funny.
