So you're saying Renny dislikes Dan based on nothing he's done in the house, more on her own biases? That's what it sounds like to me.

Bias? How about experience? Can't speak for everyone, but lots of us get a sense of a particular person based on prior life experiences and multiple interactions with a variety of people. Renny's sense, like mine, is that Dan is a fraud. And I'm giving Renny the benefit of the doubt that her sense of Dan stems from her experience dealing with others similar to and different than Dan. Further, if Dan during his DR sessions is to be believed, he is playing the role of a deceiver. So it is reasonable for Renny to question Dan's motives and actions and conclude that he's not forthright. It appears to me, for example, that much of the flattery Dan engages in is not genuine.

The question with respect to Dan, as it was with Dr. Will, is how much of the deceitfulness is gameplay and how much is hard-wired into his personality. Dan is not nearly as glib as was Dr. Will, and Dan exhibits a more bratty persona. So my conclusion is that Dan's deceitfulness, while part gameplay, is more closely associated with his real personality. And I'm thinking Renny feels the same way. Again, that's my take. But I would argue that it is not an unreasonable read of Dan.
