The only person that can contend with her is Dan. Please let it be a treading water comp. Please let it be a treading water comp. Please let it be a treading water comp.

Going to a Catholic School does not mean you were raised Catholic and even being raised Catholic does not mean you are a devote Catholic or for that matter even be a Sunday only Catholic. Dan strikes me as just an incredible nice guy who does hold dear and live Catholic teachings. I may think his views of females are a little backwards (his saying if we had a female president he would leave the country, I am hoping that was a joke), but he does not strike me as a suck up. Pepaw is the incredible suck up of the season, he is the one that gravitates to the power and tries to put his own spin on everything. Dan is so unlike PePaw. With all the provocation PePaw gave him, I don't think anyone would blame him for getting back at him a little bit at all, yet what does he do? He turns the other cheek and forgives PePaw. Who comes off in the better light, Dan and not the wanna-be street fighter fake Kernal. I agree. I know for a fact that two of my cousins became atheists at a Catholic High School because their biology teacher 'proved' to them there was no God. Also, Dan already stated he played up the conservative angle to get on the show. He's not really that hardcore about it.

We seem to have gotten smart about Hillary. The alternative is not that much better. It looks like if Mr. Obama is elected he will name Caroline Kennedy as Ambassador to GB. Check your history books for the last Kennedy named as Ambassador to the court of St. James (Hint, he was a Nazi sympathizer...and a Catholic!). Back to game. (Even if you were a staunch catholic Die, I would still luv ya!)

I don't know Dan's background, other than he was raised Catholic, but my take on him as a person is based primarily on how he has conducted himself on the show. One need only observe Dan's behavior on the show, listen to him, watch his body language, and then relate it to the behavior of others one has known over the years. From that, conclusions can be drawn, rightly or wrongly, about Dan's personality. Dan is exceptionally obsequious (sickeningly obsequious, if that isn't being redundant), more so than anyone else in that house and arguably more so than anyone who has ever appeared on past BB seasons. I see Dan interact with others and I see Eddie Haskell. Except, with Dan, I think it's less of an act. The way Dan's raises his voice in the DR (again, unlike any other houseguest) arguably indicates that he's trying really hard to be believed because he's fully aware he's not being honest. I don't trust the guy. I don't believe him. That smirk. The shifty body language. All that pretending. It comes too easily, like it's second nature. And I've seen it all before. Dan may seem to be the brown-noser Eddie Haskell was, but to be a true Eddie Haskell you need to invent weasel schemes which would get the friends he talked into doing these schemes into trouble. Dan is polite but he does not dream up the schemes which wreck havoc on others. (I don't include the Pranks that he and Keesha do since they are doing the pranks on each other.) Dan's scheming to get ahead in the game is just his version of how to get ahead in the game. Can't fault him for playing the game even if his game style is such a milquetoast way.

I'm pretty sure you're right about the presidency remark (being specific to Hillary Clinton) but for some reason people keep repeating/reposting it as if he said it about all women. X re: what you said about people trying to analyze what he was like as a kid based on absolutely nothing. Who cares what any of them were like as kids.

Posts: 42 (08/21/08 9:16 AM) More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Utopian wrote: I get why Renny feels more affection for Keesha than Dan. In fact, it makes perfect sense. We are our upbringing. Having attended Catholic school, I knew plenty of guys just like Dan. Always kissing up, always the teacher's pet, always got stars on his conduct chart. But when you got a black mark on your conduct chart, guys like Dan would come up to you with a big, fat smirk on their faces. They were always the hall monitors, telling you not to talk and not to run and reporting you to the Sister Superior when you did. But for the nuns' constant presence, guys like Dan would have had their faces punched in on a daily basis because they were so smarmy. Guys like Dan were also always picked as the alter boys, primarily because they were such suck-ups and also, I suspect, because they were the ones the priests most fantasized about. And yes, Dan is the perfectly polite, respectful gentleman. But it's all a Eddie Haskell act if you ask me. Folk think Jerry is a big, fat chauvinist. And they are right. But 50 bucks says Dan would give Jerry a run for his money in that regard. You think Dan doesn't want his woman to be barefoot in the kitchen and pregnant, I wonder whether that isn't wishful thinking. I know many disagree. But that's my take, and I'm sticking to it. I don't necessarily agree with everything you said but you made me think. Thanks for an interesting perspective.

There is no way a person can carry on an Eddie Haskall 'act' for this many days under nonstop observation. One great thing about this show is that people's true personalities come out after they weary of their initial facades. Dan is my favorite person in the house and I'm a card-carrying unreligious progressive homo. I can't believe people are still judging him by his bio and by the tone of his voice as its being recorded in a small room. There are hours and hours of footage to dispel most of the nastier things that people have proclaimed. I especially love all the judgements of Dan's character based on others individual experiences in Catholic school decades ago. Why are people so Janellous of Dan?

Hell, there were hours and hours of Eddy Haskell, and I thought he was a great guy, until he raped that nun in episode 68. I only hate ya cause I can't pronounce your nic, and that hot dog heading for your chompers.

Nonreligious progressive homo here, too, and I have to agree 100%. He has been through everything a HG can go through in the house, and has handled it well. When he was on the block, he didn't lash out and start cursing people out or bashing them. When he won POV, he didn't even cheer or pump his fists; he just accepted it gratefully. He is uncomfortable during bashing sessions of other HGs, and is completely civil and unnaturally rational with Jerry for some reason. I personally think his preshow stuff was an act -- he said almost as much to the other HGs about the stuff he said to get on the show. But Hell, even if he was the chauvinistic pig he made himself out to be, I wouldn't care. He'd still be my favorite, and that says a lot more about the other HGs, whose personalities are that more offensive to me.

X If Dan was ever going to drop his good boy act, it would have been the week Pepaw started the Judas/Burn in hell shit. How Dan managed to not kill Jerry is beyond me.

Posts: 6672 (08/21/08 9:47 AM) Such a naughty monkey More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I like Dan, he is funny and cute and seems like a nice kid for the most part. Like any kid, I imagine, he could be very annoying!! I don't think I would especially want to live with him 24/7. Although, I would pick him over anyone else in that house, for sure. The rest of them I would have to stick a shiv in them!! Just sayin!

He has years ahead of him to grow and mature. Judging him based on what you perceive to be the norm for a Catholic or Republican is just ludicrious. He is slowly wearing me down and becoming my favourite because of his quirks :/
