And That Leaves A One-Sided Triangle

I didn't realise how flakey and ditzy Danielle is until last night's Eviction Show. I have nothing against the girl specifically (other than making me laugh at Gretel's jokes re: Clueless, et al and causing me to think of Gretel as fondly as I have since the Merlin episode*), but my -- isn't she a scatterbrain!




She has commitment issues. She can't commit to a boy, and she can't commit to a decision. In fact, she can't commit to a sentence! What kind of person jumps back and forth on what they're saying so much that she never remembers the question, has real problems trying to identify the point being made by the interviewer, and ends an answer leaving the audience completely confused as to what she was saying. Not to mention how many 'likes' she inserts into her answers! She out-weighs Jamie's score of 8 or 9 the other night on FNL, for sure.

No one answered my question last week about Jade and Dino: Did they receive any additional prizes other than those won by Michael the week before? Did Jade and Dino get a motorbike as well, or did they get a car? I'm guessing they got motorbikes and Danielle was the first to win a car, due to the practical issues with fitting two cars on the stage. Plus, they were expected to give away the motorbikes as the 'main prize' for another week after Anna and Michael.

Makes you wonder how far the prizes can escalate now if there are still ten people inside. Will they get multiple cars as we get closer to the end? A car and a motorbike? Maybe a car and a boat? A house? Kris Noble's job? It could get really crazy.

Poor Elise, Tilli and Karen. They basically got nothing!

Anyway, back to Danielle's head-against-a-brick-wall interview.

It really shows how much better all the other Housemates have done in their Eviction Shows. Danielle is a lovely girl, but she gives a really bad interview!

I'll be interested to see how John reacts now to having lost both Dino and Danielle. But more interesting will be the re-pairing (if you know what I mean -- not to be confused with 'repairing') of Dino and Danielle themselves. That's clearly what Gretel was alluding to at the end of last night's show; they're both going to appear on whatever show it was Gretel was pushing at the time.

I wonder if it'll be a bit of an anti-climax, seeing Dino has washed his hands of Danielle and she can't string a sentence together?**



* I don't have a problem with him making his point. I just mean that Gretel handled a really bad TV moment very well, all things considered. She still had a job to do and he was being intentionally difficult and 'obtuse'. If only she'd been able to maintain that kind of control and maturity in the past two years!

** UPDATE: It was.
