I'm pretty sure this is the longest thread for any of the contestants on ALW's shows.

Actually it's the second longest. I just looked at the other boards, and Lee's thread on the ADWD board is on Part 17!

We've still got a ways to go to catch up with that one.
As for Danielle's reactions to the judges' praise, I've always loved how she reacted when ALW gushed about her in week 2 ("You're really fantastic!" etc.) She did this kind of nervous giggle and actually looked kind of uncomfortable, like she couldn't believe he was talking about her and didn't quite know how to react. She really doesn't seem to realize how talented she is.
I also relate to the "not shy around friends, but takes a while to warm up to new people" mentality, because that is exactly me, as well. I can be downright silly with my close friends, but I tend to clam up if I'm surrounded by new people.
