Now I can't remember BB8 that well anymore, but I would say that Daniele was definitely the better player of the two...and always has been.

My reasons for Daniele:
1. In Big Brother 8, Dick would have most likely been evicted on Day 48 had Eric not had to go against his alliance and campagin against Dustin. Dick was saved by a twist.

2. Daniele won two HOHs and five PoVs in Big Brother 8 whereas Dick won three HOHs and three PoVs...pretty even, but statistically Daniele has won more competitons.

3. This series I think the only reason Daniele is now out is because of the 'returning housemate' twist. If that twist hadn't have been implemented, Daniele would have evicted Brendan, Kalia would have evicted Rachel, Daniele would have then probably been able to evict Jeff in her second HOH, Porsche would have won last week's HOH filling up the tank as Rachel and Jeff would have been evicted, and in this fast forward week Kalia would still have won HOH.


Maybe I just can't remember BB8 very well but I don't understand this whole 'Daniele living in her father's shadow' thing...

I think that it's only fair to judge them on Big Brother 8 and in my opinion Daniele was hands down the better player.

I don't remember BB8 all that well either. But I find it hard to separate them and say who was better. At the time I considered them equal.

In my memory I wouldn't say that Dani was playing under Dick's shadow though. I think that only comes because Dick was such a vocal presence in the house and also basically played for Daniele at certain points instead of himself. But she did win stuff in her own right too.

It's easier to judge Dani from BB13 I think, and she was awesome in that.

Daniele is a great competitor, Dick was a good one,

Your point about America saving Dick, while being true, ignores the fact that Dick won the Veto that week and chose to use it on Dani. So if you choose to downplay Dick for being saved by America, then do the same for Dani, because she was saved by her dad. No one else would have used the Veto on her.

Daniele's social game consisted largely of finding a guy to obsess about (Nick BB8 & Dominic BB13). Yes she formed a solid alliance with two women this time around, but that had more to do with mutual circumstance, than her powers of persuasion. Kalia and Porsche were both desperate waifs and strays, generally rejected by the House and Dani was persona non grata with her former alliance after her catastrophic plan to backdoor Jeff in week 3. But then, Dani's strategy in BB13 has been awful from start to finish.

In BB8 it was pretty much the whole House against the Donatos. Dick started out being cooperative, targetting Kail's Mrs Robinson alliance. But as they left, it dawned on him that he and Dani would soon be next. So he chose all out intimidation and social assault. It worked. Having said that, it is interesting to note that Jury member Jessica voted for Dick because, she had a "better time" with him than Dani. A fact that still bugs Dani to this day.

Evel Dick is a legend, Dani is not.

I'd choose ED every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

I think ED was a great player and Dani must have got bored and wanted to play a hard game.

I personally think if Dani left ED would have been evicted at around the same time.

Together they are a great team. But apart they are good but not best.

Daniele imo is ED wasnt in there she would of won imo cause she wouldnt of had her dad to put a target on her back as he brought so much attention to the pair of them.

but Evil made BB 8 so watchable he made me LOL so many times i loved it when he would walk in a room and the rock music would play and you know from then sh*ts going down ED did play a great game though .
