Without giving ED too much credit (he still seems like a Lex Wannabee to mee), I feel like I did during Allstars, when Will and Mike were so obviously manipulating the entire house, and the hammies pretty much vied with each other for the post of Head Minion (and/or "Ho", as Erika may recall)...Danielle in particular seems well situated, with Nick in her lap and ##### at her back. It is sort of like a prolonged march to a foregone conclusion, unless someone wakes the fvck up.

Or is it just me?

I think they're too obvious a pair to be left together, especially when they're the only preset duo in the house. Even if they get into screaming fights every other week, someone's eventually going to decide that the father just might carry the daughter to the end. It doesn't matter how loud they get: at some point, someone will decide 'Ohmigawd, they're family!' and freak out to the mirrors. They'll probably be looking at another both-sides nomination somewhere down the line.

On the other hand, as long as you've got a pair working together, there's a chance to just pass HoH back and forth -- but we all saw how well that idea worked in Season #6.

I think that some people do realize that Danielle and ED are a dangerous pair and that their relationship is mending quite well (or at least enough to form a strategy and loyalty). However, those who realize this are not in the majority. Kail and her men...excluding Nick, seem to see that the two need to go, Danielle even more so as she is sweeping away their fourth.
The others (Amber, Dustin,Nick, etc.) are basically playing the game based more on who they like than who is a danger.

In fact, the real big threat is Danielle. On one side she has her father who desperately wants to stay in this house with her as long as they can and would take her to final 2 even if it meant second place for him. Then she has Nick, who is too googly eyed to consider the fact that Danielle would never take him to final 2 (unless he becomes really disliked) because next to daddy it's a sure win. Never mind the posse she has trailing behind her.

Kail and her men...excluding Nick, seem to see that the two need to go

And yet, Kail was the ONLY vote for Dick to leave.
