I think the response she gave there was an appropriate one. If she recorded a video saying that she'd made a lot of mistakes and had totally learned from and fixed all of them, it would come across like she was saying what she needed to in order to get the heat off her. I would hope that in this day and age, when people find out they've done or said things to hurt people they'd respond like this by saying "tell me more - what happened and how can I do better".

My 7 year old is more aware of things she says than Christmas is. She's got a lot of learning to do. I hope she actually means it.

We have to realize that these people are filmed 24 hour a day for quite a while, during sometimes tense circumstances with people who are aquaintenances at best, who are also tense & have their own problems. Any one of us would probably say a few things we regretted or weren't proud of under these circumstance.
God only knows what people would hear if I was taped 24/7 for months on end. I know I sometimes confide feelings in friends/family that aren't really all that nice, about others who I feel have wronged or slighted me. It's called venting. I realize later that I was speaking in the moment, not of feelings I really have about the person. Unfortunately the people on this show are taped for the world to see/hear, and it becomes on permanent record.
I appreciate the fact that Christmas is admitting this & says she needs to work on herself, and that she has reached out to her fellow contestants. The first step is admitting you've made a mistake & will try to improve. She deserves kudos for that. They should all do that.

Christmas is the last person I'd cut slack too. She went on a fake Instagram Live apology tour a week after BB19 too.

Look who's the spiteful name calling attacker now. She didn't deserve that. But, that's the internet for you.

I wish that person would have just left it to the question instead of calling her names. It would have been much more impactful.

Nicole F (BB16, 18 & 22) and Victor's first podcast since she got home. They talk about sequester and after season stuff and postponing their wedding to May 2021. They plan to talk about the game next week. bit.ly/NICOLE-RETURNS-HOME-FROM-BB22I have never listened to one of their postcasts before. I really enjoyed that. They are so good together. Well that clears up exactly what "spaghetti salad" is that she made in the house. It is just a Macaroni salad. I make it all the time in the summer. Nicole said normally she uses the tricoloured rotini noodles but since they only had spaghetti noodles that is what she had to use. I don't use Italian salad dressing on mine. I use mayo and add tuna. My daughter loves the Tuna Macaroni Salad I make.

That was a fun podcast from them. I've never heard one of them before either. Her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard. The whininess from BB is there too. I guess that's just the way she talks. Victor does seem to ground her a lot. He seems to not take any of the bull from the show all that seriously & encourages her to do the same. I liked her explanation of how she didn't get the chance the others did to decompress alone at the Jury House, but instead it was all right in front of the cameras at the Finale. Makes sense to me, but it was still fun to watch.
As to the cold Spaghetti Salad, I can't believe people haven't heard of it or had it before. I guess it's a Northern or Midwest staple at pot lucks, weddings, graduations. I've never made it, but have had it for years.
I hope someone posts their next podcast re: the show.

I think it was adrenaline that prevents them from sleeping the first 24 hours after the finale, but if she thinks it’s due to being unrestricted.....ok. Victor feeding the possums all summer is funny. I wonder if the possums will find their way back, since it was just a 2 mile trip to the woods. Destination weddings are expensive, but, I don’t know if it will be any safer to have it in May 2021? It is just 6 months away. Maybe, but I doubt it.

Apology accepted or too little too late?

Wow, that took a while. I wonder what prompted her to apologize now instead of right after the show.

When did it become a rule to lie and manipulate people? I know that is a strategy some houseguests use, some do it while still being nice, and others do it in a very aggravating way. But, I personally tend to like the people who are smart, honest, kind and truthful. But, This “apology”, sounds more like someone who is justifying their behavior. Whatever.....

I think this is a tricky one. I'll give her the point that what we see of a person in the BB house is not the whole person. They are playing a game, and they are living under abnormal circumstances. So I'll give her the point that watching someone on feeds does not give a total picture of who the person is. However, she seems to be saying that anything bad she did or said was game play that was manipulating people to win. I don't buy that. There's A LOT of game play in the house. But there are also moments they let their hair down, relax and just live, and we see those too. And in those moments, we get glimpses of a person's character - albeit not the total picture. So I'll resist saying Danielle is a terrible and irredeemable person. I'll say instead that she showed questionable behavior. I'll even give her the benefit of the doubt in thinking that maybe the reason her apology was so delayed was that she took the time to watch things back to understand exactly what people saw. Then perhaps she did take the time to speak to people directly as they deserve apologies more than the public does.
So maybe she did all those things. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt in thinking so. She's still not anyone I'd want to hang out with or be friends with. Well, maybe hang out enough time to grill her on the behind the scenes of Big Brother - but no more.

Well, I just sat through nearly an hour of Nicole crying on air. She used the entire podcast as her personal therapy session. If it worked & she feels better, then good for her. I just hope that getting all that out was what she needed. I know I certainly didn't need to hear it. The show really did seem to rip her up emotionally. That wasn't phony. She did seem to see herself as a huge victim though. Even though she did take responsibility for the hurt she caused others, it was all done in a manner to make everyone feel sorry for her. I hope she never goes on this show again. Not because of any hatred or dislike I'd feel toward her, but because it just takes way too much out of her. She's clearly way too sensitive & takes everything too hard to deal with a show like this. She seems to be happy with her life & with Victor, and he is very supportive of her. I say stay off Big Brother & live your life happily with Victor. It will be better in the long run. Money's just not worth it.

I am so sorry you watched that.
There is no way I am ever going to subject myself to her for even 5 minutes ever again. Even if she's on BB....
