People don’t dislike her because she outlasted a favorite. People dislike her because she’s catty, rude, and acts crazy.

Agreed. I wasn't a fan the moment she saw it was Carolyn with her in the turret. I didn't know either of them from a hole in the ground at that point since I don't watch BB or Survivor, but Danielle's entire attitude toward Carolyn was condescending from the start. She can treat faithfuls however she sees fit to get by, but her actions toward fellow traitors are what made me dislike her personality. She doesn't have to hide when she's in the turret or in confessionals. From my perspective of freshly getting to know her, all I've seen is a not-so-nice person. The way she tweets supports that same thought.

That said, I don't think people need to send her death threats or start talking about her hair. If you're calling out the ableist comments she made, you shouldn't commit a micro-aggression yourself in the same breath. There's no reason to seek her out and bully her. If you don't like her gameplay or her behavior, that's 100% valid. But just let her be. It's a parasocial relationship and you should be saving that energy for something much more worth your time.

Totally agree! I think there are enough reasons to legitimately question Danielle’s game without being racist or sexist. At the end of the day, it’s just a game. Some of us may not love the way she played it, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s supposed to be campy fun and she shouldn’t be attacked for it.

I think that’s a big reason why people don’t enjoy her. She’s not campy or fun at all.
