Am I the only one who thinks that Diane looks painfully thin? I don't think it looks natural either, I have a feeling she has some sort of eating disorder.

What do you all think?

Just to recap, 'Erlanger' is the city where she's from.

She looks so much different with blonde hair.

Pssst.......candor: Nakomis is weird.

I think ya'll are giving Diane too much credit. The short snippets of conversation she had with A & N where they basically were just bullying her showed me that she really cannot stand up for herself when it comes to one on one interaction. I think she has just been reacting to events rather than actually orchrastrating anything.

I get the feeling that Diane is very insecure and I think this game may be bringing out the worst in her personality.

Why, just because she's got 18 piercings, more tattoos than a sailor, practices witchcraft and likes to get busy with whips and chains? Next you'll be saying that Richard Simmons is gay!

What's everybody looking at?

Didn't Diane make a promise to Marvin (against her gpa alliance who are supposed to be the "Good Guys" as you put it.) to protect him to the final two? Keep your eye on this girl. She is not playing to keep her commitments to anyone and is just as cut throat if not more so than the twins.

The twins actually liked all of the house guests. Diane will be arrogantly walking all over everyone and breaking more than just one promise if she pairs up with Marvin to the end.

With Nik so concerned with the "pinky swear" she is not seeing what is being done right in front of her own eyes.

well until diane actually does something that jeopardizes the karen-nak-will team i think everything you stated above is just speculation. Her action in the past speak louder than words and compare it with the action displayed by A or N, I say Diane has kept her word/ alliance much better. i must admit tho that i was sort of uneasy watching her backstab (at least in terms of gossip) marvin after their little "pack" with eachother but at the same time i would have to say that ANYONE, would that be will, jase, holly, cowboy, adria and so on, ANYONE would do exactly what di did for his/ her own sake. it's the bb game you got to look out for yourself and getting all bases covered is one of the neccesary evils in order to survive in the house.

And don't be so naive about the twins liking everyone in the house. are you kidding me? as soon as this little tv exposure is all said and done, i doubt the twins would be keeping in touch with will, marvin, scott or jase... which is sort of obvious but i wouldn't be surpised if they would never see karen, drew or di again either.... it's sort of painfully obvious whose relations are better kept than others, just because N didn't have such spectacular catch-phrase as will's when she was evicted out the door doesn't mean she doesn't hold any grudge against certain people. And A's exit last night needs no further explanation- let's just say your statement "The twins actually liked all of the house guests" (if you don't mind me saying) couldn't be more wrong!

I think Diane has pissed too many people off to win this game. If she were smart,she would go to the final 2 with someone like Karen or Marvin. Unfortunately,I think she wants to make the final 2 with Drew. I don't think she has realized that Drew hasn't pissed off anyone as much as she has.

'Big Brother' comes to an end

By Rick Bird
Post staff writer

Diane Henry of Burlington, Ky., spent Wednesday morning in a Los Angeles hotel decompressing and getting debriefed.
She had just finished 82 psychologically tough days in the cast of the CBS reality TV show "Big Brother 5," wondering about her future with Drew Daniel of Urbana, Ohio, who became her boyfriend during the show and is now $500,000 richer after being voted the winner Tuesday night.

Diane finished third and won nothing.

Her twin sister, Lindsey, also her roommate in Burlington, flew out for the show's Tuesday finale.

"I got debriefed last night and said, 'Oh my God, I need to go have a drink,'" Henry said with a laugh. "I just needed the twin here to tell me what's going on in the real world."

The cast was confined to the house during the show, with no outside media, as the drama unfolded in real time. About the last thing on Diane's mind

Wednesday was to watch herself on tapes of the series. She has no clue how she came across on the show, which averaged some 6 million viewers each week.

"I can't even imagine," she said. "I'm not sure I want to know. I'm kind of scared. The best advice everyone has been giving me is just wait a while before you watch it."

Henry, a Northern Kentucky University student and Argosy Casino cocktail waitress, has nothing to be ashamed of. She came off as one of the more grounded and shrewd players. She often broke alliances and occasionally lied to other players.

In a phone conversation Wednesday with The Post, she came across as a lot friendlier and sweeter than her often tough, hardened "Big Brother" role. She has already heard from friends since the show ended Tuesday that she was often conniving. She insists that is not her real-world persona.

"It is so not the person I am outside of that house," she said. "Coming in here everyone was going, 'Let's be peachy and happy. Let's all be honest.' Well, you cannot play that game being honest. I felt like I had to play both sides. It was the only way you can make it to the end."

Diane acknowledged that getting back in the real world is more complicated for her since she had a romantic relationship in the house with Daniel, a recent Miami University business graduate. But that relationship was strained on the show last Friday when Daniel chose to evict Diane from the house. He figured he stood a better chance winning by going up against Michael "Cowboy" Ellis.

Viewers often wondered how he lasted as long as he did. Daniel's strategy proved correct.

Henry may have cast the swing vote in Drew's 4-3 win of those who decided the winner from a jury of evicted houseguests. While she was miffed at Drew for dumping her and leaving her with a cold goodbye message, Henry still ended up giving him her vote.

"I was struggling with it. I told myself I was not going to make my decision out of bitterness or anger. I was going to give the money to whoever played the game the best. Cowboy really did nothing throughout the whole game. Drew made the best game move by putting me out. Everyone on the jury was telling me I would have won if Drew took me with him."

Diane said she wasn't that upset that she was booted from the game; she said she had been ready to go. Even after they were voted off, players were kept sequestered at a resort in Mexico. For Diane that was a short stay before Tuesday's finale in Los Angeles.

"I was bumped out Friday, on a plane Saturday afternoon to Mexico, up all night and was back on a plane Sunday afternoon."

And about that Drew thing, Diane admits after spending just one night back in the real world that she's not sure if that relationship was real.

"When I was in the house there was no doubt in my mind that it was going to be wonderful and could wait. But now that I'm out of my bubble, the reality is starting to hit me. It hit me real hard last night back in the real world. I went, 'Oh my God, I don't know if it was real or not. I'm hoping it is. It's been bothering me."

Some other thoughts from Diane on her "Big Brother" experience:

• What did she miss the most? "Privacy. You can't go to the bathroom without the cameras on you. You can't take a shower without them. Toward the end of the show it started to drive me crazy. You can't get up and walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night without a camera zooming in on you. (They were all remote-controlled. No camera people were in the house). They showed us the control room after the show was over. It was very freaky."

• An average day in the Big Brother house built on an L.A. lot? "It was nothing but sitting around. The average day was they woke you somewhere between 8 to 10 and forced us out of bed so we could sit around outside and stare at each over. Everybody ate their breakfast, walked outside and we sat there and it was like, 'Now what?' You had to think of things to do until that night when you had to go to bed, wake up, do it all over again."

• The person she never wants to hear from again? "Holly (King). I have no use for her. Or Jase (Wirey, who became Holly's boyfriend)."

• What might surprise viewers? She considers herself close to Scott Long, from Pittsburgh, who early on called her "trailer trash," bringing Diane to tears. "I loved Scott and we forgave each other. That house will just drive you crazy."

• Was the experience stressful? "I never felt stressed, but I think I was mentally stressed. It was happening without my knowledge. You never knew what was going on in there. At the end I just wanted to get out of this place. Just evict me."

Henry said while the cameras were omnipresent, she never had an urge to put on a show.

"No, no, no," she said. "There were a lot of people in the house saying, 'Let's give them good TV. Let's make it a good show.' I always said, 'I'm just going to be me.'"

For her immediate future Henry is planning to stay in Los Angeles. She and her sister had appointments there this week for modeling and acting jobs, interviewing with agents.

"That's the plan if I can make it happen," Henry said.

She said her "boyfriend" Drew is postponing going to law school also to pursue opportunities that the show's fleeting flame may provide him. He's also visiting agents with his twin brother.

"I need to go back to school. I'm almost done -- 28 credit hours left," Henry said. "I'm definitely not going back to Argosy. Third shift, five nights a week. Pleeeease, c'mon," she said with a laugh.

"I'm not sure what I'm going to do about school. I might try finishing up out here, if that's possible."
