		<description>Derek does spend time with his dad.  Just this time last year, he was with his dad.  Also he spent the summer with his family and dad.  Derek also sadi his dad comes out to visit him a lot.  Who knows.  Derek has a big family but I would not read too much into him spending Christmas in NYC.</description>

		<description>Maybe he has family there. I know Derek has a huge family, so I guess they&#039;re bound to be spread out all over the country. I&#039;m kind of jealous of Derek right now. I would LOVE to visit New York during the holidays. It looks so beautiful.</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t say there was something definitely wrong with Derek&#039;s relationship with his dad and that side of the family. It was mostly speculation. I just thought it was strange he was going to New York instead of visiting his dad in Utah, who he doesn&#039;t see much of. Since I really don&#039;t know what he&#039;s doing in NY, he could just be meeting his family there or simply visiting Shannon. 

And I said Emily&#039;s tweets and myspace. She had a myspace blog announcing BHB was parting ways with Dan, but still said something about him being her friend. Dan also commented on the post. 

During that same time she kept tweeting on twitter about how upset she was and she didn&#039;t understand why some people changed. Many people didn&#039;t know who she was talking about, but I kind of thought she meant Derek and Mark because the thing was going on with Dan at that time and she seemed very close to Dan while the distance with her, Derek, and Mark seemed to grow. 

That was just Emily&#039;s POV. I&#039;m sure Mark and Derek have their own side of the story. And maybe Emily could have been upset over something else, I was just looking at the timing of it and the fact that when she had live chats on UStream she ignores the questions about if BHB has broken up and personal stuff about if she talks to Derek and Mark. 

It&#039;s just how I perceived things...</description>

		<description>Sorry! Helio&#039;s to a racecar as I am to a keyboard (as in I can go fast on a keyboard like he does in a racecar, especially if I know what I&#039;m gonna type) lol! I know that nothing&#039;s certain, but like I said. I&#039;ve dealt with enough &quot;changed&quot; people in my life and to see D of all people end up like that would be really depressing to me. I never think badly of him and only when I read the stupid DWTS message board on abc.com would the possibility of him being bad in any way would EVER cross my mind (but I choose to ignore those accusations haters make). All we can really do is hope that things are fine.</description>

		<description>Take it easy, girl. :-)  No one knows what&#039;s going on, that was just one person&#039;s speculation.  I&#039;m sure their relationship is fine.

As for what Emily may or may not have said - well, just because someone says something doesn&#039;t automatically make it true. If Emily said that, what makes her word good?  Not saying it&#039;s NOT, just that everyone has their own perspective - but they aren&#039;t automatically RIGHT.

As for people changing, in general - it can often be called growing up.  It happens - it doesn&#039;t have to be negative.</description>

		<description>I always thought Derek and Jules had a good relationship with their dad and stepmom! They both follow him on twitter and a while ago Derek was at (I think) a breast cancer charity event and how he was supporting his stepmom (who I think currently has it or is a survivor). I didn&#039;t sound like there was anything wrong.

Also where did Emily say on myspace that people are changing??? I just checked and her most recent blog was back in June. If that&#039;s true that the guys are changing (which I understand; I&#039;ve had ex-friends who&#039;ve been that way), that&#039;d be severely disappointing to me. Now not to offend any HUGE Mark fans here (I am a fan definitely, but not as much as I use to be), but I can understand if people think he has with all the Sabrina and Joanna P. stuff going on, but we can&#039;t say for sure. As for Derek, he seems EXACTLY the same way he was when we first saw him (again, we can&#039;t say for sure, but that&#039;s just from my observation). Again, what a shame if they have taken a turn for the worst...but I am optimistic at the moment!</description>

		<description>How is your mod search going? I think it will be great to finally have a board for just Derek. I&#039;m always speculating aobut something, but don&#039;t have any Derek fans to talk to about it. 

Yeah Dan definitely has to do something with it because Emily posted some myspace blog and tweeted about people changing and being upset. I&#039;m confused how she can like Dan so much. The guy seems like an idiot to me. 

Maybe Derek&#039;s family is getting together in NYC if he&#039;s not just with Shannon. They all were in Nashville (probably because of Marabeth), so maybe they changed the venue...</description>

		<description>The message board isn&#039;t officially open yet. I&#039;m glad someone finally noticed that the link now works though. :-)  I need a moderator or two before I open it officially.

I think you&#039;re right about Emily, for what it&#039;s worth. That&#039;s always been my suspicion. We may also be wrong about Derek and Shannon - Shannon just tweeted that a girlfriend of hers from Canada is there with her. Maybe it&#039;s all three of them - who knows?</description>

		<description>I just noticed this site has a message board. Why doesn&#039;t anyone ever use it? I can think of major boards for Julianne and Mark, but none for Derek.</description>
