The Dan Mist-No one is Immune in Big Brother 14
|Wow. To borrow a phrase from one of my witty commenters, Debbiedo (thanks Debbie)….Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit. I mean, I think that says it all. Between last night’s Big Brother 14 Live Show and the following events, I–like Dani–am speechless…
The Dan mist. They need to figure out how to bottle it. I’m betting there are a lot of third-world dictators that would pay billions for the green, slimy substance that’s roiling around in that brain. Even Ian was digusted. And he got saved!
And yet–on the opposite side of that, is an evil genius so keen it’s frightening.
After Ian “fell” (though he later told Dan he threw it) Dan was able to talk Danielle into throwing the comp so easily, it was almost comical. You could literally see the Mist wrap around her with its long, tentacled fingers.
The look on Danielle’s face when Dan ruthlessly and with malice aforethought evicted the witless Shane will go down in the annals of some of the best moments in Big Brother history. We’ve said that a lot this season. But the thing is–it’s all true. Dan’s gameplay is without equal. I think Shane said it best….”Dan’s just a dirty player.” And yet again….wow.
But the question now is….What will the Jury think? Will they punish Dan–who will most definitely make it to F2, btw–no matter what kind of grumbling and scheming Danielle and Ian do together. They are both still playing Dan’s game, parroting the words he put in their mouths. Danielle will take him. Ian also, will pull out his Renegade card and unless something really bizarre happens…It’s almost in the Jury’s hands.
We’ll talk more about the Jury specifically later, once the next comp is done, but for now….I stand in awe.

I bet Dan will say he did everything to ensure that Danielle makes it to the final and wins. Does he play dirty or smart? Like Britney said, this is a game of strategy not morals or integrity. I think Dan deserves to win.
Yes… Dan is bloody brilliant!!
And I agree with Lisa. đ
totally agree Lisa
Ditto!!!!! đ
Dan is a dirty player, uses his bible. I hope he looses,
I agree. He has no morals and integrity. I am very upset he has brought the Holy Bible into this game.
I agree 100% Britt even said its a game… It doesnt say ok now everyone has to be honest and loyal to go to the end but the fact of the matter is that no matter what anyone says about Dan he has always stayed loyal to Dani, now obviously this is because he knows he can beat her in a final 2 and that she does everything he says but again its a game and he definitely deserves to win this more than anyone else
100% agree! I’ve said after the “funeral” – Dan is going to be the first time 2-time winner of BB. We’ll see soon.
It may be all you all say! As well as the fact he’s played the “BEST game” if that’s how you’ll wish to define it ! However, at some point good TV ,
good game strategy, and the desire to win at ALL cost must be weighed against the pain and carnage left in the march to the end !! Yes, each sign up knowing the others will do all it takes to win! But they do count on a modicum of honesty when asking about safety for being put up or back doored ! Used to the players would stick to their word on that deal for 1-2 weeks ! Now as soon as it’s off their lips it’s gone !! They promise on their families lives, now the Bible, and wedding rings. Nothing means zip ! After what happened to Shane the next group will be really spooked ! Who can you trust? You used to be able to trust that 1 person ! Now Fathet Dan’s messed that up!! Becsuse basiclly he has deals with them all! So it makes him little difference! And Dani basiclly called him out on it tonight ! She said you picked Ian because he’s best for your game ! Not my game! You didn’t care about me or my game! So now I’m in 3rd place !! Well hello Dani ! It nice you just woke up !! But I’m sure he’ll re-mist you and Ian before round 2 & 3 !! So party on Father Dan ! I’ll try to send Garth to you. He really can party on with you and can be in the mist very easily !!!
You can play the game smart with stategy and morals. Dan had Shane and Danielle word he would not be evicted and Ian was prepared to leave the Big House. Dan play dirty and does not deserve to win. I have much more respect for Ian and Danielle and they have much more higher morals. I would be very surprised if the Jury would vote for him because of his integrity, plus he has burned to many players with his lies/
OMG…never thought I would be quoting Boogie, but ” It’s Big Brother, you’re allowed to bounce checks” Dan’s master game plan has been brilliant..if you want to win, play smarter and ask for forgiveness later.
well you cant ask forgivness if you knowingly do something wrong. Expecially when it comes to greed.
well you cant ask forgivness if you knowingly do something wrong. Expecially when it comes to greed and lying
What’s brilliant about not counting jury votes? He’s a returning player who cannot count to 4. You need 4 votes to win BB and not 2. For crying out loud the revolting Dani wins over Dan. What the h e l l is briliant about that? Dan has a better shot at winning versus Ian IMO.
I think that Dan has played a crazy fantistic game, although I think his prime goal is to get Danielle to the final, either way he walks away with something, maybe he isn’t so dirty and he is just sticking to his word to Danielle about getting her to the end to win, I mean he was her coacha and he continues to coach her everyday!
I have to agree with Paige. I think that Dirty Dan will be the first 2 time champ!!!
I hope it get the $50,000 not the $500,000. I wonder if he comes back the 3rd time will anyone believe him.
After all the âmistingâ Dan has done, I âdidâ want him to lose the game, but now I am torn between how much I donât want Danielle to win (or F2) over how much I donât want the same for Dan. One of those 2 will be in the F2. Now it is down to the lesser of the 2 evils and being forced to take a step back and try to look at this from a âgameâ stand point over a âpersonalâ one, with a rather âsickâ heart I have to say that I would rather see Ian and Dan F2 over any other combination. Ian will win over either of them, so I guess I would rather see Dan taking second over Danielle. She has been nothing more than Danâs puppet and she âgaveâ Dan the power to boot out Shane, by talking Shane into one of the dumbest moves in the entire game, not saving himself when he had the power to do so.
I think she sealed her own fate with the jury votes. I donât think Shane is buying that she didnât know this was the âplanâ even âifâ it really wasnât âherâ plan or in on the plan. Ian âhasâ to win everything from this point on and I do think that Ian will take Dan over Danielle. So Ian, so many of us are sending you our support and Go Get âem Ian!
If it were so closely down to the wire I would stop watching BB due to Dan’s appalling words and actions. Someone who has the audacity to swear on The Bible, along with wedding rings and anything else, to not use someone for his own gain deserves all that the bad that can be sent his way. Sorry Dan but you are one of the worst hypocrites that I have ever seen on this program. Evil Dick was a saint next to your lying mouth!
I agree with you Larry. There has to be a time when these people put a limit on their lies and stop and think of the amount of people they reach on this show. Even the best coach in the world no matter how much he wanted to win would not compromise his morals to the extent that Dan has done. Any parent of a child he coaches should be horrified and very disappointed in his actions. Shame on you Dan.
I agree with you. Game or no game what does this say about Dan. What does this teach impressionable kids he coaches. Win! Win! Win! at what ever cost. Money! Money! Money! He can say ‘I am doing this for my Family’ My Opinion is Don’t blame them for your conduct. I’m definitely not a fan of his. Dirty Player is to mild of description.
I’m pretty sure he tells his students that it’s just a game for adults and he would never do anything bad outside the game. Give him some credit, I don’t think he would harm those minds, or bodies like the priests.
Well Kara, lots of people do love to call him Father Dan……..just sayin’:D Seriously he’s crossed the line in my book–and my book is definitely not the bible so don’t go thinking I’m some religious holier than thou type–but there’s lies and there’s lies. Dan knows no boundaries and has all the signs of being a well practiced liar and con-man. You don’t get that good at it overnight.
Touche’ đ
Come on, people. It’s a game of strategy, winner take all. It’s NOT a game of morals. Sheesh!
btw, morality is relative and everyone has a different idea of morality. So stop imposing your version on Dan. Morals have no place in this game.
Dan is not evil genius, he’s just pure genius. He has played an excellent game, and is far superior to any of the other houseguests in his strategy.
He deserves to win.
Look…I usually just post my opinion or perspective and let others post theres. However I am OVER being told to “STOP” by SOME of the Dan supporters.
You just got done saying morality is relative and everyone has a different idea.
So post your views and how you feel about Dan and quit trying to tell those of us who feel differently to “STOP” imposing our version.
PREESH!!!
I second that Kat! đ
I totally agree.
Apparently you believe pure genius includes a returning former champion who cannot count jury votes! ROFL Moron is far more likely.
On a serious note morality is not relative for TRUE Christains. You clearly are not one and are ignorant to the core values of christianity. The 10 commandments includes one which says you shall not lie. Dan = Fail. The 7 deadly sins includes greed. Dan= Fail. And the most important 4 words/sentence for true christains; What would Jesus do? Simply put morality itn’t relative at all if your a christain. Dan trotted out the religon card. He’s abused the very essence of what makes christianity a marvalous faith when practice with truth and integrity. It makes the lives of those around you better. The human dirtbag has left so many in the gutter like dirt on his shoe and toyed with Dani’s emotions to the point she may be an emotional cripple the rest of her life. Especailly if she gets not even 50K for 2nd. Combine that with sabotaging her relationship, imaginary or otherwise, with Shane is so morally bankrupt as to be beyond belief. This is one morally bankrupt, greedy, selfish subhuman piece of trash. Lots of luck to his wife. She must be a complete godless moron like Danielle. Apparently this “christain” apparently thinks Dan’s game play is just fine on thier web site. The Catholic church better start screening it’s employees alot better. My child would never go to any institution that employed this godless trash!!!
hey this is a game evey body that signed up to play read all the rules of the game they knew what they were getting in to i think dan just read the rules better this is not a game of freinds its big brother and evrey body thats whatch this show for the last 13 seasons should have a clue go Dan i hope the jury can get past their personal side the game dan shoul win no matter of is beside him at the end he just played that good and it pissed them off
You can play with integrity. He has not been loyal to anyone. Dan has made hand shakes. Brings the Bible in to the game. Be a MAN OF YOUR WORD. Lead by example. He did a handshake Shanon would be safe. Both Danielle and Shane game then thier word. Ian was prepared to leave Big Brother. Shane called it right he is a dirty player. And Brintey called him Judus. I could never turst this snake.
I just wish that every one would give Dan the credit he deserves. If he was not in this house the show would have not even been worth watching after Frank left. In the end he is going to prove that he is the best player and coach BB has ever had. He might not even win the $500,000 due to hard feelings, but he brilliant at playing this game.
Let’s agree to disagree. I just don’t think compared to Wil or Boogie or Danelle or Britney or Jordan or even Jeff that Dan was a good player. He got lucky.
Everyone hates Dan, blah, blah, blah. But he is a freaking genius at this game! Does everyone want him to be loyal and honest? That would make for an awfully boring game. So if everyone hates Dan and cannot stand Dani, then why r u all still watching? Yes, he swears on the bible and his wife, but to each their own, and obviously he don’t care about any of that. It might bother everyone else, but like I said, to each their own. Go Dan! Win it all!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dan has worked the huse with genius and it’s amazing to watch. He’s been the pied piper so to speak. Others have been clever at getting people to do their bidding; Boogie, Dr Will, etc & Rob M on Survivor. That’s the stategy of the game be the last remaining house guets. No reflection should be made on the person you are day to day. Recall Evel Dick, now who would want to live next to him if he was like that 24/7. It’s a game folks, he’s played hard, a great one, & I believe deserves to win.
Is dan a genius or is he playing with dimwits? I think the later. Yes, Dan will try anything and I give him credit for that. However you put this game play in most other seasons and all his swearing AT SOME POINT would have fell on deaf ears. Let me explain. We see in the live show (although the taped part) Shane says “Dan is a dirty player”, then not 10min later “you swear he will keep me safe” and without so much as an arguement, he AGREES to let Dani put him on the block. Having seen or known that Dan has “sworn” on everything before. Dani just had the so-called love of her life sent out the door in one of the biggest blindsides ever after asking Dan to swear on his wife. Then just a few hours later, when Dan asks her to throw the HOH…she says…”you swear on your wife” you will take me. I think Dan is getting way to much credit. Is he the best of the 3 left, yes…but that aint sayin much. However it is hard to feel bad for any of them getting taken advantage of by Dan. I felt a little sorry for Shane last night, he looked like he was going to cry AND THEN…he said “when I shake someones hand and give them my word”…that is when he lost me. Really dude, You sent the carrot home on your word and a hand shake…soooo…get to steppin. CYA! I AM NOT and Ian fan but feel like the other poster that is the least of the evils left in the house.
I agree. And they thought last season was bad.
Yep, now doesn’t Shelli look like a girl scout?
What’s the problem?
Dan IS playing brilliantly and I hope the jury sees this as it comes down to the end…
Watching BBAD is so important to understanding exactly what’s going on…don’t have time like me? I DVR it and watch it when I get home before watching the next episode. This way you see what they say, think, feel that you wouldn’t otherwise know.
Go Team Dan!!
I have been a fan since season 1. I subscribe to the live feeds every year. DVR BBAD. Belong to all the BB forums (this is my Favorite though) tweet…you name it. I feel I am a pretty informed viewer. I have a different opinion and see it differently…thats ok. If we all liked the same player…these forums would be boring..lol
I agree Kat and if all the players played the game the same way the show would be boring and that would be awful for television.
See two viewers on opposite sides can “kindly” agree to disagree and agree or something like that…lol đ đ
Go Dan–come on for real. Well you can say what you will or may, but that’s the way life is people get things by being evil. Very, very, very few people are honest in this world.
I don’t know if Dan played a good game. I would say an evil one and very manipulative. This game is how life is. If you let please manipulate you, soon or later, you will wake up–some do and some don’t. In this game, usually someone gets it but this time they didn’t get it until in the jury house. I know this is a game but Dan’s family probably thinking twice of his character. I know I would.
Dani’s face is priceless… somebody stick a corn cob in it now before it goes on to something else that’s not worth hearing… Dan sure didn’t make Big Brothers boring this year… The game is out of control and we love it….
That’s true, people love drama
Danielle decided she didn’t trust Shane. She’s a practiced liar, doing dirty work and reporting back to her “coach” for more instructions on becoming devilish.
They both be wise a serpents and innocent as vipers.
amen to people giving Dan some credit he works in a catholic school but he is not a father never claimed to be one and people do anything and everything they can to be last person standing it happens in all game reality shows and does not reflect on how he is outside of the house. It is a game and he is playing to win a half a million dollars and anyone out there would do what they had to to win it and play as dirty as they can he isn’t hurting anyone by doing anything he has done, it’s not a game of how many friends we have at the end go Dan go
I too agree that it is just a game, but as he is a coach to many young people who look up to him, unfortunetly he is held to a bit of a higher standard then the others. I personally would not want him in any way influencing my child either in sports or morals. I hope the parents of his players are watching and explaining to their children that money often changes people. He lies, both on the bible and other things sacred and then reads the bible before bed.. give me a break… but in the end how any of us feels about his play is irrelevant, as the only one who can judge him is God.. and the parents who refuse to allow him to coach their kids…..
In the BB house/game, yes, Dan has outplayed them all. But since there is more to life than that of the BB house, I think that some of them are in for a very rude wake up call once this game is over and they return to the âreal worldâ. Danielle is going to be devastated when she sees what all has been said about her. Most of the HGâs are going to be pretty surprised when they find out things that went on in the house that they werenât aware of. I think they will all be totally shocked to find out just how many lies were told, especially those from Danielle. I think Shane might just give ZingBots âzingâ about Danielle some serious thought when he finds out the truth, lol.
As for Dan, he may have made a name for himself with BB, but by making the BB honor roll he might possibly have destroyed his reputation in his ârealâ life. I just wonder if after the BB glow wears off if he will still think it was all worth it. Sometimes âwinning at all costsâ comes with a higher price than one is willing to pay. Guess that is a risk he was more than willing to take and any/all repercussions, guess he will try to âmistâ his way out of them as well.
Mary…this is not real life and I’m sure Dan’s reputation is not tarnished outside of BB…this is reality TV and a game and all the HG’s know this.
Not everyone is a BB fan, including parents of children that attend his school, other faculty members, board members and/or financial benefactors to the school. Those people that are not âfansâ may not see his behavior as being what they want/expect from those that represent the school and its value system. Not everyone is going to give him a separation âpassâ of game and real life, because regardless of what some people may see as he was just playing the game, bottom line is the message being sent to the kids, that it is alright to abandon your ethics/morals/integrity for a price and winning is all that matters, do anything/everything it takes to win at a âgameâ. If no one knew where he taught, that would be one thing, but since everyone knows where he teaches, he is basically representing the school. Not one of the better endorsements for a Catholic School, in my opinion.
Very well said, Mary Turner. Some, maybe not all, Catholic schools hold instructional personnel and coaches to a high standard. Values and moral ethics are an expectation for those who are “role models” for young impressionable students. I wonder if the school where Dan teaches is proud of him? Dan has mentioned the name of the school where he teaches many, many times. He even wears a school T shirt. If Boogie or Evil Dick were to swear on the Bible, no one would believe either of them. On the other hand Dan professes to be a religious person. He has his own Bible with him and on many occassions is shown reading the Bible.
I’ve often wondered if that Bible is just a “prop.”
Your a complete moron! He wouldn’t get within a mile of my children as an “educator! WWJD is not when it is convenient for TRUE christains. It is the question that defines or decisions as human beings on this earth. As you are clearly NOT a christain you do not understand true faith and spirituallity of our religion.
What I don’t understand when you signup for BB. They don’t watch the previous episodes. I would’ve seen how Dan. This give you an idea on how to play the game. I don’t understand. But I know they will (Shane, Ian, Danielle) go down as the dumbest players BB history.
How can you come into a house for 60 70 days ? Let a man you NEVER knew lead you around tell you what to do Danielle must be Dan;s sister She can;t be as stupid as she comes off! She makes women ashame Of her being so dumb And please don;t think people in the South are all that stupid ,,,DAnielle needs a keeper She hasn;t done one thing on her own Dan talks Danielle does what he saysDUMBEST woman ever seen!Hope Shanes NEVER has anything to do with her !What a weak woman And by time she get 40 Shes going be big woman!
Betty…you are right about the eating..the only negatives to this game are watching them stuff their faces and picking their faces and scratching their heads.
yeah, i think dani has fleas or something the way she keeps picking at her hair. needs a monkey. they like picking fleas off each other.
I dont think danielle is stupid. i think shes playing a game. i like her she may have played the way dan told her too but if you remeber dan was the couch and she just never got away from that. and that was no help from dan because he kept putting nonsince in her head all the time…he made sure noone else got to her. yes he played a good game but danielle has showed a good game as well even if it was under dans wing. shes a nice sweet girl who has lyed the whole game…shes a nurse not a school teacher. she came into this with a plan and i think she has fullfilled that plan. I think shane was the stupid one! i think ian or danille should win. ian because he out played two of the strongest people. danielle because she.played a game just not the way everyone wanted her too.
The sad part is they didn’t play their game. I don’t get why did they even come to the BB house. They just needed some backbone especially Dan throw this in their face and they still didn’t see it. Come on. After Britney left Shane just crumble and after Boogie left Frank was clueless. If they had use just half of their brain. Dan would not be in the F2. I don’t like it but it is what it is. Looking forward to the next season!
ROFL!!!….Danielles face will FOREVER go down as my all time favorite moment in BB history. And i’ve been a fan since season 1. I’ve seen some great reactions to blindsides before …but this one takes the cake!! Pardon my french, but HOW F*CKING DUMB do you have to be to put the person you want to STAY up on the block? If you know BB AT ALL, you know the pawn is NEVER safe. I laughed my way to bed last night…woke for a bit, laughed some more. Couldn’t eat breakfast for laughing. My side is sore from the laughter all night long. Can’t stop…can’t stop..LOLOLOLO….
Gotta say we had some pretty good/hard laughs ourselves last night. These 3 make it really hard to feel bad OR root for them.
You’re right. Its sad
If you go back a few weeks didn’t Danielle say she would vote out Shane?? Why so surprised if that’s what you were going to do…She is a real nitwit.
I agree but they took Dans word. Dans a snake and not a man of his word. Yes Shane and Danielle were stupid. If Danielle beleive any more in Dan she does not deserve to win. I hope Ian gets it!!!
Dan is great! He deserves the to win. Without a doubt the best player ever!!!! It is a game, you do what you have to to win. These other players are stupid, so Dan makes it look so easy. GO DAN!!!!!
Well you all can say what you want about Dan and say its just a game till you’re blue in the face but i will never change my opinion about Dan..The Man is Dirty..dispicable.heartless..and so and so and after what he pulled last night..He has to be from a different breed and not of this planet…These are real people playing this game..not robots or whatever Dan is ..REAL PEOPLE WITH REAL FEELING..and the fact that Dan can so easily turn off his emotions at the door..does and will always make me feel like he can do that in real life also..The man has said–he feels the best when pople are mad at him…how many of us can say that…He is a true Hypocrite if ever i’ve seen one….Working for a catholic school..yeah i am sure there are more people out there that think he is a genius but if just one person and i am sure there is more then 1 person other then myself(Which i have seen in comments here) that doesn’t think that then he is going have to face those kind of people outside of the house..DO you think everyone in Dearborn michigan thinks hes a genius..i would bet they don’t..My opinion stays the same–Dan is a dirty,,,dirty dispicable player.and a human like no other if indeed he is human–how can he be proud to show his game play to his children if he has some one day….game or no game people–these are real people he messes with,,i quess i am gonna root for Ian now….Like Janet said even he was disgusted by Dans actions..I just hope the jury does not reward Dan for his dispicable actions…GO IAN…
I totally agree with you. This is part of his character and yes believe me this goes outside of BB. This is Dan in real life. My regret is that he got this far and played everyone and fixing to get awarded either of the 2 prizes. If I was he wife. I wouldn’t trust nothing he said.
Thanks Rex…we can see thru the mist yes we can….
I think Dan is wasting his talents coaching High School football. He should be selling fake arms to overseas countries- “Oh don’t worry, we won’t use ours against you. These are the same thing.” hahahaha
And add “Trust me”.
I agree. He need to changed it to something better like a con artist–salesman. He is one of the ones that can sell ice to igloo.
Come on people…what should Dan have done..oh, i know, go up to the players and say, excuse me but I think I want to vote you out today, is that ok? It’s entertainment, if not you wouldn’t be watching it and writing about it. Without all the sneaky, underhanded, low stunts, you would not watch the show. sit back and enjoy!!!
He played his game. I’m just not happy the others ones played into and so dumb didn’t see it until they got in the jury house.
I love how the jury members are dissing Dan. It seems that the worse he/she is blindsided out of his/her shorts, the more evil/dirty he becomes. How about this – you lost, he’s still in the game and don’t try to tell me about honor and integrity. It’s hard to accept the truth, so why not slam him? Let me say it again … YOU lost, HE is still in the game. My goodness, even aside from the newbies being the lamest bunch ever, his moves have simply been brilliant. Enough already with the outrage over him swearing on his Bible, medal, etc.
Not to open a can of worms but, can you say for certain where your copy of your Bible even is in your house? It’s a game to give the average joe/josephine 15 minutes of fame. Enjoy the waning moments of your fame in the jury house. By Halloween, I will be hard pressed to even remember your name…
Dan is the devil and he will get what he deserves in this life or for sure in the next bt swearing on the bible. A few hail marys wont save him
Well they seem to have saved most of the catholic priests. At least dan is doing his dirt in a GAME and not preying on young innocent children and hiding behind the bible/church. These are grown people that choose to be blind and naive. So holy rollers keep on preaching!
OMG JO1 that was “epic”. You are so right. i’m still LMAO
I do not understand the viewers of BB who applaud Dan. He is not a smart player. He is a psychopathic manipulator. Psychological manipulation is a type of social influence that aims to change the perception or behavior of others through underhanded, deceptive, or even abusive tactics. By advancing the interests of the manipulator, often at the other’s expense, such methods could be considered exploitative, abusive, devious, and deceptive. They go for those that are too trusting such as Frank. the naive, Danielle, the immature, Ian, the narcissistic Shane and the greedy, Boogie. I believe that BB set up the various personalities as fodder for Dan to make this season more interesting. It would have been interesting to see what would have become of another one of their choices the masochistic, but they panicked and sent him home early. The sad part of this all is that Dan easily justifies his nature and truly believes what he does is only a game and he actually sells that to BB fans as well. But he wears a St Mary’s T shirt and talks about his working with kids. Well to Dan I say, “For what has a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Those who propagate Mary, she promises 15 rewards. But those that regard Her under false pretenses and dishonor fear eternal darkness.”
This is an entertainment television show. If its not entertaining to you, change the channel! Some of you are taking the ‘Reality Game Show’ way too seriously! Analyzing people you only know from a television show is ridiculous! You don’t know anything about their lives outside the house.
you must be a Charles Manson follower? It’s just a game/cult no biggie!ROFL
Seems like someone sent out a call for the Dan_Mist_Movement to come over here and try to spread the mist.
IT WONT WORK …I TELL YA…I WONT BE MISTED.
Everyone garner your mist protection gear!!! LOL
Amen sister and you better bring a suit of armor to go along with that..all i can say is the mist hasn’t worked on me yet ….and it is never going toooooo!!!!
đ đ đ
Come on people it is a game!! You dont see everything that happens in the house,,,how many other people do you think lied and back stabbed to get where they ‘were”? Please! Give it a rest with the dan bashing already. He knows the game and he played the game. Frank and Boogie were playing everyone and no one seemed to care then. Frank was just stupid enough to have jenn save Dan and went to the jury. Dumb Dani didnt use her small brain and think deeper into why Dan was wanting off the block when he would have been safe anyway. hmmm. Is it Dan’s fault that these people are so gullible??
I’ve been saying this all along. Some of these people are taking it way too seriously. If they didn’t do all the deceptive ploys then what good would this show be?? Boring, that’s about it.
Dan can get off a murder trial.
Maybe he should just kill Danielle!!! đ
As I said in a previous post!

Here it goes! Dan didnât play a pretty, moral or ethical gameâŚ..but he is playing to win the game! Brit said it best.
In the beginning I wanted a newbie to win, but as time goes by I think Dan deserves to win. I know, I know âbut heâs evilâ blah blah blahâŚ.We have already established that (in the game he is)and none of you know how he conducts himself outside of the game in REAL life. So leave it alone already and try to remember that this really is only a game and they are trying to win $. End of story. So in conclusion; I feel a little bad for the newbies but they have seen the pattern and know they have been duped yet they still keep going back for more!!! It doesnât take a rocket scientist to know that once someone dupes you like that, they will more than likely do it againâŚ.So go Dan!!!
TO those who keep saying we are taking it to seriously. Here is what I say…SAYS WHO? YOU?
Look I tell everyone in my life when July rolls around I am a BB addict. BB is my drug of choice, my guilty pleasure. I WONT BE ASHAMED! lol
As I said before I try to get every access I can. BBAD BBLF BBTWEET BBFORUM, you name it. I dont care what you say. This forum, getting emotional, having an opinion, bantering back and forth is what makes the show so addicting. No other show offers you this kind of access.
When September is over I go right back to being “normal”. I wait …for the next year.
If I dont like Dan or his game play…its my choice.
I am an informed “basher” lol.
I pay for the feeds, showtime after dark, invest the time reading the forums, do my fair share of tweets and sharing spoilers and information.
Not only do I not care for his style, I dont find him funny (which is the hg’s I like the most)in fact I find him somewhat boring. I think he didnt earn the money this time, I feel it was gift wrapped to him.
We could easily say, why are so many people making it their personal mission to defend him. IT’S NOT LIKE YOU KNOW HIM IRL….EITHER…LOL
just sayin ….:)
I think that what some people are forgetting is that yes, this is a television show, millions of people are watching the HGâs every action. Each and every thing they say/do, both good and bad, is out there for all to see. All of which IS going to have some type of impact on their lives outside the house, like it or not. We did not know any of these people before BB, so that means that what they show âusâ all in BB, will be, in most cases, the âonlyâ impression of them we will ever have.
Susan Lucci, who played Erica Kane on All My Children, used to get attacked in public because of the character she âplayedâ on TV, even though she was nothing like it in real life. That is one of the main differences with BB, the HGâs are playing âthemselvesâ as âthemselvesâ on national TV. Very few, if any, of them are doing anything that they arenât/werenât capable of doing for a price. Most people do have a line they would never cross, so for me, anyone that would cross those lines for a game, would do it again in âreal lifeâ if the price was right. To say that we donât really âknowâ any of them isnât exactly correct.
With the live feeds, we are privy to almost everything and even know more than the rest of the HGâs know is going on. To say that what we see of these people is not an accurate assessment of who they really are is partly true. But since what we do see is mostly the âdarkerâ side of them, I donât think anyone would believe that this âsideâ only manifested in/for BB. There have been/are many HGâs that have refused to cross the line, even if it meant losing the game. Then there are those like Dan of which there just isnât a line low enough that he would not cross to win.
It might be the HG like Dan who take it to seriously, …just a thought.
If you think about how he acted in the moments when tested.
The Pandoras comp./Veto, where he was acting crazy.
When he told Ian he would rip his face off.
When he had a meeting and called it a funeral.
When he said in a diary there are only 3 things I care about …My wife, My family and Big Brother (noted: he didnt mention Jesus…just sayin).
When he was playing with the fragile phsychi of Danielle and pushing her towards a boy that didnt return her affections
Perhaps we should be saying..ITS JUST A GAME DAN…DONT SELL YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL!!
heehee…just a thought đ
I like it Kat!!
Kat, don’t you think that’s what makes him a good player?? I don’t know how far I would go for half a mill. Maybe not as far as him, but that’s him. He may go back to “normal” after this is all over?? đ
Your right and I hope so. I have often wondered what sort of player I would be. Most of us would like to think we would be a “Jordan” but you never know.
I hope he does go back to normal. I mean any player that has ever been on BB that has “used” the Bible as part of their game play has just rubbed me wrong…that is just my own personal thing. Had he not done that..ehhh…it might have been a little easier to root for him.
Honestly I just dont find him that entertaining and when he gets that wild look in his eye and just starts acting …frankly…a little insane…it just seems like he has gone a little to far for my taste.
That being said…I didnt care for Shellys game play or some of Evel Dicks antics. I guess that says something about me…lol.
I love good strategy and game play…I just prefer Jeff and Franks style…thats just me.
kat— ditto!!!
Kat, he had that crazed, wide eyed look last night on BBAD while he was eating his pizza.
kat, you rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is the best thing I have read here all summer.
ha ha thank you Giz!
Kaye I SAW THAT!! I was scurrrred….lol
One other thing is if I did know Dan before BB, after all he has done in this season, I might find myself questioning whether or not I truly ever did know the ârealâ Dan. Was he âmistingâ me whenâŚâŚ Was he being truthful whenâŚ. When he said âtrust meâ and I did, should I have? When you have always trusted someone, never felt there was any reason not to, to witness what that person really is capable of when motivated, especially when it is so contrary to everything we knew/believed, it is human nature to believe what we see over what we hear and/or think we know.
Gonna weigh in here– though you guys are just rocking this forum.. I LOVE IT!
On the matter of the Jury House. The footage they showed was only a couple of hours after Frank had been evicted. So- his betrayal and bitterness was still raw. I think he will mellow,with some rest, alcohol (and most likely, a little lovin from Ashely) In a day or two I’m going to post my detailed Jury Predictions, but I believe in the end, Frank–as a life-long BB fan–will end up voting for Dan.
(let the screaming opposition to that commence- :)-but if you want to wait on the Jury Post- we can debate all the voting strategies)
As for the depth of Dan’s depravity. I gotta fall down on the “it’s a game” side. Sure, he took it way, way, WAAYYY too far. And in any future Good vs Evil Seasons that may come up, Dan will undoubtedly be sitting next to the little red guy with a forked tail and pitchfork (and I don’t mean Evel Dick)BUT.. BUT.. You can’t argue with the fact that the dude has OWNED this game since he set foot inside the door. I mean, he went from being the weakest coach-with only one, measly whimpering little player left–to basically bending the rest of the cast over and giving it to them up the you-know-what…Was it dirty? Absolutely. But DAMN it was fun to watch. And that’s kind of the whole point here,isn’t it?
Don’t freak out-you lovely people who can’t stomach what Dan did and believe he’d do the same in real life. I don’t completely disagree with you..
Dan’s a football coach. To them–winning isn’t just for glory, there is money…a job…involved. Now, I’ve heard of certain dirty football coaches who–when their team is in trouble, and there is a particularly good player on the other team just racking up points–that won’t hesitate to send a thug out on the field to enable said player. Do I believe Dan would do this, if it took away a threat to his family, his job and it meant his team would win? Absolutely I do..
But I don’t watch Dan in Real Life (LOL!!) I watch him on Big Brother.
I give you âpropsâ for suggesting that Frank would be able to cast his vote for Dan, that he would be able to put aside his personal feelings of betrayal, but I think that if Dan is sitting next to either of them in the F2, Frank will definitely give Ian his vote, and consider Danielle the lesser of the two evils over Dan. I think the âsecond â time for Dan will also play a part in his decision, but I think it is going to take much longer than a week before Danâs sting goes away for Frank.
Janet altho i value your opinion..and love this site and everything you do for us –i got weigh in alittle bit on this… My son is a head baseball coach and a teacher–and with that comes the role model position–you know when you take the job..and i guarantee that one of those kids dan is coaching or his parents will not see Dan as a Role model–When you are a coach the role model never leaves you on the field or your personal life because what you do will be judged..You are the coach you should know better and set the example at all times for those kids–Even going on to a game show–you can’t check your role model position at the door–it just doesn’t work that way–believe me i know–i’ve seen it first hand with my son..Once you take on that position –it is there with you till you leave it..YOU HAVE TO BE A ROLE MODEL AT ALL TIMES,, it just comes with the territory…
Susan…as always i respect your opinion. And i totally love the fact that you stick to your convictions. But i’m just throwing this out there to see if it flies…not saying i believe it but just wonder how you would see it. First of all…anyone that lets their kids watch this type of reality show has some explaining to do…to their children. There’s some sexuality associated with the show (shomances and undercover dealings). Wouldn’t you want to be a responsible enough parent to explain to your child the difference between reality and a game show? And that no one should be using a game show contestant as a role model or ANYONE on tv for that matter. Secondly..and i truly think this is a good idea…If i were a teacher..i would use this show as a teaching tool. Classroom discussions about morality would become very interesting and informative. I wouldn’t be surprised if Dan did just that. Not saying i agree with his tactics but just saying this would be a great excuse for parents and teachers to get a discussion going with their kids.
Cat –yes i agree with you that nobody should be using a game show contestant as a role model–but all i am saying is if you take on a position of a role model ..it doesn’t leave you–mo matter where you are –on the field,,going to the grocery,,stepping out to a movie..being on a game show.. Don’t you think–People may say about dan –Look what hes doing–isn’t he suppose to be a role model..i know because i have seen it first hand with son–you can not go anywhere without being judged on how you do things ….He can’t stop at an icehouse and buy a beer..if one of those kids sees him do it they will think its okay becasue coach does it.. thats all i am saying..The role model position never leaves you once you take it on…
So Janet, what you are saying is that Dan would tell his player to “Sweep The Leg ” of the Karate Kid? đ
Dan is brillant and the fact that he played everyone and now their upset is sour grapes on their part. I think that after enough time they will get over it and vote him the winner if he makes it to the final. Shane in his own way was playing Danielle, because I don’t think he sees her as more than a friend at most. I didn’t see any passion in those kisses! I wouldn’t personally swear on my family or the bible, but I haven’t laughed so hard since Johnny whats his face said his grandma died on Survivor! Best season of Big Brother ever!
Oh and I do not think Ian was disgusted by Dan voting Shane out, I think he was in shock that he was still there!
true
Wouldn’t it be nice if Ian and Danielle goes to F2. Just hoping!
That would certainly be an interesting turn of events..and UNEXPECTED
Dan will have to win the final HOH to be in the final two. I don’t think Ian or Danielle will take him at the end. They can’t win first place if he goes to the final with either of them. Dan played the best game. The last HOH is usually not endurance but memory. Ian will probably win it. I think they will take Danielle and she will come in second, because really, what has she done to stand out! Unless of course Dan starts crying and comes up with a new story to sway her. It just might happen!!
Honestly…i only worry about what is in MY heart…not Dans. Would i play the game as he does?…probably not. It’s up to him what strategy he follows. I’m only here to see if it works. I can’t cast a vote on whether he’s sincere or insincere about his religious beliefs. I’m not good enough to take over Gods job.
I should add that i respect ALL of your opinions whether i agree or not.
Yes Cat and that’s what makes this the best BB bantering site around. We all have our opinions, beliefs and views and can express them here with friendly banter. Love this site and you are all great! đ
*CLAP* *CLAP*
I really like this site because everybody seems to respect all opinions. I wish I’d found it earlier in the season.
*CLAP*
I honestly want Dan to win. He played the best game. I couldn’t have played like him, but in the end I don’t think he is a bad guy. It is entertainment. My husband hates Dan now because of how he played. We will just have to wait and see what happens!
He didn’t play a good game he played a manipulative/evil game. By all means it wasn’t good. Do you call that good when you cut throats, swearing, and lying?
If this BB makes you that upset, why not turn it off??
Dan did not play a good game as I’ve posted elsewhere. He got lucky that Frank made a horrible game move. If your whole game depends on one move, even if you’re lucky enough to win, it does not make you a good game player.
How you see game play and opinions are definitely subjective and personal. At least you know if Dan makes it to the final two, all the people he manipulated and backstabbed will be his judge and jury. They have the final say in how he played the game. So that should make all the Dan haters out there feel better.
Good point Vickie.
Maybe it says as much about those watching the game as those playing the game to not find anything wrong with someone doing anything it takes to win. To not feel that there are some lines a person shouldnât cross, to âcreditâ a person for making a good game move for doing something that should be considered âout of lineâ under any circumstances. Wanting to see a person âwinâ because they were more ruthless, despicable, underhanded and showed a total lack of ethics/morals and were able to fool/use everyone else by preying on each of their vulnerabilities.
Dan and Ian were playing chess one night, several weeks ago. When Ian turned to look at something going on, Dan reached over and took one of Ianâs pieces off the board. Britney and a few others were in the HOH and saw it happen. They laughed and thought it was funny, but it was what it was, plain and simple, cheating. That said a lot in my opinion, about who Dan was then and who he is now and that is who Dan is in real life.
I don’t have BBAD Mary so thanks for posting about Dan’s gameplay at chess. It’s one more point of validation as to my assessment of his character. You can’t suddenly become a genius liar, cheat and con-man just by stepping foot in the BB house–it takes years of practic–and I too believe Dan must be like that in real life. I’ll take it one step further by saying that, in MY opinion, anyone who applauds his actions are probably of the same ilk.
Agrred!!!
Mary…I like watching murder mysteries and prison shows but I know I would not go out and kill someone. I don’t think because I want Dan to win that makes me a bad person or a cheat. Lighten up and stop analyzing. Just enjoy the show, and I do respect your opinion.
Also, how about when Boogie and Frank cheated with the POV???? Just saying.
I have heard all the houseguest on this season and previous seasons try to cheat. The quack pack discussed several times pre-determined numbers that they would guess in a tie breaker. They made attempts to talk to eachother during the comp. I remember specifically seeing Dani try to lean over to Ian in the HOH showdown a couple weeks ago. Just like in Boogies and Franks attempt most of the time it doesnt work…but they all try it.
Kara, I like watching those kind of shows also, but I also do not give a criminal âpropsâ for they way they committed the crime. I never said or implied that you or others are bad people or cheats for backing Dan, I just think that when we commend a person for things that we normally would not approve of just because it is done in the course of playing a game, well, I guess I for me personally, there is a limit to what I consider to be good game play and what is not.
As for âlighten up and stop analyzingâ well, I am not upset or stressing over this and since the majority of us here are using this forum to share each of our thoughts/analysis of the game and players, and we agree with some, disagree with others, I find it interesting to read other peoples take on the season. So with all due respect, I do not think I will be stopping my analysis of the game and apologize if you feel I have offended you or anyone else in any way, that was not my intention.
Thank you and I’m sorry if I came across so crass…Peace!!!!
I do not subcribe to the live feed so I only see what is on TV. That is definitely something that I find disturbing. I like Ian. I would never enter this game as a player for the reasons you just mentioned. I think you have to have a thick skin and not take things personaly. Ian lied to Frank, Danielle from what I hear was planning on backstabbing Dan. Everybody in this game has done their share of dishonest things. No, I would never swear on my loved ones lives or the bible. I could not do that. But like I said, I never would go on this show. To me it is not real life, but a game.
You know going in it is not going to be a slumber party. But doing that to Ian was wrong and not part of his game play. That does say alot about him as a person as well as all those who laughed and thought it was funny. Thank you for sharing that.
Vickie..if you did get BBAD on Showtime you would be shocked at what you hear. Shane, captain america, had a filthy mouth..cursed all the time especially when playing a game. He used words such as “fudge packer” and whore. Ian cursed his head off and Danielle, when not eating and popping pimples talked about all the girls on BB, and not nice either. Last night she dropped a few F bombs too.
Dan should win. Frank shoulda won but he has my vote for America’s Fav player. Get over what dan has done to get where he is in this GAME. This is not real life and his tatics are genius. I love Dan!!!!
I just have to say it bothers me more to watch the news every night than to see underhanded dealings on a game show. People using religion for their benefit happens every day…and on a much, much larger scale than what Dan did. Once again…i’m not saying he’s right or wrong. Just that you have to put things in perspective in the larger scheme of life.
This is a game! Who can honestly say they have never told a lie? Dan had a job! His goal was to get his “team” to the finals. Yes, Dan is a player. Yes he lied. Yes he is doing his job. GET real people. If I ever needed some one on my side please let me have someone like Dan other than the people who condem. You go Dan! Quite acting like you are all better than everybody else. I really think people are jealous because they can’t think that fast on their feet. May the “MIST” be with you!
Dan is not a good player, I don’t understand why people think he is. He was not flexible, he just lied to everybody. Dr. Will played a much better ‘evil’ game. Dan is not a genius. He just had to fool one person, Frank, and fortunately for him he was surrounded by gullible people with father issues. Britney saw through him too late. But Shane, Danielle, Ian, Jenn–all are too gullible to see through him. Despite Jenn looking like a tough chick. This season is not about genius Dan, it’s about gullible Frank and his one big mistake (as Britney inferred to him in the jury house, a point he really doesn’t want to accept, understandably.
I’m sorry I have not seen Dr Will yet this season. Get over it it’s a GAME!
I still think Dan played a brillant game and should win if he makes it to the final. He will go down in BB history as being one of the best players ever when it comes to getting to the end of the game. All I can say is that if you go on this type of show you cannot expect not be backstabbed,manipulated and lied to. It always amazes me how people trust each other only to be voted out. If you watch the show you know what is going to happen. It is interesting to hear about what happens when they are just sitting around and not being on the air. Wow!! I had no idea.
Dan keeps telling Dani that he’s her coach and is going to get her to the end. No he’s NOT your coach anymore, Dani, since the coaches are playing for themselves. She doesn’t seem to get that or not thinking that statement through. He’s playing for himself Danielle and if he so chooses he’ll hand you another cup of that koolaid he’s peddaling or mist you, especially if he thinks the jury will vote to give you the money. So, wakey,wakey & team up with Ian. She will be just as blindsided as Shane; or Ian will be just as blindsided as Shane. Doesn’t matter, Dan is in charge.
One last thing, if this is a reality game, then does Dan act like that in real life? I think he is just plain greedy. When he’s in the diary room saying he’s doing this for his family. Really? You have already won 1/2 mil once, wrote 3 books. Your wife and yourself cannot live on that. I think he wants to reach the audience via TV and give us a mist spray or two OR drink the koolaid.
DAN, no one gets to the end of his life and says, Lord, I wish I would have screwed or backstabbed more people in my life.
Kara,
I’m curious, was there anyone behind the scenes who wasn’t cheating, pimple poping, gossiping and being foulmouthed. What was Frank like? Man on TV they seem so different.
Well I am a Frank fan, he too would get caught up in HG bashing. Foul language for sure. Often times though he apologized to the viewers for it and his Nana…lol.
Even his brag-a-dosha got a little hard to tolerate there at the end.
He is still my AMERICA FAV đ
One thing I loved loved loved about Frank and Boogie they were always considerate of the viewers , and especially the live feeders. When everyone else was sleeping they would always talk to us and keep us company…waaaa….I miss that..lol
I really miss the morning Frank and Boogie show too. They not only gave insight into what they were thinking, but gave us insight into the âmoodâ of the house. We âlive feedersâ only get Danielle loudly eating, her obsessive mirror gazing or somebody sleeping now. Way boring live feeds now. đ
I’m in NO way a Boogie fan. I did love Franks comp play…excellent. I don’t care WHICH hg it is, i love hearing what’s going on deep in their grey matter. Even hg whose strategy i don’t like, i can still appreciate them letting us in on it. All of them perceive things differently so it’s interesting to compare views. I wish they would do more of it.
Frank was with Boogie, and they hated everyone. Talked behind their backs and wanted to get them all out one at a time. Frank screamed a few times at Ian and Dan and cursed his entire way through the show. He bragged that he was the best player in BB history and that he was going to make it to the end. Even planned on how to spend the half mill.
There werenât any âsaintsâ in the house that is a fact. Some, however, were worse than others. I disagree that Frank and Boogie hated everyone or for that matter, hated anyone really. Yes Frank did lose it at Ian and Dan, one time was, when during the DE, Ian didnât vote for Boogie (which was a very bad move, advised by Dan, because that totally outed Ian as not to be trusted) and then lied to Frankâs face, put him on the block, Frank won the POV, then put up Ashley, getting her booted out. Yes, Frank was boiling hot but directed most of his wrath at Dan and the rest of the HGâs for âtaking advantage of Ian/using Ianâ so basically Frank was still âdefendingâ Ian, blaming the others for using him to do their dirty work. Frank even went to Ian and wanted to wipe the slate clean and go from there.
The big Frank/Ian blow out was over Britney being put up and booted out. But to each of their credits, they both did apologize afterwards to each other. As for âcursingâ I think that Ian is very high in the running on that score, so lets not tilt the scales towards Frank, his âmouthâ wasnât any worse than over half of the HGâs this season.
I have searched many times for where Frank ever said that he was âthe best player in BB historyâ and still cannot find a time that he said this. But I have found where âothersâ have accused him of saying this, mostly Danielle. This appears to me to be just one more of her fabrications/misinterpretations of something benign Frank said, and she ran around telling people âI swear, this is what Frank said to meâ when in truth, he never said anything even remotely like it.
As far as âhe was going to make it to the end. Even planned on how to spend the half milâ Well, geeezzz, name me one of the HGâs that wasnât there to âmake it to the endâ (nothing wrong with positive thinking) and does anyone think that each of them didnât have a plan on how they would spend the $$?
Frankâs frustration did grow each week from the lies/blindsides/having to play for his life every single week, but I give him credit due, he took it all way better than many of them did/would. Britney acted like a spoiled brat, hysterically crying, throwing a temper tantrum when she got put up once. Frank took it very well, kept a good attitude and continued to fight to stay, all the way up to the end. I know for a fact I would not have taken it half as well as he did, and I seriously doubt anyone else in that house would have taken it as well if they had been put through what Frank was.
Everyone talked about others behind their backs and there were a lot of not so nice things/names said from/about all. Jani/Brit/Danielle constantly called Frank a âdouche bagâ and they constantly said âI hate Frankâ, but I donât recall Frank ever saying that he âhatedâ anyone. There were a lot of haters in that house, Frank wasnât in that âgroupâ however.
Mary turner, thank you for your defense of Frank. Everyone who dislikes him, dislikes him because he was a good physical player who won many many comps. In the big picture of lies told and cursing, Frank was not the biggest offender in either category.
At least one out of every 3 conversations, regardless of initial topic(s), somehow someone finds a way to relate it to Frank, Favorite pastime is âFrank bashingâ comparing themselves to Frank, trying to convince each other how much better they have played than Frank, but if they really believed this to be true, why do they feel they have to keep pointing it out to each other?
I have also noticed that they seem to be having a difficult time with the âtruth/factsâ when they discuss Frank related events in the house. (selective memories perhaps?) According to the remaining HGâs, not only was Frank a lousy player, no social game, but he was not instrumental, helpful or a part of any of the âgood movesâ or âbig decisionsâ that âtheyâ made, and that he tried to take credit for what âtheyâ did. (guess when they said thank you Frank, they really meant âtell us thank you Frankâ) Preeesh! LOL
If they really believed what they are saying about Frank was actually true, there wouldnât be any reason to talk about him. But since they know he did not deserve to be stabbed in the back and that had they played it straight with him, he would have with them, they have to do anything/everything they can to relieve their guilty consciences. So they do what many guilty people do, blame the victimâŚâŚ.(always fall back on your strengths, lol)
I think they need to add in one last twist, reset the game and bring everyone in jury back into the house and have a âwinner take allâ round of compsâŚ.
