Well, that just happened. Dan managed to crawl his way into the final three on Big Brother by double-crossing a clueless Shane and Danielle with a move some (not I) are ready to call “the greatest in Big Brother history.” You know? Like Dan’s funeral ploy was “the greatest in Big Brother history a couple of weeks ago. While I haven’t been “misted” by anything Dan has casted on the Big Brother house and the viewing audience, the fact remains that he’s in the final three, meaning Danielle and Ian are in some serious trouble.
The night started with a recording of the HOH competition that took place after Jenn was evicted last night. Danielle eventually won the competition, sealing her spot in the final three. Meanwhile, Dan immediately started to scheme on how to spin Dani’s win his way, and even though he still ended up on the block. Danielle also won the POV, which is where everyone began to crap their pants due to Dan’s plans for Danielle’s Veto win.
Danielle’s target was Ian, who she thought was Dan’s target as well, but the Gollum looking football coach had other plans and talked Danielle into using the Veto to save him and put Shane on the block. Without using enough common sense to ask why she needs to do this when Shane is gung ho on evicting Ian, Danielle blindly followed Dan’s “advice” and talked Shane into trusting her and Dan about this move. Again, neither one had the morsel of a thought to go, “Hmmm. This doesn’t make sense for our game. What is Dan up to?” Then there is Dan’s track record, which should have been clue #1,000,000th.
At the Veto Ceremony, Danielle went through her plan to use the Veto after listening to both Ian and Dan’s pleas. While Ian gave his speech, Danielle looked as if she couldn’t hold her laughter at the guy, who she was sure as a baboon’s ass is pink was going home. After replacing Dan with Shane, Danielle watched in complete horror as Dan sent her loverboy packing. I’m sure her facial expression will be meme’d to the max for years to come, because it is that memorable. Shane, clearly shell-shocked, gave Danielle a big hug before hightailing it out the house, knocking away Dan’s hug in the process. During Shane’s exit interview with Julie Chen, he claimed he didn’t have a choice in going with Danielle’s plan, but contrary to popular belief, he really didn’t whether he lied about it or not. If he told Danielle “Hell no I’m not down with this B.S.!” she still would have nominated him or face the wrath of Dan, a choice that I would have lived with proudly if I were in her shoes.
But here’s the thing: was this really a huge move on Dan’s part? Two words: Hell. No.
If Dan made any big moves this year, it was his ‘funeral’ scheme, which was a genius move
through and through. Shady, but genius. What went down tonight was the equivalent of a 
grown man snatching a pacifier out of helpless baby’s mouth, or Goliath smacking David around senseless. Dan’s played the game before and has won it, so he knows how to play. That’s nothing new at all. Ian, however, managed to take out Mike Boogie, co-founder of the greatest alliance in Big Brother history and winner of Big Brother: All-Stars. In my opinion, that trumps anything Dan has done this season by far, even that faux funeral of his. Dan’s manipulation of the house is another example of a same script, different jackasses scenario, while Ian’s plan to take Boogie out was unexpected from all aspects of the game, mainly because he actually pulled it off.
Now on to the Jury House, which should have been checked in on about a week ago, but due to scheduling and the Coaches coming into the game, we have only begun seeing the drama unfold there. Ashley had turned the place into a zen atmosphere, complete with dream boards and… dream boards. However, after Britney and Frank showed up, the fung shui of the Big Brother house manifested itself in Ashley’s serene atmosphere rather quickly. After Frank, who Britney predicted to arrive next, made his way into the house, the talk immediately went to Frank’s blind side vote, which prompted Britney to mention that Dan will win this game hands down. Frank, who was still bitter as hell, claimed that Dan didn’t play with honor and therefore should not be crowned with the $500,000 prize. Britney remarked that Frank did the same thing by nomination her when he said he wouldn’t, which is sort of true, because Frank was still playing Mike Boogie’s game, letting Dan weasel his way out of a another corner. Bottom line: while I don’t care for Dan at all, Frank was clearly being a spoiled sport in the matter. Again.
After Joe showed up, Britney and Frank’s argument intensified after Frank brought up Dan swearing a lie on the Bible, which he didn’t take kindly to. I would also like to note here that other Big Brother HGs, such as BB12 winner Hayden, have said that they wouldn’t have stoop to swearing on the Bible to win the game. Anyway, Britney said that there wasn’t any rules on how to play the game, which prompted Frank to counter if she cheated on her husband and didn’t get caught wouldn’t it still be cheating. Um, what?! For that comment, Frank, here’s a seat for you to sit in and just shut up.
That was tonight’s redunkilous Big Brother episode, which sets the stage for the craziness to come in the next week. Are you happy about the final three? If not, please let us know. Don’t hesitate to show your feelings, just be respectable of others.

Come on now to convince dani to take him down when se new shane would vote ian out was a genius move
But Dan convincing Danielle to do something has been done all season long. It’s just this time the sacrificial lamb was Shane.
Aside from your obvious hate on for Dan you have to admit that he has simply outplayed everyone in the house this year. And he did it on his own. But for Dr. Will, do you really think Boogie would have won Allstars? The only reason Will didn’t was because no one wanted to give him a second title. I thought Will was the best player in history, but after watching Dan this year, I would say they are 1 and 1A. Boogie is a punk. That’s of course if you actually believe that BB is completely unscripted. And I guess you are also a Russel Hantz hater. Whether you like him personally or not, his first season of survivor was a work of art. He should have one.
I don’t watch Survivor, but I did hear of Russell Hantz’s ‘controversial’ loss, which was overblown hype. Just as Britney and many Big Brother fans (and since you brought up Survivor, its case as well) have said that there are no rules on how you play the game, there aren’t any rules on who “should” actually win the game based on game play, either, which is all opinion based anyway. There have been plenty of Big Brother winners who won and didn’t get any blood on their hands as there are losers who cleaned house.
It’s funny how so many Big Brother fans will always remember BB3’s Marcellas’s screw up, but don’t remember how he got in that position in the first place. Danielle from that season and her cohort Jason not only convinced that man he wasn’t going home, but they also were responsible for most of the backstabbing and double dealing in the house that year. Yet, Danielle made it to the final two and loss to innocent Lisa.
As for Dr. Will and Mike Boogie, there would be no Dan if there wasn’t Dr. Will. And if Boogie was still in that house, Dan would have been long gone, because you can’t B.S. a B.S.er. Which is why it’s amazing that Mike Boogie was taken out by Ian. Yes, Mike Boogie had Frank doing all of his dirty work, but that was his third time in the house and a newbie took him out. Janelle and Britney were taken out by other past BB players, but Mike was taken out by a newbie. That’s why I feel Ian should be given the credit he deserves.
Dan’s game play is very simple: abuse trust. There is really nothing respectable about it. At this point I’m a little on the fence as to whether or not it is TOTALLY scripted at this point, because the setup for Shane’s eviction was just too well set up.
Thank you!! You are the 1st person I have seen calling Shane & Danielle out on this. Everything thinks it was a genious move by Dan, but none of it would have worked if Danielle had the sense to question him. All season, she has been “betrayed” by Dan but she crawls back every time and buys into his next scheme.
How did Ian take out Boogie? Everyone in the Quack Pack wanted Boogie/Frank to go. Shane won HOH. Shane nominated them. Frank won veto. Ian went home.
Ian was a mole who didn’t start actively playing until he had no choice.
Every season people say so and so didn’t do anything because the other players were too stupid. Stupid players aren’t easy to control. Look at Hayden, who is now a beacon of morality since he’s outside of the house. He almost lost the jury vote because of stupid players.
Sorry meant Boogie went home.
Dan is the BEST player to play this game, whether he is handed the check or not, he moved all the HGs like chess pieces. Hate all you want but you have got to respect his game. THIS IS A GAME, deal with it people.
I agree Dan is the best player of all times hands down. People need to understand that this is a game. If your going to play off your emotions and vote off your emotions don’t sign up for Big Brother
