Big Brother Update (Sept. 2 – 4) (Spoilers)

Frank Against the World

The game is pretty much in control by the four person alliance of Dan, Danielle, Shane and Ian (The Quack Pack). They have the HoH and have nominated Jenn and Frank for eviction, and if Ian gets his way then Frank will be walking out the door this week. Here’s what has been happening in between episodes.

Sept. 2

·         Frank and Jenn plan to get Dan to use the Veto on Jenn so Frank will have at least one vote,

·         Dan is worried his actions in the Big Brother will affect his Wife in the real world.

·         Shane and Dan plan ahead just in case there is a double eviction week this week (there is).

·         Ian tells Danielle and Shane that Frank need to go home this week and Jenn next week. They also plan to tell Frank that he is safe so there is no drama.

Sept. 3

·         Frank tells Dan that he should use the Veto on him and not Jenn. Dan just plays the whole thing off.

·         Dan uses the Veto on Jenn and Ian nominates Joe in her place.

·         Danielle finally tells Shane that she is a nurse and not a teacher (because it’s such a huge disadvantage on Big Brother being a nurse and all).

·         Jenn tells Frank that it might be a unanimous vote for Frank to stay. (Her futility is affecting her alliances now.)

·         Ian and Frank agree that Jenn would be the only player Dan could beat in the final two because she has had such a crap season.

·         The houseguest take beer shots (is that a thing?). Then Danielle starts acting super drunk because it always has to be about Danielle.

Sept. 4

·         Frank tells Danielle that Dan had to be told by Frank to go apologize to Danielle after his “funeral” and is trying to get her on his side.

·         Danielle tells Dan everything Frank just said and they plan on keeping the ruse that he’s safe going.

·         Dan breaks the picture wall and Wil’s picture goes out.

Big Brother Mini Recap: Episode 23

The Pack is Back

(Programming Note: Since I will be heading back to work on Tuesday, the Big Brother Recaps for the Sunday and Wednesday episodes will become mini recaps. The regular Recaps will continue for the live eviction episodes and the season finale.)

The live eviction show, on Thursday, ended while the HoH competition was in progress. Joe and Jenn had fallen and Dan, Danielle, Shane and Ian where the remaining four playing for Veto. Frank, as outgoing HoH, couldn’t play for the power this week and was left hoping one of his allies would win and keep him safe.

Here is the conclusion to the HoH competition and a couple other things you should know from last night’s Big Brother episode.

1. HoH and Nominations

The HoH competition ended much like it began, pathetically. The first person to be eliminated from the competition was Joe, who fell off after 2 minutes, and was punished with 24 hours of hula hoop boot camp (he has to get up and hula hoop whenever a song comes on for the next 24 hours). Jenn fell off three minutes after Joe and continued her season of futility. Danielle, about to vomit, jumped off next but had at least lasted 30 minutes longer than Jenn. Dan fell off next leaving Ian and Shane to hang on another hour until Shane asked all the other house guests to go inside so he could have some private time with Ian. Everyone and their Grandmas new it was deal making time, and since Ian seemed to be fine (he was educating everyone about space and even disco dancing) Shane knew he needed to secure Danielle and his safety this week and that’s exactly what he did. Shane jumped off and Ian became the new head of household.

At the nomination ceremony Ian gave easily the best nomination speech of the season. He was frank (pun intended) and honest, and he spoke with the most confidence I have seen from him all season. He even looked both Frank and Jenn in the eyes when he was taking to them, which hasn’t been done a lot at the nomination ceremonies this year. Here’s what he told Frank and Jenn when their keys were not pulled from the box, “Frank, you are a phenomenal competitor in this game. And I downright respect you for it, but you’re a huge threat and that is definitely an issue I have to look at going down the line. Jenn, you have played a remarkable social game so far and you’re also a threat. And I just have to keep these types of considerations in mind when moving forward and nothing personal, just strategy.”

2. Reuniting the Quack Pack

Last we saw of Dan he was making a final two deal with Frank, and then all of a sudden we are shown a clip of five hours before the eviction on Thursday. The clip is of Ian telling Dan that no matter what happened last week Ian was still down for the pack and that he wanted to reunite the remaining members and get Frank out. Dan agreed (obviously) and now he is covered on both sides of the house. They bring Shane and Danielle into the fold and everyone agrees that reuniting the Quack Pack is the best plan and now their sole purpose is to get Frank out.

3. HoH Room

Ian’s HoH room is the exact same as everyone else’s (I miss how they used to change it to kind of match the personality of the HoH) but he made up for that with his nerd “swagger.” He gets excited to see his pictures and his stuffed snake (Snakey) but he absolutely goes nuts when he sees his bismuth. He even repeatedly says “Yes!” and “Swagger!” He tries to explain what it is to the others and they all just politely nod and stare.

4. Pandora’s Box is Back

As HoH Ian finds that Pandora’s Box is back for a second time this season and he is the lucky recipient. He gets shown his possible bounty (a pile full of Christmas gifts) and decides to open Pandora’s box. After reading the instructions Ian starts opening the gifts. He gets Sodium Silicate Magic Rocks, a telescope, a science kit, and even a volcano making kit. The present he seems most excited about though is an inflatable alligator.

While Ian is in all his glory opening his gifts, Jesse Clause has been released on the house. Jesse from Big Brother 10, dressed as Santa (kind of), barges in, calls everyone fat, gives them all sorts of “healthy food” and takes all the junk food in the house. I have to say though out of all the times Jesse has punished the house guests this was by far his funniest appearance.

5. Crazy Danielle

Not that much exciting happened this episode, which means instead of praising say, a bold game move or brilliant strategy I am going to highlight some of Danielle’s crazier moments from this episode. (Yes, only this episode, it if was anymore this recap would not be mini anymore.)

First of all I know there isn’t a lot to do in the Big Brother house. I know that when you are down to 7 or 8 houseguests you probably have only one or two friends left in the house, but sitting in the bathroom while someone showers I just don’t get. Danielle (who complained about creepy Ian trying to get a peak every time she showered earlier in the season) sat in the bathroom when Shane showered and tried to whisper-talk to him. Not only did he not hear what she was saying (or ignored her) but it was also super creepy. (But it’s not Ian so it’s not a problem right Danielle?)

The second time Danielle got super stalker-y was when she was talking to Jenn about Shane. Danielle told Shane the exact day when Shane last kissed her and complained that he hasn’t done it since and that he is going to miss out. (Shane is clearly not interested and has to taken to sleeping in the same bed as Dan instead of sleeping with Danielle.) It only gets worst when Jenn totally changes something Shane had said into him calling Danielle his girlfriend. That’s when you see Danielle’s eyes light up but lets it be known that if Shane wants to move on with this relationship there needs to be more kisses.

Tune in Wednesday to find out who wins the Veto, whether they use it or not and to see if Danielle finally finishes her Shane hair-doll.

Big Brother Update (Aug. 30 – Sept. 1) (Spoilers)

After the Aftermath

After Ian and the Quack pack took out both Boogie and Ashley in the same night, leaving Frank pretty much all by alone in the house, things changed. Frank rallied, won HoH and targeted Dan for eviction (which has been his goal for most of the season).  After a little theatrics and a little bit of truth Dan turned the house upside down, hosting his own funeral and then getting Frank (the guy who has been targeting him all season) to change his mind and go after Britney. It all works in Dan’s favor with Britney going home and him being able to save himself for another week. The Live Eviction episode ended right after Joe and Ashley had been eliminated from the HoH competition, here’s what happened after that.

Aug. 30

·         Danielle is the third person to fall of her rope and is out of the HoH competition.

·         Dan drops fourth.

·         Shane and Ian are left in the HoH competition.

·         Shane asks the other houseguests for some privacy so he can talk to Ian.

·         Ian tells Shane that he and Danielle are safe this week, if Shane let’s Ian win.

·         Shane drops and Ian wins HoH.

Aug. 31

·         Joe asks Shane about his safety this week. Shane doesn’t tell him anything about his deal with Ian (which by default gives Joe a one in four chance of going up).

·         Pandora’s Box is back again. While Ian gets gifts in the HoH room, the rest of the house gets to suffer through Jessie and, not only that but he takes all their junk food.

·         They also get a new hammock that doesn’t squeak.

·         Dan and Shane know that this week is the time to get Frank out. (NO!!!)

·         Frank tells Jenn he had hoped Dan would be evicted this week. (Why didn’t you just evict him last week like you planned?)

·         Ian nominates Frank and Jenn.

·         Everyone except Joe is playing for the Veto.

·         Jenn and Frank know that if the other wins the Veto then they will be going home. They talk about how they hope Dan or Danielle would use the Veto to save them.

·         Dan is preparing his final 2 speech. (What a cocky, bugger.)

Sept. 1

·         Ian tells Dan that if Joe wins the Veto and uses it that Dan will be the only one that he puts up in the place of the saved house guest.

·         Frank and Jenn believe that if Dan wins the Veto he will use it on one of them and the other will be able to get more votes to stay then Joe.

·         Dan wins the Veto.

·         Dan tells the cameras that his plan is to use his Veto on Jenn so that Ian will replace her with Joe. The move will let Frank believe that Dan is on his side will leaving him on the block so they can evict him on Thursday.

·         Shane offers himself as a pawn to Ian and Dan if they need him to be. (What?)

·         Shane tells Frank that he didn’t want to lose in the HoH competition. (Then why did you drop?)

·         Joe tells Danielle that Dan is telling Ian to put her on the block if someone is taken off. Danielle doesn’t believe Joe and confirms that he is lying with Ian.

·         Jenn and Danielle laugh that Frank thinks he can he enough votes to stay against Joe. (Jenn’s against Frank now too?)

·         Danielle is upset that Shane isn’t excited to share a bed with her. She then complains to Dan that he hasn’t kissed her since Day 27. (She’s crazy!)

·         Dan and Danielle discuss who they should take to the final three with them. Danielle thinks they should take Shane (obviously), and Dan thinks Jenn would be the best bet. (Danielle should leave the strategy to Dan and just stick to being bat shit crazy.)

Big Brother Recap: Episode 22

The Best Player of All Time, the Battle and the Brigade

Julie Chen opens the 22^nd second episodes with quotes from the New York Post (“[Dan is] the best Big Brother Player of all time.”) and Entertainment Weekly (“[Dan’s] Hail Mary was like watching Paul Newman in The Sting or George Clooney in Ocean’s Eleven.”). Ok, so yeah, Dan is a terrific Big Brother player. He’s easily in the top five all time, but best ever? The greatest to play in 14 seasons because he cried and got easily influenced Frank to change his alliance? I don’t agree at all what about Dr. Will, the Brigade or Janelle. I guess we will have to wait to find out if Dan can dodge a second week of having the target on his back after staging his own “Big Brother funeral.”

What I do know is that Dan has weekend himself in this game going forward. He alienated Ian and Shane, Danielle has to pretend not to be with him after what he did to her, and I really have to believe that Frank doesn’t trust him and is only stringing him along to keep a big target in the house. (But then again, has Frank really proven he’s not just going to get double crossed every week?) Besides that he is the only one still in the house that has won Big Brother before and that is going to leave a big target on him. It’s only a matter of time before Frank and Dan are eliminated and we get the final four of Shane, Jenn, Joe and Ian. (How boring would that be? The answer is ridiculously boring, and I would possibly stop writing these just to save myself the time.)

When we actually get to the game we see clips of what happened after the veto ceremony (Jenn used the Veto on Dan and Frank nominated Britney in his place). Britney, Ian, and Shane are all sitting in the living room shocked. Danielle is with Britney pretending not to know why that just happened while Dan celebrates by himself in the arcade room and Frank and Jenn go to the HoH room to try and relax while the rest of the house freaks out.

In a huff, Ian goes to the HoH room to confront Frank. He asks Frank what happened and Frank tells him that Britney is gone so that Ian would be alone in the house. Ian gets upset and starts at Frank telling him that it’s all “Bullshit!” Frank tells Ian that if he’s going to raise his voice he can get out of his HoH room. Ian storms out gladly.

Brit takes a second from trying to calm down the little ball of dust know as Ian and goes to see Dan. He tells her that it wasn’t personal and that she has to “talk to the HoH” because “all I know is I’m safe.” Wow, weren’t you with Britney in an alliance a day ago? Didn’t you tell her you two had a bond that no one else would understand? And now you won’t even tell her that she is going home. That’s cold. Britney leaves the arcade room in tears, “It is just a game but in the end Dan it’s important to me how you treat people.” She went on to add “it’s important to me as a jury member.” (She’s knows she’s going home Dan, be a man.) She then goes up to the HoH where Frank, the carrot man, and Jenn “City” are talking. She decides to try and compliment her way to safety? She tells Frank while in tears, “You are very good at this game Frank.” She throws a last ditch effort out to try and get Frank and Jenn on her side but it doesn’t seem to work that much.

A little later on Frank walks by the couches and Shane tries to let Frank know that he knows it was a tough decision but he’s ok with it, when Ian starts at Frank again. Ian starts in about how Frank had several days to make his decision to re-nom Britney and he only had “30.6 seconds” to make his decision to put Ashley and Frank up on the double eviction night. Frank doesn’t argue instead takes a different approach and just points out to Ian that everyone in America is seeing who he really is and that he isn’t an innocent bystander but a sneaky partaker. When Ian runs out of things to say to defend himself he turns to the other house guests and screams “If anybody in this house takes him to the end, you’re a fool. You sit next to him in the final two, he wins 7-0. (Frank should have pointed out that if he is in the final two then Ian would be in the jury and in order for it to go 7-0 Ian would have to vote for Frank to win over everyone else. That would have messed up Ian’s whole speech and given Frank an out on the whole Frank automatically wins in final two stories.) As the argument winds down Frank makes a joke and walks away only to have Ian be the strong, morally good guy that he is and flash the bird to Franks back (big man Ian, big man).  

After the first commercial we see Britney’s strategy. It’s to bash Dan to the other houseguests as much as possible. She criticizes him, she mocks him and she even does fake imitations of him telling her that her Big Brother life is over. Frank and Shane sit there awkwardly, Ian listens attentively and Danielle has a towel over her head so Britney can’t see her eye rolling.

We get peak of the insight behind the least interesting alliance this season when Joe and Shane decide to talk strategy. All Joe has to offer to the conversation is continuous ass kissing telling Shane “All I can do is follow your lead.”

Julie comes back live and talks with the house guest. She asks Ian about the vibe in the house (tense), asks Jenn how easy the decision to use the Veto on Dan was (tough), she asks Dan how it feels to be safe (good) and finally she asks Shane why he cried so much at “Dan’s funeral” (he blames the girls).

Before the eviction ceremony we get a special taped segment with the guys for the Brigade (the four man alliance that eliminated Britney in her first season). They are all there Hayden, Lane, Enzo and Matt. Here are a few quick notes in from there interview:

·         “We did do Britney dirty.” – Enzo

·         Matt dressed up as the “creepy Britney pageant picture” for Halloween.

·         “Two words to describe [Brit], high maintenance.” – Hayden

·         “The Quack Pack against the Brigade, it’s like the Mighty Ducks versus a tank.” – Enzo

·         All of the Brigade are “team Brit”.

Julie takes a minute before the evictions to talk to Frank in the HoH room. She asks him about aligning with Dan and making a final two deal. Frank says that he wants to trust Dan especially after finding out it was Ian that was behind everything and not Dan. She also asks him about his relationship with Ian going forward and he plainly states that if Ian wins HoH then he will have to look at trying to get back on his side.

J-Chen is back for the eviction ceremony and tells the two nominated house guest they have a chance for to address the house one last time. Danielle get’s up and tells everyone how she will lose it and stab every one of them if she is evicted. (She doesn’t actually say that, really she just says “I love y’all” a couple times. But didn’t you believe she stabbed someone for a second. She’s crazy.) Britney gets up and gives a couple shout outs to family and friends and then takes the last couple seconds to bash Dan. She starts with a slight jab at Dan’s Funeral saying “I don’t have the time or a big enough ego to stand here and host my own funeral.” She continues with a few pleasantries to the house and the finish with a quote for Dan that Jerry (BB10) used when he was backstabbed by the one and only Dan, “You’ll always be Judas to me.”

The votes go as planned with a four to one in favor of evicting Britney. She gets up hugs Danielle, Shane and Ian (Ian slips her a pair of the sunglasses he’s been giving to every players that gets evicted). When she gets outside all the fans cheer like crazy and she takes some time high fiving and shaking hands with fans.

Brit sits down with Julie for the farewell interview and the first question is about Dan. Britney answers rationally saying she understands what he did and how it aided his game but that she is not happy about it. Then Julie asks if Dan is pure genius or pure evil? Britney’s instant answer is “Both!” She goes on to talk about her alliance with Ian and the fact she had to cover for him a big reason why she was targeted. As always they end with some house guests sending Britney farewell messages. The best one this week is Ian saying “I will get that hairy orange beast!”

The episode ends with an endurance HoH competition. The house guests will have to hang on to a rope while standing on small wooden disks and being spun around a giant fake sun. Not only that but the fake sun will spray them with what looks like tanning lotion and a giant penis shaped meteorite will come out every so often and hit them when they pass. The person that stays on the longest will win HoH and the first person to fall will earn a surprise punishment.

Before the show closed we saw Joe sitting on the sidelines (he fell off during a commercial) and as the credits role Jenn gets hit by the meteor penis and falls leaving four players still playing for the HoH.

With Frank not eligible to play the next two HoH’s, he’s main ally out withtin the first ten minutes of the HoH competition and his new arch nemesis still in contention for the head of household if does not look so good for Frank. We will just have to wait to see what happens with the HoH and nominations on Sunday. Not only that but next Thursday’s live show will be another double eviction night which means major moves are going to be made in the upcoming week.

  

Big Brother Recap: Episode 21

The Season of the Alliance

 

The Quack Pack, Silent Six, the coaches, the newbies, Janelle’s team, Boogie’s team, Janelle and Britney, Chill Town, Dan and Danielle, DDBS (Dan, Danielle, Brit, Shane), Joe and everyone. That’s just some of the alliances we’ve had this season and most of them are all but expanded (Joe is still around making deals with everyone) and for that reason we are bound to see a lot more teaming up, breaking up and then teaming up again this season.

Since Frank is HoH and all by himself, last episode he nominated his biggest rival and main target Dan and plans to get him out this week. The only thing that could stop him is how the house votes, so while Dan plans a way to save himself, Frank will be trying to get the votes to make sure Dan goes home.

This episode starts with Dan and Danielle reacting to their nominations in the diary room “Like, how do you try to even campaign against the one person you didn’t want to play this game without?” Dan is a lot less dramatic about it saying “The thing that Frank doesn’t know is I got a trick up my sleeve. I’m hoping I can pull Ian to use the Veto on me and save the day for me, one more time.”

Frank gets his time in the diary room and says “Dan’s been doing a lot of swinging and missing when it comes to trying to get me out of the house this summer. Me, on the other hand, I wanna just take one shot at him and knock it out the park.” One shot Frank? Isn’t this the third time you’ve pushed for Dan to go up, hasn’t he been target all summer?

Before we find out who’s playing in the Veto competition this week, Dan and Danielle are outside strategizing. They discuss the best case scenario - Britney or Shane win the Veto and then Ian and the other Veto holder will use the power to take Dan and Danielle of the block, leading to Frank having to nominate Joe or Jenn next to the fifth member of the Quack Pack and the QP having the votes to control eviction - but they never talk about what they will do if Frank wins or even if one of the floaters wins it. Wouldn’t you plan for the worst case scenario first?

The Veto players this week are as always the HoH and the two nominees, Frank, Dan and Danielle, and then the players selected by random draw, Shane, Britney and Jenn. (Jenn is in another individual competition? She has been in almost everyone and still hasn’t won anything. What a joke.) Frank also picks Ian to host the Veto competition.

During the Veto player selection we see a diary room interview about Dan’s plan in the Veto competition that pretty much sums up how he plays the entire game. He said “The plan is to keep all five quack pack members safe. To do that I have to throw this competition to either Britney or Shane and that’s not happening. The only person I trust in this game is myself. If me winning this Veto means a Quack Pack has to go home, then so be it.” Does this mean Dan is going to actually try in a competition?

The first new alliance of this episode is created when Jenn “City” (what?) goes to Frank  and tells him that he’s not “rolling by himself.”

The veto competition this week is sponsored by Draw Something, the telephone app. If you’ve ever played Draw Something on your phone you know how to play this Veto competition. Viewers from all over sent in their own drawings to Big Brother for this competition. The main objective is to guess what is being drawn on the big screen in front of them. They are given the number of letters in the word and a bunch of letters that could be in the word (just like the phone app). The first contestant to buzz in and give the correct word wins a chance to get the points. In order to get the points though, the contestant must accept a punishment (the picture is a clue of the punishment) to earn the points. The player with the most points after ten pictures is the winner and gets the Golden Power of Veto

.

Here: are the Quick Veto Notes:

·         Ian looks like even more of a dork in his beret and sweater vest.

·         Ian makes a note (or the editors made sure to put that in after words) that you cannot help the other contestants and if you do you will be disqualified.

·         The first picture is an avocado. Frank buzzes and answers correctly. His punishment is to be dyed green; he accepts (“Perform it, yo!”) and earns two points.

·         Drawing number two is “hunger”, Dan answer first and gets it right. In order to earn five points he needs to eat two of four trays of gross looking food (each tray had something different). Dan ate the Ick Sticks and the Big Brother sushi netting five points.

·         Jenn answers first for the third drawing, it’s a clock. She has 90 seconds to take off her clothes and burn them for four points. She is super excited and suggests that she’d be willing to be butt naked (no thanks Jenn). She easily gets four points.

·         The forth drawing is worth six points and Britney buzzes in first. The drawing is of a shackle and she gets it right and accepts being chained to a house guest of her choice (Danielle) for 24 hours. Brit gets six points.

·         Drawing five is of a shower and Frank answers first. His punishment is to have a chum shower every time a bell goes off for the next 24 hours. He accepts, earning seven points moving his total to nine.

·         Frank gets the next one right too earning three points for wearing a carrot costume for a week. His total is now 12.

·         The seventh drawing is of a bench, it’s worth ten points but you have to sit out the next HoH competition. Frank answers it first and accepts the punishment, meaning he has 22 points in the Veto competition but won’t be playing for HoH in the next two HoH competitions.

·         The eighth rounds picture is ‘spots’.  Danielle answers correctly and for her punishment accepts having her other houseguests splash her with paint for two minutes. She earns six points.

·         The ninth picture is “trip”, which means the person who answers will be sent on a trip to the Big Brother 24 hour Solitary Dance Party. Dan answers correctly earning him eight points and add to his total bringing it to 13 overall.

·         The tenth and final picture is of summer and is worth 11 points. Britney buzzes in first but can’t think of the word.

·         Frank whispers the word to Britney and is DQ’d from the game. Frank had the lead, the only person who could have beaten him by points was Dan and he still has to do all the punishments. Worst move by Frank so far.

·         The (second) last picture is still worth 11 points and now anyone has a chance to win the Veto. The picture is of a ticket and Jenn answers correctly meaning that Jenn has 15 points and wins the Veto. (WHAT? Jenn won a competition?) She also accepted to take a slop pass for the rest of the summer.

·         In a diary room celebration of her first win Jenn yells “Awh! Shucky, Ducky Now! Looks who’s got the gold.”

After the competition Frank and Jen come together and solidify their alliance. Jenn reiterates to Frank what she said earlier, that he is not alone in the game, and makes sure he realizes she is sincere.

Dan breaks down in the diary room after losing the Veto competition. While in between sobs he says “In the end, there are three things I love in life my wife and my family, coaching and playing this game.” He enters the 24 hour Solitary Dance Party after the competition and seems to be ok with the fact that he has 24 hours to be alone and scheme.

Over the next couple minutes we get quick looks at everyone’s punishments. Britney and Danielle awkwardly use the washroom with the other standing just outside the door because they are chained together. We see Frank wearing his carrot costume and then having to jump into the chum bath every time the bell sounds, even when he’s sleeping.

I guess the 24 hours goes quickly because we are now shown the houses guest banging on the door of the Have-Not room to wake Dan up and let him know he can come out now. When Dan comes out though, he looks pretty beat up and the smell in the Have-Not room leaves everyone believing that Dan got sick over night. Dan walks around the house like a zombie and then he lets everyone know that when he feels better he would like to have a house meeting.

At the house meeting, that Dan calls his “Big Brother Funeral” (he wears all black), he starts by saying something nice about all the houseguests.

Joe: Joe, being around you, you taught me a lot about how to be a good husband.

Shane: You know Shane’s walking, living proof that there actually is a Captain America. You’re such a good dude, I just appreciate our friendship.

Jenn: The one and only Jenn “City”. You’re the first lesbian I’ve ever met and I just want you to know just how much you’ve touched me.

Britney: I know that we’re always going to have this bond that maybe only you and I understand as new people being married in this house and being separated from the people we love.

Ian: The more and more I was around you the more you remind me of myself because you love this place with everything its worth. And you, you single handily made this experience for me.

Frank: There’s a couple things I’ve said about you that I’m not proud of, you know, there’s something in the bible I want to read to you upstairs and apologize to you face to face in private.

If you’re paying attention you’re right Dan hasn’t said anything to Danielle yet, he saved her for last and I’m sure it will be the most emotional and heartfelt.

Danielle: The last time I played this game I learned a lot of tough lessons early on, and I learned that you gotta find one person and put 100% of your trust in them. I thought I picked you and you would have similar qualities to Memphis Garret and, through my own fault, I was wrong. We don’t need to get into it right now but in this game you’ll never earn my trust back. You know what you did and in this game you’re dead to me. So don’t come to me and ask about ‘cause it’s over.

BOOM! Dan just dropped a bomb on Danielle in front of the whole house and no one knows why. All Danielle can do is sit there and cry, while Dan and Frank go upstairs so Dan can apologize and the rest f the players stand around dumb founded.

In a diary room interview with his hair all slick back we see Dan looking like an evil villain and he explains what just really happened, “Did I really go crazy in solitary confinement? Or did I come up with a master plan to get myself out of this mess?” OOOOOHHHH!! Yeah, that makes more sense Dan doesn’t seem like the kind of person to all of a sudden sprout feelings, he was just playing everyone. Danielle isn’t going to be too happy when Dan lets her know this is the second time he has made her cry for the good of his game.

Dan has just created one of the best diversions in Big Brother history, while the house guests are downstairs trying to figure out his motives for the speech and at the same time trying to console Danielle he is upstairs with Frank letting him on everything. Dan tells Frank that Ian was the guy spreading all the info about Boogie and that Britney and Shane wanted to win the veto in order to mess with Frank’s nominations.  All this truth telling from Dan is just his way of trying to get back on Franks good side and surprisingly it works. Not only that we have our second and third alliances of the episode formed. Dan and Frank decide to make a final two pact and also plan on bringing Danielle and Jenn in on it. Now all that has to be done is Frank has to convince Jenn to use the Veto on Dan so he can nominate Britney and Dan has to get Danielle back on his side after blowing her up in front of the whole house.

Dan brings Danielle into the arcade room to do damage control. He tells her that in order to save them both he had to make her cry in front of everyone. Danielle starts crying again saying “You broke my heart. You humiliated me in front of the whole house.” She stops crying almost on command and asks him if he could have at least given her a heads up and he says no “Because then you wouldn’t have cried.” Danielle can only reply with “You are one sick person, Dan.”

Now that Danielle is on board all Frank needs to do is get Jenn on board. Frank tells her everything that Dan told him about Ian and Britney. Jenn is on board to go after Ian next week but she is hesitant about using the Veto on Dan because she doesn’t really trust him but Frank assures her that he and Dan both have her back and that’s good enough for her.

At the Veto ceremony both Ian and Jenn have a chance to use their Vetoes. Ian is up first and decides not to use it because he wants to build up trust with Frank. On the other hand Jenn does use her Veto, making probably the only move she has made all season. Knowing this was all going to Frank had a nice little speech planned out when he replaced Dan with Britney on the block, He said “Ian, you voted Mike out last week and then put me and my other closest ally up on the block. She went home. You won the veto so I can put up. I got to do the next best thing and put your closest ally up on the block, you made apparent who that is, so according to a not so wise young man ‘Britney pop-a-squat.’”
