I stated a week or so ago now that Dan not getting rid of Ian when he had the chance would be his biggest mistake, that he would not be able to beat Ian in a F2 showdown. He should have kept Shane. Oh well. I have to say that with all of Dan's great playing (and he did play so well) he really came off looking like an arse last night. At least it was an interesting season!
Arielflies do you mean here on this site or on the CBS site? I have been looking here and can't seem to find anything. Thank you.Quote:

Jeff did say to Ian and Danielle last night in the yard that there would be studio interviews today. Maybe they will go up later, or maybe they got cancelled. But, the final three were at CBS for the appearance at The Talk, so who knows.
Thanks so much. I thought you had put them on here (my bad) and was going crazy searching. :laugh I will check the CBS site.Quote:

That was my dream alliance this season.
The one mistake Ian made IMO is putting his alliance before his game. He should have been willing to take out Shane when Joe left or when Jenn left. Of course with Jenn it wasn't an option since Shane won veto, but he wouldn't even entertain the possibility before the veto. He was so obsessed with an all quack pack final 4 that it nearly cost him the game.
Dan also blew it in the jury speech. He should have pointed out that Ian wouldn't have been sitting there if he hadn't been willing to get Shane out. It's a very valid point that he completely missed because he was so desperate in his answer and speech. Of course, I will also blame that on the new format. They should have had jury Q&A before the live finale like Survivor. If he'd had time, I think he'd have done better and maybe swayed more jurors.
And two more: Doctor Will. Everybody hated him except for Chilltown. Everyone wanted him gone but he won. Of course, he did take the second most hated HG along with him, but I think only Monica and Hardy could have beaten him.Quote:

He just pulled out anything that meant something to him personally and hoped it would to a player( any player)Quote:

heck even Boogie read the bible :ohno
I dont buy what Dan sells , including that darned mist :lol
Janelle was right--This was a travesty and all them guys were voting petty. When these people get slam played by a better player (Dan) they always retreat to the "ethical high ground" defense. "I would never do such a thing!" As if they could. Jenn gets picked up like trash by Frank who needs anyone at that point, wins head of household, doesn't even make her own nominees and vetoes and she gets in the diary room thinking she's Al Capone. Dan wasn't mean. Dan didn't yell at Boogie or Frank. He didn't threaten to beat up Joe. He would have got Danielle the 50k. Most of them are delusional thinking they had the game to win this thing---so they dump their denial on Dan who played like MJ in the flu game.
I'm glad Frank got paid.
I think the jury members were understandably angry and upset... and they reacted/voted logically. Frank said that Dan crossed the line when he swore on the bible... so Frank likely spent a lot of time in the jury house complaining about what Dan did to him. Shane was blindsided by Dan, so he likely spent a lot of time trying to convince jury members to vote against Dan. Dan crossed the line several times: he went too far: he didn't finesse the other houseguests with strategic, clever gameplay. Dan was just plain ruthless. If Dan hadn't sworn on the bible to Frank for example, Frank might have gone along with Dan's plan anyway, and might not have ended up angry at Dan. Dan should have reined his ruthless gameplay in: Dan should have held back. Maybe Frank would have gone along with Dan's plan without the swearing on the bible, or maybe not... but the swearing on the bible led to Frank carrying those feelings into the jury house to all of the other jury members. Dan's ruthless gameplay led to a temporary reprieve for him... but that same ruthless gameplay also led to animosity and hostility concerning the voting.
