it really wasn't that big because frank had no one at all until jen, who also had no one but realized frank can take her further than she could get trying to align with anyone else. dan needed to save himself, and frank does as well. dan swearing on everything important to him? we'll see how much character he has now.

I agree Fan. When Dan said that playing BB is his third love in life, he must have a boring life. His wife and coaching were the first two. If I were his mother, my feelings would be hurt.

When he reneges on his bible promise I'm sure his excuse will be that to play this game effectively you have to adapt to the house (which is true). We'll see how it plays out, but I can't see him being loyal to Frank for a final 2. He may be able to reclaim his sainthood when Frank is evicted by others and Dan has no blood on his hands.

Ian's problem is the same problem most newbies have... they want to start playing the game. It must be difficult to sit in that house for days and weeks and be in the background. At some point they are itching to play the game. Now, Dan has the experience and patience to keep his mouth shut, and hang in the back, until he's forced to make his move. Of course, being the first one to have 2 team members kicked off might have alot to do with it...

He said his first love was his wife and family. I think that includes his mother.

I guess I didn't hear the family part. Sorry... I stand corrected. I still think playing BB as the third love of his life is a bit bizarre. Yes it would most certainly include his mother.

I also don't think he did technically swear on the bible, he said, "I will swear on the bible, swear on his wedding ring and swear on his dead grand fathers chain, but Frank waved him off.

When Dan has something to say, he always leaves an out for himself, most people don't pick up on it until it comes back to bite them. He doesn't straight out lie, he let's people hear want they want to hear. Does that makes sense.

Dan had Frank so wrapped up by the swearing on the Bible and taking his wedding ring off, that his props weren't needed. Doesn't say much for Frank either, to fall under the mist that quick.

What about his love for God? That should come in the top 3.

Well, nothing personal here, but Frank has never been that smart. He's very gullible. He's made a mistake by always wanting Dan out. Just like others made a mistake by always wanting Frank out. When people put so much energy into trying to get someone out, it never works, and always backfires.

IMO the bible was an excuse to go see Frank alone after the funeral - if he just said that he wanted to talk to him, everyone would have been suspicious, but by saying he wanted to read a passage to him privately, no one questioned it. I also find it funny that people think Dan has no life for saying BB is that important to him - aren't we the ones who spend every summer glued to our tvs and computer screens for this show? lol

Brit thinks her conversations are so intelligent. All I have heard her talk about is her expensive shopping habits, her sex life, and no one is as smart,and is as good as she is at playing this game."Get steppin, missy". Right out that door.

Jackie I agree - a common mistake is to become too focused on getting one person out - the player becomes blind to anything else, including all the emerging threats - and opportunities - around them. A good player puts emotions aside and looks at the big picture. Frank was too focused on his loyalty to Boogie, then his vengeance against Dan, and I think now we'll see Dan use Frank's new obsession with Ian to his advantage, pitting the two against each other.

Oh for sure Lillian, he will use it to his advantage. These head games are what I love about BB. I just don't get why people don't just love how Dan manipulates peope in the game.

I thought Dan said in the confessional that he did swear on all these things but he was not lying about what he swore about. Lilian, thanks for mentioning Boston Rob. : - ) Dan reminds me of him a lot. Rob and Dan seem to have the type of personalities that make people want to please them so they (Rob and Dan) will like them. It is interesting to watch.

Yes, I believe Dan is going to win it. He really is making good moves! Unless a Shane/Joe/Frank alliance forms and they get to the end...

I must go back and re watch whether it was an actual swear or an offer to swear, there is a big differance when it comes to Dan. In the confessional, didn't he say, I was willing to swear on the Bible, but the truth is I really meant it. I have gotten into to the habit of listening really carefully in how Dan words things, it makes all the difference.
