Ian wants to break up Shane and Danielle. I think we will see Dani going home this eviction.

I don't agree. Like CeCi said, he wants Quack Pack in the final 4 for his ego. He keeps talking about breaking up the couples but I just don't see it happening.

I don't think it matters as much how far they get in the game but the person that played the the best game of manipulating people. Dan had to play his game by himself. Danelle, Shane, Britney and Ian had him out the door and he survied. Dr. Will played All Stars with a tag team of Boogie.

My opinion is Dan has already won the title.

Dani, Shane and Ian didn't have him out the door, Frank did. Then Frank pulled one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen in BB and rescued his #1 target.

Actually what is repulsive is the way people on here act towards the houseguests. I'm not saying she isn't delusional, I don't know, but the things that she says in the house are not said with any malice. She has no intent on hurting anyone whereas some of the people outside the house want to inflct harm on her.

I find that more repulsive than anything she or any houseguest has done.

Flame away.

I agree 100%. I get people not liking her but calm down.

Dan is incredible. I don't know how he managed to keep himself off the block this week. That said, with Jenn most likely going home, I don't think he can win the game. And before all the Dan lovers jump all over me, I don't think he can beat Ian, Shane or Dani in the final 2 because he already won once and no one will want to give him $500,000 again.

Ian is the only person that actually deserves to beat Dan in the final 2. He has played a good social game, he was loyal to his true alliance and he won a bunch of comps. And he will have to win next weeks POV and probably the final HOH to make the final 2 ... No one will beat him if he makes it (but I don't think he will).

Shane would beat Dan because he will probably get the non-QP votes. He had a great friendship with Joe and I think Frank and Jenn will be bitter towards Dan. And Ash will follow Frank. He might not have done much scheming or game talk but he won a lot more comps than Dan and that will be enough for people to justify not giving it to Dan.

Dani will have the hardest time beating Dan which is why she won't go home this week. That said, she will probably beat him in the final 2. She hasn't won many comps but neither has Dan. What gives her the edge is that Dan will take all the heat for the backstabbings of Ash, Brit, and Frank. And beyond that, everyone likes her.

In the end, Dan will be screwed by the $500k he already won and the fact that there aren't enough gamers in the jury. Usually the jury rewards the person who played the game the best but Ash and Joe will vote personally, Frank and Jenn will vote bitterly and Brit will vote for the QPer she likes the most (and Dan is at the bottom of that totem pole).

Totally wasting his HOH by sending Jenn home. His thought process and loyalty as been discussed ad nauseam but he is totally blinded by Dan's mist. How people haven't figured out that Dani and Dan are just as much a pair as Dani and Shane is beyond me. And Ian wasn't even focused on breaking up the pairs because he just wants the QP in the F4.

Ian isn't thinking about how he survives next week. At this point, he should have realized that he has the best argument to win the game and that will make him the #1 target, especially since he can't play in HOH. Even if he thinks he has a final 2 with Dan, I am amazed he hasn't tried to make a final 2 with anyone else.

This guy just isn't playing the game. He's super loyal but isn't thinking beyond this week. He should have told Ian that Dan wanted him out in the double eviction so they could have gotten him out now.

He still has a good chance to make the final 3 because he is so good in comps but I think he has to win the final HOH to make the final 2.

Easy! Shane and dani are doing it for him! They are showing that they are together and need to be separated! Hum! Dani might get herself out the door finally!

Ian wants to see the Quack Pack in the final 4. He won't send her home.

Really? She volunteered to be a pawn so Dan doesn't have to go up...?

So dumb. Why people are willing to take Dan to the final 2 baffles me!

How has he convinced Ian to not put him up? He's such a huge threat to win and has targeted everyone but Jenn. Doesn't make sense!

Really like Shane. No chance he wins but I want him there. I am worried that he is dumb and trusting enough to not use the veto on himself but if that happens, he dexerves to go home. In the end, I thimk he will and maybe Ian will talk him in to backdooring Dan!

Of the 5 left... Dani can beat everyone in the F2 except Ian, imo.

Agreed. She's just so well liked.

I think Dan is going to have a hard time getting Shane out. I don't think Dani can bring herself to vote Shane out and I think Ian really wants the QP in the final 4 since he feels it was his brain child. He will also be worried about how it will look to the jury to break the tie in Jenn's favor ... Frank might like it but Brit, Joe, and obviously Shane wouldn't.

I agree that she will beat Dan in final 2. He has been so manipulative and stabbed so many people in the back, I don't think he can possibly make it to the end and without generating too much ill will.

I really hope he is smart enough to target Dan this week. He has won enough comps now and made the big moves necessary to crush anyone but Dan in the finals.

Crazy nom! I think I understand his thought process but it's still crazy.

Here comes the backdoor on Shane!

Going to be interesting. If Shane, Dani or Ian win HOH, I think they will all stay loyal to the QP. If Jenn wins HOH, she will go after Shane and Ian. If Joe wins, I think he will go after Dan and either Jenn or Ian. If Dan wins HOH, stuff will get crazy because he is already really focusing on who he can beat in the final 2 and getting rid of his two biggest threats (Ian and Shane).

Whatever the HOH comp is it has to be quick. I can see the cornhole game for the POV. I would think with Frank (maybe going) tonight, production would latch on to Dan as what will keep the fans watching.

If they want Dan to be safe, they won't do a cornhole POV because Joe and Shane are both pretty darn good.

Dan already trying to pitch getting Shane out in final 5 to Dani ... Will be interesting to see how that plays out the next few weeks. I don't think Dani has the stomach to send either Shane or Dan home.

Time to see how easily manipulated Ian is. Frank was just working him hard.

Frank campaigning hard to Ian right now to break the tie in his favor. Actually making game points vs. saying how awesome he is. His argument will never make sense but maybe he can work some magic.

Jodi was the unfortunately casualty of a twist that essentially guaranteed a book would go home simply for its cover alone.... not really the coaches twist.

I don't disagree with you at all, joystiick ... but Frank is just the most aggressive about it

Just wondering if anyone had told him yet.

I don't think anyone is going to tell him. He has such a short fuse, I think they will just keep telling him that they are going to keep him then rip off the bandage tomorrow night!

Her exit interview with Jeff was great. She was probably voted out too early to win AC but I still think she will be in the hunt.

I know people feel strongly (one way or the other) about brining veterans back in to play the game. But my question isn't about that. Do you think this cast would have been better off if they had just played good old fashioned Big Brother?

Personally, I say yes. No matter what, this game is going to have drama. People are going to form alliances then stab each other in the back. People's personalities are going to clash and they will fight. And people are going to do and say whatever they have to get the money. So I don't think the producers needed the coaches. And I have said it before but will repeat it here ... I think the coaches restricted some of the people that were cast to be big players in the game.

Kara was booted solely because she was on Dan's team. Nothing more than the threat of Dan cost her a chance to actually play.

Will was a target early because Jani coveted him so obviously and because he was stuck on a team with Joe and Ashley ... probably the two most worthless people of the season.

I think Britney really stunted Shane's growth as a player. He didn't know the game and didn't have the chance to learn. Brit was playing hard from Day 1 and essentially told Shane what to do. Then, when the Quack Pack was formed, he had Brit and Dan making his decisions for him. He never really learned the art of game talk and he will probably won't make the best decision if he wins one of these last HOHs or POVs because he hasn't had to make a decision for himself all season.

Frank fell into Chilltown and couldn't escape. I really think he would have been a totally different player without Boogie. He is obviously strong from a physical standpoint but, early on, I thought he played a good social game and his charisma would take him far. But his love for Boogie and the ego he developed in part because of Boogie's attitude towards everyone else in the house, really turned him into a pariah.

But most of all, I thought the coaches twist ruined the game because it forces alliances on the players. Willie wreaked havoc on Shane and JoJo. Power players like Frank and Shane had no chance to team up and roll through the house. Wil, Dani and Jenn didn't get a chance to use their social games to their advantage. They just played in the shadows of their coaches and everyone was forced to play with people they almost definitely would not have teamed up with.
