Frank will need to immerse himself with the newbies in a way that he gains their trust. He needs to make them believe he would throw Boogie under the bus. Then he can report inside info back to Boogie. I believe Frank is actually loyal to Boogie (but not Dan). and I do think Dan would like to see Frank go so he could have a better chance of linking with Boogie. As long as Frank is there, Dan sees that they have a tight bond.

I think it might take Dan determining that he's burned his bridge with Boogie for Danielle to nominate the two of them. This is assuming, of course, that she follows whatever Dan tells her to do.

Those are certainly good strategies by Dan and Janelle (although a bit risky for Dan esp.). I don't think it's going to work though. However, we shall see. It should actually make Boogie distrust Dan all that much more, knowing that he would lie about Frank planning to turn on him.

Haha. Dan's busted by Boogie over knowing that Frank was going to be voted out tonight and not letting him know.

Ian might be feeling like he needs to redeem himself. Poor kid.

Yeah, but Dan sure likes to throw those comps. Maybe Danielle could pull one out?

Brit needs to hope she can ride that Janelle train all the way to the end b/c I don't see the others wanting to work with her.

Whichever one wins HOH (except her, of course) needs to make nice and not even drop a hint that she's getting backdoored this week. Would love to see the look on her face from being extremely blindsided by EVERYONE.

Oh yes. Frank somehow survived. I think Frank should put Britney and Janelle up pronto if he ends up becoming HOH. Then if one comes down, Ashley goes up.

Why does he smell so bad? Has anyone seen him shower? And when was the last time he did (IF he did)?

That would be so hilarious. Chilltown takes an exit before letting producers hand the season to Janelle. Perfect.

I agree with that straykat. Third time is certainly not a charm for her. I was a huge fan, too. But now I can't stand her.

Too funny. And in the process, doing the dirty work of the "great Janelle." I confess I'm only half paying attention to this season, but I thought Wil didn't like Janie and wanted to assert himself?

But I don't think Shane realizes that. I mean, is Shane even fully aware that Frank is the one leaving? B/c earlier it sure seemed like he thought Frank was safe.

I think it's in Shane's best interest to keep Frank -- and to try to work the house towards that goal. I think Shane feels he can trust Frank more than Joe, and at this point someone should really talk up the idea of the coaches returning and how Janelle and her team will be difficult to deal with all the way around. From the Shane perspective, he should want to work with Boogie and his team -- rather than relying on Janelle, etc. The undoing of Frank will probably be the undoing of Shane.

She absolutely instigated the whole thing. I kept hoping she would find out what a double-cross Willie had done on her by having the house talk (minus coaches, hmmmm.....). Wonder how Willie will get out of that one.

Willie would be good to keep around just b/c he will self-destruct -- only problem, he's such a dicey loose canon in the meantime.

Go Frank! I assumed he was a goner but what a comeback. For those who voted him to stay, as Frank would say: "Appreesh."

Actually, if he could invent a way to keep cats from shedding I'd be grateful.

Too dumb to realize you can't start copping an attitude this early in the game. Kiss some butt and make nice. It's really pretty simple. But apparently not simple enough for this one.

I'm sorry, I disagree with what appears to be the majority here. Dick was a one-trick pony and won his season b/c producers saw to it that he won (remember, AP and all that?). Believing he was one of the more popular guests, producers came up with idea for duos this year -- and of course, wanted Donatos. Dick refused. He had absolutely nothing to gain by going back on the show. Odds were he would not be able to pull off a win again. His daughter, however, was a different story. But how to overcome the "duo theme" and yet, not risk his "legend" reputation of winning? Ta - da! Bring Donatos back (big splash as they walk through the door to the utter surprise of all the guests), stick around for ???? and then have to split due to "emergency." Danielle's in -- despite duo theme -- and better yet, she's golden for 4 weeks and can't be humiliated by being voted out early. Perfect.

Yet, amazingly, he did.

Hi Yana, because the "emergency" is not genuine. It's a fabrication. If producers had not been in on the idea and didn't want Dick to leave (for ratings or whatever), then they could have leveraged by telling him Dani walks too. I think once Dick realized he was jeopardizing both their chances he would have thought twice before leaving (and probably would have stayed). But since producers were willing for Dani to stay (PLUS get a free ride for 4 weeks), they were in on this "emergency" and got what they really wanted: Dani safe for a month. Dick agreed to come on just in order to get Dani on. The plan was probably hatched by the producers themselves.

I think producers were totally in on this Dick exit thing. Planned from the get-go. Otherwise, if it is legit, producers should have said to him that he and Dani came into together -- and they LEAVE together. End of story. The fact she's still there is a major tell.

Nor will any of the others from this season. They're all lame IMO.
