Dan is my all time favorite player as I have said before. I have always admired Dan's game. I am very sad that Dan didn't pull off this win. He certainly deserved it, but unfortunately the jury was unable to look past their bitterness and Dan's speech wasn't as great as it could have been (which is shocking since Dan is such a great speaker). Some seasons the jury is bitter (season 3 big time) and sometimes they aren't (season 10,season 8). If everything was based on gameplay, Russell Hantz would have won Survivor. Unfortuantely, every action has a consequence. I'm not saying that I agree with the jury at all, but it is what it is. Janelle was right. Dan not winning was a travesty. The look on the jury's faces was very funny during that part. Her and Wil spoke truth. I had Ian as my pick to win before and I like being right Ian deserved 2nd place. a 6-1 vote wasn't deserved, but better him than Danielle. And besides, this made Ian's life. I am happy for him. Dan won his first season and got 2nd this season. A big accomplishment that not even Dr. Will can boast. Dan should be very proud of himself for this. Excellent game Dan! You won regardless!
