And I told her I still thought it was her best chance, even though it wasn't going to improve her chances at all. BRITNEY HAYNES: I think they were both deserving to win, and I think that a vote towards either of them is a good vote. That was not his strategy. DAN GHEESLING: It was almost like a little payback for her getting those points in the paint situation. When you had my best interests at heart, you're going to vote for him?" Some other questionable things happened. I want to know how to do that if that's something you can control, but he actually looked pale. Why it went from that, to "Hey, Frank, let's meet in private."

I thought Britney was a toss-up and I was banking on Danielle, which would have been enough to win. He did. I was trying to send a message. George Laura Jeb Michelle Barack and Joe Biden , Hillary and Bill all received the/a message . And I was all about hurting Ian, because that was the guy who could really win it. But obviously one of us had to win veto. It felt more like, this guy is a politician. That was crazy moment. He really did well, and there was something so likable and pure about him.

He was insinuating that these lights messed with his eyes, and that he was in pain, or he was messed up. I just wanted to keep a low profile, try this speech, and then see what happens. It's the most epic moment in the history of Big Brother. Ian and Jenn had next to no relationship outside of being on the same team with Boogie. But Ian did play a good game. I didn't see that as a possibility. JOE ARVIN: Everybody's freakin' crying. They were already thinking about next week and just going through the motions thinking, "Dan's going home, he's finally leaving the house." It wasn't meant to be.

And that's someone who's been in the game before, so why not get his ass out? DANIELLE MURPHREE: I was just like, "Are you serious? Expect the unexpected.

So that's why there's a bit of a stop down because we want to make sure everything is 100 percent correct. The drama and aftershocks for some of Dan's victims continued well after they left the Big Brother house. Maybe this is Dan's way of throwing it in some way.". It was just word vomit. DANIELLE MURPHREE: Literally, my heart broke in half. I think I might have been on slop too. He looked paler than usual. I felt really bad for him. I didn't look to him for help. I'm sadly not any smarter still. It felt like around three more weeks, but I needed a full answer. I really appreciate it.". He was in some really bad situations, he betrayed his main original alliance, he made some big moves in the game, and he took some heat for it. You're going to get your chance. It was a culmination of all of Dan's hard work and the power of his mist. In a show based on voyeurism, Dan provided the ultimate spectacle. On day 68. He was giving us the idea that the room had sickened him somehow, like a motion sickness type thing. Throughout 1964, his conflict with the Nation of Islam intensified, and he was repeatedly sent death threats. They also believed it was as he told Danielle meant to gain her sympathy with the jury. In one of the first weeks, I told her she was on her own. They had strobe lights and disco ball type things, and all these dancing lights. DANIELLE MURPHREE: Shane and I dated for a while outside the house, but Shane had a lot of stuff he needed to work through personally that he couldn't do in a relationship. At that point, I have no power. I freakin' loved it. I know that he's the target. I really didn't suspect that he was going to go up there and try to get off the block, I really didn't. So to be able to sell her on the fact that there was sympathy was something that I was like, "Hey, this is something that happened that I didn't expect. What is Dan's Funeral? I was highly annoyed. This is definitely top of the list. We were friends and we talked a lot in the house. Britney gave me a clue that she wasn't happy and this wasn't the plan. I don't know.

IAN TERRY: Basically, the way that this would work is Dan and Danielle are nominated, but I already have one Veto, so if Britney or Shane wins the second Veto, we can pull both of them off, which means that two people would have to be nominated other than those two. But I have to say, Ian really had an amazing final speech. Me giving Ian my vote is a nod to, number one, our relationship and the fact that he was my final two. I'm just not good at improvising in a situation like that. Okay wait, wait, wait. FRANK EUDY: I'm happy with my vote. Dan's won the game. SHANE MEANEY: I'd stick to Ian, 100 percent. He was actually trying to win it, which was kind of discouraging. JENN ARROYO: I was like, "What?!" Close friends of Dan have since set up a fundraiser to help the family pay funeral costs. You've got Joe, who says he wouldn't piss on Dan if he were on fire. It's hard to get that around my brain. He was able to persuade a lot of people in the jury that Dan had played unfairly. That's absolutely what it was. It was like a double-edged sword. DAN GHEESLING: Yeah, I remember that. How can I weave this story to make you feel the best about it, and to make this feel like this was in the best interest of your game?". It's too important to him. The main question I get asked still today is, "What do you think of his funeral?"

DANIELLE MURPHREE: Go re-watch the scene where he goes up to talk to Frank. And I stood there, and I thought about that. I saw that look, and I'm not reveling in it by any means, but it made me feel like I made the right decision. He knows the buttons to push. Pretty much the only two people who would be willing to vote for Dan were myself and Jenn City. Yes. It's definitely the top three. DANIELLE MURPHREE: I had to get on medicine.

After a surprise double eviction night sent Frank's two best buddies Mike Boogie and Ashley Iocco out the door, Frank rebounded by winning Head of Household. DAN GHEESLING: I get the necklace around my neck, I sit down, and Frank starts to talk. In a storyline that never made it onto the show and completely changes the context of what would happen later at the funeral, Dan was furious at Danielle for buzzing in and trying to win, even though he was doing the exact same thing. Ian took it a lot worse than I did. I was very angry that she went after those points, so that's where I started the thought process. I trusted her implicitly. "If my plan works, think of this: I'm gonna be off the block from a guy who put on a carrot suit, took an avocado bath, took a chum bath, and sat out of an HOH competition all to get me out. I was just like, "Summer!". Is the Quack Pack safe?" I think she was so hurt and betrayed by the fact that I knew that she was going to go on the block. I guess what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. He won competitions. says the actress. That doesn't make sense. Every time I saw Ian, I saw Shane. Dan broke his word with me.

The only two choices left are [Joe Arvin] and [Jenn City Arroryo], and we'd have the votes to just vote them out regardless.

I may have a future in sales selling ice to Eskimos if I can pull this off." And there are certain condiments you would be able to have to mix with the slop, which is just a very bland, tasteless oatmeal. So it was really frustrating for me.

DANIELLE MURPHREE: Now he's acting like a mute, like he went through something so traumatic. And he got the reaction that he wanted. I did feel confident that if every piece fell into place that they would take me down. SHANE MEANEY: Danielle's mouth was open, and she started crying.

He just acted like he dumped Danielle in front of everybody, so he wants to come up here and be like, "Look, Frank, you're in the house by yourself. I really pull back the curtain and go into great detail about But at the same time, I'd wanted to take shots against Dan from the beginning, but Mike didn't want to, and then Mike was gone, and I couldn't go after Ian. In his absence, the Dalai Lama sent his condolences to Desmond Tutu's family during this difficult time. JOE ARVIN: You want to believe him, and I think that's the biggest thing.
