Big Brother 13 CBS

Well I'm sure the audience influences things but Dan clearly knows that. That's why when he voted to evict Boogie he announces that it was "for Janelle." I mean there's no telling what's going to happen honestly when you give Dan a soapbox and tell him to preach.

As far as jury I don't think there's anyway Britt is voting for Dani. I think she'll vote for Ian and if Ian isn't an option she'll go Dan. I also think even if Dan backstabs Ian, he's logical driven and would also choose Dan.

Frank is clearly still bitter but ultimately Dani screwed him over just as much as Dan and Ian ratted on him for weeks and got him evicted so I don't know how he'll respond. He has no real good options. Jenn is likely to go Danielle if she's an option same for Shane. I couldn't have any clue what Joe or Ashley will do. Joe might follow Shane's lead and throw in with Dani though because he mistakenly believes that Shane is his best friend. I don't know. If Dan makes it he's in for a difficult battle but Dani is probably his best bet. It's really hard to predict jurors like Joe, Jenn and Ashley who were so blah and nothing.

I think you're right about Britney/Frank/Shane/Jenn. Ultimately I think non-entities like Joe and Ashley would vote for Dan over Danielle because he will be perceived as the alpha player when they're sitting before the jury (and Joe & Ash don't have a lot of personal stuff with either of them to be swayed by much else). If it's Dan vs Ian...who knows? Though I'm sure Dan will do everything he can to paint Ian as just as guilty as himself in these people's demise, and just as gullible as Danielle.

Unless the level of jury bitterness specifically aimed at Dan is extremely high, I still say he wins against either of them. And I'm really impressed/not surprised that Britney is so rational on the jury (and let's not forget how much influence she can over over people like Shane).

Ugh, bbusa possibly giving out the two time winner title, before the black winner title.

Seriously is bbusa the only reality game show that has yet to have a black winner?

While that's true Britt is going to be campaigning for Ian during jury discussions because she won't' know whether or not he's in the running so I don't think she'd dissuade angry voting too much. Also I think followers like Ashley and Joe might follow Frank if he throws an Anti-Dan tantrum.

I chuckled when I saw they included Jodi in the voting options for America's Choice. But I think we all know who's gonna cast the single vote for her.

 

[falconfan]

Dani is sobbing in Shane's bed apologizing... girl needs to have a chat with Diane from BB5 because that's how her and Shane would've wound up.

LOL! I made that same comment in a post a few weeks back.

Poor Shane though. I don't think he's actively trying to mislead women. I think he's genuinely struggling with his sexuality and he mentioned on the feeds that his parents are super religious and would NOT be cool with a gay son. So it might be a case where he's only out in his personal life to friends and boyfriends or whatever, but his family doesn't know so he can't exactly come out on TV.

I have a lot of compassion for Shane -- despite all the gay jokes I make because after all, it's still a TV show and it's not like I matter in his life -- because all his stupidity aside, he really seems like a genuinely nice guy. He was always enthusiastic and in a good mood on the feeds, almost corny in the way he verbally high-fived everyone all the time, generous and sweet to everyone in the house, never trash talked, and never took the bait when Boogie and Frank acted like assholes in the kitchen. He may be one of the genuinely nicest people who's ever been on the show and when you look like Shane, that's actually really rare.

 

[falconfan]

Oh yeah Shane was super nice but I don't feel bad for him because if worked even a little this game would've been in his pocket. Between Britt, Dani, and Joe he had more than enough soldiers to use. He never bothered to fight for himself or do anything with his HOH other than what people whispered in his ear. HE's a nice guy and he handled Dani like a champ, and I think it was genuinely because he was concerned about there feelings and not because he needed an ally. So I'd feel bad if something happened to him in real life but I don't feel bad that he lost the game he didn't play well.

 

[falconfan]

In other news: Dan has told Dani that he thinks he can get Ian to throw her part two of the competition (don't see it happening). He went to Lie down and she has been rampaging in the kitchen to Ian about how she wants to take Dan down and get revenge for Shane and how she knows he's going to try to play games but she's not having it. (Considering Dani through HOH to Dan I highly doubt Ian will be dumb enough to hand her PT 2. But I think there's a lot of truth to her rage so maybe he might fall for it. Also there's an outside chance she is pissed enough at Dan to cut him but I just don't see that happening considering how quickly he talked her down in the endurance.)

Oh I agree. It's a game and I never get worked up about who gets evicted in terms of who's bad and who's good. Shane is super nice but he had ZERO game.

 

[falconfan]

After her convo with Ian, Dani reported back to Dan and told him she's sold the 'I hate Dan' line to Ian. I think he believes it. I don't think enough to throw a comp but I think he thinks she might choose him over Dan should the time come.

I'm pretty sure that rampaging is played up strategy so Ian won't think she and Dan are cool (so maybe he would throw Part 2 to her if he thought both of them would take him). Danielle is psycho but she's brilliant at the pre-jury game of letting people think she's mad at Dan, or not in on their eventual demise, or not working with this or that person. She does the job of Dan's spy well, with very little prodding even. She's almost a machine when it comes to assisting Dan in bamboozling the others. It may bite her with the jury when it all comes out, but it's going to get her to the end.

There is NO chance she's cutting Dan.

 

[Sgt Pepper]

The funny thing is, her innocent act actually helps Dan in the event Ian wins this HOH. Cuz if Ian thinks Danielle isn't in on Dan's scum-bagging, then he's going to be wary of taking her to F2 in case the jury is pissed enough at him. You have to remember, Ian doesn't see it the way we as viewers see everything. To him, Danielle is not as guilty as Dan. And her playing that up just makes it easier for him to take Dan to the end should Ian win this HOH.

 

[falconfan]

Dani is way better at social strategy than anyone gives her credit for (because she also is a crazy person). But she was able to keep strong relations with everyone and she knows how to handle sensitive info, which has been the downfall of many a houseguest before her. Had her alliance crumbled around her she would be in a prime-Jordanesque position to be the last woman standing pull out late in the game comp wins based on being underestimated.

And she would've won in that scenario cuz she'd have four Quack votes on the jury (and Dan would make sure they all voted for her).

 

[Lostlover]

Lmao. Now it's down to two people taking this season seriously.

And we lean that a floater isn't actually floating!

 

[slipintothefog]

LOL Danielle's FACE last night after Shane got booted. I just can't.

In this case we can add, "Actors, all of them actors."

 

[Sgt Pepper]

slipintothefog, Danielle's faces are the most GIf-able this season for sure. Remember this gem when she got Zinged?

 

[joesman]

Oh my goodness how some people revel in this Jim Jones kool-aid of Dan's. That he thinks he has to hurt, console, hurt again, console, lie in his consolations all the while pounding his own ego as if he were some kind of a mastermind when in actuality he would never, ever have been able to pull off this shit had he not been a coach. I worry that praising a mean spirited creep like him makes some people think they too can pound their chests and think they have it all right and everyone else is wrong. He is what he appears to be. So are they.
