Dan did that

1. becuase he is a goof and the DR people convinced him to stir it up

2. he wanted to cause trouble between them 4; therefore deflecting SOME attention off of him

i found it quite entertaining

and seeing the resulting behavior of the 3 stooges...who comes out looking worse.. Ollie-Jerry-Michelle are horrible grumpy nasty people..not to mention losers

Jerry should choke himself for being 75 yrs old and acting an ass

Too many times in this game we see that when a person or alliance become prideful everything turns on them. I think Dan overplayed his hand as HoH and for the first time changed from playing the "loser" to becoming a bit prideful about the fact that he was HoH and could make or break deals as he wanted. The veto ceremony and his game there were over the top. He would have been better off playing as though he was so sorry and he just couldn't put up one of his own team. Ollie would have hated it, but I think would have understood better, and he could have spun it to make Michelle blame Ollie for giving up on taking HoH. By stabbing Ollie in the back so forcefully, there's no way he'd get his or her vote in the end.

That said, well played by Dan to set Renny against Ollie--that was an alliance he's always been concerned about.

Dan seemed to forget that his actions will quickly become an open book. With his grandstanding game play, even his own "alliance" may figure the time has come to send him packing. By comparison Jerry and Ollie look weak, consequently the target-on-the-back is likely to move.

Yep, well said. If he had played things remorseful and truly weak, he probably wouldn't have upset people so much.

Double elimination should be very interesting ...

Well bye bye Michelle, and Ollie probably had the quickest exit after finding out he was evicted. It will be interesting to find out how the final five play out. Jerry will probably go next,but you have to wonder if Renny and Keesha might try to go after Memphis and Dan now.

I think Renny should be the winner.

Dan, who seemed like a good guy in the beginning is a Catholic who seems to put more faith in the Saints (Mary, if memory serves me correct) than in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I don't think I've ever heard him mention Jesus Christ in his conversations, which would make sense since he (Dan) has no problem lying, being deceitful, embarrassing others for his own enjoyement, etc. etc.

Remember Dan 'for the love of money is the root of ALL kinds of evil'.

And Renny was the only one to call out Dan regarding his 'roulette' scheme in the HOH room. But she felt helpless and had to go along with it.

Who would have thunk that Renny would become the most popular houseguest after witnessing her in the first week?

What Groucho said.

The best Christians I have ever met are the ones who don't talk Christianity but quietly promote their faith by example. The ones who are constantly talking Christianity are usually, in my experience, terrible Christians. And the ones who criticize those who either do or don't talk up Christianity are the worst of all. Probably the same in every religion.

So, as a good Christian, you have never stabbed someone in the back in a game of Diplomacy or lied/bluffed in a friendly game of poker, right? Come on, what is wrong with you people? Why is it so hard for you to separate game behavior from real-world behavior? Some of you guys out there really need to be smacked across the forehead with a 2x4 of reality.

When someone goes into the house claiming to follow a certain set of beliefs and then doesn't follow those beliefs, then you have to question what it is they actually believe.

If Dan had been backed into the corner and had to lie about something that is one thing, but to knowingly make a promise without any intention of keeping it and all because of money, well that speaks for itself.

Do you not think he, me, we will all be judged by our actions regardless if it's a game or not?

I absolutely do not.

I see no problem in someone like Dan lying to someone in the BB house to advance his position in the game. I see a big problem in reacting to said lie by threatening him with bodily harm or wanting harm to befall him because he outplayed you. The first is all part of the game. The second reveals a malicious inner nature. I have little doubt God would judge the second act far more harshly than the first.

Sin (as Christianity defines it) is much more about the intent of the act than the act itself. Dan's intent is not to do harm to another, it's to play the game. Ollie's intent was far darker. While I have little doubt that God would see Dan's lie as a venial sin, I also have little doubt that he would see Ollie's violent reaction as intent to inflict harm and a grievous mortal sin. Especially from a so-called practicing Christian and son of a minister who has shown himself to be a whore-monger, shown that he only cares about his narcissistic self, and shown that he could care less for his fellow man. If you really feel the need to find a Christian sinner in this house look no further than Ollie.

Leave religion and even the military out of the discussion. To play this game well, you have to lie to some extent. It's been proven on this show time and time again.

Anyway, I'm finally caught up with the show. Great season. Last season was unbearable and I couldn't stand the one before with Evil Dick(head). BB learned from their mistakes by not having an America's player (except for one week which was tolerable) and using complete strangers. I guess it helps that the group remaining is the group I was rooting for. I couldn't stand Michelle or April.

I'm waiting for BB to tell Renny about hurricane Gustav and the threat to New Orleans and her family.

^Won't have a clue unless BB tell her and they probably won't tell her until Sunday when it heads closer to the Gulf.

Actually, the last good season was the one with Evil Dick on. He called people out for who they were. He wasn't a saint, that's for sure, but he told it like it was.

Though, if I were in the house, I would have stood up to him because of his treatment towards the women.

But entertainment wise that season blows away these last 2 seasons, especially during Big Brother After Dark, which during this season, has mostly been a snoozefest.

It's too bad that was the most rigged season in Big Brother history.

Memphis won POV and is promising to take Dan off the block if he promises to vote Renny out.

Dick liked to "call people out", but he was a gigantic hypocrite about it. I do agree with you though. I did watch a lot more of BBAD last summer than I do this year. Dick could be entertaining, but it was really Jessica that entertained me the most.

This year I check the live feed reports to see if there is anything on BBAD that I should watch and almost always just end up deleting it. And I'll say this about BB10....at least I don't feel as dirty watching it like I did with BB9. These are more typical houseguests.
