#bb14

Confession…I always thought Dan’s game in bb14 was overrated! The funeral was flashy and fun but really he could have just as easily gone to frank with the information about the quack pack and changed the game to his favor without making an ass out of everyone, making danielle feel like shit (even though it was supposedly to her benefit) and then loosing Britney’s jury vote by blindsiding her in the way that he did!! The other move of blindsiding Shane was a coldblooded move (good tv too I will not lie) whose benefits were greatly overshadowed by the consequences of it! Ian was just as much of a physical threat,if not more, as Shane so it wasn’t like he did it to give himself a better change at the f3 comps (infact the final portion of the f3 comps is ALWAYS questions so he would have had a better shot at beating Shane over ian!) so no benefit at all there and I get that he didn’t think shane would take him to the end nor would danielle if shane was in the house (I personally agree shane would have taken danielle but I think danielle would have still taken Dan!) and he’d have to win the final 3 comp to get to the end with no other strategic path, but honest to god did he really think he had a shot against ian? Even if he did actually believe he had a better game than ian, ian had a lot of friends in the jury, and the path to getting rid of Shane would have guaranteed another jury vote lost! That move is again an all flashy strategic moves without any social game analysis! You made a fool out of Shane that close to the end, you sent him to a house where you burned at least 1 other person irreparably, i.e 2 people campaigning for your loss! A more socially savy player would have first of all not found themselves in a final 4 with a duo, but even if they did, would have rolled the dice with taking Danielle and Shane to the end, and worked on Shane to ensure he got him to take him to the end! Showmance burning at f4 is not a novel concept, and considering Shane and danielle were barely a showmance, It wouldn’t have even been that hard! dan himself thought for sure he would loose to danielle and he’d probably be able to convince Shane of the same! That coupled with a little manipulation to make Shane think his game wasn’t good enough and/or that Dan would not forgive being burned at f3 would have been enough! Ian going to Jury would have also been one of the best case scenarios for Dan since he would almost certainly have voted for Dan to win and ian not making it to f2 might have forced people who hated dan’s game but loved big brother too much to allow a dud winner like Shane or danielle, to vote for him! (Britney, frank, ian and all he’d need is one more vote, danielle for sure or more than likely a less bitter Shane would have given him his vote too!) Dan Gheesling, pioneer of the ‘all flash no substance’ game play that later took over both big brother and survivor!

who do i have to pay to make a they both reached for the gun edit with dan and ian

when i watched bb14 last year i was googling to see if ian was autistic and now im on bb22 and i hear him saying like "yeah i looked up my name and the 5th result was 'ian terry autistic' and thats how i realized i was" like oh wow i cannot imagine that being how you realize. like i cant imagine coming out of the house and 1) seeing a ton of people probably making fun of you for autistic traits and then 2) actually realizing you have autism from reddit armchair diagnosers and then having to recontextualize ur entire life

wait if we’re danian fujo posting what was fun about watching that season was that it was like if cirie and cory actually had an f2 and got to the end together but gayer and really what more could u want as a fan
