Look what you did to him!". ALLISON GRODNER: He went into the Diary Room just and he was devastated. It was like, "Okay, I said it," so what are they deciding on right now? "I have no power in this game. DANIELLE MURPHREE: I'm not believing it. I voted for Ian because he had the biggest impact on my game and me not winning. They had strobe lights and disco ball type things, and all these dancing lights. He was acting like a man who was sick. Re-watch Ian's speech. DANIELLE MURPHREE: Go re-watch the scene where he goes up to talk to Frank. An online book of condolence has been opened following the death of Watch Manager Dan Lee. This is it. We still got four. He was a bluegrass musician in the Sweet Auburn String Band. While Frank can put up whomever out of Shane or Britney doesn't win the Veto, he also has to pick someone else.

I can't throw the comp." JULIE CHEN: That "punishment" of solitary confinement was a blessing in disguise. What a fricking guy. I never wanted to be in a position ever where you win or you go home. Throughout 1964, his conflict with the Nation of Islam intensified, and he was repeatedly sent death threats. I could have just taken Frank upstairs and talked to him, but I would have come down to a lot of questions about "Hey, what did you and Frank talk about?" This will be fine.". Everything Dan did was super, super calculated, so I believe that time in was probably good for him figuring all this out. Honestly, one of the things that makes my game in that season weaker is the starstruckedness with the returning players. BRITNEY HAYNES: That better not be true, by the way, but moving on. I almost think it was that type of a situation. I was like, "Okay, this'll work out. DAN GHEESLING: I talk about wrapping a lie in truth. Consider it the football coach's Hail Mary: Clad in all black, Dan presided over his own "Big Brother funeral" and thanked each of the remaining Houseguestsexcept loyal ally Danielle.The play worked, and Dan not only survived elimination but also made it to final two.

And Chris tries to get the bits out of me that he needs to, but also this is someone that I have a relationship with from season 10, and he says, "Hey, look, man, nothing's ever over. The guy, he doesn't quit, so it always read false to me the whole time. Not even so much in what he said. I'm angry at Britney because I'm questioning her because why is she getting answers from Frank. DAN GHEESLING: Joe and I talked a lot about being married and things we were as husbands. I'm pissed, I'm sad, and I tell the producer, "Hey, look, no offense, but get Chris Roach in here because I'm not talking to anyone else." Because there was a close call like that earlier in the season, too, where we were doing the counting competition where they had all the candy and whatever, and we had to count. 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?". I was disgusted that Ian knew Dan was going to do that and didn't tell me. The Big Brother 21 finale will air Sept. 25 on CBS. And I look over and Dan wasn't throwing it.

It's like a light being turned off and being plunged into sudden blackness; slowly, your eyes adjust and soon you are able . But that doesn't do well with me. I've literally never seen anything like it. It was just a nasty side of Dan. They were already thinking about next week and just going through the motions thinking, "Dan's going home, he's finally leaving the house." I just knew he was still fighting to stay in the house, and so I was like, "Is he going to try to be buddy-buddy with me now after all this?" this link is to an external site that may or may not meet accessibility guidelines.

So that's what I have struggled with the past seven years. The girls are crying. He was the houseguest who would talk to you in the backyard for hours about what you got for Christmas and what was on your second birthday cake, and what's the best present you've ever been given.

I'm coming up with it, in that moment. Maybe he just answered quickly. I was so mad at Ian that last week. ", DAN GHEESLING: I wanted to disarm everyone and let them think I'm done playing the game, so that's the only thing I could think of to make sense.

However, some other stuff was not subject to that swearing. So I'm kind of anticipating what he's going to say to me, you know? You can only freaking win so many competitions. She got really upset, and then I had to reel her back in. I'm literally looking around the room going, "You people have lost your minds over one night this guy spent in a room." Dan traveled in a lot of circles. in that moment, it wasn't gameplay. I'm not kidding. And I stood there, and I thought about that. SHANE MEANEY: I'm thinking my odds are pretty good.

Then drop the bomb on Danielle and then see what happens from there. I'm just looking around for a hidden Veto, and that's the first couple of hours. I bought it hook, line and sinker. I know moving forward with the Quack Pack we're good. So I had that, water, and cake to eat. And I'm just looking at everybody, like, "You can't be serious. I care about their feelings.

Pam Grier reflects on her most iconic roles, from, Kathryn reacts to the 'conspiring bitches', Jack Matthews apologizes for offensive remarks in the. I don't know.

I was just going to say, "You're dead to me," but I truly don't want to make someone upset, so even though it doesn't make for as good TV I said, "In this game you're dead to me" instead. JOE ARVIN: No disrespect to Ian because I absolutely love him, but if I had to do it over again, it would be Dan by far. That's exactly what I thought. All the emotions were still very new. We heard it, we saw it, and we made the ruling. And if I were voting, that would hurt my opinion of you giving you my vote. Should I let her?" Once you get out of that house and we start watching it for ourselves, it was crazy just how good Dan was.

So when something like that happens, we probably stop the game for about 15 minutes. That was a direct invitation because I know what's about to happen. So at this point, I'm getting really upset that he's that upset. He's going to be alive. I didn't realize that Frank was going to take what happened with Ian out on me. IAN TERRY: I just saw it as the same as if Frank had won. Your only option is to team up with me. I would rather be sitting on the block in my little safe hole, because I knew that I probably wasn't going to get evicted by the people in the house and that I was not going to be the one to walk out. ALLISON GRODNER: In terms of encapsulating everything that is really fun to watch about Big Brother, it has the spectacle, it has the emotion, it has the drama, it has the immense strategy, the psychological component, the human chess game that we talk about so much when we talk about how this game is played it had it all.

That sucks. One, I don't lose games much, and two, just bad history with anytime I would lose. Frank was duped a couple of times by Dan and had wanted him out, and then got got by him basically. I get another chance to save myself because Frank essentially acted outside of the rules!". DAN GHEESLING: I mean, I'm desperate. BRITNEY HAYNES: One person was going to have to go up, but we would have had the votes to save whoever. I don't know what's going to work and what's not. And then Dan was like, "Oh, okay. Recovering from the death of someone you love is a long, gradual process. Shane was going through a lot of trouble at the time. And I looked at Britney and I remember hearing her say, "Oh, it doesn't smell very good in there, and you don't look very good." IAN TERRY: I was just like, "Hey, what the hell is this, man?" I'm happy that Britney was picked. I wanted to make sure she got every piece of that punishment. What did she do?" And I felt like Dan had had his chance before, and Ian hadn't had a chance before.

I let myself down, my family down, and now I've got to go into solitary confinement and that's my worst fear.". But I knew he was staging it because he made signs to the camera like he was okay or something, but he didn't look good. I was like, "I don't know, man. You never know how someone's going to react.
