from reading it she did today

she got Joe on her side and he was trying to talk Shane in to it, they are scared Dan/Dani are working together, the feeds go down like 3-4 before show start so I dono what they decided

still think she goes as Shane wants to keep Danielle, but it's more up in the air today than yesterday where it was a slam dunk

Season 12 Rachel Reilly: 1 (and only 1) Solid Ally: Brenden, Really Good at Comps, Upsets many people often, no real long term planning.

Season 14 Frank Eudy: 1 (and only 1) Solid Ally: Boogie, Really Good at Comps, Upsets many people often, no real long term planning.

Season 12 Rachel Reilly sucked (although entertaining).

Some members of the house are annoyed by Frank because they can't beat him in comps. Thats a weak characteristic in my books. Border line envy. Frank his been fighting the immediate bullseye on his forehead right from the season began when the other players matched him up.

Eviction spoiler and part HOH spoiler (in progress):

Spoiler!

Britney was evicted 4-1. In the HOH competition, Joe and Jenn have been eliminated. Frank can't compete. So Dan, Danielle, Shane and Ian remain. It's an endurance competition where they have to hang onto a rope that is orbiting a "sun"

[OILFAN #81]

HOH update part 2: 2 people left!

Spoiler!

Danielle and Dan fell. Shane and Ian are the 2 left.

[flamesrule14]

Am I the only one that was not that impressed by Dan's move? Like really a mastermind plan? Please give me a break. The guy was done and played the only card he had which was throwing his alliance under the bus to Frank. Like really is it really that hard of a sell to give someone a final two deal when they have no one? I know Frank just got Jen on his side, but come on of course he'd go with Dan when presented the opportunity. And I like Dan, but I really didn't think his whole diabolical plan was anything special.

The reactions from Britney and Ian were priceless though. That whole sequence was just entertaining to watch. Can't wait for tonights episode. Really hoping Britney found a way to get the votes. Would make for an entertaining power struggle between the two sides.

HOH is

Spoiler!

Ian

really hope Frank scrambles to save himself and outs Dan but specifically Danielle as behind Britney going, not that I want Dan to go but would lead to the most scheming in the house

Ian as HOH

I'm glad I've stopped cheering for or against certain players. This show is so much more enjoyable if you just want to fun players that stay and the boring to go.

I've found the competitions are a step above previous years too.

[trackercowe]

I really do hate Ian, he is just a smug little jerk. It's a shame Mike protected him during the first week, as he probably would have been the first one out.

[Stay Golden]

I wonder what the punishment is that Joe will get.

He should be forced on the block automatically for finishing last. I wish performing piss poor in competitions would work that way, rather than just dumping crap all over you or wearing a stupid costume for a week. Start making people play for keeps.

Smug, really?

He's fine, makes the game more interested. Get that loser girl and the #### cook out of there already.

[Stay Golden]

Did anyone catch on after dark a couple nights ago when Dan asked Joe if he has ever been in a fight. And of course the story teller says "sure" Dan asks him did you win and liar Joe says "oh ya plenty"
Really Joe we all saw your fighting stance vs Willie. Joe looked like he was trying to bare knuckle box from the early 1800's. Willie would have mopped him up. Ever since that moment I couldn't stomach Joe and all his BS stories.

He hasn't been fighting it very well then. Frank is not a good game player, he has no guile, grace, or personal magnatism. The only person in the House that liked him at all was Boogie. Good game players don't need top win competitions to get to the end, although it does help. Really I found Ian trying to claim that Frank would win 7-0 really laughable (I mean I get the claim since you want to put a target on his back but really)... I think the only persons he beats in the end (if he's lucky enough to get there) is Jenn or Joe. Everyone else mops the floor with him.

Hope the HoH send him home this weak... just for the epic lulz from Britney when he walks in through the jury house doors. I think he might win veto though... it's about time for for the rope veto and I don't see anyone but Shane beating him in that particular comp. Maybe it'll be cornhole or facemash though.

JMO there is 3 elements to BB the Social, the Competition and the Strategy portion.

Frank for what they edit for prime time he appears to be not well liked by half the house for quite sometime now. But you watch the after dark and pretty much everyone likes to hang out with Frank. So i am on the fence there.

Competitions he is one of the best of all time.

Strategy wise he lets his emotions get the best of him. Ultimately that is what will eventually get him back door evicted.

Well there are seven people left in the house, so it would be pretty much pointless to try and back door evict him now. I'd even call it gutless if the new HoH does try and do that, especially since he couldn't complete in the HoH competition.

I'm assuming loser girl is Jenn? If it wasn't for her being hideous and Joe screaming we'd never even know the two of them are in the house.

Yes, probably. I've only been watching since All-Stars but that's by far the best move I've seen. Dan managed to get the guy who hated him the most (Frank) get a total non-player (Jenn) to use the veto on him. You say it was his only option, which might be true, but no other player in the game has done what he did earlier this week.

Oilfan mentioned it as being the best moment since that diamond veto thing.. but it's even better then that because this wasn't a power the game provided him.. damn had his back against the wall and instead of covering up and taking the hits.. he punched his way out of it.

Add in the foresight to see that he had to at least appear for a short time to be at odds with Danielle. Brilliant, for sure. Using the Bible and an apology to speak to Frank in private so as to avoid suspicion.? Crazy smart.

He didn't just throw the Quack Pack under the bus, that wouldn't have worked. He used the theatrics and it worked perfectly.
