Spin The Wheel And Make A Deal
Dare I think it? Dare I write it down for the world to see? I myself can't even begin to believe what I'm thinking after the show tonight. Is Dan a Dr. Will? Does Dan deserve the title of The Puppetmaster II?
I'm forever harping on editing concerning the shows and tonight is a great example. Tonight's Big Brother was made to be a showdown between Dan and Ollie. Both of them were edited brilliantly tonight. Dan as the humble teacher who misses his girlfriend yet still swore on her and his family that he'd keep his word to Ollie. Ollie who fought so hard and against all odds to stay another week in the game after losing his girlfriend in an eviction the show prior.
To even any casual Big Brother television viewer, Dan was a man of his word. Ollie was the smug bastard who couldn't stop winking and smiling in the diary room. Ollie, after all, had made a deal with Dan that he'd let Dan win the HOH if Dan would let him pick a nominee, keep himself safe, and then also pick the replacement nominee if the POV was used. Like Ollie said in the diary room, he is basically the HOH except for the official title and the pictures.
All of you know how mad I was at Dan a few days ago. I couldn't believe the stupid deal he made with Ollie and then couldn't believe that he'd actually nominate his closest ally Memphis. Well, don't let me fool you with all of this talk. I still think Dan's decision was stupid and the reason is because there were too many unknowns involved to make that kind of deal at that time. But as we now know, everything worked out perfectly for him and he has come out smelling like a rose. This week will definitely go down in the Big Brother history books as one incredulously perfect week for him.
How about some miscellaneous thoughts concerning tonight's show? Dan's nomination speech concerning vagabonds and renegades was hilarious. Dan's boo-hooing in the HOH reading his letter was even funnier. Michelle trying to throw that water balloon and failing was the bomb. Ollie's smugness was sickeningly funny.
I wonder if Dr. Will was out there watching this show tonight. What do you think he would say about Dan's deal with Ollie? What did you think you about the show tonight and the editing? Does Dan deserve being compared to Dr. Will? And do you think Dan or Ollie go the better edit tonight?
Tell me!

I'm lost HD and that is probably because I haven't seen the show. So you are telling us that after we watch the show we will be proud of Dan's decisions and understand where he is coming from. Thanks.
From HD - Yes! LOL!

I believe that Dan is in the Dr. Will club. If you think back, the guy has never stopped thinking about his next strategy! Now I do not have the benefit of the live feeds this season (I am regretting that decision now) but I knew I would not have the time to dedicate to watching it with my workload. Thanks to you HD, I have still felt somewhat in the loop up until now. All week I was wondering if Memphis was going along with Dan or if he was really angry. In watching the show, obviously he is pissed. Is this real or an act?
I loved Dans speech and thought that the Renegade comment was a sly way to tell Memphis that he is safe. I think if he can get past this double eviction he could actually pull this off! I will be so disappointed if he doesn't make it...I don't know who I will route for!
From HD - Memphis really was pissed. More than anything though he was confused as to what Dan was doing since Dan wouldn't give him too much when it came to specifics and the deal at first.
