Dan’s HOH Blog!
Head of Household #7: Dan
First off, I have to thank AMERICA for voting me America’s Player!!! Finding out that I was voted America’s Player was a huge surprise for me personally. I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart and I am very humbled by those who voted. I did my best to give you (America) exactly what you asked for, especially with the masculine yet awkward 18 second hug.
In this house I try not to take ANYTHING too seriously because this is a once in a lifetime experience. Everyday I am in this house I try to stay as positive as I can because even when the chips are down a positive attitude can pull you through a lot of tough situations.
Regarding the actual game of Big Brother, it has been a lot tougher then even I imagined. I came in this house trying to play as hard as I can right from the start and I found someone with a similar mindset in Brian. When Brian was evicted it changed the entire game for me and I realized I had to shift gears to play the “weak player” strategy. I’ve had to throw A LOT of competitions to get to where I am now and being a competitive person it was a very difficult thing for me to do. I’m not a huge fan of losing so to intentionally lose is a lot harder then it may seem. But make no mistake about it, with every competition I have thrown (I like to call it the Art of the Throw) I have had SO MUCH fun doing so. Anytime I would throw a competition I would try to “one-up” or do a more convincing job of each throw, and whether I fooled anyone or not, I hope you all got a kick out of it!
This brings me to my current state of the game as HOH. Clearly I have abandoned the Art of the Throw and am now playing the game as hard as I can. This week by gambling with my hidden alliance member (the Renegades) Memphis’ life in the game, I took a huge risk. Lucky for me it has paid off so far, but I have had to do some shady things in the process. I did break a major deal with Ollie by nominating Michelle (someone who I actually like, but is a tough competitor) and it was not an easy decision. In this game you have to make tough decisions because you are fighting for your life every week. Whether or not the decision is right or wrong I am sure I will find out, but at the end of the day I felt it was the best move for me and my alliance in Keesha, Renny, and Memphis. It is nearly impossible to win this game by yourself, so I hope that trusting my alliance does not come back to haunt me!

Episode 15 Recap From CBS.com
Season 10: Episode 15: One Less Girl who Fights as One Woman is Evicted, Another HOH is Crowned
The reaction to Jerry calling Dan a “Judas” during the Veto ceremony is swift. Libra feels Jerry didn’t get the memo about the show, since deception is the name of the game. “This is not the Marines,” Libra says. “This is the BIG BROTHER house.” Renny thinks the Colonel’s statement “made him look kind of worse than Dan actually.” After the Veto ceremony, Dan gets up and says someone may think he sold someone else out, but that “is not the case.” Libra comes to Dan’s defense and reminds everyone “it’s just a game, y’all.”
Up in the HoH Suite Michelle and Memphis also talk about Jerry’s speech. Michelle didn’t like the fact that Jerry almost used the Veto. Memphis-no fan of Jerry to begin with-notes, “It’s one more thing that slipped out his fat mouth…thank God it wasn’t me he was talking about-I would have flipped out on him.” Michelle thinks Jerry put a huge target on his own back.
In the Sauna room, Libra apologizes to Dan for what Jerry said. Later, a seemingly depressed Dan says, “I don’t know if things in this could…get any better for me!” Dan shakes off the sadness he has been faking and jumps up and down as he proclaims, “It’s created so much sympathy for me I can’t even contain it!”
It’s clear who is going home-or is it?
In the Spa, Libra informs Keesha it is clear who is going home. “You’re not going to get evicted,” Libra tells her. “I could bet my last dollar on it.” Keesha isn’t so sure. “That’s what Jessie thought too,” Keesha shoots back.
Keesha’s fears may not be unfounded. Outside on the patio, April tells Ollie she cannot trust Keesha, since she was as much behind Jessie’s eviction as Libra was. “It makes me nauseous just to look at the bitch,” April hisses, before adding that Keesha doesn’t like her since she is prettier! Ollie agrees with his house main squeeze.

It’s Time For America’s Choice Again!
CBS has a poll open under the America’s Player section (even though this poll really has nothing to do with America’s Player). It hasn’t really been advertised on the show, but I think it will be tonights.
The poll is regarding the houseguest’s next food competition.
