He was able to persuade a lot of people in the jury that Dan had played unfairly. This is incredible. Because I knew people had underestimated me. I'd seen Hayden Moss and Danielle Reyes, the only two people I can remember to get locked up in solitary confinement. That's what I really wanted to say, but she tried to hide that from people. It's not about compliments with Frank. Give the guy a break. But I still think that there's something rotten going on because this guy, he's too good to go out this way. DAN GHEESLING: I'm angry at Danielle for buzzing in. IAN TERRY: Even though I was that mad at Frank, I knew he made the right play, and I actually was more impressed that Frank had the balls to do it than I was that Dan was able to get himself pulled down. So we all go to the living room, and that's when the funeral happened. It's like everybody turned over their cup. I feel like I did everything I could to stay in the game and it cost me in the end, but I can't fathom a nice way to stay in the game other than what I did. SHANE MEANEY: I really struggle with the fact that Danielle was the only one to vote for him. I've forgiven Dan. He was in tears, by the way. I fear nothing in Big Brother at all, but that was one thing I truly feared. He continued to churn out big-selling albums like Ndivhuwo (2001) and Sethopha (2003).This is the album that got Dan international recognition. He was acting like a man who was sick. After a surprise double eviction night sent Frank's two best buddies Mike Boogie and Ashley Iocco out the door, Frank rebounded by winning Head of Household. BRITNEY HAYNES: As his speech starts to roll out, that's when I start to realize, "Oh my God, this is happening." I was shocked. I guess what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I see Britney's mouth drop and Ian's like "No! With Frank and Danielle now reeled in, it was up to the Head of Household to see if Jenn would use the Veto on Dan. If I've been in this house for this damn long dealing with these damn people on this damn show, then I can be on slop for three weeks." Let me gas up everyone else.". BRITNEY HAYNES: This is when we decide we can carry out the plan. Considering the mixture of strategy and spectacle, is Dan's funeral the greatest moment ever over 24 seasons of Big Brother to air in the United States? And he storms out of the room, right? One thing I was a touch hesitant on was I didn't want to send another female out, but I was also like, "F Britney. And Frank's just jabbing him and basically saying, "Hey, it's payback time. The drama and aftershocks for some of Dan's victims continued well after they left the Big Brother house. DAN GHEESLING: It's 100 percent bad and it's the most upset, sad, disappointed, angry I've ever been in playing two seasons in the history of my Big Brother competition-wise. We spent so much time together. I was like, "I don't know, man. I remember Dan saw my brother after and ducked inside a room, the coward. He was driving every single thing that she did. More than 6,400 has been raised, so far. Expect the unexpected. JOE ARVIN: I was, "What the hell? Frank got the first question right with "Avocado," and had to dye himself green to receive the two points. But then at the same time, I couldn't blame him because there's no world where you could expect that Dan would actually throw a competition, especially when he's on the block. So with him, I just tried to find a common ground, something that we both could agree on and enjoyed talking about with each other. Some family members said they saw me talking to myself and walking around talking under my breath looking like I was giving a speech, so I'm sure I practiced it a little bit, but I know in my head I ran through it hundreds of times. That's pretty good odds at this point in the game. Dan broke his word with me. BRITNEY HAYNES: I think they were both deserving to win, and I think that a vote towards either of them is a good vote. ", DAN GHEESLING: Shane fulfilled a certain role in the house. JENN ARROYO: That was fed up. I really appreciate it.". It was just word vomit. They just hear our voice, but it's where we talk to them from, and we have a machine in there we can roll back tape. That was my moment to just internally go nuts, but don't show a sliver of it externally. JENN ARROYO: It was one of the coolest, awesomest moments in Big Brother history. My thing is I always want to play as hard as I can. Most people in the funeral profession have their own (usually quite personal) idea of what the answer to this question should be. This could also be given by a religious leader or celebrant, depending on the family's wishes. You don't care what you do, who you hurt. The funeral was the mist at the most powerful point. I realize the public obviously thought that Dan should have won, and I can totally see why they wanted Dan to win, but I still think a vote for Ian is fair. If they were correct, they had to do a punishment if they wanted to collect points towards winning. Once again, Britney buzzed in first, and once again, she did not know the answer, enabling Jenn to then buzz in with the correct answer of "Ticket." I want to welcome you all to my Big Brother funeral. This has got to be a setup.". And I knew that people just really didn't see me as any sort of threat. SHANE MEANEY: I think I made a comment like, "Where the f did Jenn come from?" We would have understood if he could have just told us that he wasn't going to do it. I absolutely would. IAN TERRY: He looked pale and he looked sick. JENN ARROYO: No one could believe I did that. I don't know. 2023 Oscars predictions: See who will win at the 95th Academy Awards. And in that moment when Dan shook his head, there was something very unlikeable about Dan. Stop, do not say anything. Leaving nothing to chance and with nothing else to do Dan then ran through the plan over and over again. Obviously, we're watching it in real time as it's happening. The actor has appeared in the series prior to taking the regular role of Dan in 2004. A dominant (and terribly named) alliance titled the Quack Pack consisting of Dan, Britney, Danielle Murphree, Shane Meaney, and Ian Terry took control of the house, with Ian playing the role of double-agent to secretly undermine his coach Mike Boogie and teammate Frank Eudy. DANIELLE MURPHREE: I'm not believing it. I'm like, "Oh my gosh, this is so sweet. Obviously, there's strategy to it, too, because Dan was a good player, and had a lot of people that he was working with in the house. DANIELLE MURPHREE: I had to get on medicine. JULIE CHEN: At the time, I thought the jury didn't make the right call because I remember at the time I thought, "Wow, they probably voted emotionally, and it was their egos because they didn't like getting played." Everything Dan did was super, super calculated, so I believe that time in was probably good for him figuring all this out. It was him ratting his squad out up in the HOH room and unnecessarily making promises on his cross and Bible. For the plan to work, both Britney and Shane had to be picked at the Veto player picking ceremony in which the Head of Household and two nominees each put their hand in a bag and pulled out a chip with a player's name in it. Do I think this is going to work? The Veto competition was a Draw Something challenge hosted by Ian in which players (including Jenn, who was picked by Dan with the Houseguest Choice chip) would have to buzz in and guess the object being drawn. Dan's ouster was so assured that he even staged his own funeral. It's like, "Okay here are all these big things that happened. He was in some really bad situations, he betrayed his main original alliance, he made some big moves in the game, and he took some heat for it. I honestly didn't know that. IAN TERRY: I remember Dan saying something like, "You have to promise me something. But God had a different plan. He didn't have to be a phony and have little conversations with people. He likes those pranks, and he likes to be annoying as a joke sometimes. He knows the buttons to push. 249. Please do subscribe if you want to. I think she was almost tasting it. So I start to formulate what I'm going to say to each individual person, because people are inherently selfish and they want to hear something good about themselves, which is fine, and I get it. : A plan created during one of the punishments Dan faced from the veto competition to one day of Solitary Confinement. I really did. She recently played on the Warped tour and her band Kittie released a live reunion DVD earlier this year. FRANK EUDY: I knew the whole funeral was BS. The girls are crying. RICH MEEHAN: He went into that solitary room and figured it all out. It didn't go to Britney or myself. He obviously doesn't mean this. While two Quack Pack members were up on the block, a plan formulated among the alliance to save the entire group, thanks to Ian already holding one Veto and another one being up for grabs in the next competition. I had to win every competition, and I knew the odds were not in my favor. RICH MEEHAN: There are a lot of incredible moments that have happened, but this is always the one that comes up first in our minds. Fair enough, that's an interesting thing to aspire to. says the actress. And does he have one bucket or two? I want to know how to do that if that's something you can control, but he actually looked pale. ALLISON GRODNER (Executive Producer): I had just gone home, and I remember Rich calling me and running the decision and the situation and the decision by me. I was trying to send a message. When Dan Gheesling returned to the Big Brother house for a second season, he staged his own funeral and eulogized himself, throwing his partner under the bus in the process. And it kind of proves that you obviously have been dishonest in the past, because you're trying to do all this stuff to prove a point. It was incredible. SHANE MEANEY: It was bad, but God has a plan and maybe I had to go through something to learn something. He worked in that house 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Dan never once volunteered my name or said, "I want to save me and Danielle." On February 21, 1965, he was assassinated in New York City.

An online appeal towards Dan's funeral costs had by last night raised 4,188 towards its 5,000 target. I will never vote against Dan. Dan was absolutely the target. There was no way I could somehow make it to a final two without someone. Maybe this is Dan's way of throwing it in some way.". This is really all me getting Spots?". 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. Maybe he was not distracted by having to campaign and do all this stuff because his plan was very elaborate. DAN GHEESLING: I remember feeling like I saw Britney look at me like, "What are you doing? I get another chance to save myself because Frank essentially acted outside of the rules!". How did you feel?" I don't remember how much time elapsed. So many different things were going through my brain. Your only option is to team up with me. Daniel McClellan, age 27 of Dovray, passed away Monday, April 9, 2018 as a result of the car accident. This is the best night of my life. ", BRITNEY HAYNES: This is how stupid I am: I voluntarily go to the Diary Room to ask production to check on Dan, because "Dan is not well, you guys! How could he think that I would ever do that to him? JENN ARROYO: "Do I make a deal with the devil? Prayers or readings I looked at Dan as family. And number three, how is this happening? He loved gatherings, especially tailgates involving Auburn Tigers and Atlanta Falcons football. I remember in interviews people would ask me, "Hey what about the Funeral in the house?" It felt like around three more weeks, but I needed a full answer. These were things I wasn't even worried about. ", DAN GHEESLING: I didn't feel well, but I definitely played it up. It's all part of life. Frank whispered the answer to Britney. He was the puppet-master, she was the puppet. DAN GHEESLING: For me, at that moment it's not time to celebrate. Especially the "You're dead to me" part. Britney's a more dangerous player. It's not as good as the ideal outcome, but it's better than if Dan or Danielle had won, right? Britney is going to probably be voting for me. IAN TERRY: I was just like, "Hey, what the hell is this, man?" I'm just mad and I feel like I blew an opportunity and I'm going home. Dan's won the game. DAN GHEESLING: Britney and I talked a lot about being newlyweds. Did you know? I think I might have been on slop too. This is how I go out." JENN ARROYO: Holy s, it was great! With Lucifer ending, could Ella receive the happy ending she deserves? Her son, Prince Charles, is now officially King Charles III, and the next few days will be filled with. DAN GHEESLING: There's a moment when I see her smirk and the light goes off that we're going to be safe, and that's when I knew everything was fine. In a storyline that never made it onto the show and completely changes the context of what would happen later at the funeral, Dan was furious at Danielle for buzzing in and trying to win, even though he was doing the exact same thing. I didn't take it as gameplay, I took it as an attack and kind of bullying. Then I called Allison. I have a fairly good record with POV wins so I'm thinking it's a great chance obviously now that she and I are both picked. Once all the players had assembled in the living room, Dan emerged wearing almost all black with his Bible. I never want to make someone cry in the game. And as far as the solitary confinement goes, I kept wondering: Is he sting in a bucket in there?

Dan reveals why he was mad at Danielle. DANIELLE MURPHREE: The producers come through the speakers and they're pretty upset. After Jenn got "Clock" (and had to burn her clothes in 90 seconds), Britney got "Shackle" (and had to choose someone Danielle to be shackled to for 24 hours) and Frank got three in a row with "Shower," "Carrot," and "Bench" (agreeing to take a chum shower every time an alarm sounded over 24 hours, to wear a giant carrot costume for a week, and to not participate in his next eligible Head of Household competition), Danielle finally buzzed in with "Spots." And to do a move like that? DANIELLE MURPHREE: I love Jenn, so I was excited. So Joe's locked. I was fine with Jenn winning.

She could've taken Ian to the end, and she was going to get the votes. FRANK EUDY: Dan was kind of a personal nomination for me. The day after Harmontown, inside his shrouded, modestly rambling home in the L.A. suburb of Los Feliz, where the stars rest between podcastscelebrities like Aimee Mann and Kate Micucci are . Dan's such a dick. Seven years later and after watching the season play back how do the jury members feel about their votes now? I wasn't angry. Dan was not the only one who assumed his game was finished as he entered the solitary confinement room. You're trying to will the win, and it's a reaction. At 6.30am on the day of the funeral, the Queen's lying in state will end, and in the morning the coffin will be taken in procession from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey for the funeral .

The MCUs tiniest heroes are kicking off its biggest phase yet, setting up the next several years of storytelling. I remember him doing this thing with his eyes, like "I can't focus my eyes because they had strobe lights in there." I would have liked it if she was nominated, so I could just pull her down right away no matter what. He was not going to win. I moved the toilet closer to the door to try to make it smell bad in there, and I remember everyone's cheering and celebrating that I survived, and they're happy to see me or at least giving the illusion they're happy to see me. 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?" "The one and only Jenn City. It was flawless. Dalai Lama mourns loss of his friend. I didn't want to vote for him, but I didn't want to vote for Ian either. DANIELLE MURPHREE: I was devastated. You know when you're playing Charades and you know what the answer is and it's really hard for you to keep your mouth shut? This is so ridiculous. DAN GHEESLING: I thought about trying to cause a fight between two people, but then quickly dismissed that because it seemed so desperate and obvious of a play. Here's this guy, he's wearing a carrot suit, taking a bath, gave up two HOHs and regardless of that he's still considering working with me? I'm not a good loser at any game for a lot of reasons. Did I need that? Entertainment Weekly is a registered trademark of Meredith Corporation All Rights Reserved. I started with just calling a house meeting and calling out Danielle, but to me that didn't work out. I don't show my emotions. I think she was so hurt and betrayed by the fact that I knew that she was going to go on the block. And that fury manifested itself once Danielle had to allow her fellow contestants to throw paint at her two minutes as her punishment: DANIELLE MURPHREE: I got "Spots" right, and Dan was so pissed off at me. You know, there's something that I want to read to you upstairs and apologize face to face to you in private. Do I agree with everything he did? DANILLE MURPHREE is a surgical ICU nurse in Dallas, having moved to Texas in 2017 after living in Alabama and Seattle. FRANK EUDY: He came out just acting like he had had some "come to Jesus" moment in the room. It's just something I got to live with. At that point, I can say, "Yeah, sure," but he knows there's no way I could convince them that that was going to be the case. There's a moment when you're sitting in that seat and you have votes counted. You give it your all. And it made me question Britney at that point. Then I see Ian start to figure it out. JENN ARROYO: I voted for Ian because I thought, "Damn, this kid is beating out a legend in the game." He would've gotten very protective. Would it have mattered? I remember staring at the picture and, it was on the tip of my tongue.

", JENN ARROYO: I was like, what? My thing about Big Brother is I'll play hard, but I don't want to make people feel bad, and I feel like that's one time where I made her genuinely feel bad. Think about your best friend saying something horrific to you, not wanting to hear your side of it, and knowing that you had done nothing besides protect him the entire time. And you singlehandedly made this experience for me.". FRANK EUDY: Ian was so mad at me for sending Britney home because he thought the same thing, that when Britney went home, that he couldn't win.
