I'm dressed in all black for a reason. "You know, Shane is walking, living proof that there actually is a Captain America. I didn't know Dan had this in him." I just remember being like, "Oh, my God, Dan is not well! BRITNEY HAYNES: It was amazing. We would like to show you a description here but the site won't allow us. We don't need to get into it now, but in this game you'll never earn my trust back. DANILLE MURPHREE is a surgical ICU nurse in Dallas, having moved to Texas in 2017 after living in Alabama and Seattle. I really started with me wanting to take a shot at Danielle because I was angry. So, there's still a good chanceBig Brother fanscould look forward to seeing the all-time great play again in the future. But the fact that we've never spoken breaks my heart. If there's gonna be some really important and tough fairness calls to make here, we do make sure that everyone that needs to be consulted is consulted, and that we ultimately agree that we're making the right decision. 3 (Week 7, Day 68, & Week 10) Past winners Dan Gheesling and Mike "Boogie" Malin along with fan favorites Britney Haynes and Janelle Pierzina were originally in the house to pick teams and then claim a $100,000 prize if one of their players ended up winning the season. I was thinking, "He's trying to make me look bad, so he stays.". It was awesome. I'm going to stay true to who I am. I also wanted to hit her emotional button to maybe make her cry more. It is what it is. So I threw the kid my vote. I absolutely would. I was shocked. He develops recipes and does demonstration food cooking across the United States. Should I let her?" The only two choices left are [Joe Arvin] and [Jenn City Arroryo], and we'd have the votes to just vote them out regardless. He would've gotten very protective. He was like, "How could you vote for somebody that did that to me?". 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. They were already thinking about next week and just going through the motions thinking, "Dan's going home, he's finally leaving the house." It was his HOH. And he definitely did not have a plan at that moment. We had a really close friendship. Obviously, I had seen the relationship between Britney and Ian get closer over the last few weeks and I was a little uncomfortable with it. After starting in Reality TV Features, she moved to Reality TV News in early 2021. Are her and Frank working together? When Joe said, "I wouldn't piss on him if he's on fire," that was the moment where I said, "This is the person I need to go to the end with." That was my thought process, because I needed another ride along in this. DAN GHEESLING: The first couple of hours in there I remember thinking something ridiculous like, "Oh, maybe there's a hidden Veto in the cake, so let me tear through this entire cake." I was like, "Well, a fing nuclear bomb is about to hit this place and I can't wait to fing pull the pin.". Britney's a more dangerous player. Re-watch Ian's speech. It's the most epic moment in the history of Big Brother. Yeah, it felt great to pull that pin and fing drop that bomb. All the latest gaming news, game reviews and trailers. Dan Gheesling. I let myself down, my family down, and now I've got to go into solitary confinement and that's my worst fear.". Some other questionable things happened. DAN GHEESLING: I remember walking out of there feeling like, "Dan, you did everything you could. That was a direct invitation because I know what's about to happen. DAN GHEESLING: I mean, I'm desperate. This is the best night of my life. I had no idea that it would burn that many people. No one even thought that something like that would happen. It was something that made me relatable to Joe and made Joe feel I was being genuine. It's not like he's going to walk out the door and there are people with machetes just waiting to cut him up, put him on a grill, and serve him. 0 Dan's wife, Chelsea, is successful in her own right. Back in 2008, Gheesling, then a 25-year old Catholic school teacher from Dearborn, Mich., won half a million dollars on Season 10 of Big Brother where he was under constant surveillance as a . What's my best strategy at this point? We're still good to go.". He was insinuating that these lights messed with his eyes, and that he was in pain, or he was messed up. Dan Gheesling first competed on Big Brother 10, where he formed the Renegades alliance with Memphis Garrett and took home the $500,000 grand prize. He's an apple polisher. And he got the reaction that he wanted. You're such a good dude. While the other players were already making plans for life in the house without Dan, inside the solitary confinement room, a diabolical scheme was beginning to take shape. But, yes, it's very hard to vote for someone that was the reason you left the game that you potentially could have won. I can win Veto.". And she was like, "Well, I wanted to be a woman of my word." A significant moment in his post-Big Brother career was in 2018, when he was the first person to interview the UltimaOnline player known as StraightStupid. SHANE MEANEY: It was bad, but God has a plan and maybe I had to go through something to learn something. Shane was very Captain America. But obviously one of us had to win veto. 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. When I find out he doesn't know, then I'm like, "Well, maybe we've got a shot." I got it. Do I think this is going to work? ", DAN GHEESLING and his wife Chelsea have two sons Desmond (3) and Miles (1). That wasn't a first-time occurrence of something along those lines happening. It was like a double-edged sword. FRANK EUDY: I'm as confident almost as if I had won because I knew that she didn't have anybody else in the house either, and she had already come to me and was like, "I guess I'm with you." And so were the players and producers. But they say to expect the unexpected, and I didn't expect what was to come, for sure. 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. He also enjoys watching football. DAN GHEESLING: The whole plan was to cause chaos and to get myself in a position to survive. Just days into season 10, Dan watched his closest ally, Brian Hart, get voted out of the game, with only Dan voting to keep him,. Give me a break. But then I was like, "Okay, Danielle, control it. It must have hit me late, but I just wanted to have something to symbolize the death of me as a player to everyone to say, "Hey, look, he's really done playing the game and he just wants to enjoy his time here. He doesn't think that America would have been ready for a female president and if Hillary Clinton had won the presidency, he would have moved out of the country. He came out, he's pacing, he goes to the bathroom, does something else, and he's like, "Hey, I want to talk to everybody. For me, if I'm going to have to go out and lose my second time playing Big Brother, I'm glad that I went out on something so iconic and memorable, versus just being any other old boot. Dan did get the next question right by answering "Trip," but the punishment that accompanied it and would later prove crucial was that he would have to endure a 24-hour solitary confinement dance party after the Veto competition was over. DAN GHEESLING: I knew the number one thing I had to do was let her know that I was still looking out for her. Or maybe he got a power trip off of it, or it made him feel like the bigger guy or something to see how much I cared for him. I'm really upset at this point because I'm now pissed off because you're putting my relationship in danger. JENN ARROYO: Britney definitely sticks out to me the most, because I feel like she may have even had a box of tissues with her or something. I really wanted to hit him with a pillow. To be honest, I don't know for sure that he was trying to cheat. I don't know about the general consensus of the people that are on r/bigbrother, but on twitter, facebook, (etc.) I knew she was building up and waiting for the compliment like, "Hey, you're my ride or die. I just wanted to reiterate to him, "Hey, we're friends," and boost the ego a little bit. SHANE MEANEY: She didn't disclose a lot of stuff to me. I know that he's the target. I wanted to make sure she got every piece of that punishment. DAN GHEESLING: I haven't thought about this really ever since it happened, but I can remember distinctly getting a weird social read off of everyone in the alliance. His ideal romantic partner will be caring, hot, have dark hair and skin and be exotic looking. BRITNEY HAYNES: Ian was fan of the game, having seen Dan's season. Each game is a compeltely different game. I think I might have been on slop too. I was already outside, I was ready to go, I was feeling the feeling, baby. ", DAN GHEESLING: Shane fulfilled a certain role in the house. 2 (Weeks 2 & 8) It's not like much thought went into that, because there wasn't really much time. In "Big Brother 14," he orchestrated one of the most famous game moves in history. Did it hurt me in the end? I was like, "Aww, Dan's saying goodbye to everybody." If I throw it and I'm still up there, you have to vote for me to stay." ", With an upset Frank now telling Dan he wanted the duplicitous Ian out but Ian being safe because of the Pandora's Box Veto Dan swooped in with an alternative: "This is my pitch to you. Teacher I remember him doing this thing with his eyes, like "I can't focus my eyes because they had strobe lights in there." This is such a teachable moment for the social game, in general, because he would spend hours, days, and weeks in the backyard talking to each one of us individually, one on one. And then I started questioning everything: "Okay, that doesn't make sense. At that point, I have no power. Frank messes up and I get another chance to go head-to-head against Jenn, and I lose to Jenn who hasn't won anything. It was not. Both he and Memphis stayed in control for the rest of the game and made it to the Final Two where Dan would win in a unanimous 7-0 vote. After convincing both Ian and Danielle to throw the first part of the final HOH competition, Dan advanced straight to part three, where he lost to Ian. He put in the time. But I thought about it and I wasn't against the idea of Britney going home, only because I was very much into making Ian weak. Danielle was a very smart player. BRITNEY HAYNES: Frankly, at the end of the day, I knew Dan Gheesling was not going to win Big Brother 14. A clear rule violation." Facebook I didn't think anything would ever distract Frank from his number one target, which was Dan, and I didn't even see it as being a possibility. SHANE MEANEY: I started to tear up. Shane got burned horribly. It was "Fold" or "Stay," and I was looking at Mike in the stands, and he was telling me what to do. You're not dying. Dan married Chelsea Niemiec on July 2, 2011. I see Britney's mouth drop and Ian's like "No! DAN GHEESLING: I remember feeling like I saw Britney look at me like, "What are you doing? He is conservative and not a fan of liberals. I'm sure they had to make it less blatant for the purpose of television, but it was blatant. Stop crying, Britney.". DAN GHEESLING: I talk about wrapping a lie in truth. It's so sad how dumb I was though. And in that moment when Dan shook his head, there was something very unlikeable about Dan. I was like, "Maybe he went into solitary confinement and feels bad that he was screwing us all over. 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." Now Frank's actually making the correct move, which is frustrating to me. SHANE MEANEY: I don't think Ian saw it. And then, the bizarre happened. He didn't have to be a phony and have little conversations with people. I feel like we connected and related around that point, so it was just the same thing of bringing up something nonthreatening that we both enjoyed talking about. He is famous for being a Reality Star. Twitter He is the first player and only winner to make it to the Final Two twice. With only one question left, Frank had the lead with 22 points with Dan in second at 13. P.S. I knew she'd be upset, but I didn't know the ripple effect it would have on everyone else in the house. I've never been one for pageantry, so he's just up there, kind of patting himself on the back for saying good things, and sing everyone else's deal along the way. We're going head to head the whole game as competitors. Dan was going to throw it so that we could carry out this plan. I did try. He has so much pride in this game and the fact that he came back. Even though he's winning the game, he was willing to risk breaking the rules, hoping that he didn't get caught to try and further ensure Dan leaving, which makes what happened later even more incredible. Oh, Danielle, no water in the cup." [1] Contents 1 Career 2 Personal life 2.2K. I'm going to follow it through." I did something early on. IAN TERRY: I wasn't happy about it, to be honest, and the reason is that I already had the Veto in hand, and we didn't really know how the Veto ceremony was going to work. I think he really had that whole thing planned out as far as his body language and how he was when he came out of that room in order to get us into a room to sit down to talk to us all. He had a lot of HOHs, he had some POVs, he played both sides. Veto Wins They both won three HOHs on their first seasons, including the Final HOH. 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. I remember I came in third place, and I threw this massive tantrum in front of everybody. Even when you know Dan and you know what he's capable of and how he works and how he maneuvers, you still want to believe him. He coached his football team to a state championship, got married and penned two books with a third on the way. We ended up being surprised at what we learned. I really care about other people. He returned in Big Brother 14 as a Coach, but he along with the other coaches returned to the game at the end of Week 3. And I didn't let him. I'm like, "Yes! After Jenn used the Veto on Dan, it was Frank's turn to address the house and name his replacement nominee. Born Serendipity lines up to give me the one thing I don't want at this point. Frank whispered the answer to Britney. There was a lot of truth to that. I'm just not good at improvising in a situation like that. DANIELLE MURPHREE: Dan and I have still not seen each other since we were on the CBS lot at finale night seven years ago. He is conservative and not a fan of liberals. She was in a bad place and I just kind of wanted to be there as a friend for her. I'm like, "Poor Dan, what a guy. BRITNEY HAYNES: He knows me, and he knows how emotional I am. But I was playing a game too, and I still needed to win that money. I would rather you lose to bitterness then to, "Hey, we don't want him to win twice." I could trust you through thick or thin." After coaching his team to victory this summer, the Michigan native is looking forward to being considered the best player to ever play this game.[2]. I cannot go against Dan." He knows the buttons to push. He's also become a family man. I mean, obviously it wasn't what we wanted. He attended Divine Child High School and earned . But then I was also kind of scared. DAN GHEESLING: It's almost like you're playing a game of Clue and you know the murderer and you know who's about to get murdered, and you know you're going to win. JOE ARVIN: One of the biggest reasons that I heard amongst the Jury to not give it to Dan in the room wasn't bitterness it was that he had already won the game. He did. Your only option is to team up with me. Because I knew people had underestimated me. He was her coach! Oh my God, I'm sick just thinking about it. JENN ARROYO: People were mega-pissed at him. DANIELLE MURPHREE: I was devastated. There's a couple things I've said about you I'm not proud of. The main question I get asked still today is, "What do you think of his funeral?" SHANE MEANEY: Danielle's mouth was open, and she started crying. DAN GHEESLING: I remember seeing Jenn's vote and being like, "All right, I got no shot now." He's throwing paint, and even after they stopped, Dan is throwing full things of paint in my mouth. 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? Danielle MurphreeKara Monaco Ian Terry 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. I couldn't believe how gullible the house was. S, Shane's crying! We will try to find the right answer to this particular crossword clue. You know what you did, and in this game, you are dead to me. I can't throw the comp." So my dad was afraid to come because he would've confronted and gotten into a verbal altercation, and knew that he couldn't be in that situation. Status BRITNEY HAYNES: This is when we decide we can carry out the plan. I almost think it was that type of a situation. Britney was eventually voted out by the house (receiving only Ian's vote to stay), followed in order by Frank, Joe, and Jenn. Frank was duped a couple of times by Dan and had wanted him out, and then got got by him basically. I was just a shoulder to cry on and ear to listen to at this point. DANIELLE MURPHREE: I was just like, "Are you serious? Next: Big Brother: The 10 Best Veto Plays In Series History. We were supposed to ride to the end. RICH MEEHAN: We knew he was in major, major trouble. ", DANIELLE MURPHREE: I was devastated. I fear nothing in Big Brother at all, but that was one thing I truly feared. As she paused to consider the correct response, Frank whispered the word "Summer" to her. And I just stood there and took the heat. Coincidentally, during their second respective finales, both Dan and Paul repeated the outfits they wore the first time. It was on the tip of my tongue. It still hurts me. I really appreciate it.". On day 68. Well, it appears as if the couple is expanding the family after revealing that they are expecting their third child! This moment in this funeral is where all of that paid off for him and came into play, because he knows each person's individual weakness or what strings to pull.
