Last night, Dan was talking to himself in the kitchen "My best move is to throw HOH to Ian. If I win, my conscience will not allow me to not take Danielle. Yes, I know it's surprising that I do have a conscience." Dan is quite aware of how he is percieved.
If Dan throws Pt 3 to Ian, he's an idiot IMO. As Dan stated to Shane in his eviction speech, he's got blood on his hands up to his elbows...what's one more cut at the end?
Ian was already rockin' in the hammock last night figuring out his speech to the jury....
"I gave you a trip to Maui that I could have given to my mother and father"
He will tell them it just made mathematical sense to split into 2 & 2 once QP got to final 4.
That he never held it against Shane and Danielle for being a couple.
He's gonna use "mathematical sense" and "based on statistics" to further his cause.
He will bring up the Frank/Ashley issue. (THIS will get ugly if he goes in that direction)
He kept saying, "I made a big move" over and over. "I didn't throw any of y'all under the bus" "I fought to be in this game"
The only "big moves" Ian made are the ones Dan orchestrated....Everyone fought to be in this game....well, except Jenn, who basically gave up in the end...and Ian's throwing comps is in no way fighting to be in the game, IMO. I'd have to go back and read, but I'm sure Ian threw plenty of jury members under the bus, he just doesn't see it that way.
Ian's ego and sense of entitlement might lose him jury votes in the end.
I don't think Dan will allow any opportunity for Ian and Dani to be alone before Pt 3 takes place. Dan won't risk Dani telling Ian about their F2 deal, or the plan to get the coach/player to the end.
Dani doesn't deserve to be in the F2, but that should be the 'deal' Dan honors in the end.
