Okay, after watching last night, here is my take on it.
Dani did NOT try to throw it. She really wanted to win, so that there was no chance of Ian in F3. Dan was worried that she could talk Ian into taking her to F3 over him if he wins the next part, so he told her that if she loses, she should act mad at Ian. Dan does NOT want to evict either of them, but he totally wants to be in F2, and he is now thinking that he will throw part 3 to Ian, so Ian will evict Danielle. I think Ian got to Dan last night with his excitement and gratitude that he feels he will win at least 50,000 to pay off school and help his folks.
I think over the next few days, Danielle will pull herself together and work on Ian, but I don't see him changing. He is too focused on the Renegades 2.0, like he was on the QP.
Should be a very uncomfortable few days. I am so glad he got his hammock back
