Dan is the best player of BB of all times, srsly, how often do you see someone survives with basically one foot out of the door? With a fr*king genius Funeral?

[@ryans413]

He has a perfect run made it to the end twice and won once that’s pretty successful. He dosnt need too come back I do t want his amazing run to be destroyed. If he did come back I’d be so nervous if he could pull it off again

[@awesomeaustenkitty]

@@ryans413 but imagine if he did xo I wouldn’t be too surprised tbh

[@evansullivanrichgels5531]

@@awesomeaustenkitty Well, with Cirie pulling it off this season so far it makes me think he might have a chance at it again.

[@Oreox4]

the craziest part about his gameplay is that he got himself out of a terrible position two different times in two different seasons. he was the house target after brian in bb10

[@robertjuarez3489]

I think Dan is the greatest, should be the only 2 time winner.. Bitter jury.. This guys season 14 game is legendary!!

This dude should be the only 2 time winner... His BB14 game was fucking masterful

[@josesena6416]

I actually agree with Dan saying that people rather YOU get to know THEM rather then they get to know you. It's not just in Big Brother, even at jobs. Bosses don't open up because it's "policy" but really it's so they can know you and see how you work, so when shit hits the fans they will either believe you or not based on how you act and not what you say. I've always said in BB, you have to be a good talker but good listener. He also hit the nail on the head, many don't see it as a game and get bitter. I will NEVER get mad over BB though. It's life changing money, you gotta do what you gotta do and if you bring PERSONAL morals onto BB then the game isn't for you. There are 15 to 16 targets in that house on Day 1 but only one is the winner and only one is the runner up.

[@ryans413]

Very powerful no ones going to do anything for you if they don’t care about you. That’s very true

This is great! I've never been able to find an interview with Dan talking about BB strategy. Is the entire interview available anywhere?

[@KNIGHTMAREMANIAC]

I don't know where the full interview is, but Dan doesn't like to talk about BB nowadays. He thinks he's talked about it enough and frankly he isn't proud of how he used his gregarious nature to manipulate others.
