Some of you people are giving Dan far more credit than he deserves!
All he's done is been a very convincing liar to mostly less than brilliant people.
In Big Brother one of the most important things can be finding fellow competitors who you can trust and work with and when someone is willing to promise and swear on their family members and the bible (seems like a lot of Americans believe the bible/God is for real

) then honest people tend to want to believe them.
Congratulations for excelling in the lying department Dan. Such a fantastic talent for a coach of young children to possess!
Dan, Dan the lying man!
