He might just have said that to mess with Victor's mind - he knows Victor is trying to figure his rivals out, to choose who he's going to nominate next.
Dan has always said he doesn't want to win - he went in the house to get media exposure instead (which is what they all want). He knows that there's no guarantee that the winner will have the best career afterwards - the only one who this has happened to has been Brian Dowling, and that was because of his personality. Saying that he wants to be in the final week, however - it still means he'll get exposure, but will avoid the nearly inevitable "poisoned chalice" of the winner.
I think he's being very clever there
