I think deep down he's known all along but didn't want to say anything to Sam and Sophie. I noticed he looked down and has not been himself since they chose him.

Kizzy · 25-07-2013, 01:03 AM

Yep I thought the same thing

Because he always covers all bases.
In this instance he has a 50:50 chance of being right.
On day he says he is up for exiction and another day he says they might be safe.
So he is either safe or not.
He doesn't believe anything because he is looking for clues. The rest of the housemates just go with the flow.

He said something to that effect while they were still live to the house, along the lines of "what if it's a twist". As for tonight, at least 3 people mentioned the DR asking them how they thought Dan was dealing with his place in the rate the hm's lineup, and how odd it was that they were asked about Dan of all the people (as opposed to Hazel in last or Gina in first). If he caught wind of that, it probably bolstered his suspicions.

I agree. I noticed that too.

Have they had a proper red herring of nominations and a smokescreen list of who is supposed to be up?

Yes, I would like to see everything he's suspicious about so we'd know how many times he's wrong as well. His suspicions have really made him go to the background and we are only seeing his suspicious side now, nothing bubbly about Dan anymore.

He has, there has been a marked change of his mood since they chose him.

Far more subdued,I put it down to maybe he just enjoyed the space he had set himself in the main house and possibly Sam and Sophie were not the people he would have really been elated to be in the safe house with.

However ,when he said that last night,I felt as you did, that thought has maybe been gnawing at him since it was done.
He has looked very pre-occupied most of the time we have seen him since going in the safe house.

this a 100 per cent, he knew the instant he was chosen, that he was up!

I think the change in Dan has happened a lot earlier. His downfall in my eyes is that he cannot let go of his suspicions. There's a lot about him that I like and I really feel he is a trustworthy person but with his suspicions, he's like a dog with a bone.

Suze · 25-07-2013, 08:28 AM

Dan puts a load of theories out there so one is bound to be right. Just because of his Police background, it is picked up on more than the other housemates saying such. Dexter made a point about the safe house being a kind of poisoned chalice first. As for Dan looking down, well wouldn't some of you if you were stuck in there with the dullards Sophie and Sam.

He is, it is not a fault necessarily but it is the way he is and has been in his previous job.
I relate to him because I am like a dog with a bone if I get a fixed thought or idea or susoicion too.
So if I was to moan at Dan for that,I would have to moan at myself too,or be hypocritical because I am just like him, I won't just leave things that niggle away at me and I go on and on about them.

Here are the cold, hard facts:

Calling BB "secrets and lies" meant that hm's were automatically going to be more skeptical of happenings. This was a huge mistake.

They have so many twists this series, that it's really not detective work to question absolutely everything that happens.

Dan is basically cold-reading the house - he throws so may theories out there, that people only remember the hits and forget the misses. Just like psychics.

Throw enough mud, and some of it will stick.

I know how you feel. I'm a suspicious person by nature but I also know it's my downfall and because of it I miss out on many kinds of things in life.

I do that

Plenty of people have raised suspicions about the safe house and immunity, someone said it other than Dan on the night Sophie and Sam were picked I think it might have been the Twins, Dexter has referred to the safe house not being so safe, Sophie mentioned something when she went into the safe house as well about hoping they were really immune, so obviously it has been discussed in the group, but Dan's DR is the only one that sticks in the mind as it is face to face with BB, so I guess that makes the Twins, Dexter and Sophie quite bright as well.
