I’ve shared hundreds of posts over the summer, but this is the one you HAVE TO READ.
Click HERE for a reflection from Kelly, Dan’s sister. She gives an honest account of what it’s like to have a loved-one on this crazy show called Big Brother.
And I will reiterate what Kelly so eloquently states. WE ARE SO PROUD.

I am right now not only on the feeds but watching one of the last nights of BB after Dark. I have been watching BB since 2001. I watched your season and liked you alot, was rooting for you and very glad you won. What you have done on BB14 is nothing short of amazing. I mean what are the odds you would make it that far? Right now it is Sept. 17 around 12:45 a.m. So you guys have only a few days left. DAN I sure hope you find a way to put Danielle up with Ian, and just have the glory of being the best coach on the game. OH, and that little thing of winning the entire game and getting 500,000 4 years ago…;). You really need to end the game classy, non-greedy and well-intentioned. You have said things in the D.R .that indicate that you are trying to win the game yourself….which is isn’t really good at all for your image, but may end up being very good for your pocket book. Even though you said things in the D.R. (especially at the end that indicated that you are definitely out to get to the final two and throw Danielle under the proberbial bus) YOU CAN STILL REDEEM YOURSELF…..and that is what I hope you do. Even if it somehow ends up with you winning the $50,000 or $25,000 then you are a double winner! You would be a SUPER -STAR coach of all time. Plus your wife will be SO PROUD. You will, I am sure, be proud of yourself too…..and you can go home with your head held high and money in your pocket. Even if you get no money in the game, you still get the stipend. I MEAN you did already win once, and knowing what I know about your personality, I am sure you still have a good chunk of the money left, and invested it.!!
Anyway, good job, and I cannot believe the things you pulled off in that house! IT WAS UNREAL.
BTW….I just absolutley LOVED Britney. She has just matured SO much, she is SO witty, funny and intertaining. The fact that she quit her job will probably end up not hurting her at all, but probably helping her. Because I, personally think she can make lots of appearances and make a shit-load of cash. What I think she should do is go be a stand-up comic. I mean this girl is EFFING FUNNY!!!! HAHAHAH….The 30 minute pooper with a2-wipe, non-look at the tp. LMAO She was more entertaining than everyone in there. Mike was kinda a bitch -ass all the way around and I didn’t care as much for him as I did the first 2 times he played. Janelle was extremely disappointing, weird, and psycho. I think she may be mentally disturbed. I liked her in ALL- STARS the most, same with Mike. …..not sure what happened with those two. I am pretty sure I know the answer. Mike is already drowning in money, success and friends in high places. And I don’t follow any of your personal lives, (in fact I forget the name of Janelle’s husband and have no idea what he does for a living) but what I am assumng is that she married him mainly for money. Quite sure she would be the gold-digger type. ugh, gross. I could be wrong…..this is just an assumtion on my part. But I basically think that Boogie and Janelle, just did not care much if they got far in the game…and if they weren’t going to see themselves getting to at least the final 4 they wanted to make sure they were not in the jury.
WELL thanks for an entertaining season Dan. I hope Ian or Danielle win. and you get the $25,000! Good luck with future endeavors and you and Chelsea have a great life together, I just know it. Hey, one more thing, if you are able to give me any clues as to how I can get on the BB show, let me know please.

Christi, get his book! It will help you get on the show. It helped Ian.
Wow. Are you on vicoden? Forget all that rambling DG! Win that 500k and be the first 1M winner of BB. You played the best game of anyone ever and deserve it.
Christy ,
Get the books Ian and Ashley read them and I think Frank too . Good luck on the show . Hope you do a shout out to Dan for helping you get there . Dan also offers one on one coaching . I would go for it . I know people that have tried 6 times that didnt make it because they were not a model or a VIP Waitress. She is cute and smart .The average person is going to need some help . This year she bought the book and the race is on . Only 14 can get on the show .
I am a big fan of Dan’s. He has played the game fantastic. So glad he is in the final 3 hope that he will be the last one standing. He so deserves it.
Chelsea- I want to say something just for you. I think you’ve done an amazing job interacting with the fans and sharing all the fun things Dan left for us. Dan has played an amazing game this season and I’ve loved watching every minute. As a huge fan of his since Season 10, I’ve followed his site and twitter account for awhile now. I was among many who received a free copy of his first book. All experiences I’ve had here & on Twitter have proved to me that Dan is an kind, caring, fun and motivated person. I follow a lot of the BB spoiler sites, and there have been many opinions on Dan and his game this season. I just want to say, as a huge fan of the show, I believe nothing he has said or done inside the BB house reflects who he is a person outside the house. This blog is a good reminder that even though we all have our own opinions, he’s still someone’s husband, father, son. I hope fans haven’t been too harsh to you and your families. Thanks for sharing your husband with us for the summer and sharing such great inside info with us. It’s been a blast!!
Chelsea, did you watch the live feeds last night?
Dan was so funny. He is such a tease! How in the world do you live with him full time? lol You have got to have a lot of patience!
Dan has been a joy to watch, I have enjoyed him so much. Thank you for letting him play BB, and thanks for all your input which I have enjoyed. Have a good time at the finale! No matter what happens, you will get the best award of all – Dan.
Thank you Kelly, I enjoyed reading your comments, very well said!
Dan, I have watched BB from the very first episode and you by far are the best player ever! Good luck, I hope you win! If you don’t it is not because you didn’t play an amazing game, it is because of sore losers in the jury. Good luck and God Bless!
Dan is the winner of BB14 in my book. If not for him, it would have been a boring season. The fact that Dan was able to think fast and pull off those unbelievable maneuvers, never before seen on BB, speaks volumes. He was able to combine personality, psychology and wit to go all the way in the game. The only reason he wasn’t awarded the 500K is because he was judged by a jury of sore losers whose egos were too big to make the fair decision. Such a shame! It was unfair to discriminate vs. Dan because he won before, too. He was the best and always will be! CBS/BB need to establish a different jury system. This one is tainted. I suggest that they recruit past BB winners to make this very important decision, because only they understand what it truly means to win BB. They should also let America have a vote. Hope they make some big changes- they need to. Love you, Dan.
Go Dan Go! I want to see Dan win BB14. The guy derserves it, I’m still laughing about the fact that he talked players into taking him OFF the block. lol lol. this guy is smart, he knows how to play the game. I mean the Funeral, Dan had everybody crying in that room, Myself, well I was crying because I was laughing so hard. lol..lol..Give Dan the money and let him go back to his wife and family that it clearly loves. Dan provided great entertainment this season. I have been a fan sinse season one when Eddie won BB1. Last day today for BB14, its on my PVR cant wait to get home after work and find out DAN WON BB14
Well now that BB is coming to an end, I just want to say Dan you are the man.. I mean really. You have to be one of a kind to come up with the things you do to keep in trucking in the game. I wish you luck and happiness. You and Chelsea make a great couple . I think it is time for the season to end so I can get off of the live feeds and get something done . I’ts totally addicting. I am sure that I will go through withdrawls lol. God Bless and Good Luck . Hope you win it all
Dan, you made my summer. Just got over a major surgery and serious illness. you were great! I thought you got robbed. You played the best game. I was glue to BBAD. So sorry you lost, but now I’ll be able to sleep at night.
I have watched BB since season 1 never again so DONE you could stick a fork in me!! They voted personal because they were ALL made to look like fools as they were! Frank really? But IAN and not the best player in the game sooooooooo DONE! It’s a GAME and Dan played it.. wasn’t CandyLand PEOPLE!
You were ROBBED DAN!!!!!

Great game Dan! This was a very interesting season (coming from a fan who’s seen every episode since BB2) in terms of developing the game. You’ve shown that there IS such a thing as TOO MUCH backstabbing. Sometimes the jury just can’t move past it. Since the Big Brother house is a game based on deception, and all the people who enter are aware of that, I don’t think there’s a moral problem with what you’ve done this summer, BUT it probably cost you $450k.
I know you said on the feeds that you don’t ever want to do BB again, but if they ask you to return for an All-Stars 2 with Dr. Will and/or Evel Dick you HAVE to come back! It would be like watching the 92 Dream Team again…except they’d be playing each other!!!
Your strategy is the best this game has ever seen. It was flawless except for the fact that you were just a little too ruthless. If you go back for All-Stars 2, please consider stabbing more people in the FRONT!
Dr. Will is still the best, but you’re damn close. Evel Dick is a distant third.
Hey Dan, and Chelsea!! so… gotta say Dan, u were AMAZING! that was soo much fun to watch this season. my boyfriend has never liked to watch BB with me, and this year, he watched every episode, and only because of you! We voted for you to with the 25,000… darn Frank haha! we both really wanted you to win, since you literally dug yourself out of the drave this season. I cant believe you got both Danielle and Ian to throw the last HOH, seriously! you deserve and emmy for that! lol. I just wanted to say, that I really respect that you did all of this for Chelsea, and you’re family. I think that is the sweetest thing in the world, and you guys are going to have a long happy life together! I am trying out for BB Canada right now, the live auditions are comming on Oct. 14th, so… wish me luck! lol I want to buy you’re book right now, just so i can get really prepared, but unfortunatly i just dont have the cash right now. If I make it on though, I will be thinking about all the different things I seen you pull this year, and I will try to always remember to “leave my heart at the door” Well, I guess thats really all I wanted to say, hope this summer was all you hoped it would be!

Aww, Dan! I am absolutely heart broken that you didn’t win BB14! You are hands down one of the best players to ever play the game and you truly deserved to win. I loved you on Season 10 and this season was even better! My mom and I had SO much fun watching you ( We even watched BB After Dark because of you. ) and I am sad you will not come back for another season ( Although I completely understand why. ). You may have done some things in the game that people do not agree with, but at the end of the day everyone should know you’re a good guy and that you were just doing what you needed to do to win. No one should blame you for doing what you had to do to get as far as you did, but sadly people did. You lost because of bitterness…UGH! Nothing worse than a bitter jury. Ian’s great but it’s still a travesty, as Janelle stated. Anyway, I was kind of upset by how the whole finale went. Everyone in the Quack Pack ( Minus Britney ) seemed really mad/upset with you rather than understanding…which is sad because you all were a tight alliance and it’s disappointing to see it all end on such a negative note ( but nothing was more disappointing than Frank winning the fan favorite vote…What?! Frank? Shocking. I thought America had better taste. I was atleast expecting a Quack Packer to win … I voted for you by the way! ). Oh well, i’m sure everyone will get over it eventually and forgive you ( if they haven’t already ). It is just a game after all.
I wish you all the best Dan! God Bless! :}
i auditioned for the show one year but they never called (that ship has sailed). Still its like social chess – fascinating and addictive to watch. Dan kept the show interesting and suspenseful. I wish they had top prizes for several people on the show – certainly Dan and Brittany. Enjoyed BB After Dark too. I never figured out what the hell his shirt was about (the…u??) but it was reassuring to check in with the gang throughout the summer. Great job Dan. This season cemented that you’re one of the toughest, thinking players in the game as well as one helluva coach. The ninja bandana was a nice touch. Thanks for a great summer and certainly lots to talk about around the water cooler. All the best.
Dan I have watched BB since 2000 and enjoyed the series so much. It has always amazed me how people interact with each other when they are sequestered together. With that being said it was an amazing series and I especially was very fond of Danielle in the house as well. She was very loyal to you and continued her loyalty to the very end. Hopefully there will be another All-Stars series and the viewing public can see you play the game again. God Bless you your beautiful wife and family.
