BB10--Team Dan is officially my favorite contestant...?

Question

Team Dan vs Team Keesha.

This one was a hard decision for me as I like both, however,

After Last night's show, Dan has officially become my favorite character. I just really like his strategy and the way he is playing this game. He is actually in 2 man alliance, and he puts his own team member up for eviction. Who will then think He and Memphis are in an alliance. Not only that but he is out thinking Ollie. Ollie thinks he is the HOH without the title. He can suggest things to Dan, but if Dan doesn't want to listen, he doesn't have to or can even backdoor

Ollie AND if he does listen to Ollie and Blames Ollie for everything then the target is on Ollie's back, not Dan's.

Man, that guy is good.

Answer 1

yes, it does seem that he has his bases covered. I just hope it doesn't come back and bite him.  I like Memphis, have since day one, and I hope this doesn't get him kicked out.  I think that his "secret" alliance with Keesha and Renny is a good plan, so if Memphis does get evicted, he has that to fall back on.  I was worried at first, when he put Memphis up, but the more I think about it, the more I see his reasoning.  

Answer 2

What if he does not keep his word to Ollie

What if he gets Michelle or Ollie out, if the POV is used

will he still be your favorite

Ollie broke the deal by tell Michelle and Jerry

Part of the deal was, not to tell any one, he broke that before they went to bed thursday

Answer 3

You make some good points.  The only one I disagree with is the "blame Ollie" strategy.  Sure, Dan can say, "Sorry, the only reason I'm putting you up is because I have to keep my word to Ollie."  But as Memphis has already shown, that's not going to work.  Memphis blames Dan for making a bad deal with Ollie, not Ollie for wanting Memphis on the block.  Everybody already knew that Ollie would target either Memphis or Keesha, so in making the deal, Dan had to know he was putting those two in harm's way.

So, now if Memphis or Jerry wins POV, whoever Dan puts up, even though it's Ollie's pick, is going to blame Dan just as much, if not more, than Ollie.  Worst case for Dan:  Memphis wins POV, Ollie makes him nominate Keesha, and then Jerry goes home.  Both Memphis and Keesha will still be in the house and they will be PISSED at Dan.

Dan's best move might be to backdoor Ollie if the POV is used, but I think Memphis is already too mad.  Plus, if Ollie goes up against Memphis, the votes are there for Memphis to be evicted:  Renny, Jerry, and Michelle.  Now, if Ollie goes up against Jerry, it could go either way.  Memphis and Keesha may see this as an opportunity to get rid of Ollie, and keep Jerry one more week.

Answer 4

The only thing I hate about the whole alliances deal with Dan is he is every limited as to who he can put up and send home.  He is going to make an enemy no matter who goes home unless it is Jerry and then nobody really cares. I really like Dan though. I don't think he will back door Ollie.  It doesn't seem like it is in his nature.  He has pretty much been trustworthy.  His vote was America's vote and not his own.
