BB14: If It Quacks Like a Duck

At 11:30 AM PST, the feeds went to trivia, signalling the beginning of the PoV Ceremony. The plan devised by Dan and Frank and agreed to by Jenn and Danielle is to have Jenn use the Veto, take Dan down, and Frank will replace him with Britney.

The question is, when can Ian use this veto and for how long is it valid? We shall see! I will be updating the results and aftermath here! For the important events leading up to the ceremony, check out the previous post!


12:35 PM: Feeds back. Britney has been nominated. Frank is putting Ian on blast. Britney says that she's obviously going home to get back at Ian. It escalates to the point where Frank tells Ian to get the eff out.


Britney joins Dan in the Arcade Room to ask him if she's the target. Dan says he doesn't know. Britney says that he's being so cold. At the same time, Frank and Jenn are working on Shane. Britney then goes to HoH. Shane leaves. Frank tells her that she's in this position because she was working against him this whole time while pretending to be with him.


Britney breaks down. She says she wants to fight to stay here; if she can stay, she will work with them. Meanwhile, Shane confirms to Danielle that he will be voting Britney out. Britney is very emotional, saying her Jury vote will be also based on how people treat each other. She's hurt that Dan didn't even look at her when she asked him earlier. At the same time, Ian is HEATED, he wants that "mofo" (Frank) out of the game in the next two weeks. He vows revenge.


Joe pulls Shane into the Kicks Room, saying he's not sure he can trust Ian. This is a tune he's been singing for weeks. Shane pretends to Joe that he doesn't know which way to vote. Joe says it's his decision but he will vote with him. Frank and Dan confer briefly exchanging conversations with Britney.


12:57 PM: Ian and Frank get into a screaming match. Ian says he doesn't get what he's doing. Frank calls him sneaky, saying it was easy to for him to get rid of Mike. Ian gives as good as he gets. They each air out a whole season of grievances on both sides. F bombs everywhere. Ian tells him that he was going to work with him but now he's out. For those of you worrying about Ian, don't. The kid can sure put the loudest talker on BLAST!


1:07 PM: While Britney is inconsolable in the living room and Frank is explaining what's happened to Joe in the Arcade Room, Dan sees sky writing outside... "We ♥ Britney/Dani." (not sure which)  And Button Boy intervenes.


1:13 PM: This has nothing to do with game, but it is heartbreaking. Britney tells her not to trust Jenn, to keep Shane and Ian close. She emphasizes that Danielle can beat Dan at anything, that she needs to study every day.


1:19 PM: Dan and Shane connect. Shane says that he's with Dan and hopes he can trust him. Dan says he meant everything he said about Shane in his speech. Shane says he's in a difficult situation but he will roll with the plan. Dan says it's too bad Britney is going to pay for what Ian did, adding that he refused to own up to what he did. Shane is worried that Dan has an agreement with Frank. Dan says thet will talk later, more privately.


Britney, ever the funny one, starts cracking jokes, saying she didn't want to pull a Janelle, but could they have at least told her to fix her hair? She says she looks "like a blow fish that was kicked in the face." She tells her husband and family to calm down, that she will be fine. Meanwhile Dan goes upstairs and he gives Jenn a hug. They catch up on what's been told to Shane (namely Dan is still the target but Ian is first.)

1:29 PM: Britney joins Ian outside. He tells her that he plan is for them to go after Frank immediately. He says she has his vote and that she should stay in the house since Frank wants her gone. Meanwhile Shane and Danielle are talking how they can't trust Dan or Frank and certainly cannot beat them in the end. Dan comes in to see if Danielle is okay and she's short with him. When he leaves she asks why he's being nice to her all of a sudden. Concurrently, Joe promises his vote to Britney, after he promised her would vote the way Shane would. Imma call Joe, Stir-fry from now on.

1:36 PM: Dan finds Danielle alone and says "Told you I would get you to the end. You have the least target in the house right now." She smiles and leaves.

1:40 PM: After Frank attempts to bait Ian who doesn't take the bait, everything  settles in the house, for now. Most of them are laying out in the sun and Ian is rocking the hammock and the Guiness...


1:50 PM: Dan and Danielle find themselves alone. Dan asks if she's upset that Britney is leaving and she replies yes but it's not me. Dan says that it's good she's acting upset with him, that the others won't know they are still working together. He tells her, he's open book with her and will remain so throughout the game. He asks her if she's 100% sure she has Shane's vote. She says yes. He gets her a a nice cold beverage with ice.


4:01 PM: Nothing much new to report except Britney has gone from sadness, to a sense of betray (because Dan wouldn't just shut up and allow himself to be booted out of the house), to now anger. Britney is going through the 5 Stages of  Blindside Eviction.


6:09 PM: Britney reaches acceptance. She realizes that Dan did not do this to go against him; that it was a game move and a smart one at that. She acknowledges that she made mistakes and tried to make too many moves that brought her here. She's crying. Dan says that he genuinely likes her and that everything he's said to her, on a personal level, are true. Britney says that she doesn't want to give up but she doesn't want to take away Danielle's one shot at it. She came into the game as a coach and wants to stay that way. Dan says that this shows what a type of person she is, one with integrity, unlike him who has done things he knows he will regret. He boosts her flagging confidence by saying that she outlasted Janelle and Mike. She apologizes to Dan for the things she said about him earlier and he says that he wished he heard it, knowing that it was probably very funny.

I will update any new or important developments, otherwise, it's break time!

Stay tuned! :)
