This was repeated by Ian a few times throughout the night, Dan mentions it just before Ian joins the rest of the QP outside around 11:16 pm, and tells them that production wants him to work with Frank. Of course Button Boy cuts the feeds every time it is mentioned.
Ian repeats this a little later, around 11:30 pm, while Britney and Ian have a quick conference about Frank, how he trusts Britney over Dan or Danielle and listened to her about not nominating Ian. She tells him that Frank wants Dan out but doesn't want to put Shane or her up should the veto be used. They both agree that getting Dan out of the game would not be the worst thing for them. They can pull Danielle in and the rest of the QP can work with Frank. When they move to the hammock, Ian tells her that "they" want her and him to work with Frank. Britney asks, "Why, because it's good for the story?' He verifies that it's the case, that they like Britney and they want to portray Ian as a villain who has seen the light.

When Shane and Danielle have a chance to talk alone, around 12:54 am , they discuss the various upcoming scenarios. Shane is still very much on board with the QP's plan to try to leave only one of them on the block by using both the Veto and the Golden Power Ian won. He wants to win the Veto to take Danielle off the block and Ian take Dan off. He thinks that in the future, the best way to get Frank out is by backdooring him. Shane tells her that should Britney and Danielle be on the block, that he will be siding with Danielle. Though he likes Britney, Danielle has been his closest ally in the game. He reiterates his F2 deal with her.
Later, when Britney and Danielle get a moment to talk alone, around 1:20 am, Britney reveals her distrust of Dan who is saying that he will be throwing the Veto for Britney or Shane, getting Danielle to do the same. Britney doesn't trust that Dan will throw the Veto, leaving Danielle in jeopardy. Danielle doesn't believe this. Britney reveals that Frank made her swear that she nor Shane would use the veto or the other one of them will be put up. Britney adds that she made a deal with Frank to keep her and Shane safe this week. Britney asks Danielle not to tell Dan and that she doesn't want Dan to leave, that she will play as hard as she can because she doesn't want Danielle to go home.
Immediately after their talk, around 1:45 am, Danielle makes a beeline to Dan to tell him what Britney said. Dan tells her that it will be hard to keep the 4 of them safe this week. That in all likelihood one of them is going home. They debate whether they should go ahead with the plan or try to win the veto. Dan says that the only way she won't be safe is if he wins the Veto. This takes her aback, as she told Britney earlier that Dan would use the Veto on her. Danielle is playing with loyalty despite the many times Dan told her she needs to be cut throat. Danielle tells him that he has to try hard for the Veto. Dan concludes that this whole mess with Frank is Britney's fault, yet she is safe.
Bottom line: It's a big old mess of variables that have to come into play. They all have to play. Britney or Shane have to win. The winner has to use the veto.; and Ian has to use the Golden Power (which he has repeatedly said he is reluctant to do). More importantly, it's becoming increasingly clear that Britney and Ian are leaning towards rolling with Frank and cutting Dan, whether production is pushing it or not. It's not looking good for Dan and Quack Pack fans, but anything can happen in the game.
Today is the PoV competition. They all seems to be convinced it will be How Bad Do You Want It. Good luck to everyone.
9:35 AM: Joe and Frank talk alone in HoH. Joe is trying to get Frank to see that there's more to Ian than he thinks. Joe mentions Dan's comment during the PB comp yesterday about ratting Ian out. Joe points out that he is suspicious of those words, asking what would Dan have on Ian? Frank wonders about Dan telling him that he had something to tell him. Frank is reluctant at first to believe it, but as they keep talking he gets heated.
10:06 AM: Ian comes upstairs and Frank asks him what his motivation was to win the PB veto. He replies that it was to keep himself safe and stop others from getting it. Frank says it's odd that he needed to keep himself safe this week. Ian tries to smooth that over. Frank brings up the fact that Ian put him and Ashley on the block. Frank's talk is all about getting Dan out. Ian says he won't be voting him out not for a "long ass time". He adds that Frank should stick around until F4 and F3...(Umm, Ian.. stop talking.) Frank threatens him that if he picks Britney over him, he will make sure he does not win in the end. Frank adds that he will take Ian to the F2. He qualifies that he would possibly take Jenn over him to the F2 because she has been loyal to him. Ian says that he doesn't have a deal with Britney... He just likes hanging out with her.
Frank point-blank asks Ian about Dan's comment (ratting him out). Ian's answer makes no sense. Frank isn't buying it. Ian changes the subject to F3. Frank asks if Ian will use the power to take Dan or Danielle off. Ian says no, adding that "the powers that be don't want that." Button Boy intervenes for a minute and Britney joins them. Frank is called to DR to begin picking players...
When Britney and Ian are left alone, Ian says that the QP are in trouble and it's all of Dan's fault by making the "rat" comment. Ian asks Britney if their F2 deal stands, that she would pick him over Shane. Britney says she would pick Ian hands down, adding that she is not close with Shane. They agree that Dan winning the veto is the worst case scenario.
10:24 AM: Trivia... Picking PoV players. You know the drill, I will be posting them under the banner.
10:41 AM: The feeds return. Joe is the only one not playing (other than Ian). A few moments later, Dan issues Ian a warning of his own. That should he not use the PB Power, Dan will do damage in jury.
11:41-59 AM: Dan is onto Ian. He is convinced Ian won't be using the power on him because Ian said has is scared of Frank. Dan told Brit and Shane that he will then try to win the Veto himself. Britney pulls Ian into the Arcade and tells him he can't scumbag the 4 people who have been there for him because of Frank. He agrees to use it if Britney or Shane win. Ian leaves and Dan comes in. She tells him this and he goes to find Ian who tells him if it's the perfect scenario that he will use it. Ian says his word is good.
Noon: BB says, "Ian please go to..." Ian asks, "Yes or no?" Then fish... (Ian is the host for the PoV and the one to start the process.) Extended fish but nothing yet.
1:24 PM: Ian and Joe talk privately in the Arcade Room. Joe asks Ian not to use the power because he will be put up. Ian asks Jo point-blank what side of the fence Joe is on, adding that Joe seems to just go with the power and it's been working for Joe, but he needs to know which side Joe is on. He asks Joe to let him know later or tomorrow, saying that it won't alter his decision one way or another.
At this point there are a lot of repetitive conversations, often at cross purposes. The PoV competition will determine which of these are truth and which game play. I will update more after the comp.
2:34 PM: Trivia. Good luck to all! (Almost the 3hour mark)
6:21 PM: Feeds back...
Not sure who won yet. Frank is might happy... He's in a carrot suit. It can't be the reason he's happy? Dan has a 24 seclusion.
He seems happy. Why is everyone happy? There's music, food, drink and strobe lights LOL He says, "This is the sound track of me coming back in this game." He must have won PoV! Nope. He says. "Sorry I didn't win guys." But he has not given up. If anyone can find a way out, it's this guy.
Jenn tells Danielle that she has to keep the noms the same but she will look after her. It's confirmed by Britney who congratulates her. Jenn is on slop for the rest of the season. Brooklyn stepped it UP!
6:52 PM: Dan says he will expose everything. Danielle and Britney become shackle mates. They don't want Jenn to use the Veto... oh boy! Frank cannot compete in the next 2 HoHs... eeek!
7:06 PM: Joe tries to call Britney about Frank throwing the comp to her. She explains it but I'm not really listening.
Jenn, Frank and Ian are in HoH. It's kind of hard to take him seriously lol. Jenn tells him she won't be using the Veto and she will work with Danielle to keep him safe. They start planning out the whole rest of the game... but you know how that goes.
7:16 PM: Britney and Danielle visit Dan and talk to him through the door. He apologizes for letting them down. They say he didn't. He tells Britney he knows she tried really hard. Dan got champagne and cake too. They go up to HoH where Jenn is. After she leaves moments later, they tell him about Joe questioning Frank's actions. Could this be a ploy to get Joe up? Doubtful.
List of Punishments:
Frank: Carrot Suit, chum bath and can't play HoH for 2 weeks.
Dan: 24 hr Solitary in HN room with strobe light, music, food, a port-a-potty, cake and champagne.
Jenn: Slop for the rest of the season and burn her clothes.
Britney and Danielle: Cuffed together for 24 hours
Shane: He has to play with a banana for 24 hours... (don't ask)
There were no rewards.
Okay that's all she wrote for me for today! Catch you tomorrow! :)
