I think the jury did vote on who played the best game. Just because Ian didn’t play dirty didn’t mean he didn’t play a good game. I am glad to see that someone who “leaves his morals on the doorstep” didn’t win. I just wish he didn’t get 2nd place money as well. How does he explain his gameplay to his students. Does he teach that it is ok to leave your morals on the doorstep as long as the $$$$ are worth it. Poor, poor example. So glad he didn’t win.

People forget Ian went to bat for Dan early in the game, suggesting to Frank it was a bad idea to put up Dan. Ian used his mind more than Dan, just in a different way. Dan’s moves were out of desperation. Ian’s moves were strategy. Dr. Will still rules, even predicted the winner, Ian!

why does everybody feel dan deserved to win ?he backstabbed his whole alliance.when has anyone won doing that.thats kind of like the goldern rule of bb and why you would end up in 2 place.ian ‘s game had a little of everything he did some lying and backstabbing but also won comps and stayed true to his alliance.dan’s puts on a show with dan’s funeral which was as fake as he is something i always thought even on his first season 10.and he should be rewarded for acting like a jackass for the 2 time.thats a bunch of bull crap from his fans.the jury was not misted by dan a 2 time and it was about time.i personally wanted frank to win but ian deserved it more then dan.fyi dan won ac award when he won bb 10 so yes a winner 1 or 2 can win ac award.frank won it fair and sqaure because he has loyal fans which can make a difference to at least some of us anyways.from holly lehman

I dont care what everybody else thinks. Although Ian is a nice person and won competitions and all. Dan used his mind and his cunning to get out of situations where he was sure to be evicted. Keep in mind he did this multiple times which is why he had “blood up to his shoulders”. This Jury voted personally no doubt and if they did vote on game play it would have been a 4-3 vote in Dan’s favor. Too bad Frank and Shane were too butt hurt and “tainted” the other jury members. In my mind Dan is probably the house guest with the best track record and possibly the greatest player to play the game.

I like how you felt the need to take a return shot at me for whatever reason with your last line there. Really, I find it funny, since alongside the rest of your post it made no sense. It’s as if I took some personal shot at you, which I clearly didn’t, but whatever.

Dan evicting Shane over Ian benefitted Dan, absolutely, but it still saved Ian’s game. Ian then goes and (after winning the game and could easily show some class and grace) calls Dan slimy and a scumbag, even though Dan’s slimy moves were a big reason Ian was around to even have a shot at winning. Dan protecting Ian as the Quack Pack mole was indeed for the sake of Ian, as well as the sake of the alliance, and not as much at all for the sake of Dan himself. It was hurting him and increasing the size of the target on his back to take that heat, but at that point in the game Dan didn’t want to drag names through the mud, and didn’t want to out Ian.

Mike and Frank may have considered Ian expendable if it came down to final two, because Mike and Frank would’ve taken each other, but that’s late in the game, and that still sits Ian in final three. I would call that generally having his back in the game, and I believe they would’ve taken him that far unless they had good reason not to, like a betrayal for example along the way. In a game like this, you can’t have somebody’s back much more than that. Also, Mike could’ve given Jenn $3,000 but he gave her $1,000 and saved the $3,000 for Ian. In return for all this Ian needlessly finds reason to tell Mike to ‘Get to steppin’ as he’s leaving, and then claims he felt bad and cried all night about what he did to Mike? Are those the actions of somebody who felt bad?

As much as it sounds like I’m ripping on Ian, I’ve said just as much that he deserved the win and I’ve congratulated him many times. So don’t peg me as a bitter Dan fan because he didn’t win. Yes, I believe he should’ve won based on gameplay and the moves he made, but I won’t lose sleep over Ian winning, at least somebody deserving took the prize. I’m more just defending my position here, especially after your unnecessary final line of your post.

Now I feel great. Have a good off-season and take care, sir.

While we are all entitled to our own opinions, I must make a few points.
Dan didn’t take the heat FOR Ian against Boogie and Frank, he took it to protect his own game and advance his alliance. If he could have outed Ian and protected his own game Dan would have.
Yes Dan could have made Ian finish 4th, but he wanted Shane out more than Ian, because he had a final 2 deal with Ian and not with Shane. Dan saved Ian because it was better for Dan not as a favor to Ian.
As far as the $3000 that Boogie gave Ian, he had to give it to someone as he had already said he wanted the $6000 for himself, Frank pointed to Ian and Jenn, saying he didn’t want it. Boogie gave it to his two ex team mates, not out of the goodness of his heart, but for game strategy. You say Boogie always had Ian’s back but Boogie and Frank had made it clear that Ian was expendable.
There are no rules on how the jury votes, if you have a chance to make it to the final two, you need to take bitterness into consideration. If you felt like you just got cheated out of a half million bucks and you might feel a little bitter too. I am surprised there isn’t more bitterness in the jury vote most seasons. Now I feel better.

Ian did say he and Ashley would be friends but nothing more than that, smart kid.
