I was thankful it wasn't Shane, but I was very, very upset. But I was playing a game too, and I still needed to win that money. Some of those tears are real at the end welling up. I was already to that hysterical point that I didn't even want to listen to him. I'd seen Hayden Moss and Danielle Reyes, the only two people I can remember to get locked up in solitary confinement. DAN GHEESLING: The whole thing for me, it was like a car crash, like you're seeing this movie car crash. And then for him to be laughing and he was smiling and acting so jovial and that it was so hysterical to him also really pissed me off. He was acting like a man who was sick. At 6.30am on the day of the funeral, the Queen's lying in state will end, and in the morning the coffin will be taken in procession from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey for the funeral . At this point, it's like, "I took all this heat. She and I were fine at this point so I didn't think that she would convince Frank to put me up. SHANE MEANEY: I really struggle with the fact that Danielle was the only one to vote for him. I'm by myself now, too. DAN GHEESLING: I'm sure I told them I would throw it, but I can tell you for a fact this is one I tried to win because you never really know. But Ian did play a good game. It was so good/bad. It was like, we can see you! JENN ARROYO: He looked like he had been through it. So there was a bitter jury component. And it kind of proves that you obviously have been dishonest in the past, because you're trying to do all this stuff to prove a point. I'm like, "Dude, ask about me, not Dan! We're still good to go.". I don't like having to vote out those that I feel like I already have a connection with because I've seen them on TV. The funeral is set to take place at 11am on Monday 19 September at Westminster Abbey, but the day will start long before then.. At 6.30am on the day of the funeral, the Queen's lying in state . But the game talk from me ends now. A dominant (and terribly named) alliance titled the Quack Pack consisting of Dan, Britney, Danielle Murphree, Shane Meaney, and Ian Terry took control of the house, with Ian playing the role of double-agent to secretly undermine his coach Mike Boogie and teammate Frank Eudy. We were friends and we talked a lot in the house. As tight as I am with Ian, there is no doubt in my mind he's tighter with Britney". Joe, being around you, you taught me a lot about how to be a good husband.". I'm like, "Poor Dan, what a guy. Once all the players had assembled in the living room, Dan emerged wearing almost all black with his Bible. Bud's funeral may have come as a surprise to fans of the book Firefly Lane is based on, as it is an event that only exists in the Netflix series. He was trying to get to our heartstrings and just try to manipulate and say the things that we wanted to hear so we would feel bad for him. It was a culmination of all of Dan's hard work and the power of his mist. I still haven't watched the season in full, to be honest. I wouldn't care. I didn't want to vote for him, but I didn't want to vote for Ian either. I always felt like I was close with Ian in the beginning, and even though he went against me and was part of the reason that Mike and I eventually went home, it got him to the end. If you could say "Hey, shave your head, burn your clothes, do whatever you want, give up competitions," I would do it, but my fear in the game was to be locked into a room. Or maybe he got a power trip off of it, or it made him feel like the bigger guy or something to see how much I cared for him. Even as mad as I was, I was like, "He's just that good. I'm leaving. What a fricking guy. IAN TERRY: I'm not someone who takes losing kindly. DAN GHEESLING: I still felt like I was going to win, to be honest. Yet now he had to convince Danielle of that at their meeting in the arcade room. And I just stood there and took the heat. "Oh, there's water in the cup, water in the cup, water in the cup. He's just doing this because this is his way of trying to stay in the house. And they're like, "Yeah." DAN GHEESLING: I've been a huge fan of Big Brother. No matter how much I can't stand it. Pope Francis will preside over the funeral, taking his place in front of a canopied altar, and delivering the homily and key invocations. He likes those pranks, and he likes to be annoying as a joke sometimes. It ate me alive, and that moment still breaks my heart. BRITNEY HAYNES: To be honest with you, I'm so dumb, and nave, and emotional that I didn't really suspect anything nefarious in that. Jenn City lives in Brooklyn and just started recording her second solo album while also working in metal 3D printing. I did something early on. He was a bluegrass musician in the Sweet Auburn String Band. Click here if you would like to make a donation. I don't know what happened to me in there. And Dan was very good at using the lore of the show against me to influence my decisions. He obviously doesn't mean this. Past winners Dan Gheesling and Mike "Boogie" Malin along with fan favorites Britney Haynes and Janelle Pierzina were originally in the house to pick teams and then claim a $100,000 prize if one of their players ended up winning the season. NBC said goodbye to the Pearson family on Tuesday with the series finale of "This Is Us.". Could I have done it without it? But the whole time I read it as BS because I knew that Dan was a competitor, and I knew that he wasn't just rolling over, and everybody's over there eating it up. It's all part of life. If I'm in a spot of trouble, maybe he'll save my ass." DANIELLE MURPHREE: It was a massive fight. But because they were super tight in the house, I thought she knew damn well that he was going to do something like this just to throw us all off. Nothing." That's exactly what I thought. That is the longstanding motto for CBS' reality show Big Brother, currently in its 21stseason (along with an additional season for CBS All Access and two celebrity installments). My thing about Big Brother is I'll play hard, but I don't want to make people feel bad, and I feel like that's one time where I made her genuinely feel bad. DANIELLE MURPHREE: I still would've done the same thing. I remember I came in third place, and I threw this massive tantrum in front of everybody. Once the players reentered the house, Dan had just a few minutes before having to head into his 24-hour solitary confinement dance party. I didn't know how she would react, but I started to tell her what happened. FRANK EUDY: I knew the whole funeral was BS. BRITNEY HAYNES: They finally came back said that they reviewed the tape, and that he whispered it to me and he was disqualified, and that we had to replay the round. I'm literally looking around the room going, "You people have lost your minds over one night this guy spent in a room." DAN GHEESLING: When I was swearing on the Bible, everything I was telling him was the truth. He knows the buttons to push. I was like, "I don't know, man. The final question was worth 11 points, so if Dan answered it correctly, he would win the Power of Veto. Because that was just blatant cheating. I'm angry at Britney because I'm questioning her because why is she getting answers from Frank. This whole Veto caused problems. You know what you did, and in this game, you are dead to me. He would always make the conversation about you and he would always make you feel so important. 100 percent honesty, I was like, it's a hail Mary. FRANK EUDY: He came out just acting like he had had some "come to Jesus" moment in the room. She could've taken Ian to the end, and she was going to get the votes. But Danielle didn't really need to win, because I'm going home over her, and she's taking points away from me, and she doesn't have a shot to win this. It was just him filling me in on what I didn't know before. I can't blame somebody for making a move to get the win. It's just something I got to live with. FRANK EUDY: I'm as confident almost as if I had won because I knew that she didn't have anybody else in the house either, and she had already come to me and was like, "I guess I'm with you." ", DAN GHEESLING: I didn't feel well, but I definitely played it up. Close friends of Dan have since set up a fundraiser to help the family pay funeral costs. Afterward he talks to frank, the current HOH, and tells him that he wasn't the Flip in the votes last week and that Ian was. So I hope you guys understand that, that this was the death of Dan the player. We coined this phrase very early on in the game: the mist that he would put you under when he talked to you. That's what I was looking for. He got me. 'My sweet Dan, my whole body is aching, down to the deepest part of my soul,' his wife Susie . Daniel, passed away peacefully at the Royal Blackburn Hospital with family by his side, aged 75 years. So it was really frustrating for me. JENN ARROYO: They would wake us up in the morning with music. I remember it felt like forever, especially because I knew what was going on. I care about their feelings. I really struggled with it. So I just want you guys to know I appreciate that. Think about your best friend saying something horrific to you, not wanting to hear your side of it, and knowing that you had done nothing besides protect him the entire time. However, all alliances eventually lose members, and the Quack Pack was poised to lose Dan after the season 10 champ was nominated for eviction on day 49 and later failed to win the Power of Veto. He is being selfish and doesn't really give a s about me. So that's what I have struggled with the past seven years. Dalai Lama mourns loss of his friend. The game decision depends on him, so get him upstairs, mask it in apologizing privately, just get me and him in a room alone so no one's thinking that we're talking game. They saw me as whatever. And to do a move like that? I'm not going to have time to tell him. So to be able to sell her on the fact that there was sympathy was something that I was like, "Hey, this is something that happened that I didn't expect. One of the things he talked about was that he wanted to be considered the best. I loved it. I was just going to say, "You're dead to me," but I truly don't want to make someone upset, so even though it doesn't make for as good TV I said, "In this game you're dead to me" instead. We don't need to get into it now, but in this game you'll never earn my trust back. Firefly Lane: Bud's funeral explained Essentially, the confirmation that Kate and her daughter attend a funeral in a couple of years compels audiences to ask who may have died. I cannot go against Dan." DAN GHEESLING: It's 100 percent bad and it's the most upset, sad, disappointed, angry I've ever been in playing two seasons in the history of my Big Brother competition-wise. Fair enough, that's an interesting thing to aspire to. RICH MEEHAN: The funny thing is, it shows how much Frank wanted Dan to lose and wanted him out of the game. He's trying to get sympathy votes if he can. Dearly loved husband to Janet, devoted dad to Fleur and the late Adam, good friend to Lee, a dear brother and brother- in-law to Thrse and Grard, uncle to Cline and Gisle, much loved son-in law to Margaret and the late Harry also a . That's the idea, yes. And as far as the solitary confinement goes, I kept wondering: Is he sting in a bucket in there? JULIE CHEN: I think it probably is the single greatest moment in Big Brother history. There's no chance. Some other questionable things happened. And I will say this. Advertisement. Frank then nominated his biggest adversary, Dan, for eviction along with Dan's biggest ally, Danielle, setting the stage for the remarkable chain of events to come. I don't know. Dan's funeral will take place at St. Margaret's Church in Topsham (EX3 0HX) at 2pm on Friday 8th October - all friends and family, near and far, are welcome. Honestly, one of the things that makes my game in that season weaker is the starstruckedness with the returning players. IAN TERRY: I wasn't happy about it, to be honest, and the reason is that I already had the Veto in hand, and we didn't really know how the Veto ceremony was going to work. It's not a shock to me at that time, but I know it's a severe blow to my game individually. "If my plan works, think of this: I'm gonna be off the block from a guy who put on a carrot suit, took an avocado bath, took a chum bath, and sat out of an HOH competition all to get me out. A green funeral can be an environmentally-friendly alternative that also saves money. I see Britney's mouth drop and Ian's like "No! DAN GHEESLING: I see Britney realize what's going on. My word was my bond. It was his HOH. What did she do?" DAN GHEESLING: I'm angry at Danielle for buzzing in. It didn't go to Britney or myself. He's throwing paint, and even after they stopped, Dan is throwing full things of paint in my mouth. But unlike so many of the other personal bombshells that have detonated in the house over the years, this time there was a strategic method behind the madness, and when the smoke cleared, Dan had pulled off what many believe to be the greatest move the game has ever seen. Messages of condolence and support can be left for the family via the condolences button below. DAN GHEESLING: Yeah, I remember that. It's like a light being turned off and being plunged into sudden blackness; slowly, your eyes adjust and soon you are able . Jenn using the Veto is not going to come down to anything I say. No matter if Dan and I never talk again, I'm still going to feel that way. And I was all about hurting Ian, because that was the guy who could really win it. I mean, obviously it wasn't what we wanted. He's not okay, and I'm very worried about him." I've literally never seen anything like it. It also would have made sense for Danielle and Shane to be on the block next to each other, because they were a showmance. Ultimately, in the end, I believe the reason why Dan did not win is because no one wanted him to win twice. You're just accepting that that's a vote Dan never gets now. That segment should live in the Big Brother Hall of Fame. It's working!" The Big Brother 21 finale will air Sept. 25 on CBS. SHANE MEANEY: This was probably my worst competition of the season. It was Frank's idea. I was just like, "Summer!". I'm like, "What in the hell did he think that I did? That really put a lot of bitterness in my heart, like "You're going to vote for someone that voted me out? This could also be given by a religious leader or celebrant, depending on the family's wishes. If it crosses a line, it's just because it's unnecessary. SHANE MEANEY: To put yourself in his shoes, of course you want to win. When you do something like that, the producers set it up so you can kind of have fun with it or take it easy on her. I really wanted to hit him with a pillow. He was giving us the idea that the room had sickened him somehow, like a motion sickness type thing. DAN GHEESLING: I haven't thought about this really ever since it happened, but I can remember distinctly getting a weird social read off of everyone in the alliance. It just made no sense to me. "Next up is Britney. I have asthma and it caused a rash, and I swallowed a lot of it, so I had to go see a doctor in the diary room and they gave me cream. I figured that he was going to make some sort of last-ditch plea, because why would you not just say it right there? I'm not scared of making a deal with the devil." At Dan's funeral, Carol introduced himself to Ella and the pair seemed to hit it off really well. Danielle then also won the Power of Veto and agreed to Dan's request to use the Veto on him, as long as he promised to evict Ian instead of Shane. And I stood there, and I thought about that. I could not believe the words coming out of his mouth. I was disgusted that Ian knew Dan was going to do that and didn't tell me. I remember in interviews people would ask me, "Hey what about the Funeral in the house?" "Here's my funeral. He's just possibly going out of the house.". But we don't have that many people left yet, and I knew he was going to go after Britney. He was totally mad at her, which makes no sense, because he was trying to win. Dan was going to throw it so that we could carry out this plan. I just saw him as the winner. But in most ways, I could really fing care less. There's a couple things I've said about you I'm not proud of. I was just so oblivious to it. Dan later explained to Danielle that his funeral was an act in Big Brother 14. Not only now is he for sure going home, but he also has to go to this solitary thing, so he can't even control his fate. Ian, the more and more I was around you, the more you remind me of myself, because you love this place for everything it's worth. He loved the experience, so I wanted to make him feel the experience even more, if that makes sense. I know moving forward with the Quack Pack we're good. I was frustrated. I thought Jenn was a lock for me and I was counting on maybe an Ashley, a Jenn, and a Joe. If they were correct, they had to do a punishment if they wanted to collect points towards winning. I literally went to the Diary Room and asked them to check on him! Then as soon as he said it to me, it made complete sense. With Lucifer ending, could Ella receive the happy ending she deserves? But then at the same time, I couldn't blame him because there's no world where you could expect that Dan would actually throw a competition, especially when he's on the block. I'm very good when I can plan everything out, but if something doesn't go to plan and I break down, I'm not very good improvising.
