He doesn't think that America would have been ready for a female president and if Hillary Clinton had won the presidency, he would have moved out of the country.

Dan, what the heck is wrong with you?" FRANK EUDY: I didn't ever look at my vote as bitter. So at this point, I'm getting really upset that he's that upset.

At that moment I got a really uneasy feeling like, "Now I really feel like I've got to win this thing.". People had stopped throwing paint, and when I took my hands down, he took a bucket of paint and threw it straight into the center of my face and was just glaring anger.

DAN GHEESLING: The first couple of hours in there I remember thinking something ridiculous like, "Oh, maybe there's a hidden Veto in the cake, so let me tear through this entire cake." They had to bring in a medic, because I got a rash, broken out and stuff. There's a percentage of every damn competition that is chance or luck, so I just knew it wasn't going to happen.

Frank whispered the answer to Britney. I mean, he was dead. But I wish I went into that season knowing it was not real life and that you do everything you can to win the stinking game. I know some people took the use of religion very personally and didn't like that and that made them very anti-Dan because they thought that he manipulated religion as part of his strategy. I was just like, "All right, Dan has said some things about Frank. That was one where I thought there was not even a point of telling that one. After everything that I've ever done, that's the most backlash I got. And then, in other ways, I'm cool with Ian.

The family currently lives in Michigan, where Dan was born and raised. I'm right in the middle of his little trap at this point. 100 percent honesty, I was like, it's a hail Mary. Both he and Memphis stayed in control for the rest of the game and made it to the Final Two where Dan would win in a unanimous 7-0 vote. I feel like we connected and related around that point, so it was just the same thing of bringing up something nonthreatening that we both enjoyed talking about. According to Dan, Im back to coach a team to do the exact same thing that I did which is win a half million dollars! Since we last saw Dan on BIG BROTHER, he has been very busy. I think in the long run he was just playing off of her emotions to get a reaction. It is what it is. I always just thought it's him being a troublemaker. He can get whatever he wants.".
