I hope you are joking Christine. Anyone who is torn on this vote seriously need their head checked. Dan has admitted to doing nothing in this game. I get maybe voting for him for the lolz, but come on.
I guess it's what you prefer. Dan wasn't very active and couldn't devote nearly as much time but he at least is owning his moves which is a big plus, and seems to be partially self aware.
If you prefer someone who had the time to devote, then obviously Ika is the girl to vote. If you prefer someone who knew the game they were playing better, then Dan is a lot more informed then I think people are giving him credit for.
Mostly, Ash, I just don't think Ika deserves to win by a unanimous vote. I think she's giving herself far too much credit. At least Dan has the good sense to know he didn't do much of anything in the game. That's why I'm so torn.
But to each their own, and I respect your opinion and mostly agree with you.
I'm gonna play devils advocate on this for a second and offer some food for thought.
Dan's activity was strikingly low but that's just compared to us. I personally have been in a situation in a game where I was the least active and people thought a lot less of me, even though I was committing all the possible time I can give. There were times that Dan was only online in the middle of the night until 1am because that might've been the only legit time he could be online.
Yeah I agree, he shouldn't have signed up if he could only give a few hours a week to the game. At the same time, it seemed to be enough for him to make a strategy that got him to the end.
I think I might just dislike Ika's attitude at this jury but this is a lot harder of a decision for me then I thought.

If I don't vote does it mean I self vote for me to win?
Ika thinks she was a Dr. Will when in actuality she was a Talla. I think Dan only spoke to people he wanted to talk to because we talked all the time once jury hit. Ika would message you at like 3am and be like "omg where are you?" If we're looking at overall competitiveness, Dan performed far better than Ika who would take hours to do some competitions. It took her 30 minutes to unscramble some simple words lol. But she got lucky in the end and won when it counted so that's worth something I guess.
Rachelle you are so bitter. You betrayed your own alliance for an easy win. It's not their fault it ended up blowing up in your face. Get off your pedestal. Ika made the best move in this game voting you out. Just vote for Dan if you want to, stop with this not voting bullshit. You having to rationalize stretch reasons to even vote for him proves how shit he played, but if you want to do it just do it and shut up.

I mean, I'll be honest, I'm inclined to vote Dan. Someone who attacks a jury really doesn't deserve the win in my opinion. The final .. tribal council.. what do we call it in BB(?) is a huge part of the game, and Dan, who hasn't been around, is honestly playing it super well, whereas Ika is treating it like she's already won and attacking us with no sense of gameplay, it doesn't appeal to me. That's no way to treat the people who are voting you to win.
Bitter juries are a natural part of the game, if you had a greater sense of gameplay you would know to sit back, take it, accept it, and give what the juror wants. But, alas, Ika.

I could justify voting for either, because both suck. But like, I don't feel that acknowledging that you did nothing in a game where you did nothing is deserving of the win. Even over Ika's atrocity.
he's not acknowledging that he did NOTHING, but pretty close lol.
alligning with half the HoH's after jury is a pretty good way to play, even if half of the HoH's after jury were one person and he didn't speak more than 10 paragraphs a week to that person.
