I used to love this show and watched it faithfully every summer until last year (summer of 2007) when CBS decided to step in and "fix" the outcome of the show and manipulate the direction of who was going to win. It ruined the credibility of the show and I''ve never watched it since that day and never will again ..... and it''s a shame because it was a good show up until then.

Dan - yes - well done - the best in the game at lying, scheming and manipulating - a wonderful role model for all the school kids. Perfect.

Dan was one of the best BB players in history. He was the entertainment for all 71 days. Jerry is a no-class person and Renny is a shrieking shrew. Glad that both of them got booted out of the house.

Nobody cares

This show had the lowest viewers rating ever. People

are shifting away from TV due to garbage.

Dan played the game expertly. He used the abilities he has along with adjusting his strategy as things happened. He''s quick thinker and I believe a very good and sincere person. It''s great he''ll be able to continue the profession he enjoys without worrying about money. WTG, Dan! Congrats to Memphis too! I was very happy that Keesha won America''s player. Only wish Renny could have won something.

Dan was a hell of a game player. He deserved the money and also the 20,000 he earned during his week of America''s Player. He outwitted, out smarted, and most of all out lasted everyone. Go Dan. I am so proud of you. I watched you on the live feeds and Showtime After Dark and you were so entertaining. What a great season. Can''t wait until the next one.

Dan was a class act, as was Memphis! Way to go boys! KUDOS to the Jury! I am proud of the jury for voting the way that they did! I was really concerned that their personal feelings were going to get in the way. Dan played a terrific game! I am sure all of his students are proud of him. Also, if St. Mary''s does not allow him to keep his position, then if I were a parent, I would NOT be sending my son to that school, as I am sure Dan is an excellent teacher and well respected by his kids.

I was glad to see the jury did the right thing in voting the same. That was how all the voting was done in this game. Except for week one, when Dan would not vote for Brian. way to go Dan you fooled them all.

Dan was definitely fun to watch and a very smart player. I''m glad that he won. Does anyone know how much money Dan got paid as America''s Player?

I am in total agreement with Dan being THE absolute best player Big Brother has had to date. I watched every show just hoping that he would win. Well done, Dan. VERY, well done.

My gosh, I couldn''t agree more. Icouldn''t believe how Dan ruled this game! He is, by far the BEST player so far. Congratulations Dan no one deserved it more!

We can all be both impressed and amazed at the skill and intelligence Dan showed. St. Mary''s should be most thankful to have Dan teaching and coaching their children. Bob

I have watched every season, since the beginning. Dan is by far the best, most skilled player to date. I watched him in awe this season, as he single handedly controlled this game. Great job and congrats
