Dan was a player first introduced in season one of The Butler Games, where he finished in second place.

## Season One - Spring 2017

Dan was the first player eliminated from The Butler Games, after being betrayed by Barnie, Ryan and Ste. However, in the Dice, Dice, Baby Battleback Challenge, Dan won and was able to return to the game. He beat both Barnie and Ste in this challenge, proving himself to be a challenge threat. He returned to the game as Head of House and shook things up; putting two-time HoH Olivia on the block next to two-time nominee Lindsey - who was eliminated from the game.

In round six, Dan won Head of House for the second time and once again nominated Olivia for elimination, alongside Ryan. However the pair managed to avoid elimination once again with Meg and Tom sent out of the game instead. Dan was then forced to team up with enemy Ryan in the Battleflip semi-final challenge, winning and finally sending Olivia out of the game. In the final vote, he received votes from Kate, Tom, Meg and Lisa and was the first runner up of The Butler Games Spring 2017.

## Season Two (Second Chance Summer)

Dan played a solid game this season, and did not receive a single vote to eliminate all season. He worked alongside The Warrington Alliance to secure his own safety and worked with them throughout the season. He is most remembered this season for winning Head of House in both the fifth and sixth rounds of the game (as he did the season previous as well). He was responsible for the elimination of Lisa and concocted a master plan to eliminate Lindsey using ally Barnie's immunity idol to ensure she was eliminated. This plan was foiled when Lindsey managed to win the veto and Ben was eliminated instead.

In the semi-final, Dan was partnered with Johannah in the Battleflip competition and the pair were sent out of the game via competition in joint 3rd place. In the final vote, Dan voted for Barnie to be crowned the winner.

## The Butler Games: Allstars (season five)

Prior to the games, Dan approached Barnie with the idea to team together and form an alliance - The Runner Ups. Shortly into the game, Dan heard rumours that new player Rachel had found the first hidden immunity idol and decided to offer her 'temporary' membership in the alliance. However, she informed him that she was no longer in possession of the idol and had given it away. This displeased Dan, who then declared Rachel an enemy. Dan instead offered alliance to Olivia, a fellow season one alum.

Dan was chosen to compete on behalf of Ryan's tribe alongside Ryan, Olivia, Lisa and Barnie. He was the final player to run and was charged with removing the stickers to reveal the numbers that would unlock the chain. Dan proved resourceful when instead of ripping the stickers,he wet them so that the numbers below would be revealed. His tribe won and they all voted for him to be crowned the first Head of House. He chose to nominate Lindsey and Iain, with Lindsey as his target.

When the Legacy Twist was revealed, Dan was informed he was unable to choose his own legacy, as it was too early in the game for this to take place. Dan instead chose the legacy of season three player, Becca, despite having never competed alongside her. He stated that due to her short time in the game, her legacy was the most likely to be 'something nice' and would not f\*ck up his reign as Head of House. This unleashed the Give-Wrapped nomination challenge, which nominated Olly and Lisa for elimination.

Dan competed in the Tic Tac Throw Power of Veto challenge, but was knocked out of the challenge by nominee Iain.

In the vote, Dan and Olivia agreed it best to eliminate new player Rachel from the game (who Dan had chosen as a replacement after Olly won the Power of Veto). They knew she had found an immunity idol and Dan had already declared her an enemy. Unfortunately, they were unable to communicate this to fellow Runner Up, Barnie, who had been tied to Tom in a punishment. They were unable to enact their plan, and Iain was eliminated from the game.

In the second round, Dan's team failed to win the Scrabble Scramble challenge and he was nominated alongside Ryan by Head of House, Olly. As part of the Legacy Twist, Dan unsuccessfully competed in a second Head of House challenge, Plinko Pinball. Rachel was crowned the co-HoH and fellow Runner Up's Olivia and Barnie joined Dan on the nomination block.

Dan competed in The Last Knight Veto challenge and was the last man standing, winning him the Golden Power of Veto. Lisa was chosen to be his replacement nominee and Dan and his allies began to hatch a plan to save The Runner Ups from elimination. The game appeared to be split between voting out Olivia or Lisa. Barnie had previously promised Lisa that he would not vote her out of the game this season, but Dan and Ryan applied pressure to ensure he stuck with his alliance. In the vote Dan successfully voted Lisa out of the game.

In the third round, Dan lost the Know It All head of house challenge on the fourth question, but knew he was safe when it was won by Ryan. Ryan chose to unlock his own legacy - The Power Round - which gave him the power to choose which players he wanted to compete in the Power of Veto. He was not sure what the challenge was, but chose those he was closest with in the game, including Dan. This was a smart move, as in the Go Nuts! veto challenge, Dan won the challenge and gained his second Power of Veto of the season. He chose not to use this and kept Olly and Rachel on the block.

In the vote, Dan voted with the rest of the players to eliminate Rachel from the game.

In the fourth round, Dan competed in one of the hardest Head of House challenges this season, Baller Move. Dan was not the best at this challenge, and spent most of it trying to get the same ball off the floor. Because of this, he was not considered a threat by the players not in his alliance and he successfully outlasted Olly, Lindsey, Tom, Olivia and Ryan respectively. When only Dan and Barnie remained, Barnie convinced Dan to give up and allow him to win.

Head of House, Barnie, unleashed his own legacy resulting in a nomination challenge taking place and in the Face the Ace challenge Dan managed to take the win and nominated Lindsey alongside Barnie's nominations Tom and Olly. Dan was not chosen to compete in the Power of Veto challenge this round.

Dan saw this as the right opportunity to eliminate the newbie and ever-growing threat, Olly, from the game. However, Barnie convinced them that Tom and Lindsey were the bigger threats and convinced Ryan and Dan to vote to eliminate Tom from the game, in order to sever Tom's alliance with fellow Runner Up Olivia and ensure she would not betray them for him. They considered eliminating Lindsey instead, but felt it was better to eliminate Lindsey after the Battleback, given her strong track record of battling back into the game.

In the vote, Dan was blindsided when Lindsey was eliminated, not knowing that she had actually voted herself out of the game to ensure she could compete in the battleback.

At the start of round five, all jurors were brought back into the game to compete alongside the players in the Dice, Dice, Baby Head of House / Battleback challenge. Lindsey returned to the game as the new Head of House and, despite trying to save her in the previous round, she nominated Dan alongside alliance member Barnie.

In the Power of Veto challenge, Mathletics, players raced to answer math questions based on previous seasons. Dan once again won the Power of Veto and saved himself. At the vote, Barnie played an immunity idol and saved himself from elimination, sending Ryan out of the game with just 1 vote against him.

At the start of the sixth round, the remaining players were informed that this would be a double elimination round. Players then competed in the Fallen Friends head of house challenge, Dan lost this challenge but was confident when it was won by Olivia, who was in his alliance. However, Olivia was worried that Dan and Barnie would turn against her, and decided to turn against her alliance members first - putting Dan and Barnie on the block next to Lindsey.

In the Power of Veto challenge, Hide and Go Veto, Dan's envelope was second found and he was eliminated from the game by his 'enemy' Rachel. When Lindsey vetoed her own nomination, Olly was put on the block and announced that he too had an immunity idol and intended to use it at the vote.

In the vote, Dan received no votes, but with an idol in play he was the only other eligible player and became the seventh player eliminated from The Butler Games: Allstars.

In the final vote, Dan voted for Olly to be crowned the winner of The Butler Games: Allstars.
