I actually couldn't believe he was so bad at negotiating. He gave up his leverage immediately by saying he wanted to avoid drawing rocks by any means necessary. The only way it makes sense would be if he decided to flip on his alliance as soon as the votes were read.

Daniel was in a lose/lose situation, because Hai clearly was suspicious (rightfully so) and he couldn't afford to lose Lydia once he knew Daniel had flopped. Hai was willing to go to rocks for a 75% chance to send someone outside his alliance home. Daniel was willing to send Jenny home rather than take a 25% chance on it being him.

He went about it very poorly though trying to put it all on Chantelle. If he just explains it and plays it right, he probably keeps Mike and Chantelle's trust.

Now if Chantelle had just played it safe with her vote like she said to Omar it would have been 3-2 Lydia, but she took the risk.
