Daniel didn't want to go to rocks, so Hai said "Well I'd do it." The moment Daniel said that stupid statement, it was over. He had no bargaining power after that (as Probst and Wentworth have both pointed out). He put himself on the defensive. Best approach is to ask Hai "Do you want to go to rocks?" and, if Hai said "Do you?" reply with "If it comes down to it, sure. Now, answer the question." He needs to go on the offensive there. The moment he put his defenses up instead made it so Hai could go on the attack and pursue him. Daniel needed to do the pursuing and now he's in a bind.

Needless to say, I'd be scared shitless of going to rocks on Day 7 unless I felt I was next to go if I changed my vote, so I don't blame Daniel. It's just that his amateurism showed its full colors here. Chanelle has less trust and agency than Daniel so I think she could be a consensus boot if Vati ends up at Tribal again. Which they might, given this cluster.
