A lot of people are upset that Janelle is nominated and may be evicted on Thursday. But has she played the game well enough this season to be a real contender to win it all?

Janelle will always be a BB icon. I think that the problem with returning players is that they really can't play the same game they played before. In S6 janelle was the feisty kick a** underdog. She was so much fun to watch and cheer for. As a returning player here she is not the underdog. She has been a huge floater with no loyalty to anyone about to unleash her comp skills on the house. In a week with a newbie HOH and a newbie Veto winner I think you must take out a coach. Since Dan's team and Brit's team were the victims of Janelle's floaty moves this is the perfect time to get her out. She may still survive though.

She really did not have a chance to play; she was so focused on her saving her team members. This is why I believe that the four coaches should have been given some sort of 1-2 week eviction pass. It would also be nice to have us, the viewers, determine who leaves the house. The game has been reset, so why not reset it back to the time when viewers voted to evict. This is just so unfair to put them in with no safety net.

Janie was a balls out player. She still is somewhat, and if she was male, people wouldn't have a problem with her. Janie has never mastered the females and their gossip, which she should know that she... had... to do and stroke their egos. Somehow Janie can't bring herself to do so. Janie is unemotional about game as Dan is, but because she's a female, she gets a lot more heat from FEMALES for doing the same. The problem with Janie is, she stays in bed and removes herself from the voters while she was always bearing down on the strong players. The newbies' could have hid behind her for a couple of more weeks. Now the gossip will be spread onto someone else and it might be them.

It's not that she's unemotional. And I admire her trying to wheel and deal to save her players. She's just boring. If she showed more excitement about playing, or had more fun, or something she would be more interesting to watch. Her lack of enthusiasm/interest makes her uninteresting to me. She just seems flat.

Maybe it's because the players themselves are boring and nobody to bounce off of. I thought it might be Wil but it didn't happen.

I think plenty of them are boring, to be sure. But there's potential for fun in any group, you can't blame it on others if you don't bring it yourself.

Brit, Janelle and Dan all had difficulties due to the coach role. Britney had a crazy man, Janelle had people who didn't want a coach, and Dan had weak players. Brit and Dan still had team players who wanted to stay with them, Janelle didn't. She's very good at this game, but she needs teammates to work with.

We really haven't gotten to see her play HER game this year. She's had such uncooperative players that she's had to shield & coddle the entire time & as soon as she got in the game, she's being sent packing.

Janelle got stuck with a lousy group of three. Joe is by far the best in that group and that is not saying much. The other two are useless and have no decency as Janelle saved both their asses then they thank her by immediately turning on her. We never got to see her play for herself since she had no reason to think she would be targeted this week. Brittney is jealous of her and most females as she has shown once again. Dan is a wimp. Boogie so far is pathetic and has latched on to his "boy" and can see nothing else including the rest of his team. Danielle is a silly girl who has no idea who her enemies really are in this game. She will find out soon enough. All in all they are the worst group of players to date for me.

None of them got stuck, they *picked* their teams. Granted there wasn't much to choose from. LOL.

Janie 'needs' someone to bounce off of. It's probably as simple as that, and she doesn't have anyone who wants to have fun. You can't have fun if there are no fun players. While she was in one of the most hated seasons she made it fun with Howie and Kaiser. She also had Marcellas and Will to bounce off of. Who is in there this season?......NOBODY This is where AG fell down this season, so we will be left with backstabbing, gossip and contempt. You need a playmate to have fun in THAT house.

Maybe because of the coaching twist, it has seemed to me at times, this is not a very enthusiastic group of GAME players. At times they just don't seem to want to be there. Ian is excited to be there, but he has his mellow, linear approach to the game. As far as the coaches, or retreads, Dan has seemed to be enjoying it the most. Boogie is enjoying himself, but I think he is trying to relive the glory days without his "glory day" pals. It's like he's at a class reunion with a different high school and he's trying to mold it into HIS high school. Janelle and Britney seem over it and bored a decent percentage of time.

I only follow online now, as you all are such fun commentators that I get a sense of the game from your observations. That being said--dead sick of Janelle. She made her money and played very well in her time. Would like to see some noobs play their OWN game, without being saddled with the vets. That goes for Boogie as well. Actually more so for the Boog, as I can't stand him. Time for the oldies to shuffle off the stage and the others to shine.

Janelle seems to have lost her edge. The other three coaches seem to be making more of an effort and want to play the game. Britney survived losing two players in one week, one of whom got so aggressive that he was kicked off the show. Dan lost his first player in the first episode (she hardly even got to play) and his second player in the second elimination. Boogie managed to keep all three of his players and made a solid bond with one of them and the other two like him. Both Dan and Britney's remaining players love them (LOL and one seems to love the other). They have a strong foursome and Boogie has managed to worm him and Frank into it (at least temporarily). In comparison, Janelle has nothing. She did manage to keep her three players and in the process they developed a dislike for her to the extent that they seem keen to vote her off the first chance they get. Furthermore, she has built a minimal relationship with the other three coaches. How much of this is her fault? Well she did pick her three players (who now dislike her). She hasn't done much to reinforce any relationship with the other coaches. She hasn't come close to winning any competitions. And she sleeps a lot and doesn't associate with anyone (that has always been a weakness for her). Bottom line is her heart doesn't seem to be in it this year and fans and BB pushing her to be there may not work. Unless she (and BB) really turn it up a notch, it's probably time for her to go.

I got the following from a blog (BBGab). Is the following true (took place 7/26)? Is Janelle really playing a mean girl? --Now, I know Janelle has MAD FANS out there, but I have got to mention this! Janelle is playing the biggest "mean girl" I have ever seen in that house! For absolutely no other reason than her saying she was bored and wanted to start some shit, Janelle pulls Danielle to the HOH room and tells her that JoJo has been talking crazy crap about her and even said she was fat! Then Janelle tried to get her to go confront JoJo about it. Danielle said no, that she would just start crying, and said she is just not that kind of person, but was very hurt by what Janelle was telling her and said that she would love for Janelle to go confront JoJo about it and that if she did, she would be right there beside her, but of course Janelle wouldn't. ***Way to go Danielle for not allowing Janelle to goad you into a fight! And I know they all talk crap about each other, but I just can't figure why anyone would be that cruel for no game purpose at all?***-- here is a link: http://tinyurl.com/ctlcset

Janelle's team did her in. She had no support from them and all they did was lie and backstab her so she was seen as a mean girl while they kept putting words in her mouth. On top of that she had Brit and Boogie doing the same thing to her.She had no hope

Janelle was pretty good in her seasons because she didn't have to do the social part so much...she had Howie and others working that aspect...she won most of the comps and was good at strategy, but not socially with the opposing houseguests...this time she has no one to play the social game for her and her subtle moves aren't so subtle...Therefore, she is failing terribly.

Julie I saw that conversation and it did go down as BBGab posted.. but what I dont know is if JoJo actually said that. I dont see Janelle playing a mean girl...but I think Bbnut is right... Janelle did not play the social game in her seasons... in fact the other HGs were gunning at her she was always on the defensive side.

JoJo did say that about Danielle...I believe it was while they were taking a bath, if I remember correctly, I just know I heard it from JoJo's mouth...she said it to Janelle and Janelle didn't really respond to her negative comments about Danielle...even Joe told Janelle the same thing about Danielle's legs being fat while they were walking laps...Janelle just responded to him, "I don't really check out girls"...Janelle thought it was rude, you could tell by the expression on her face. JoJo constantly put down Danielle to everyone...said she was fat and was there for the wrong reasons and made fun of the fact that her fiance' cheated on her.

I agree with almost every post in here. She definitely lost her enthusiasm and it's normal as a new mother she may feel the pull of her baby girl at home and that's enough for her capitulation. I think it's best for Janelle to leave now and go back to her baby girl and forget about the mean environment of BB. That's not good for her as a new mother.

Janelle's biggest strength in this game is her ability to win competitions. Had Dani put her on the block and let her play in the veto, I think we'd be seeing a whole different side of Janelle now.

A lot of the so-called Lies Janelle is accused of, or mean comments, are actually things that are true, or said by others. The JoJo bashing Danielle thing for example really happened... Also, Brit has mastered the art of 'putting words in someone else's mouth. So far it's mostly been Janelle. Brit will say something like, "Isn't Shane such a threat in this game?" And the HG will agree, often half heartedly. Then Brit runs and says ___said Shane is a big threat....
