Well as I've posted, I remain as annoyed as I have ever been in BB history by what has transpired. While I'm sure it will do no good (esp since Arnold Shapiro productions deleted the mail--nice fan treatment huh? 2nd time I wrote anything about BB in 7 years), I sent an email to Shapiro, CBS feedback and Les Moonves. I'll share with you guys here so at least someone will read it lol. The last paragraph was only on the mail to Moonves. Least it was theraputic! Here's the mail; I feel it is unconscionable to ruin Janelle's chances on Big Brother based vague rules. It is just not right and I hope at the very least Janelle will be allowed to compete in Part 3 of the HoH or I fail to see how anyone can argue this show was produced fairly and competently. Barring that, I hope after the game she sues AS Productions and CBS for $500,000, as she unjustly had her fair shot taken from her not by losing, but by a production error. I just additionally wish we fans could be compensated for not only the monies we wasted watching this season, but our time, as it is nauseating to me to watch an All Stars finale that handed the contest to the participants unjustly. How is it possible there could be SO many critical errors this season in a professionally produced production? I have watched the final HoH several times to confirm that the houseguests were NEVER instructed that BOTH hands had to be on the key. So unless Janelle was able to hear Erika's unmiked question to Julie, which I feel is unlikely, she never broke the rules as she was given them. And regardless, in a contest of this magnitude all rules should have been clearly stated. Aren't there any game show regulations governing this? I thought there were. To destroy her FAIR chance at half a million dollars based on ambiguous and unclear rules is an insult to Janelle, to all the fans, and to integrity in television. Bad enough part 2, according to the participants, involved upper arm strength, so it was a contest that would clearly favor any man over ANY woman. Aren't these shows and the contests supposed to be fair? Mr. Shapiro can talk on Housecalls all he wants about his integrity, but proof is in the action not the words! I would also request that you consider renewing Big Brother but replacing the current production team, as I feel they are responsible for losing fans and not having the show reach it's full potential to be the massive success it is worldwide. As a fan from day one year one, I adore the show but am tired of the same contests and the same scripts year in year out. So many creative and new ideas could be introduced, yet all we get are overused, boring, redundant ideas with cookie cutter casting. Julie Chen is left to repeat the same poorly written scripts with the identical wording year in year out. And it is an embarrassment that she was given such unclear rules to read in this and other contests. Also, rather than embrace the loyal Internet audience, not only has Arnold Shapiro productions never tapped into that, he has repeatedly publicly insulted them. So many of us adore this show, but hate the direction and unprofessional production of this current team. I hope for all the points mentioned as well as many more that exist, you will consider this.

Rebelgurl and Ryn just reported in the live feeds that Erika was sitting at the kitchen table talking to herself. I remain firmly grasping at my straws. Rebelgurl Member 08-13-2006 Thursday, September 07, 2006 - 1:45 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E still talking to herself "Janelle was the goto competion girl and I was the goto pawn girl. Very good plan. Very good stragedy boys." "Will, I am the master manipulator not you." mumbles something else but I can't get hear Ryn Moderator 07-13-2000 Thursday, September 07, 2006 - 1:55 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The other thng she mumbled was she has to get Mike out - that he can't win. (ed - I recorded it).

That's excellent, Lurk! "For now"....what the heck kind of way is that to give a critical rule?? Julie doesn't know anything beyond what is on her cue cards - she just said the first thing that came to mind - and it was the wrong answer. I'm hoping they do the right thing and let Janelle play in the final comp.

Nancypj I also heard Erika say to herself that she had to get him out. That was when Janie was cutting Mike's hair and she was alone in the kitchen. Perhaps she's been covering her bases in case he wins tonight, but I'm more hopeful now that she will take Janie to f2 if she does win.

Well, whatever happens tonight, I'll always regard Janie as the winner, I'll always have high regard for all of you like-minded Janie lovers. (You've just got to wonder what is wrong with those bashers, huh?)

Mkchk, I haven't been able to watch the feeds since early morning when Erika looked like she was going to scumbag Janelle. I hope she reconsiders because Janelle should win, hands down. I haven't felt this way since Danielle lost S3, she also deserved to win. What a lovely message Dani's mom sent you. Both your families are the winners by having integrity. Money doesn't buy that. Janelle is a class act and it's easy to see where she got it from. You must be so proud. I'm holding out hope that Janelle can make it through tonight. Go Janelle!

Janelle, you're a sure winner where it matters, in places of the heart and home...your riches will far exceed BB one day. I'm sure you will go places and I hope this experience leads you to wonderful things and many golden opportunities. You are a winner, you are beautiful and what captivates us most is your charm, your high standards and never, ever forget what your mama taught you. Those values are the most important. Much love to you and thank you for entertaining us and giving us this wonderful summer to share with you. Hope to see more of you. Love and admiration, Dusty ps, by no means do I think that you are leaving us tonight..I just felt like getting this out to you now. Go Janie!!!!! May the Jedi force be with you, but may the force of the Almighty guide you and walk beside you forever.

Good luck Janelle. I hope all promises made to you are kept. If everyone did what they promised, you will be in F2 and eventually the winner of BB. Fingers and toes crossed!

I'm wishing with all my might that Janelle will still be in the house after the show tonight, she deserves to be, but whatever happens, she's still my favourite BB player of all time. Go, Janie! Good luck and God bless.

My little girl and I can hardly wait to see the show tonight! Of course she doesn't know the details as we do! She is only twelve but I did tell her that Erica is falling for the same old stuff that Boogie was telling her and even my Daughter knows that isn't right. Hope that Erica wakes up and does the right thing for herself. I know that yes, I am prejudiced in wanting Janelle to win (especially after all the adversity she has conquered and overcome) but this speaks volumes about women. (Not that I am a "woman's libber" but, oh, Erica, how could you not be so happy to find the truth out and not stay loyal to your new Woman Friend?) If Janey doesn't win, and Erica throws it to Boogie, then I am seriously concerned about her emotional dependency. HA, not that I am not emotionally dependent on this soap opera right now. But, hey, we love Janelle!!!!! Go Janey!!!!!!!!!!! Is that okay, Dear God, if I pray for Janey?!!!! This is only a game, this is only a game................but no, it's become more than that!!! Where is that Doctor they see????!!!!! Love to all of you Janey fans!!!!!!!!!!!!

Janelle is definately the winner no matter what happens tonight. She has handled her self so well when just about the entire house was against her. Her back was always to the wall and yet she never stopped trying. I cried for her when Howie left and cheered for her when she came back. Best of luck to Janelle !!!!!!!!
