Right now it doesn’t matter who she puts up between Erica, the robe or Dani. Those are the ones that blatantly told her to her face they wanted her gone. Will and Boogie want her gone too, kinda sort for Will…no one knows what he’s after. Since Erica showed that she has potential to win HOH and Dani has already won I think it’s logical to go after the females. She rather face off with Will and Boogie at the end, wrongfully or not she doesn’t think Woogie is hell bent to go after her. This thing about Janelle not liking females doesn’t doesn’t fly with me. There are just some females that do not like pretty blondes….I think it’s that simple and that it’s Erica and Dani that dislikes Janelle because of pre conceived notions.

Considering that Janelle has won as many comps as she has (and yes, some of the HGs didn't try, etc., but I don't think anything was slanted her way by BB/CBS, particularly because of legal reasons and Marci/Erika having the connections they do), since Dani and Erika have proven their ability to win (Erika on endurance and Dani on POV and HOH), I would have no issue with Janelle putting up both women. THe other guys in the house are all sitting back and letting the women essentially duke it out, while playing on the womens' emotional sides to get further in the game. I'm not criticizing anyones particular strategy, however they choose to play, but I can see Janelle coming to that conclusion at this point. The guys are all playing her for as much as they can (except CG - he has not gotten outrageous with the women). When I was growing up, and frankly still, most of my close friends were guys. I felt more comfortable around them, and they didn't do alot of the backstabbing, petty crap that can go on between females. I don't play games with people and I don't like to be around that kind of behavior at all. Noone knows this woman in real life, so who are any of us to say how she truly is?

George Bush's America or New America - I have many family who are current (and former) military, including my daughter being a military wife and grandkids being military children, and regardless of who is or was president, I shudder to think what this world would come to if the US kept rolling over everytime something was done to our country. If we can't defend ourselves, who is going to? No other country. I won't even go into all of this. You are entitled to your opinion. This isn't the first time or country has attacked another country to get rid of a huge world-domination threat (i.e., WWII), and noone pitches a fit over that. I just don't get it. This has nothing to do with who I voted for and I am an Independent - I have voted many ways. JMHO. KS - I guess another thing I don't quite agree with you on, but I am so glad we both live in a country where we can voice or opinions like this without opposition or threat of physical harm. Aren't you?

Poppy, my husband is former military. We have every right and obligation to protect ourselves and to go after threats to out country and people. The problem is Iraq was not a threat and in starting a war there we diverted military and funds out of Afghanastan and the search fro the real threat Bib Ladden, So Bush in effect allowed the terrorists to regroup. now back to BB.. Jani must go after Dani who cares if she is a woman that is beside the point. And Erika is the only other person who has shown they can win an HOH.. erika would have won the spider web and showed last night she can win a question and answer HOH. Dani and Erika are direct threats to jani and howie and who cares if they are women.

I know I've said this somewhere up this thread, but I don't think it is that Janelle dislikes other women. The other women want her out, so they are her threats. I think she would win in the final 2 with few women on the jury.

Hey, folks, no politics allowed in the BB threads. Feel free to go to News and Views to discuss them if you like.

The "Janelle hates Women" argument, I believe, started from a bitter ranting by Marcellus and was spread by James.

Ack! It just dawned on me Janelle may nominate Erika after Erika got screwed out of the HOH. I mean screwed by the dumb a$$ people who were responsible for the snafu. What a shame. I could see nominating Dani. Dani is a threat to Janelle and everyone else. She is a formidable player. But to go after Erika under the circumstances seems very mean to me

What I hope happens is that she puts up Dani and Erica and James wins POV and takes Dani off...then who's she gonna replace Dani with? CG would be a wasted HOH week. Marci - her parachute (at least in her mind?) Will - perfect opportunity for Dani/James/Howie/CG to get Will out and into 1st week sequester. LOLOLOL Mike - a CT gone? LOL Howie - Not gonna happen.... And with Janie not eligble for next weeks HOH....LOLOLOL. Her only hope would be that Howie wins.

Well, if Danielle and Erika want to sit there on their hands and wait for the guillotine to fall on their necks, they are probably going on the block. Erika will be evicted because she's a known floater. Personally, I'd get rid of Will now.

Wood... are you psychic? Erika's nominations will now be nothing but an assumption.

A nomination of Erika makes sense to me - she proved to be very strong in the last 2 HOH comps. Also, Janie said that she wanted to put her up against Dani because if she wasn't on the block and won the POV, she'd take Dani off.

Oh yea. More negative generalizations about "how women are". Guess these women are lucky guys will be their friends because I don't know why any female would want to risk it. Makes me very grateful for my girlfriends. Love my guy friends too but they're no substitute.

Janelle has no reason to be jealous of any of the women in the house... they're no competition for her in the looks, body or brains department. She has it all, including a genuine personality to go with it. Everyone in the house is currently after Janelle. It makes no difference who she nominates. Dani is more vicious in her attacks on Janelle. Dani & Erika can win the comp's. Woogie hasn't tried to win anything... not sure either competes very well, good thing Will is smart... George is not a competitor, Marci is too much a diva to win anything... smart choices are Dani & Erika and if she's really smart back door James.

Thanks, Hermione . It just irritates me when guys talk about how catty women supposedly always are. So when women make those same sweeping generalizations, it drives me mad. I want to yell, "You're not helping!", lol. Seriously though, I think it's a hurtful and damaging thing to do to ourselves and other women. Sure there's catty women, but there's also incredible & supportive women. And they have all sorts of interests, not just stereotypical female ones.

Zachs - Jani putting up Marci (last weeks 'target') is a horrible idea if she truely is wanting Dani out, which I believe is what she wants. Dani could probably stay over anyone but DEF over Marci. Jani knows everyone wants Marci out so he would go. Why do that and keep those who are really targeting her (and have the ability to do well in comps) in the game? That would be a total bonehead move. You've got to remember that Marci, while always on the S6 minds (except for Jani in the beginning), was who they wanted up and out last week because it would 'save' Kaysar. She can't go for the easy out - that will get her nowhere now. Seems to me S6 targeting the floaters was the best idea. Sure, CT needs to go but at least now they've all had to show their true colors. No coming back and saying they just got S6 out because they had to. CT is still there, the only winner is still there, yet the house will not get them out. They were always after S6 (mostly Jani which is what Kay said) so making them play was great. Got Erika to show where she stands and Marci too. Made Dani do some work. Now, since Jani knows Dani and Erika are the 'toughest' or at least the most serious about doing something to get her out, shes got to take one of them out.
