Janie is an attention seeker from men. When she found out she would be the only woman at the party she got all excited. The reason Janie can't see the men who are after her is because she only focus's on the women. <MG>

Oh please. Janelle is a smart player. She understands a LOT about the other players. The fact is that she sees potential allies in CT, she's not fully aware that James is <MG>, nor Marci. Danielle and Erika are obvious and clear threats to Janey's advancement in the game, and she woudl be smart to get rid of one of them this week. Janelle is not a woman - hater and I'm really tired of people typecasting her that way.

<MG> What's the phrase? "Correlation does not imply causation"? That sort of fits here. I also think that one could argue that it's the other women who are threatened by Janelle, which causes them to go after her, and she in turn then goes after then. I don't know why it has to originate with Janelle. I heard over and over in her last HOH week that she had a problem with Diane, but I never saw that at all. Rather, she seemed aware that Diane had a problem with her. Same thing with Alison. As for going after Marci and James instead of Danielle and Erika - I think she still has a regrettable soft spot for Marci, and she still thinks James is with them (also regrettable). Dani and Erika make the most sense at this point, at least to Janelle. That's not to say that I wouldn't be thrilled with a Dani/James or a Dani/Marci combo, but I can understand Janelle's reasoning. I also think that while Erika certainly would've put Janelle up if her HOH had stood, James wouldn't dare (because he'd lose Janie and Howie's votes) and I'm not sure Marcellus would have the balls, either. So I'm not sure that Janelle isn't making the best choice, anyway.

Explain it away if you will -- but she always goes after the women. Now, perhaps it is because the women don't like her. But if I were to see someone that woman after woman did not like, it would not be the women I would wonder about -- it would be the one who was disliked. After all, what do all these situations have in common? Over two seasons? Janelle! Nothing else. Do we see a connection here? But then, we know why women dislike Janelle. It's not because of her or how she treates and mistreats them -- it is jealousy, so we are told. And why shouldn't they be jealous? She is a fake blond, with fake "boobies," who acts like a flirty 14 yo when around men, and talks like a baby in the DR. She has no meaningful job but leaches off her current boyfriend. She plays tricks on the homeless. Shje throws hot water on earlier boyfriends (how many has she had? Is there a fear of commitment here?) when she is angry and uses knives to express her anger at other women who have an interest in the men she wants to have? Hell, if I were a woman, I'd be jealous to! St. Janelle has everything and is everything I would want to have and be!

The fact that Janelle enjoys the attention men pay her doesn't negate the fact that Dani and Erika are a bigger threat to her then the guys. (at least based on the info Janie has) Personally I don't see wanting/needing/liking the attention of the opposite sex as a huge character flaw.... More than one male HOH has kept a female player because they like the attention or just the view...and male HOH players have put up other males simply because they were the competion... I don't see why its such an issue now....oh wait...I forgot... its Janie....double standard time... Never mind...carry on...

Wow What, tell us what you really think. I think Janie would be making the best move for herself, with the information she has, by putting up Dani & Erika. Will, Boogie,Marci & CG don't win comps. She knows Howie is with her all the way and thinks James is with them. She's hoping that getting rid of Dani will remove any doubts she has about James. I would question her thinking if she put up anyone but Dani & Erika.

quote:She has no meaningful job but leaches off her current boyfriend.
This has been asserted before (I can't remember if it was by you or someone else). I haven't seen any proof or any kind of back up at. It's disheartening enough to have the people in the house throwing around all sorts of baseless, irresponsible accusations, without having people here doing it. If there is some proof that you have that this is true, I'd love to see it. I don't think all women are jealous of Janelle. I don't think Erika is. I don't think Danielle is. I think they have gone after Janelle for game-related reasons. I do think that Diane and Alison were jealous of/threatened by Janelle, and that their reasons for going after Janelle were not game-related. Whether you find her attractive or not, the fact is that Janelle fits the archtype for what is considered attractive in American society: blonde, tan, fit, tall, nice body, pretty face. I think she's very attractive (heterosexual female speaking here, so take that for what it's worth). I think Janelle's personality is more attractive to me than her looks, since the Pam Anderson thing doesn't really appeal to me that much. But I think women who are insecure about their looks or very competitive with other women about their relative attractiveness (and IMO Alison and Diane qualify for those descriptors) would feel very threatened by someone who looks like Janelle. Top that off with her status as a fan favorite, and yes, I think there is a lot of jealousy.

What, I agree but you won't find many who will. The people who love janie refuse to see anything bad about their queen. I'll never forget when she screamed in april's face, they just said april had it coming, no comment about janie doing it. And the love for howie, OMG, don't get me started.

Cori - The problem is that the other side has gone off the other deep end. Rather than defending Janelle to death, she can do nothing right in thier eyes.

Is there some reason people must be lumped in as being a complete saint or sinner category? Haven't all of us, at one time or another in our lives, said or done something we wish we could take back or said in the heat of a moment? We just don't have the dilemma of having it live in in infamy through t.v. and websites.

I don't dislike Janelle--she plays a good game. But she is a threat to my all-time fav Dani and yes, she does seem to rise up to a position of power one way or another the past few weeks. Whether she's blessed with competitive genes or blessed by the CBS gods--who knows? I do know that it'll hurt to see Dani or Erica go home. And I really don't want to see Will and Janelle in the final two.

Kswheels, that's my point, "the other side". I don't consider myself being on any side, I just watch and comment on what I see. To each his own I say.

Well she should nominate Dani for sure...and then James but she does not know James backstabbed her over and over....but of course the coup will probably change everything.

Tk - She doesn't see James is after her because Kaysar assured her several times he wasn't and to trust her. Will and Boogie? Jokes. She knows they won't win anything. Marci? He's not a huge threat as he doesn't stay in comps all that long. Anyone who can't see THAT is blind.

Kansafornia do you really think Will and Boogie are jokes? It seems to me they are purposely throwing everything. It seems like they keep themselves in a comp until the ones they dont want to win are out and then they bail.

i think if Will makes it to final two he should win the money becuase he has told everyone to thier face that he lies, and that he wanted to go home and they kept him and refuse to get rid of him , knowing his shceming ways, so they would have just handed it to him. ( IMO)

Ok, 'jokes' was a bad term because they are by no means jokes in terms of the game. They are there to win and I think they just might do that. What I was meaning was direct, immediate threats in my post earlier. Right now, as a threat to her, they are 'jokes'. First off - she thinks they are on her side and together with her and James. Even though we know they really aren't, they aren't going to win an HOH so they won't be putting her out. They might talk to people to get her out, but they won't actually do it themselves until a few weeks from now. Direct threats this week to Janie (and Howie by default since he would go up with her): Erika and Dani. Be they women or not, they are the two who are trying hard to win HOH and want Jani out, yesterday. She wouldnt be smart at ALL to put up Marci either because everyone would vote him out in a heartbeat. She needs someone who will have enough votes to make it possible for Dani to leave. Marci would not accomplish that at all. Neither would CG.
