I like Janelle and while I don't like D/D it's okay with me that she does. It does however disappoint me to hear that while in the house she let it be known who her favorites are. Yes Julie Chen has talked about favorites, but she doesn't let that be known during the show. I don't think anybody involved with any aspect of the show should let it be known who their favorites are when they ae interacting with the HGs. I'm really sorry to hear that happened, but I still like Janelle! It seems to me though she should have been told in advance that she could not say anything to that effect and I doubt she would have done it.

Well I'm "America", and I do really like Eric and Jess. They are the most popular to watch at my house. I wonder how Janelle, or especially little Julie would feel if they were verbally attacked by Dick? I'm surprised that Julie Chen would enjoy a guy like Dick. She seems way too cultured for that, but..you never know about people. I read in IN Touch magazine that she isn't very computer savvy, but is hooked on Showtoo. She said she stays up way too late every night to listen to/watch the houseguests. It's hard for her to get up early the next day, but she said she is obsessed with the show this year.

I didn't say that I didn't like Janie any more. I think Jedi Janie (just typing her name makes me smile!) will always be one of my favorite houseguests but I am very disappointed to find out she supports Dick & Dani. Dick just said such cruel and vile stuff that I am flabbergasted that people can support him. That Janie supports his actions just makes me think less of her than I did before.

I think anything is game in this house as long as AG likes it. It's obvious as she mentioned in an article I read...they make it up as they go and we have so seen how much that is true.

I personally think this show is rigged big time. I never noticed it in past seasons as much as I have this season. It is what it is and you deal.

After reading that Janie likes D/D she dropped a few rungs down the ladder for me. I liked her a lot in BB6 but not so much in BBAS. Now, while I still like her, think she is gorgeous, like her personality, etc., I find myself disappointed in her. It's sort of like finding out my favorite movie star that I've liked all my life is on the opposite side of the political spectrum. I'll still like him but not quite so much.

But all in all the bottom line for me is -- I'm soooo over past HGs. They are old news. When BB9 starts I won't care half so much about which HG I like/hate this year.

ETA: I don't think HGs should get to talk to any outsider. Just MHO.

And Sky conversely I'm SO happy that Janie sees what I do in D/D--2 players that came to PLAY BB and not sit there like lumps and just make friends and coast to the end. Janie was one of the biggest competitors in BB history and I can see why she likes them. It's why I like them as players, even when I don't always like them personally. I tune in to see folks work to win this game.

I don't think I've ever seen more unique strategies this year (we have the "God is winning it for me alliance," the "they all love me so they'll vote for me alliance," which overlaps with the "I'll sleep through the summer and not make enemies alliance." Some of these have overlapped of course. Then there has been the straight out "I'm gonna make up lies and play people against each other based on that" alliance. That has been my least fav and glad that's over (although Eric participated in it w/Dustin and others).

My point is Dick and Daniele are the 2 players that got up there and tried to win Competitions week in week out. They are the players that made deals and against all odds are BOTH still in there. Love em or hate em, they played Big Brother this summer. I don't feel the same can be said for others. And while I may not have always liked HOW they played (Dick's attacks) let's not forget he tried to have alliances and do it other ways and when some woudlnt' even consider it he just found his own unique way lol. And at least he has kept it entertaining on many occassions beyond the fights.

I can see what Janie likes in him/them since it's what I do too. JMHO

ETA wasn't there similar bantering with the slop cooking comp and former HG last year?? I don't recall anyone getting too upset then, but probably because the folks called out were folks we wanted called out lol

If BB thought Janie had crossed the line they would had yanked her out of there. Remember this is not a game show. BB makes thier own rules, etc.

Actually Janie has voiced her opinion about Dick and Daniele in very negative ways, too. She sees what some of us have seen..She said that if she were in the house she would have had an alliance with Nick, Mike and Jen.
Sky- I do know what you mean.

I agree with someone on here who said that they let other BB's read the newspaper and that guy from that show..can't remember what show it was..anyhoo they have let people talk to them in the past..that doesn't bother me..but I don't think they should show favoritism..if that is what happened..but we don't know until we see the cbs edited show.

Exactly!!! lol

Isn't that the truth! lol Last year I didn't know how I'd go on without Janie & Will being together and with a few weeks I forgot all about them. Half the time now I can't even remember houseguests names without going onto cbs.com and looking them up. }

I think this is all part of the game as it is currently set-up. We may or may not get to hear exactly what she said but Janelle's comments can be interpreted any number of ways by the HGs and she is only one person. Just because Janelle likes Dick and Daniele doesn't mean that the majority of fans like Dick and Daniele. As proven here, it doesn't even mean that all of Janelle's fans like Dick and Daniele. However, if she were to clearly say something like, "Don't trust Eric", then that would be completely out of line but I don't think she did that.

Janelle seems attracted to risk takers (the exception being Kaysar). Dick and Daniele fit that category more than anyone else has on the current season.

With respect to lowering ones opinion of someone based on who that person likes I can understand how people might feel that way particularly if the individual in question has done some rather extreme things.

Here is a recap of Janies chat I found.

And now the Janie chat: Just her quotes.
"most fun night ever."
"Coolest comp ever."
"dick flirting with me so bad."
"I told Dani 153."
"I told Dick he was hot and smelled good."
"He was winking and looking at me the whole time. I was blushing."
"Didn't say anything negative to any of the houseguests. I told Jess she was a great cheerleader."
"I told Jam You go girl!"
"BB said don't tell anyone you hate them and they suck."
"I had to cheer for everyone. I cheered for Dani the hardest because she went first. BB said don't cheer so much, they will read into it."
"I guess they already read into it."
"the enitre set was pink and dedicated to my veto wins. Take that James!"
"when Dani won I told her she was the new veto queen."
"I was trying to be nice to all of them. I was so excited to meet them."
"I was cheering for Jameka too. I always did like her."
"D and D are so excited tonight. I am glad I could show them some love."
"Eric was pissed!"
"As soon as I walked out I heard them go oh oh Eric!"
"There was a video of me and then I appeared from my garden of pink roses."
"Gotta go. I am exasheted" (janie's spelling...not mine! LOL)

Now that I like to hear! lol They would have been my pick too except for Nick's obsession with Dani.

She also said that if she were in the house now, she would align with Zach

She likes Zach because she feels he is an underdog and she likes to root for the underdog

Am not happy with Janelle's comment to D/D regarding Jen.....

Do however wonder if Janelle was asked by Allison to make the subtle points she did make (likes and dislikes alike)....all for the show and to provide so more drama for the house....

Janelle's comment could have been scripted by the producers is basically what I am saying here.....Think about it especially if Jen has given a difficult time regarding sequester, Eric's constant decline in polls, D/D's incline in polls and Janelle's comments on house calls....all in all current houseguests and past guests that return are but pawns for the producers to use as they see fit.

Let's not forget that the controversy is only helping the ratings...lots of free publicity. Hollywood motto "make sure you spell the names right"

Lurk - I understand and agree with most of what you wrote in the first 2 paragraphs but here is where we differ:
My point is Dick and Daniele are the 2 players that got up there and tried to win Competitions week in week out.

The first month or so Dani just moped around making eyes at Nick and whining about her dad. I don't think she started playing until after Nick left. I do agree she has been playing since then and if she wasn't related to Dick and had that (what I feel) is an unfair advantage, I might be rooting for her. I could live with a Dani win but couldn't stand to see Dick gloating over it.

They are the players that made deals and against all odds are BOTH still in there.

Dick is only still there because of all the AP stuff. If it wasn't for the things Eric did then Dick would have been out of there long ago. It's not Dick's skill and game playing that kept him there. Plus I feel his bully type behavior has scared people into not putting him up because they saw how cruel he was to Jen. Also Dustin, Eric, Amber and Jameka got a taste of it and didn't want to be in that spot again. That is not the type of game play I respect.

ETA wasn't there similar bantering with the slop cooking comp and former HG last year?? I don't recall anyone getting too upset then, but probably because the folks called out were folks we wanted called out lol

Yup! ITA there!!

Skydiver, I agree that Dick is still there because of AP and not some great game play. In fact, I really believe this would have been completely different if Eric wasn't AP. Dick would have been gone week 2 and Dani would have been gone last week. IMO, the only reason Eric made a deal with Dick and Dani is b/c he knew Dustin was going to be AC and he would be in trouble with LNC5. If Eric used the POV last week and Dani went up, America would start voting to mess his game up again. Dick and Dani both are still there b/c of Eric, IMHO. Likeable or not, I do wish he would get more credit for that.

I don't care for Eric or Dani personally, but as far as the game goes, they are the only strong players there. And Jess may have let Eric run her HOH's, but she was the one to win them. Her strategy, as weak as it may be, helped get her to the F6 and hopefully further. Although doubtful, I still hope for a F3 of Eric, Dani, and Jess - would be happy if any one of them won.

JMO.
