Thanks Dzzyedge!! And it's exactly like I said... what we heard were the HGs talking about their OWN interpretations. It was a good post and definitely sounds just like Janelle. Sounds like she had a blast, even if the entire thing started out by her hearing the nasty comments from Eric. (Which, needless to say, doesn't suprise me any as he is the type who has to tear others down in order to build himself up.) I hadda laugh when Janelle asked what? Did she have a private convo with D/D in the spinning teacup? And as I said before, the producers set down the rules for her. She's not stoopid. She did what she was told to do. Had she said or done anything that would've compromised the game, they'd have stopped it. Janelle was very specific about the fact that she cheered everyone on, hugged everyone, and showed no favorites. Janie didn't do or say anything that would influence the game in any direction. BTW, when you "catch the last part of a convo" you also catch the "last part" out of context. Stating that something was said verbatim when you only caught the tail end of something doesn't make it so.

Janie has her own interpretation too. I'd imagine the truth lies somewhere in between. Course, the "truth" and bb is an oxymoron.

Costa- RE: Has Jessica done anything to win kudos from anyone? Has she played the game, or has she spent most of the game doing what Eric tells her to do? Does winning 2 hoh's, 2 food competitions, surviving the first twist and staying longer than your rival, combatting a bad earache the first week making it so you couldn't hear anyone when you were supposed to be making key relationships, losing your best friend in the house week 2, and effectively staging the coup that split the house week 5 by not idily waiting for the person you were closest to by that time to be taken out execution-style nothing? All the while not having a single enemy until week 7 or 8? She did make a mistake last week by not fighting harder for what she wanted. Eric gave her a couple of opportunities to state her case and she didn't use them. There was nothing he could do though due to AP. If Jameka/Amber had played more strategically and had been less inclined to tear down Eric to Jess, this would have all been a much different week. I think Jessica has seriously played the game, just in her own way.

She won two HOHs. I don't count food comps as those are team competitions (she wouldn't have won them without her team). She survived the twist because her "enemy" acted like a rug and let the others walk all over her. If she lost her best friend in week 2, she immediately recovered with a new BFF. So no, I don't think she's done much of anything.

I rather doubt if there is a woman who is reading this that would have been able to respond to the things Eric said before she even was revealed in nearly the positive manner that Janelle did. Whereas Eric was unable to recognize that Janelle was a guest of BB, Janelle was able to maintain herself to have the decency to still cheer him on in an equal manner to the others. Eric evidently thought everyone else was going to think he was funny but I don't think it amused the other houseguests. Even Jess said she liked Janelle. Dick has as him several times why he did that and when Eric still said Janey looked like miss piggy told him no you know she doesn't. I think Eric has a little hoof and mouth disease.

I was in Grand Rapids, Minn (Janelle's home town) today, for the big Labor Day celebration, and went to Janie's Mom's antique store to see Janelle (it stated on her website that she would be there). Janie wasn't there, but Ann (Janelle's mom) called Janie, who spoke to me at length on the phone, then invited me and my husband to her house for a visit! We spent the afternoon with Janelle and Bear, and discussed this very topic (among several others) at length. She did NOTHING to influence the houseguests, and cheered each of the contestants during the comp. Big Brother was watching every move, and listening to every word. The producers are not going to allow the game to be compromised! Some people are just waiting to cause a scandal, or create a conspiracy theory, but there isn't one here! BTW, you will not find a sweeter, more kind young woman anywhere. She is an absolute doll.

Dick has joked around about being hated by the Christians and going to get beat up by this one's dad, husband, or bf but frankly I don't think he really gives a rat's arse. I am still amused that no one has seen any of this at all and somehow we can micro analyze something no one has seen or were there for.

Shop, I agree with you about micro analyzing, but it should work both ways. People have been just as quick to say Janelle was great and Eric was not without seeing the POV comp. I like Janelle, I really do, but in Eric's defense and POV aside, she has openly and publicly made fun of and bashed Eric's appearance too (examples; weasel, ferret face, short little troll, pond scum, hideous looking, etc). I am not giving either one of them a free pass just b/c one is more likeable than the other. While I do think they are entitled to their opinions, I feel both of them should be less vocal about it and are being rude/disrespectful to each other and their respective fans. I personally am a fan of both. JMO.

Danslulu, how fun for you!!! I'm glad to hear someone confirm firsthand what I've always thought... she's really sweet. The difference Klaw, is that some of Janelle's comments were made AFTER Eric's. And what she's said is what others have said about him. Eric is rude and disrespectful constantly, almost without stopping.

See Klaw, I never knew that and if you had not posted it just then I never would. Could it be that because you had knowledge of her statements prior to this that maybe you read into some of the comments in the house? See, I never knew who she liked, didn't like etc etc.... then I heard what Eric said and her following comments along w/ other posters... so, therefore I really did not read into anything she said.

I think it's one thing for Eric, Dick or anyone else trashing other players but it is another thing when someone(in this case Janelle) who is a special guest is treated rudely. I think thats inexcuseable and shows that Eric must be suffering from "Janellousy". He must be thinking he is the big twist "America's player" and he will be far more popular that Janelle. Boy does he have a surprize coming to him.

If you read Janelle's posts on her fan site, she calls Eric a bunch of names after she explains what happened when HE called her names. And... HAHAHAHA. Janellousy! I forgot about that word, but oh, yeah, that suits Eric to a "t"! Yeah, Cmist, he's gonna find out that America's Player is NOT America's Favorite Player this season. Although if he's really as smart as he says he is, he'd have figured that out by now.

Ummm... Sun, how did you see the Veto comp when it was not on feeds or anywhere else as of yet? I am really amazed right now that no one anywhere has seen this comp as of yet only heard the HG's and Janie talk about it and someone says they have seen it? It was not shown on feeds at all.

See Klaw, I never knew that and if you had not posted it just then I never would. Could it be that because you had knowledge of her statements prior to this that maybe you read into some of the comments in the house? Exactly. Janelle said these things on her website, in chats at Jokers, and she even made her dislike for Eric known on Housecalls before the POV comp. She was in a chat at Jokers right before she left for the POV bashing Eric. IMHO, that is exactly why people were quick to believe what the houseguests were saying. I think it's one thing for Eric, Dick or anyone else trashing other players but it is another thing when someone(in this case Janelle) who is a special guest is treated rudely. Eric did not know she was there when he said it and according to the houseguests he apologized to Janelle for being an . Sorry, but I believe Dick in that regard. I really don't think he would have said that if he knew she was there, but then I don't like to assume the worst in people. If Eric avoided Janelle after, perhaps it's probably b/c he was embarrassed? }Big Brother is not a popularity contest. It's a game. I really don't believe Eric is there trying to compete with Janelle's popularity...lol. He doesn't have to like her or think she is attractive b/c others do. JMO. If you read Janelle's posts on her fan site, she calls Eric a bunch of names after she explains what happened when HE called her names. That's simply not true. Almost all of it was said prior to the POV comp and not just on Janelle's fan site. This is why people believed she had something to do with the banner too.

Btw, while the POV comp will be on tonight, I don't think any of the viewers will ever know everything that happened during those three hours. There were people who heard the conversations between Dick and Dani on the live feeds that merely responded to it and expressed their opinions. Janelle's version is significantly different than theirs. For example, Janelle said it just slipped when she told Dani she loved her and Dani said she kept telling her. Jameka even commented on it. Nick did an interview yesterday and said he may have had something to do with the 153 and bandana comments from Janelle, which is exactly what I thought. Sorry, but I don't think that's fair. http://bb8dish.blogspot.com/2007/09/quickie-interview-with-nick.html

I am still amused that no one has seen any of this at all and somehow we can micro analyze something no one has seen or were there for. the post is clear- dick has joked around but no one has seen it? Yes we did. I have a feeling based on some replies that people are seeing the words VETO COMP somewhere in there. I sure dont, so why would anyone think that is what I'm commenting on when I cut n pasted the direct quote?

Nick met Janie ONE time, and one time only. She liked Dani way before she met Nick and she watches the feeds and reports so she knew what the bandana and 153 meant.
