The way I can see the interaction as being something that might affect the game is that, IMO, she did seem to favor D/D ... the bandana comment, the comments about being hot and smelling good, the aside to Dick of the eye rolling at Eric ...

These all indicate that SHE likes D/D.
And the assumption would be if Janelle likes D/D, then probably many viewers like D/D, too.

Granted, its similar to when a player wins an America's Choice prize ... they all get a little insight into who the viewers like.

Its also similar to when Eric gets instructions for America's Player tasks.

I loved Jani on the show last night. I don't think she would ever pass on any info that would hurt the game, Does she have ones she Likes Yes but then so do we.

Finally watched the show, and wondered what the hell all the fuss was about. I agree with Darclyte and Biloxibelle.
Eric opened his mouth, as he so often does, and stuck his foot in it, and embarrassed HIMSELF.
Janelle, from what we saw, tried to be the bigger person and treated them all with equal enthusiasm, especially since only SOME of them tried to interact with her- she responded to those who did, and, as she said in her own defense, Eric was the only one who didn't speak to her.
If she only responded if she was spoken to, she can't be accused of deliberately trying to affect anything. She didn't initiate, she only reacted to them.
I thought she handled hearing Eric's spiteful comment moments before she had to appear on camera quite professionally. I'd have wanted to smack his chops, and she even gave him a hug, ugh!
I'm also thinking of all of the other occasions in previous seasons when people came back into the house - did any other of these have so much discussion about such appearances spoiling the integrity of the game?
Pullease! Eric being America's Player and having the reactions of John Q. Public to mull over has given him a distinct advantage so far - perhaps having Janelle in the house has just levelled the playing field for the rest of them.
Once again, I'm blaming the producers; it was their decision to have Janelle come back, so if there's anyone to rip on, I'll rip on them, not Janelle; she did a good job.

I really do like Janelle and read her response on her website on Eric's comments and was glad she took the high road. What made me scratch my head though was the fact that she likes Dani so much, yet Dani was cackling like a wet hen at Eric's remarks after he made them and Janelle didn't seem to have any ill-will towards Dani at all. Don't get that one.

Sometimes when people laugh, it's not in agreement, it's due to the absurdity of a comment or at the gall of the person saying it.

As I was watching last night I wondered what the fuss was all about as well. Didn't see how Janie talking to a few houseguests could effect the game. They all had to spin and try to solve the puzzles. As others have said, if it hurt anyone's game it hurt ED's as he was too busy flirting and looking cute.

I think the favoritism was very obvious but I don't know that it hurt the game at all. D/D have big egos anyhow so knowing Janelle liked them just puffed them up some more but I don't think it affected the game. Inappropriate yes, but I don't think it affected the outcome. I like Janelle but I don't think she took the high road unfortunately both with the eyeroll and the comments she has made. I think she would have been better off ignoring the controversy. As far as why Eric upset her and Dani didn't, well I think that is because she liked Dani prior to this and so would forgive it and she did not like Eric even before this happened.

I didn't get the impression that Eric said the Miss Piggy comment after the morpho had become clear. I got the feeling that he thought it was Miss Piggy when it was swirling. So, I'm not sure why it was so offensive to everyone. Just the way that he did on the rest of the morpho convinces me further that he really thought it was a morph of Miss Piggy as it was swirling. I don't think he saw the picture of Janie Doll and called her Miss Piggy.

That being said, we loved seeing Janelle again, but found it yukky that she was flirting with Dick. I hope she didn't have to step in any of his spit.

I finally watched the show and she def. said "153" to Daniele when she hugged her goodbye. I'd say that's a little preferential, even though it was passed on from Nick. I still don't think they should have the evicted HG's hanging with anyone who is going back to the house before the end of the current season.

i don't think so webchiq. eric clearly said she gained weight while in the house and that picture must be after that time.
i meant it as a dig. he even said, open mouth insert foot. jameka made a comment to him, oh, oh, eric!
he was being his usual eric self.

I can't understand why anybody would be at all surpised at Janell's interaction with the Donato's.
This entire year of BB has been biased towards them, and Janell went in with the instructions from the producer. IMO, she was doing as she was instructed.

Webchiq I also thought he said that while the face was still morphed. Granted he shouldn't have made the weight comment, but it's not like he was the first one to ever do that either! It was in poor taste for him to say that but her reaction has been in poor taste also. And Dick bashing all of the women in the house after seeing Janelle was also rude.

She did gain weight in the house. She still looked beautiful but, she is the one, who talked about how much weight she gained in the house, while in for AS. He didn't have to point it out but he is not smooth with the ladies, by any means.

She is heavy for a girl her size. She is very thick. I wouldn't call it buxom *shrug* just big boned.

She can have Dick - both of them are yucky in my book.

I love them both. I would love to be "thick" like Janie.

LOL Hyper. If a size 4 is thick, then I'm in some serious trouble. She's curvy (she has hips and a waist and boobs). Buxom is due to bust size and not to anything else.

FWIW, the entire season has been slanted for Eric. Not the Donatos. Again, how are the producers gonna know, before the show begins, how any of the HGs will be received by the public? Eric was probably supposed to be the star of the season. Unfortunately, far too many people dislike him, his actions, and his gameplay, so he, essentially, screwed himself this season. I think he's going to be surprised how much he's NOT the fan fav this season.

Janelle "thick"? *boggle* I thought she looked gorgeous last night. I might even have to have a straight girl crush on her.

Of course, according to America's Next Top Model, size 8 is "plus size."

What an <77> world we live in.

Since America votes this year and Janie is definitely America's favorite, I think her words could have an effect. Now, she has a right to her own opinion, but when she appears in a BB related venue, I have to think it is not fair to the other HGs for her to give an opinion.

I think Denecee was talking with her tongue planted firmly in her cheek.

have to wonder too how she took Dick's remark later after the show about her being "a great piece of ass."

Eric did try to speak to her. He apologized for his remark. She ignored it and flitted on by. I love Janelle, but let's be fair.

Allie, and afterwards, he said she looked a <55>. His apology was not sincere.

And perhaps his later comment was a direct result of her brushing off his apology.

Allie, I sincerely doubt it. Eric has made comments about Janelle any time S6 and All-Stars was brought up. He doesn't like her, which is fine.

Our Janie can do no wrong, pure and simple. She is a goddess, I love her.
