I don't think so. Why would BB allow Janie to talk to the HG's? I'm not surprised she did; I love Janie and all, but she's done nothing since All Stars and I guess is trying to get herself out there again. Still, not appropriate. This is the second time BB has allowed Dani info from the outside perceptions (Nick's letter being the first.)

I think it's as fair as Eric getting outside information from AP choices. Janie planned on being fair and impartial to all the hgs. Eric with his Miss Piggy remark blew that one. Would you be nice to someone who just called you that?

As far as doing nothing since All Stars, that was her choice. She is keeping busy and loving her life.

Milo, I see your point but her agreement to be on Veto should have been no interaction with HG's.

As for Eric, he is AP, Dani is not. Of course he will get info.

Holly had interaction in BB6. So did all the All Stars during the food comp. Holly very markedly liked Janie more, well most of us did.

I am sure that Janie knew not to and did not talk about anything game wise. I doubt that Janie gave her any outside perspective.

It ireally is not much different than say when the houseguests got 3 minutes in the DR to head news articles, or when Neal Patrick Harris came in, or when they get Phonecalls from home...no harm done.

I thought it was incredibly unfair that Janelle was cheering Daniele, Dick, and Zach on during this comp and made her dislike for Eric well known, especially since the three of them were considering backdooring Eric this week. Dani was already suspicious of Eric to begin with and Janelle was more than aware of that prior to agreeing to host the competition. Whatever was said, Daniele took it as yet another message that she needs to get Eric out of there.

The difference between Eric and Janelle, IMO is that Eric is a houseguest who is supposed to influence the game and Janelle was just a host. She should not have been allowed to interact with any of the houseguests, IMHO.

Also, Janelle has made her opinions regarding Eric well known on her website, in chats, on Housecalls, etc. I don't think Big Brother should have allowed her to host a competition with that in mind.

I really liked Janelle in her seasons, but I am disappointed in her. I do not condone anyone making fun of someone's weight by any means. However, despite Eric's often rude and vile comments, I believe he deserves the same opportunity to win as everyone else in that house. Ironically, Janelle favors two houseguests that have totally ridiculed Jen's appearance on more than one occasion, but hates Eric for it? I don't get that at all.

JMHO.

Eric has been able to stay in the game because of DR manipulations. He already is well aware the public doesn't like him, re the having to ignore Jess task.

Milosmom, but America has been voting his way for the last couple weeks. He has been doing what majority wanted by protecting D/D and staying loyal to JEDD. IMO, the Donatos would be gone now if it weren't for Eric (which is probably going to cost both him and Jess the game), but it's still not enough for some D/D fans. That's beside the point though...lol.

Even if Eric does know America hates him, the other houseguests do not. Eric was already trying to justify that Janelle didn't like him over his rude comment and had nothing to do with the game. JMO.

I am sure that's the way the houseguests will take it too Klaw. Ironic he said that right before she came out, so I don't think they will think Janie is representing America, just her own opinion. Dani just wants a reason to get rid of Eric. They all have to get rid of each other at some point anyway. I have seen a lot of "off with her head" comments re Janie this morning, and I am in protective mode. Sorry.

I think without knowing the inside scoop, there are a lot of speculations based on nothing going on here.

While I am a Janie fan, and wanted D/D to do well on this comp, I haven't seen any information other than what the houseguests have said.

My point is, perhaps the game was played and then there was some discussion. Nobody here has seen the competition, so it just seems premature to get upset about it. I haven't read where the houseguests are very concerned about Janie's comments affecting their chances in the POV competition. With this group, I'm sure we would have heard their yells of "foul" loud and clear.

Also, yes Eric has been given some "hints" about who is popular in the house and who isn't. Yes, it's part of his role as AP. Then again, he has the inside scoop more or less, to who may be being perceived by "America" to be the bad guy. He not only has the chance to win the $500,000...he has had the opportunity to win a ton of money in excess of that.

I used to be a big Janelle fan, but given her public support for the Donatos this year, I have lost 100% respect for her.

That's a shame Markman, but your right. I still like talking and interacting with Janie in her chatroom. She is a Holly fan, but I don't hold that against her.

This was just another way for Allison to support her beloved contestants, the Donatos. Janelle was there only because Alison wanted it and did only what she was scripted to do.

With Eric using Jess to gain favor with the viewing audience, no doubt Allison wanted to stamp that little distraction out as fast as possible.

It's funny how people read things. Eric read that Janie cheering on Zach meant that he was popular with America ,asking does this mean he is a popluar charcter , while someone else could have read, she must feel really sorry for him that no one in the house likes him. The house guests are so starved for outside interaction they will read something a 1000 different ways. I also cannot believe Janelle said anything in any commtted fashion about whether she liked or did not like Jen. She may have just shrugged her shoulders and because of Daniele's intense dislikes of Jen, she read it the way she wanted to. Janelle has been pretty consistent in her support of Jen.

Marksman - Janie has gone down in my eyes too because of her rooting for D&D.

Not only has Janelle come out in support of the Donato's, but Julie Chen has publicly said she also likes one or both of them. With Janelle's appearance and conversations, I'm now thinking it may have been a strategic move to let the others know that they should try to get DD out ASAP.

Kidsatm probably summed it all up so much better than any discussion can. If Janie had been a fan of Eric/Jess, there would be an equal number of people (me included) saying "not fair."

I'm not too proud to admit that I'm happy with who Janie rooted for. I still contend that we don't have enough information to nail her to the cross.

If you liked Janelle, why would her support of someone, anyone, cause you to dislike her? We all have favorites for whatever reason. That doesn't mean that I only like those that feel the same as I.

Me too Bon, its just a GAME. Some of my favorite posters are big anti Dick/Dani fans.

Janelle could have been scripted to say what she said and it could have been meant to be a wakeup call for the others. I don't think what she said was said by accident. BB is a game of luck and skill (mentally).

Eric has been given more than hints in the DR. He knows what the CBS popularity polls have been. He's passed that info on to Jess. He told her about Amber's numbers last week, and told her that Jen was #2 one of the weeks Jen was on the block.
