Am I wrong here? She is here because she won competitions, not because of her game strategy. By "smart" I mean game strategy smart, not memorization smart. My point from the beginning is that she is still her because she wins competitions, not because of who she associates with. When is comes to game strategy it leaves a lot to be desired.

My bad - I was watching the show where Janelle put up CG instead of Boogie. I am not talking about everyone else in the house because most (except CT) have proved to be morons. Janie had the chance near the end to finally get Boogie out but she chose to put up CG instead - thats right - that was quite smart - he was a threat that had to be dealt with!>

I can't really say this any slower but let me try again...she is here because she won competitions, NOT because of her strategy. When it comes to strategy her judgement was quite clouded. Again, ...IN SPITE of her clouded jugement she is here. It is so simple to say that "She's here so her strategy must have been good"....key word here being simple.

My point is disputing the earlier statement "And everyone who thought Janie was stupid for teaming up with Will? Looks like it took her to final 3, with a good chance at facing the jury." This is where my issue originated but it keeps being ignored - teaming up with Will did nothing to advance her to the final 3 - nothing. I have no idea how anyone could say it helped her but of course it won't be addressed.

>"That is SO WRONG. She is in the final 3 because of how she played the competitions, not who she alligned herself with. Your statement directly infers that she is in the final 3 because in part of alligning herself with CT. Please explain how aligning herself with CT as opposed to others helped her."

Hedging? Where is the "hedging?" All I see is once again a question not being answered. Did CT help Janie? No....not that I could see. I thought my points was crystal clear. Janie helped CT but CT never once helped her. Again, I am disputing any claim that aligning with them took her to the final 3.

Again, are we watching the same
show?

Janelle would have
lost to Danielle.

That is far from a given.

Exactly how could James have ousted her if she was winning every POV? We must not be watching the same show - again, I agree with you there.

She

Another case of us not watching the same show. She got to the end by winning every comp so exactly how would she have been a bigger target? Was she not put up there every time she did not win a HOH? How much of a bigger target could one be? Would she be better off with CG in the final 3 or Will/Boogie? I guess we need to dance around that question too.

>Will only has Boogie's vote for
>sure.

Yup, and Janie has only Howie's vote for sure...Erika is a much stronger vote for either CT member. Janie doesn't have a 2nd strong vote. If you are counting on CG as a strong vote then expect to expect the unexpected. I still like my odds of Will winning over Janie - hands down.

I think that just about sums it up. "Janie is not dumb" is the funniest statement I have heard in a while. Even the throngs of LOJ admit she is, but the few diehards refuse to admit it and hide behind the "She's made it this far" logic. Making it this far does not make you smart - ask Cowboy.

With that said I'm still happy if she wins....but if she loses to Will or to Boogie she's got nobody to blame but herself because this is the way she wanted it. If she wins against Will then she proves me wrong. If she beats CG in the finals....oh...wait...nevermind...she had to cut him loose - he made her a big target while he was there!!
