"Janelle is Shy" |
Oh sure she is what my daughter would call a "foo foo girl" , with all her products and grooming, but it is all a front. She wants to be liked, and she sometimes seems awkward in making connections with people, especially other women.She liked Nakomis, talked about how much she liked her, but I doubt that Nak ever knew that Janie wanted to be friends with her. I know women like Janelle, they seem vain, but it's really insecurities that drive them to worry about how they look. Because she is pretty, people don't realize she is shy, and take her shyness for standoffish. She is confident about her abilities in competitions, but in relationships, she isn't as confident. She wants to be liked. That is one of the reasons she likes Will, why she listens to him, because he talks to her, he doesn't talk down to her. Now I am sure that many of you will dissagree with my take, many will still think she is stuck-up and vain , but I ask that you look at her as shy, and see if it doesn't fit. I'm not saying you have to like her, or her gameplay, but I think she is being judged very harshly. Maybe take another look, and see her as a person. Seriously, I think she is shy.

1. "RE: Janelle is Shy" |
Buggy, I'm going to agree with your post. People do misinterpret shyness as being rude or stuck-up, even if you're a guy. I tend to get kinda quiet and reserved when I'm around a large group of people, specially if they are strangers. Often times, my shyness does get confused with arrogance. So, I can see how this may translate to someone like Janelle. I don't know if she's necessarily shy in the conventional meaning of the word or if she's insecure because she doesn't want to come across as a stereotype (even though she can play one for the cameras), but there's something about her that rubs people the wrong way, yet I don't think it's ill-intent on her part. It's unfair and sad to see her become the target of so much hatred that goes far beyond the strategy of the game. The fact that she can survive through all that negativity leads me to think that she's probably used to being vilified in the outside world. Ok... I'm gonna stop now before I continue over-analyzing this whole thing to a bloody pulp. =)

Janelle shy?Naw but insecure? yes Any female in their twenties who feels the need to bleach their hair, have a boob job, etc and talks about other females the way she does is a sign of insecurity.
She is exactly like those so called IN crowd we all know about in high school.....she is a bully towards females and feels the only way to make herself feel good is to bad mouth others. Think about it: She on the feeds last season bad mouthed Diane saying she was ugly and why would Drew even giver her (Diane) the time of day. Now mind you she Jan hadn't even met Diane yet is trashing her on the live feeds. She has bad mouth each female in the house this season feeling she is the queen and they are the peasants. And the show plays into that because she is the bleached blonde busted female males love....so she is put in the light of being the nice one, the shy one, etc. for the viewers. Feeds tell a totally different story.
IF she was secure with herself, loved ehrself, etc she wouldn't feel the need to feel she is above all other females and to use her outside appearances to play the guys.
Then when she does make an incorrect decision she takes on the dumb blonde attitude never owning that she was indeed wrong. And all of the above will be her downfall as it was last season. Once the guys were gone she had no game play with the females cause she had bad mouthed all of them also. Most secure females see Jan as she really is: An insecure child who feels she can say and do anything and not be accountable....a Bully

Could you please cite examples from the live feeds that support your statement? When exactly has Janelle trash talked Erika, Nakomis, Diane, Allison, or Danielle?? > >She is exactly like those so >called IN crowd we all >know about in high school.....she >is a bully towards females >and feels the only way >to make herself feel good >is to bad mouth others.
Again, please cite examples of how Janelle has bullied anyone in the house, besides nominating or evicting someone (since this is part of the game). > >Think about it: > >She on the feeds last season >bad mouthed Diane saying she >was ugly and why would >Drew even giver her (Diane) >the time of day. >Now mind you she Jan >hadn't even met Diane yet >is trashing her on the >live feeds. Janelle's comments about Diane weren't any nastier than what Diane herself has said about Janelle or the other women in her own season (BB5). I also think it's funny that you accuse Janelle of trashing Diane without really knowing her. Aren't we all guilty of that when we come onto these boards? We all trash people that we don't really know and form opinions of people that we'll never get to meet. > >She has bad mouth each female >in the house this season >feeling she is the queen >and they are the peasants. Again, I've been reading the live feed summaries religiously since the season started. When exactly did this happen? We can agree to disagree, but I really don't think that Janelle is the femme fatale that some people believe she is. In fact, I'm starting to believe that she's rather naive (seeing that she's falling in Will's web and not even realizing it). I believe she did very well last season because the lines had been drawn from the very beginning. Janelle didn't need to rely on strategy, manipulation or lying to get ahead. She only needed to win competitions and that's exactly what she did. On BB All-Stars, she seems to be floundering and torn about the true nature of the game: deception and manipulation. This became evident when Will was coaching her to lie and Janelle said "But, I don't play that way". I guess the bottom line is that everyone has their likes and dislikes. I still think Janey rocks, in spite of her ill-fated choices.

10. "RE: Janelle is Shy" |
Typically, when one is the constant "victim" of "jealousy", in order to, find the reason why. This "victim" only has to examine the common deniminator. HERSELF.Sure Janelle may be shy but why trash talk Diane when she doesn't even know her. She gave Diane a reason to trash her. Janelle struck first. And if she wants to show other women that they don't bother her then why not confront them on why they don't like her. Oh I forgot Diane didn't like poor Janelle because Janelle trashed her on the live feeds. So Janelle is fully aware of the reason for the hostility and instead of trying to squash it she kept it going. That doesn't sound like some shy wallflower to me. That sounds like someone who is an aggressor not a "victim". Also, has anyone considered the possibility that Janelle is actually jealous of other women. People who claim everybody is doing something to them are usually projecting their feelings onto others.

8. "RE: Janelle is Shy" |
I agree with you. My bestest told me 10 or so years ago that my shyness comes across to others as "not caring". Another girl I worked with said that I appear to "have it all together" and when she got to know me she found out what a mess I am. (Those that read my blog know this!).I've liked Janie both seasons. The people who are bashing her must not have seen her real anquish when she nominated Diane. She did it for strategic reasons, not personal. And Diane is so not likeable with her whinning about being poor. It a Tribe original!!!

18. "RE: Janelle is Shy" |
I agree that Janelle was manipulated by ChillTown. But, the truth is it was her own alliance, particularly James who are indirectly responsible for Diane's backdooring. Janelle's initial plan was to backdoor Danielle, but she was persuaded not to do that by her own alliance. Evicting Danielle would have been a smarter choice. She wasn't going to evict CT after making a deal with them. She wasn't going to evict Marcellas because she considered him a friend. Chicken George would have been a wasted eviction when you have bigger fish to fry. And even though Erika was on the block, she wasn't the real target for Janelle. She didn't even want to nominate Diane because they had reached an understanding the previous night. She only reconsidered to put up Diane, when James convinced her to spare Danielle. She had no other option but to go after the lesser of two evils, namely Diane.

I disagree. I remember during that episode Janelle made the comment that her target was Diane.

I agree completely. And to the posted that suggested she was insecure.....same thing. I personally remember hanging with a crowd of girls and one of them told me that I should be friendlier because there was always talk at the lunch table (in my absence) about what a "snob" I was. If they only knew....I was truly shy and apparently very insecure. Aren't we all to some degree?? I also agree with the suggestion that her defenses could be up because she's been a victim of jealousy. I think in your 20's ppl really do like to be "liked"..... It's so liberating when you get to the point...that you like yourself enough and that's all that really matters.

Hi buggy.I think Janelle is also vulnerable. Her feelings can get hurt easily. She puts on an act to cover that up. I think she is loyal to her alliance and will do all she can to protect them. I think she will be hurt when she discovers how James has betrayed her and the BB6 alliance. Kaysar certainly was. Then he got mad. Let's hope Janelle follows the same pattern. Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

Hi Chatt! It's been good to see you back on the boards. I always enjoy reading your voice.I agree about James. Everytime he says, " We'll see after the game who was loyal" I cringe. I think she is easily hurt, I don't think she is as confident with people. I conpletely agree that she works hard to cover her insecurities. I think Marcie has already hurt her. She did consider him a friend, she was genuine in her caring for him. James she was worried about, Marcie she trusted. That is really going to hurt her.

I agree with you. I think she's going to be mad at James, but I don't get the sense that she cares for him much outside of the house. On the other hand, I got the sense that she really cared for Marcellas and she's going to be really hurt by all the nasty things that he's said in the Diary Room. It's one thing to trash her with the Floaters to keep their relationship undercover. But, he should be able to be himself in the Diary Room and say "I love Janelle but I need to pretend I hate her with the floaters to avoid being a target". Instead, we get the same hatred and venom in the Diary Room. I've said this once and I'll say it again. With friends like Marcellas, who needs enemies.
