PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
Winning competitions is a very small part of the game. Being HOH gives you certain advantages but it won't win you the $500,000. The largest part of the game is social. Being able to win people over is how you win in this type of game.
Maggie serving Kool-Aid to her minions is a smart move on Maggies part. The Friendship Alliance never turned on each other and in the end they voted for Maggie who had established herself as a leader, friend and confidante among her alliance members.
Isolating yourself is never a good idea when winning depends on the votes of the people you are isolating yourself from. Janelle takes alot personally. She doesn't want to talk to people she doesn't like. That's not smart in a game like this. You have to know where people stand at all times and you have to manage their perception of you.
A large part of the reason Will is able to manipulate Janelle is because of her isolation and the unwillingness to communicate with other HG. Essentially, Will can tell her almost anything. It is also the reason why just about everybody in the house is in on the manipulation except she and Howie. She is cutting her own throat in this game and she doesn't even know it.
BB like Survivor is about human interaction not winning comps. As a matter of fact, winning lots of comps can cause you to lose the game not win it.
