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."
One thing all the winners have in common is powers of persuasion. How does Janelle persuade people to do what she wants? She nominates two women, and then orders her alliance to knock that person out. As Howie said in last night's show, she's the HoH, so her plan is the plan. She is unable to explain her nominations even to her own alliance. She is not able to explain to them why she's protecting Marci. A good strategist would cover all the bases and have a story at the ready!
Instead, she trips through the social part of the game and wins competitions that get her from one week to the next, but even if she made it to the final two (which she would only be able to do via competitions), but she does not have the persuasiveness to win the votes at the end.
As for isolation, you can't even compare Janelle's seclusion with Maggie's seclusion. Maggie's was strategic; she kept her sheep close to her and away from anyone who may try to lure them away from the cult. Janelle secluded herself because she didn't like people.
Competitions allow people like Janelle to advance in the game. The really skilled players are the ones who make it to the end without the protection of the HoH title or the Veto.
