I think if left to themselves, the hamsters would vote out Janelle before James because they feel more immediately threatened by her. But knowing Janie's popularity, I think the producers will do everything in their power (twists, competitions that play to Janie's strengths, etc.) to keep her in there. I honestly think that if Janey were evicted early in the game, there would be an 'America's choice' vote to put a houseguest back in the house. And who would that be but Janelle?
I thought Janey was great when she was the underdog against the nerd herd, but I am liking her gameplay a lot less this time. The fake 'dumb little me' act is fine with her enemies, but with her own alliance? With Kaysar? It is really annoying.
I have seen the feeds for the first time this season and whether you like them or not -- I think Will, James, and Danielle are the smartest schemers. I hope they stay around awhile, stirring things up.
