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."
Shakes makes a fair point in his usal blunt fashion -- the lengths Janelle's fans will go to elevate her and diminish her competitors often stetch the bounds of belief.
How does one define who is 'mentally healthy' and who is not? It seems to really be a synonym for the actors/players who that person is rooting for. If so, does that make the ones I like the mentally healthy ones, and the ones I dislike mentally unhealthy? Are the players who tell lies mentally unhealthy or just playing a game? Have we seen any real evidence of mental illness (delusions? hallucinations? suicidal behavior? violent or aberrent behavior? unprovoked laughing? sobbing?) or are we just seeing how different people behave in an unusual environment?
And what has Janelle done to demonstrate she is mentally healthier than the next person? Would anyone who is truly mentally healthy participate in such a program? Is one's appearance on Big Brother alone enough to warrant a diagnosis of mental illness? I could go on all day.
