Baa Baa FriendSheep
Boo freaking Hoo Ivette. Maggie and April believe it wasn't America's Choice - it was Big Brother's choice.
Whatevah.
I'm really laughing my ass off watching all of this. No Maggie, what's good TV is seeing the poor sportsmanship in your group. Well that and getting to watch Janelle's phone call with Michael on Tuesday's show.
Congrats Janelle on winning America's Choice!
I was certain I wouldn't like Janelle when she was revealed as one of the hamsters at the start of this. And now? Whodathunkit.
Update on Monday - April used the POV to take Janelle off the block and she put James up in her place.

I did not think that it was possible for me to hate the FS more than i already did. Everything about them especially Ivette makes me so sick. She's the biggest looser of anybody I've seen on TV. I wished they knew the real truth about how the viewers really feel, is there something somewhere that we can write how we dispies them all. We have to let them know. Go Janie!
Posted by: Trish at August 28, 2005 02:32 PM
Ditto, everything you said, Trish. I want to know how we can insure that friendship know how much we dislike them. Especially, since they seem to think they are playing such a clean game.
How will they find out? Just by reading the internet?? That's not good enough, b/c what if they don't dig??

You got it hamsterdame and look at poor poor james too... He is sooo working it!
Posted by: chamy16 at August 28, 2005 02:54 PM
If I hadn't seen James's DR sessions, I would be sucked into his lies about not caring about the game or the money any longer. What a snake...
The Fiendsheep are idiots and have shown America on numerous occasions that they don't respect BB6 viewers and that they think BB doesn't have any integrity. Way to bite the hand that feeds you.
Morons.

Off the topic. Ivette looks so much better with her hair naturally frizzy than w/ the nasty greasy slicked back look.
Posted by: Russ at August 28, 2005 03:38 PM
Apeface aka/April has really done it now. I mean come on now, we already hate her. Telling America we are peices of Sh-it. She has gone too far!! I cannot stand her, and Evilette aka/Evette deserves nothing, the big ugly crybaby. And James is really working this phone call thing I hope April does not change her mind.
Apeface, Maggot, Evilette and Useless Beau, when you gey out of the house I hope you read all the posts, so you really know how much America hates you!! We love Janelle! We did vote for Kaysar and Janie for Americas Choice. BB had nothing to do with it you morons.
Posted by: MadamT at August 28, 2005 03:51 PM
Its so hard to watch those jealous bitches going on about Janelle getting the phone call.I knew they would be upset about it and I have to admit that's one of the best reasons I had for voting for her.Ivette goes on about Rachel being a poor loser and then cries like a little baby. APRIL HAS THE NERVE TO TRY TO TELL JANELLE WHO THEY THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE TALKED TO.They didnt like Michael so she shouldn't either! Also thought she was pretty nasty when she tried to convince Janelle that Michael didn't really like her.She went on to say Michael probably already has another girlfriend and won't want to see her after the wrap party.I'm in total agreement with Trish and Kfwil.I would love to see their reactions to public opinion on the wrap show.
Posted by: alrak at August 28, 2005 04:17 PM
I agree about not biting the hand that feeds you. All that April, Beau, Maggie, and Ivette say is how unhappy they are, what a rat-hole the house is, and how they hate it! Give me a friggin break!!! I would kill for the opportunity to live in a cool pad-with no payments on it-and lay out in the sun, eating myself stupid for an entire summer. What a bunch of ungrateful b@stards they all are! NOTE TO BB PRODUCERS: I'LL GLADLY GO ON YOUR SHOW AND ENJOY AND APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO FOR ME! PICK SOME HOUSEGUESTS NEXT SEASON WITH A LITTLE CLASS!!
Posted by: Jennifer--NOT THAT ONE!!! at August 28, 2005 04:17 PM
You said it NYCntryGirl! Whats this stuff with Evilette refusing to go to the diary room??? BB is paying her for her time and participation in this game and if she doesn't want to participate anymore she needs to give her DOR! Otherwise she needs to do as she's told. She and April are acting like babies!
Posted by: kandj at August 28, 2005 04:18 PM
April has said many times that when James leaves the house all the lies go out the door with him. I don't believe it for a second...these jerks (the friendship)are still talking about things from week two!! I guess it's their way to convince themselves that the deceit they pull is justified.
Posted by: Tree at August 28, 2005 04:27 PM
No. 5 - 6 million votes (not even voters) love Janelle. If that. It doesn't speak for America, or Canada. I, for one, don't see Janelle and Howie being any better than the FS. It's funny that people can hate one side, and then like the other side for doing and being the exact same thing. Go figure.
Anyways, I wanted James to win the phone call as he's the only deserving person left in the house. Ahh well.. Congrats to Janelle on her winning over a very small minority of America, and the other countries' who participate in the vote.
P.S. It shouldn't be called 'America's Choice' as non Americans like myself can vote in it. Heh.
P.S.S. 'The Freindship' are definitely whiners; but they have company in that too as I've seen the others' do their share of whining to.
Posted by: Volourn at August 28, 2005 04:35 PM
I don`t think its fair that every time April is called to the DR,the people back there keep asking her if she is sure of her plan.Anybody watching the live feeds, knows April wants to back door James.BB employees stop trying to change the game.
Posted by: Don at August 28, 2005 04:42 PM
EEH Volourn!! How wrong are you!! America has voted twice now and hmm, well lets see, Kaysar and then Janelle!! Looks like we chose and it speaks volume!! Are you watching the same show in Americas as we are EHH?
Posted by: chamy16 at August 28, 2005 04:57 PM
All of America obviously doesn't hate the Friendship because April is my favorite with Maggie being my second favorite. So I'd appreciate you people speaking for yourselves rather than all of America. And also 10 million(BB viewership) people isn't all of America. In case you didn't know there are over 274 million people in America. So again I implore you not to speak for America; speak for yourself. And also if you think you would stay in a house with no contact with outside world, being paid minimum wage and not complain once you're crazy. I love BB too, but that doesn't sound like it would be exactly a vacation for me.
Posted by: Russ at August 28, 2005 04:59 PM
I just want to clairify hamsterdames comment. April and Maggie did NOT say it was not America's choice they said BB picked who she talked too!! They know America picked janie to recieve a phone call, we never chose WHO they got to talk too! It was stupid anyway, Janie and Michael knew eachother for TWO weeks!! What a LOVE story!!GAG ME!!! It is funny to me how the tables are turned and the FS has the power! Janie, Howie and Snake boy are pointing fingers left and right!! Trying to claw their way to the top. I think it is pretty cool that the FS has even given them the time of day and wants to hear from them!!! And give them a chane to come clean. Considering how they treated the FS and all the shit talk they do. Do you think Janie, Howie and James would give the same consideration??? HELL NO they all suck!
***** Note from HamsterDame - Kar, you don't need to clarify my statement. What I heard was what I heard. They (April and Maggie) said many times over (at least 20 times) that Janelle winning the phone call wasn't America's Choice, it was BB's choice. Interpret it how you want to but that is what was said.
Posted by: Kar at August 28, 2005 05:08 PM
Don, BB asks certain questions to all of the hamsters depending on their situation in the house.
Russ, $750 per week is hardly minimum wage.
Posted by: HamsterDame at August 28, 2005 05:08 PM
Right on Russ! My thoughts exactly
Posted by: mekk at August 28, 2005 05:19 PM
The reason viewers hate "the fiendsheep" so much is because they're the biggest hypocrites in the house. Sure, everyone has their moments to whine about things in the house and each other, but people like Ivette, April, Maggie and Beau seem to relish calling Janelle, Howie and Rachel out and act like they themselves are so high and mighty. Ivette's appalling message to Rachel about her supposed poor sportsmanship was ridiculous. I never saw Rachel do anything in the house that could be considered poor sportsmanship. Ivette, however, cries and pouts anytime she gets put on the block, and now she's pitching a fit because Janelle was voted - by the viewers - to get the phone call. I hope someone sits her down when she's out of the house and forces her to watch her own poor behavior and the forces her to apologize to Rachel, if not everyone else not a part of her group. They're all the biggest bunch of losers ever given a shot in that house. If it gets down to any of them in the final two, the reaction to the win will be exactly like when Jun won - you'll hear crickets chirping because no one will care.
Posted by: Chuckster at August 28, 2005 05:24 PM
he he he... crickets...
Posted by: NYCntryGirl at August 28, 2005 05:50 PM
You know I must say, other than this recent bout of whiney baby stuff, April has really suprised me as HOH. She is finally really thinking about her future in the game. I also like that she has vowed to keep her word to Janie unlike her she-devil partner J'Blo. I also like that she is being up front about her plans and explaining her reasons. She's making sense to me (which is a little scary). Now I still don't like her and her voice is still like nails on a chalkboard BUT I think she's finally shining a far overdue light of honor and graciousness on the fiendship. I am extremely suprised by her.
Posted by: kandj at August 28, 2005 06:19 PM
I can't believe that Ivette is whining like a baby, and April is telling America that we are "pieces of SH*T". OMG, I just hope that niether of them are in the final. GO JAMES, JANELLE, AND HOWIE!!!!!!! May the force be with you! :)
Posted by: Ariel90 at August 28, 2005 06:23 PM
Isn't it bad enough I have to deal with 411 asking me if I need a Spanish option, my supermarket asking if I need to choose Spanish before checking myself out, or my bank telling me I need to "salada" to the left... now I have to deal with fellow BB6 fans telling me that it's not "America's Choice??" Tell ya' what... when I watch the Canada version I'll deal with Canada's Choice. Uk? I'll accept England's Choice. All you super sensitive, PC people... PLEASE spare us your CRAP!! If you are a FS fan, then don't cower behind the curtain that ALL OF AMERICA didn't do you right... in THIS country, friends, majority rules... if you want to become part of the ruling force than stop complaining and get with the program. (If you want to challenge me on that, be prepared, I might add). I, myself, voted for Janelle at least six times. Why? Because I felt compelled to. Because I care about this program and if you are reading this, you do, too. Now, let's simplify... BB is clearly the best show EVER to hit TV... but we have a mob of weirdo freakshows taking over. I dunno, maybe it's the Reality Alliance of 2005--- partner up with a mob of idiots and NO MATTER WHAT--- believe everything they say, do, or tell you. And, please, vote out every interesting person to cross your path... WAIT... it's similiar to the folks who count themselves as the PC, let's hug a tree and wish away all the bad people mentality,,,,, GO JANEY! GO JAMES (fellow Republican!)... GO HOWIE! PLEASE, make this show FUN again... (well, it's not all together boring but I LOATHE the fs... and all I can hear is the Twilight Zone when I think or write that!! EEEkkk...) Night all!
Posted by: Kate at August 28, 2005 06:52 PM
I'm suprised that James didn't win America's Choice. But I can rest easy knowing it was Janelle instead. Kind of dumb though that Janelle talked to Michael. Is that who she said she wanted to talk to if she won?? I don't remember but I'd think that she'd have wanted to talk to someone from her family.
I am soooo glad that I haven't been watching the live feeds. If I'd seen the nerd herd being the nerd herd over the whole America's choice vote, I'd likely have thrown a fit.
Posted by: Lisa at August 28, 2005 06:59 PM
No wonder I don't agree w/ your opinion Kate, you're Republican lol. 1st of all, just because someone is elected to office or win a vote or w/e doesn't mean it's the will of the entire people. It means that it's the will of those who voted. I'm sure there are plenty of BB fans who did not vote. Just like many people do not vote in political elections. 2nd, I have no problem with Janelle getting AC. I do however have a problem with people saying that all of America hates a certain group of people. Which brings me to my final point, anyone who could use the word hate regarding a reality show has serious problems that need to be dealt with. They are people who are under the microscope 24/7, we do not no how we would respond to that situation. Sorry if I offended :)
Posted by: Russ at August 28, 2005 07:25 PM
April's comments on the live feeds, will be that she really didn't say that, it was edited coming out of the house. The fiendship disgust me with their level of hatred towards others. I hope their friends are watching and learning. I wonder how many friends they will lose. If they act like this in the house (obessively bashing everyone and everything) then can you imagine what they must do in real life???
I agree with the earlier post, if the NH takes the house, there will be no viewers to watch because no one will care. BB probably keeps asking April about her plan, so they can keep James around and have some fun in the house. I feel sorry for the BB crew that has to listen to this 24/7. At least we can turn April off!!
HamsterDame - this has been an excellent blog!!

How can any one look them selfs in the mirror and honestly say any of the HG or not lying, sneaky and dishonest.
It's a game and they all all going to lie and do what they have to do to win the money.
I don't understand how you cna defend the Howie & Janie team and then turn around and call the other team names when they are all doing the same thing.
Not all of America think Janelle is perfect.
Just saying my 2 cents worth and now I feel better
Sorry if I have offened any one
Posted by: Mattie at August 28, 2005 08:11 PM
I don't have a favorite player for this years Big Brother but the friendship really pisses me off! Ivette made comments to April and Maggie in the hot tub that showed her true colors today. She said if she doesn't win HOH next week and gets nominated she's not making any speeches at all. She's only angry because she doesn't want them to send James home. She made it sound like she would blame April, Maggie and Beau if she gets nominated. It's her own fault because of the way she's playing the game and who she chose to play with. I'm not a big fan of Janelle because I personally don't like spoiled little bitches who think money is everything. Howie seems to be a follower and does what he is told. April just likes to hear herself talk. Maggie likes to be a silent partner and a smartass. James is a sissy baby who doesn't deserve to have a nice girlfriend like Sarah. Beau is probably the only sain one who happens to be gay. Go figure?? I can't even discribe what Ivette is with words plus I don't have that much time. I hope next seasons Big Brother will have some new and exciting cast members anyways--Thanks for the Blog Trish you do a really good job and I really enjoy your site.
PEACE
***** Note from HamsterDame - When did Trish start writing this blog? LOL
Posted by: Amy at August 28, 2005 08:27 PM
Trish, FS would have to be blind and in total denial not to understand how America feels towards the houseguests when they voted Kayser back in and now vote for a treat for the same team, but then again, they do think rather highly of themselves, so they probably would never admit it anyways
Posted by: Carla at August 28, 2005 09:01 PM
KANDJ I am also pleasantly surprised by Aprils decision to spare Howie and Janelle this week.She seems to be trying to do the right thing by everyone.I find it very self-serving.She knows that James is going to put her & Maggie up the first chance he gets so naturally she wants to get rid of him,She is also trying to mend fences by being up front and cordial to Howie Janelle and James.She has to try and line up some votes since she has her eye on the prize and she doesnt stand a chance of getting Ivettes or Beaus.She is still talking trash about them the minute their backs are turned,and I think she would go back on her word in a minute if she could benefit from it.I will appreciate having Janelle and Howie around next week but I would rather see James in the Finals.He lied to everyone and played this game as dirty as he could but at least he admits it to himself and to us in the DR.He came into this game to win the money and not to make friends.He is keeping his word(I refer to his pre-show interview with Marcellus)The bottom line is she has surprised me because she is actually using her brain this weekand up until now I wasn't sure she had one.
Posted by: alrak at August 28, 2005 11:53 PM
I'm on live feed and the HG's are snoozing... had a thought. Do you think anyone in the FS wakes up in the night, looks around the campsite and thinks "who the hell ARE these people and WHAT am I doing??" I mean it's just so creepy... the shrines, the choice to camp out and share blankets. EVERY NIGHT? I admit it... when the FS wins hoh and they move their blankets in with toothy grins... I cringe.
Posted by: Kate at August 29, 2005 06:35 AM
I am watching everyone talking about how the friendship are whiners, have ya'll not watched the rest of the damn show? EVERYONE in there has whined! Including Janie and Howie! It's pathetic how you all talk about people you do not know! You know characters on a tv show.. If you ask me the people posting on this site are just as whiney as the people on the darn show.. and the reason Russ said MIN WAGE is because that is what YOUR FRIEND HOWIE was btching about when he was acting like achild when speaking to someone... "Go ahead and go sit in sequester making min wage" So I guess with russ saying that he was watching what was being said...
all I have to say is GROW UP PEOPLE! Stop blaming someone for something when at one point everyone in the damn house has done it! Now you all are doing it just as bad as the friendship!
Posted by: OH HEAVENS at August 29, 2005 08:00 AM
Actually, I think some of you who are getting so upset with each other would be fun to watch in there. The arguing does make for good TV.
Posted by: teri at August 29, 2005 11:01 AM
Russ Makes a good point on the word "hate". OH HEAVENS calm down it’s ok, it's ok.
With in the first few weeks of the show Ivetta then Beau first used the term "hate". They have only known these people for a short time yet do to the competition they were able to focus there problems in life into one mass called evil. When they used the word hate, they truly hated the evil. Sadly, this evil was born from there own issues they need to deal with not focus it on a person or group. America can see this and I believe it is this darkness from the word hate that caused the "friendship" to have the appearance of what we have been fighting the hardest against the most, pardon me for saying, terrorism. For America to see a group or individual passionately feel hatred and call and “equal” evil reaches into our patriotic soul to protect, to defend, to abominate. We applaud Cappy for his role in society, but that is what confuses us and makes us more against him the most, the badge he wears the honor he protects mixed with his actions and group he surrounds him self in. The taste of traitor comes to my lips.
Now we see Americans using the word hate. I find it only natural to hate those who hate you. I do not hate them, I morn for there lack of intelligence.
This brings me back to OH HEAVENS comments. Thought some might whine a little more than others, it makes since why we would focus on the “friendship” whiners more.
Those are my thoughts, with hopes not to offend.
Posted by: ZooKeeper1 at August 29, 2005 11:04 AM
Ok, Ok, I've read everyone griping and moaning about this and that...blah blah blah...I've not posted for several days for a couple of reasons
1)Although I am a fan of the Friendship and particularly Maggie, I have been rather upset with the words and actions of them lately.
2)I get tired of defending what I write
3)I feel "out of the game" since there hasn't been a show on the air since last Thursday.
While I am deeply disappointed that Janelle won the America's Choice, for several reasons, it was the choice of those that voted or those that set up the system to multi vote to flood the system w/ Janelle votes. What disturbs me most is that Janelle is not a good person, in my opinion. She has admitted several times that she doesn't like to be around people, doesn't hang out with people often - it seems to me to be the fact that if she is not the center of attention or the "main attraction" then she doesn't care to be apart of anything. I believe that her actions in the house have shown that as well (sleeping ALL DAY because she wasn't involved in the days activities, for example). She hasn't been a team player this whole game...
I just felt that there were more deserving people in the house that would have truly appreciated that phone call more than anything, this point in the game.
I love this game, I do not think that it's as boring as some of you anti-Friendship watchers feel that it is. There are still great conversations and strategy going on in that house, regardless of who the HOH is or the "camp-outs".
Enjoy it while you can BB fans and quit complaining because in less than 4 weeks it will be gone for another 10 months!!!
I happen to think that the best is yet to come and some major backstabbing and strategy is about to come into play....Just watch out for the teams of Maggie/April and Howie/Janelle, I have a feeling that they'll be going head to head real soon.
Hope I didn't offend anyone.
Peace Out!
(by the way, I'm a republican too)
Posted by: Kyla at August 29, 2005 11:05 AM
OH heavens-You are allowed your own opinion! OF COURSE- this is a country of FREEDOM OF SPEECH, so why are you whining about others opinions when you gave yours? HUH?
This blog is FUN, it's a way to let loose on how stupid those guinea pigs are acting in a house set away from the outside world! We can't TELL THEM, right?
If you don't like someones opinion on this blog, then don't read this blog!! I, myself, enjoy it so much- with so many sides- as usual - and so many opinions. It makes for enjoyable read.
Stop taking yourself so serious, okay?
Enjoying the show, finally- after a boring start-really enjoying HamsterDame's BLOG!!! Carol!
PS- really makes me chuckle when people are so politically correct they have to say sorry if they offended anyone with their opinion!!! NO offense here!
Posted by: Carol at August 29, 2005 11:19 AM
April finally just came to realize that the fans don't really like them....and that they like janelle, howie and james....finally
Posted by: Jill at August 29, 2005 11:19 AM
James said last nite it was stupid of him wanting to call sarah. He said he went back to the diaryroom and change his mind to his grandma. But BB said it was too late.
I think he doesn't love sarah that much. I watch the feed 24/7 and not once james mention that he misses sarah. He always talk about revenge to whoever nominate sarah, which I don't think it has anything to do with love. It's simply personal agenda to win the money.
He is the fattest liar in the house.
Posted by: Denny_2 at August 29, 2005 11:54 AM
Denny 2,
I am hoping that James has put himself in an altered state to play the game. I am hoping he is a sensitive caring man who wants to be loved by everyone. That would explain him not wanting to let his guard down with Sarah, who he would hold safe inside. With that said, if his outside life is similar to his opinions and actions on the inside then Sarah should run and get the "help" she needs and stop the cycle of abuse.
The fattest liar in the house might end up with the fattest pockets too!
Posted by: ZooKeeper1 at August 29, 2005 12:16 PM
Carol... listen to your own advice.... :)
It's only natural for everyone to get into their "opinions" after a vote. We're allowed to bicker a little... we can't agree all the time. That would make us like the FS... eekk!
Kyla, I liked some of the points you made except one: BB WILL BE OVER IN 4 WEEKS! Doesn't it feel like it just started? I think Tuesday's show should be two hours since we've been without so long!!
Posted by: Kate at August 29, 2005 12:37 PM
I am having a difficult time with this show this year because of all the bad language, putting people down, etc. BUT I just can't help being on the jedi side BECAUSE even though they do have character defects (though did Kaysar or Rachel? And we never really got to know Michael or Ashlea); could you imagine being in there 24/7? I hope and pray that I wouldn't act like the friendship group but it is amazing to me that April is showing some good values and honesty and maybe starting to play the game like I thought it was supposed to be. James running back and forth to each group disgusts me because I don't think the game is supposed to be played quite that deviously. I mean; how can he keep that up all these weeks and still talk about the Bible, etc? I am older now and have children so maybe if I was their ages (most of them; maybe I would get carried away being stuck in a house and huddle with some other girls but I would hope that I would try and have an alliance with decent people even if some of them are exactly who I would pick as a friend outside the house. Does any of this remind anyone of the "Stockholm syndrome"? (The way they bonded together? I miss Rachel's classiness and Kaysar's intelligence and integrity. I never dreamed at the beginning that I would be rooting for Janelle but I am. Howie has such a mouth but he has tried to be honest! Thanks for this place we can vent out feelings about all of this, HamsterDame!!!!!!
Posted by: glenna at August 29, 2005 12:50 PM
I wonder if you all are tired of hearing April's "bottom line"... I "absofreakinlutely" am! I don't care what she says, there is NO WAY, she is 31... she's at least 40 and probably the biggest liar, bottom line ;)
Posted by: Wssupbttrcup at August 29, 2005 02:03 PM
WOAH!!! This Blog has been crazy. People whining and complaining left and right. I was out of the loop there for awhile. I didn't know until now that Janelle one A.C., but why must y'all complain. I am happy with the actions going on right now. Who cares. Do you not realize how exciting this show is to us all, obviously its getting to us we talk about it everyday for hours on end. Its interesting (annoying, yes, sometimes) but we are all still sucked into it and we can't stop talking about it. QUIT COMPLAINING!
Posted by: Amanda at August 29, 2005 02:06 PM
I just want to say that Jannie has always been my fav. even before the show started and the promo's were running. She's the greatest.

Reply for Russ:
You said that the minimum wage stuff and the sequestering from the public would not be your idea of a vacation?!?!?! I bring home $320 a week. Yes, you read that right...$320 a week!!!!! THAT'S MINIMUM WAGE!!! $750 a week would be more than twice what I am used to making. I live in a small town in Georgia, and a trip to California for the summer all expenses paid is one HELL OF A VACATION!!! Especially for those of us who haven't been able to afford one in 10 years. I am applying for next year's BB7 for the weekly stipend and the vacation. Maybe you shouldn't; I got enough of the complaining, whining, and overall ungratefulness from Maggie and her clones this season. THANKS!
Posted by: Jennifer--NOT THAT ONE!!! at August 29, 2005 04:04 PM
Reply for Jennifer:
According to what Howie has been saying, that is minimum wage. Now I live in Alabama, and our cost of living is about equal to yall's, so if you all can make that, I suppose there are people in Alabama who can make that is well.

Thanks Rae! I was just feeling a bit irritated after reading a couple entries detracting from the effort put forth by those who cared enough to vote.
And speaking of votes: I vote for Jennifer--not that one-- for next years BB! You are great.

Ten million viewers isn't all of America but, I would say that it is a pretty good sampling. I don't think Gallop takes as many samples.
I've posted before and asked the question why does it seem that viewers have taken so to people like Janelle, Rachel, and even James and Howie instead of the "Friendship"?
I have a few of my own ideas: I think it all surrounds Eric. He was, on the show, so self-righteous. And if we remember, he was the first on the show to make and break his word(remember Michael). He did this almost immediately. And when I see this ridiculous devotion the FS (and a shrine to him)it is just weird.
I, personally, like Janelle. She has surprised me more than any other player in the game. I made a snap judgement about her when I first saw her. I thought she would be worthless and just eye-candy for the show. But the girl can play. She is always one of the last ones standing in competitions. And I like her because all the women in the house hate her, I think, because she is pretty. Let's face it ladies, we can be catty sometimes.
Please somebody else give me some feedback on why you think the FS are viewers least favorite.
Thanks!

Havent watched the live feeds for over a week now. I TVo'd BB's live show last Thu and just watched it last nite (Sun) - fast-forwarding until Rachel was evicted & gave a very classy interview to Julie. Very puzzled by Ivette's farewell speech as the biggest sore losers in that house have always been Maggie & Eric - who nearly tripped over their lower lips several times! Why does BB insist on showing the HGs the most hurtful farewell speeches this year? Kay choked back tears as he watched Jen's pack of lies & excuses during her farewell speech, and now Rach looked just as hurt & confused. Remember when the HGs had NICE things to say to the evicted HG no matter whose side they played on or how much they may have disliked them? This year's house is so full of hatred, I can't stand watching anymore.
I knew once Kay went home a second time I would stop watching. I held on when Janelle won HOH, but screamed at my TV when she took Maggie off the block & replaced her w/Ivette. She had the perfect opportunity to get rid of the ringleader Maggie, but she blew it. Choosing to evict with her emotions instead of strategy was so out of character for Janelle!! I don't know what she was thinking!
Since I didn't watch all of Thur's show, or any of the live feeds last week, I had no idea there was an America's Choice vote, but am happy to hear Jan won it. Tho her choice in phone calls is puzzling (Michael over her mom? dad? relatives? friends?) Even KAYSAR?!) Am crosing my fingers that she or Howie win HOH this week - tho not holding my breath!!!
Glad to see that April is finally thinking like an adult and for herself, altho I think it's too little, too late. The damage has already been done, and I don't see her gaining the respect of fans, no matter how hard she tries now anymore.
I've said all along that instead of watching the rest of the live feeds and/or TV broadcasts, I'd LOVE to see live feeds of the HGs once they leave the BB house & return to their family & friends. Now THAT would be entertaining to watch!!!
Hopefully, Dan kisses Jen good-bye - telling her that he just can't be with anyone who would stoop so low for $750/week! Would love to hear him tell her to keep the pic she won that week (as HOH), as a reminder of what she did to loose him and why she's out of his life for good!
Would love to see Maggie & Eric's expressions as they read the online posts & realize how hated they were. No, they were not "America's Sweethearts" as they set out to play - just the opposite. So tired of Maggies 12 yr old voice and her childish behavior. Would love to see her humiliation as she sees how immature she behaved.
Ivette better have Kleenex on hand when she goes online. " Ms. Super-Sensitive" doesn't have much to read that's positive. She will be so crushed once she sees how much America disliked her & "Cappy". She will finally be able to have him all to herself. Wonder how long she & Beau will stay friends after BB? I also wonder if Beau behaves the same without all the TV cameras -- Maybe this is all an act, and he's nothing like that on the outside (Let's hope!)
Will James & Sara put everything behind them and get on with their lives? Will Sara's parents ever forgive James & accept him into their family?? It would be interesting to watch them live together outside the BB house without all the cameras, other HGs & "play-acting"!
I really thought Howie & Rachel were married. I honestly can see them living together as husband & wife. Would love to watch these 2 outside the BB house to see if they make a go at being a couple. I think Rachel is perfect for Howie - she's the "straight one" to Howie's over the top behavior. How about a new reality show "Odd Couple 2005", staring Howie & Rachel?? Now there's a live feed I'd pay to watch!!
Will Jan & Michael resume their "relationship"? She seems to think so, seeing as he's the one she chose to call after winning America's Choice. Boy, mom & dad must be so proud of her!!!
Kay's family & friends must be so proud of him. He's such a smart player but more than that, he's a very nice guy. He made a mistake letting Jen have HOH that week, and he knew it - but he was trying to do the right thing by letting her have it so she could have her pics from Dan. When Dan breaks it off with Jen, I hope he lets her know that had she kept her word, then they could have had a future - If Jen was half the woman that Kaysar is a man, things would have been a whole lot different - Inside & Outside the BB house!!!
I just read online that BB Netherlands started this weekend, and there's a woman whose 7 month pregnant in the house. If she makes it to the end - she will have her baby on TV & in the BB house! Now there's a season of BB I want to watch!!! I also read that the viewer's still choose who goes home each week on most of the European versions - why does the US version have to be so different? After all, aren't WE the ones who are paying for it by watching the live feeds? Shouldn't we have more of a say than who gets to make a phone call this week???? Imagine what the ratings would have been if Kay had stayed in the BB house and Maggie, Ivette & April went home a LONG time ago. They changed it after the first season becuz all of the HGs were to nice - I really don't think THAT would have happened this year!! No matter how you looked at it - Not one of those HGs were too nice!!!

HamsterDame....love you for doing this... the first season of BB I thought people were crazy for watching..by the time it was over I had withdrawal for 6 months...The FS is a problem for me simply because they keep talking about how good they are and how evil the others are.... duh... what happens to this friendship when they have to vote one another off.... "cannibalism" ?? and... if it is not the money, why not just be as good as they say and 'give' that money to one of the other players who either wants or needs the money... then we really might believe they are 'good'...
They are all probably pretty good kids... but, still we make our choice and right now we choose the 'other' group... by majority rule in this good ol USA. Maggie will not say or do anything without one of her 'friends' to do the dirty work...she just lies back and grins... that bugs me.... Howie has a nasty mouth.... poor April is ALL mouth... Ivette feels she has more of a friendship with James than with Beau, and rightfully so... Janie is lazy, but still plays the game tough...and as for the phone call, wonder if part of the 'vote' was more against the FS than FOR Janie???? And...one more thought.... when this group is back home, I can hardly wait for the updates in a year or so to see how often this "Friendship" gets together LOL LOL LOL
OK.... I feel better.... maybe going thru a little withdrawal since no show Saturday... live feed if great, but still want to see it on the tube.... thanks for the 'forum' HamsterDame !!

April acting as HOH has bumped her up in my esteem one tiny little bit, but otherwise I think she is worthless little rat. Yvette should go first, though, for someone who is gay she certainly does love the boys and cant stand for any of the guys to pay attention to any other girl. The only reason why Yvetter hated Rachael so much was because ray ray has so much more class than Yvette ever will.
Maggie playing the game well, but her voice gets on my nerves and she acts like such a lil goody two shoes i want to smack her.
Posted by: bbfanindallas at August 29, 2005 10:54 PM
I don't care who Janelle called, I voted for her, she could have called information for all i cared. I voted for her just to piss all the others off! he he

I'm in disbelief over some of the comments made over the using of the word HATE. OOOh, AAAh! To those who wrote all the blah, blah, blah about it, just stop it. PLEASE don't waste your time preaching about the HATE comment and how's it's so wrong. I was'nt even going to waste my time writing this so I apologise to all who had to read this. Chill Out, let's all just enjoy BB6!
(Kate and Chuckster...thanks for saying what I was thinking)

Ginny, my reasons for not liking the turd herd run the gamut from petty to serious, but I think when it comes right down to it, it's like marcellus said, Eric opened the door to everyone being flat out mean, and I don't like mean people. As a result, I root for the underdog, which in normal circumstances would be the aggressor, in times past the "beautiful" ones were the arrogant, catty and most devious players, but this season, it's just the opposite, and I don't care who you are, if you are hateful, I'm not going to like you, and I won't root for you. I feel like all these people who say that the sovereign side is guilty of the same actions, they probably should take a step back and consider something, though it is the very same thing, true, the motivation also makes a big difference, and I feel like a lot of their aggressions have come about as a form of self defense...i mean, how much is a person supposed to take before they do say enough is enough, throw their hands up and dish it right back? the turd herd are a bunch of idiots, really. they remind me of those cliques in jr high and highschool who value themselves so highly that they have to put others down to make themselves feel better, and because of that, I think they are a pack of losers.

Wow, emotion filled Blog this one has been.
After reading through it I find myself wondering what makes us feel so strongly about this? Or, rather I suppose, what makes me feel strongly?
Why do I dislike the feindship so intensly?
Looking back, I blame it all on Eric. Watching him strut through the house in week 2 as though he owned it and that all the inhabitants should acknowledge his unquestionable leadership and goodness when all along we had seen that he was just as back stabbing, nasty, and scheaming as every other player.
I would never claim that other players didn't lie and decieve. I would be disappointed if they hadn't - thats the fun part of the show, we viewers know things about players that housemates don't and we watch them make decisions they never would if only they knew. :)
Where the feinds differed is that they not only lied to other players, they lied to us. We saw what they said to each other, about each other and the dirty little plans they hatched and then they pontificated about the purity and honesty of their group.
It's ok to play the game. Lie a little. Try and phsyc out the competition and get them to DOR. Watch your back and be careful who you believe.
I think the Feinds made the Sovern team into a team. Feinds chose who was good enough and pure enough and worthy enough and felt justified in deciding at some point in the game that you don't measure up - but that isn't lying or back stabbing or scheaming, that is protecting the group from the nasty "others".
Listening to April, Ivette, and Maggie trash talk the other team and then turn around and claim they hate trash talk, and send Ivette in to spy while talking about how Howie or James just come to learn their secrets because they have no morals does little to endear these players.
The AC award is a good example. I voted not for who I felt needed the call the most or who I liked the most, no I voted to ensure that no NERD got a call. It was a mean sentiment that I admit freely. They annoy the heck out of me and Ivette's "horse" speach about Rachel couple with her Good-bye message made me itch to see her sitting in a corner sobbing about how unfair it is she didn't get a call. Oh, and the little pious chat about how everyone must be enjoying watching a team with integrity had a little something to do with it too. Karma is a *itch Ladies.
Howie, Rachel, Janelle and Kaiser are not saints. They aren't better players or better sports. They are however, funny, sarcastic and unpredictable and that makes for good TV. Who would have predicted that a winning HOH would jump across a lawn telling the other players to pack their bags and give me that key (with explitives)? We know that is what they are thinking but ONLY Janelle would come right out and say it with glee! Poor sportsmanship? You betcha. Funny? Oh yeah.
I continue to watch with one hope in mind - that each and every feind leave the show before final 2. I know it is a long shot but I continue to harbour a hope.
As for the Feinds reading the web posts and understanding Viewers didn't like them as much as they thought, well I'm sure someone (probably a not so nice someone) will be sure to mention it somewhere. Unlike April I do not hope anyones house burns down or marriage breaks up as a result of the show. I wish for some to leave TV and NEVER return.

Trish,
I wrote about the use of the word Hate. Never said it was wrong. I only expressed my feelings without preaching. If your comments somehow were directed at mine, may I suggest you explain in your comment why you were so offended, instead of Demanding people STOP expressing their opinions on a comment section of a BLOG. It seems you have issues.

Oh Lord HamsterDame... start a new topic because my time is consumed with checking back to this one and RETORTING! Trish, I 100% identify with your frustration with a select few getting a bee in their bonnet over the use of the word HATE. (It reminds me of second grade religion class really). Y'all... all of us with issues (lol)are just saying to ease up on those who toss a few words around on a blog to express our passioniate opinions about our fave show. No one is demanding, accusing, insulting, or planning to riot over our HATE. I feel like we're Beau and Janey only on computers drinking coffee! HamsterDame--- save us!
Posted by: Kate at August 30, 2005 07:55 AM
Oh My Goodness. HATE. We are free to express our feelings, good, bad or indifferent, any way we choose. HamsterDame gave us this blog to express, and express we shall. I have been out of the loop over the weekend due to major family illness and of course, pending KATRINA, she was supposed to hit us straight on, so the computer was shut off.
I voted for Howie right away, mainly because I did not want the Nerd/Turd Herd to get it. I am so sorry I missed their behavior. The way it comes across, my 13 y/o daughter and her friends have more class than the Herd.
Good for Janelle, wish she had chosen family, but we cannot make her choice, only the choice to let her.
I wait with baited breath, for 8 hours and 50 minutes til I can see BB again (already told family at hospital that I have to be home by 9 EST) he. he. For the record, I like the S2. Can't stand the "Friendship" with friends like those who needs enemies. My daughter and I watch every week and can't wait to say HAH and laugh in each other's face when the other side wins something. She likes the "Friendship."
BBfanindallas - your comment had me rolling, I had to read yours aloud to my husband.
Peace to all. And to those BB fans and bloggers (and even those who don't BB or Blog) in Mississippi and LA, I hope all turns out okay for you, for someone who survived Charlie and "his 3 siblings" last year, I pray for you and wish you well on your long road ahead.

The strong emotions that everyone is feeling over this fractured group is why the ratings this season have been so over the top!
If the American viewing public didn't have some deep need to dislike one side and root for the other, the NFL wouldn't be so popular.
The nerd herd makes themselves so easy to hate (yes, I said hate - oooooohhh) because they protest so vehemently against all the things that they are the ones doing! Their constant scheming, backstabbing, snipping, griping, and trashtalking don't help much either.
I check this Blog so often - as much for BB news as to see what Blogger is complaining about another! Conflict is interesting and even more so because it is someone else and NOT US!
Thanks so much for this forum HamsterDame!

Yikes!
Thought you guys where talking about what I wrote. I feel sad for whoever it s getting a bee in their bonnet over that word (Kate, Trish).
Thank you Kate for sharing the same view about easing up on people who are expressing their opinions, though I do disagree when you said no one is demanding. That is exactly what Trish did.
HamsterDame Rocks! Please give us all Hugs.
BB6 you’re intense.

I now know why they have named Ivette Evilette... I am watching the live feeds right now, and all she wants to do is pull Janelle aside and tell her to take her extentions out. What is it to her if she wants ext. in her hair or not... I really really would love to see Ivette go next. Her personality is coming out and I really believe that the way she is being in the house, is exactly the way she is in real life.
IMO

Reply for Kate:
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!! I take it that means that I'll get your votes for all the America's Choice comps next year?!?! I really am going to apply and I hope and PRAY that I get on! What an adventure, and what an opportunity to make life better for me and my daughter! I am so blessed with her, and she deserves the world-but is currently stuck with her MINIMUM WAGE-MOMMY, who can only afford truckloads of love for her.
But I digress...
I was watching the live feeds earlier and heard Janelle talking about her modeling, April talking about her early modeling, and Howie talking about his other Reality show appearances. What about a real-life honest to goodness working stiff that actually IS on the show for the money!!! FORGET FAME!! I'M BROKE-FOR GOD'S SAKE!!! I am there for the money! And I am not above admitting it! So there! My boobies are real, I would never wear a two-piece, and I don't have time to work-out--what with my REAL life and all...So Unfortunately, Kate, you may never have the opportunity to vote me anything or anywhere; I am quite possibly too REAL for REALity TV! Thanks anyway! Much Love! For my One fan, other than my kid, that is. A million or not, She thinks I am awesome...but then again, she is only three! LOL! Keep the faith, and keep watching!!!

Nope, nope, nope... you underestimate yourself!! There have been plenty of "real women" on BB... YOU'LL DO GREAT! (And seriously... in terms of a better job, take it from me... apply at a CVS/Brooks/Eckerd... whatever drugstore you have in your region. Asst. Managers start at approx. $35K per year and the room for advancement is sky high.) Retail hours, yes, but if you can find a decent daycare get ready for a decent paycheck. (I did this a couple years ago. My best friend has been doing this two years now and she's up to $39K. No, it's not $100K per year but we all have to start somewhere. Your BB caption will be Jennifer- Retail Manager. Fun!
Posted by: Kate at August 31, 2005 12:44 PM
When I started not liking the friendship was when Maggie got hoh and they all slept in the hoh room. They chose to divide the house and not get to know the others like they would have if they had inneracted with them. Ivette spying the way she did up on the balcony was crazy. I watched the feeds all the time, I did not see Kaysar or janelle or the others sneaking around like they did. I feel sorry for Beau he wants to have fun and they critisize him for it. If maggie were to go next april would seek out Janelle in a minute so she can unwind. Ivette would cower in a corner and mop, Beau would have more fun than he is now. the game would be more fun to watch. They put Janelle down for sleeping all the time what else does she have to do they all treat her badly. With maggie gone Ivette will do just what Janelle does.
Posted by: sharon at August 31, 2005 02:19 PM
I have to comment on those who think the nerd herd is only slightly more disliked than Janelle's team. All you have to do is go to the BB website's Love Em or Leave Em poll. From week 3 on, the most popular person in the nerd herd hasn't garnered the popularity of the least popular Kaysar team member. Week, after week, after week. Ok? That's why I knew for a fact that Janelle or Howie would win America's choice. The viewers, you see, don't appreciate weak, whiney hypocrites. Jennifer--the worst bitch I've ever seen in my life. Ivette--sociopath. Nuff said.
Posted by: kent's mole at September 2, 2005 03:18 AM
Someone should rent a message plane and drag the message, " The Friendship Sucks " over the house for about an hour to let those jerks know just what America thinks of them.
And you have no idea how proud i am of America for being in agreement on these lowlifes. What they did to kayser will remain an unforgivable Sin in the annals of Reaity TV History.
