Question for the Big Brother watchers:
It seems like most of us dislike the Friendship and like Janelle. Well I have a question.
I think most people feel like if ivette has the chance she should take Janelle to the Final Two, over her friendship with Maggie. However if it was Janelle in that position (and her friend, kaysar or howie was still in the house) would we feel the same way?
I'm just wondering if our dislike for maggie and ivette is clouding our judgment. Cause if janelle had to choose between ivette (someone she disliked and we all disliked) and howie/kaysar, I think that we would probably think that she should keep her word to her alliance.
But in the case of ivette, it just seems like she is being coerced into choosing maggie. Maybe this is the problem. If it were ivette's own free choice then we would feel better about it?
Btw, who thinks ivette will throw the final HOH comp. I do!
I think we have seen ample proof that Janelle and Kaysar and Howie are NOT the same "kinds" of people as Maggie and Ivette. They are not petty and underhanded. They did not assume everyone other than them was evil. They did not eviscerate everyone else behind their backs. Maggie and Ivette and April and Eric all did that. So did Jennifer (and she continues to do it with that little shi**y chipmunk grin on her butt-ugly face).
Ivette has made it known from day 1 that she is there for the money and only for the money. She wants the money. She needs the money. It is because of this that we actually believe she should dump Maggie, who will beat her out for the money. Also, Maggie has implied she has preferences as to whom she would want to be in the final 2 with...and one of them wasn't April. Why I don't know. She would have been safe with April. Possibly, she'd have been safer with April than with Ivette or Janelle, but I think she was the odds-on favorite to beat any one of the three based on the content of the sequester house.
It's a much different scenario with Janelle and Ivette in the final 2.
First, Janelle is smart enough to realize that when you're in the final 2, the last person you want beside you is a "friend". I don't think it's clouded judgment to think Ivette ought to realize this. If, in fact, Ivette only cared about preventing Janelle from winning, she should make every effort to win Phase 3 and evict Janelle. Maggie would win the half-million dollars if that happens.
I think Janelle would have been as safe picking Howie as she would be picking Ivette (i.e., I think her chances would be even). With four women now in the house -- Jennifer, Rachel, Beau and April, and possibly with Maggie joining them -- a woman against a man would probably fare better than a woman against a woman...so Kaysar or Howie would be safe for Janelle...no "moral" dilemma, in other words. I know they all professed to hate Janelle, but I think gender would have been Janelle's ally, and most of the women have conceded that Janelle surprised them, played smart and outplayed them. I think they would respect her for that.
I think Ivette OUGHT to throw the last phase so that she doesn't have to make the choice she NEEDS to make. She can't go with Maggie because Maggie will beat her. And she doesn't want to pick Janelle over Maggie because of her "morals", "dignity" and "friendship" issues (which, to the rest of us, are worthless words based upon her actions, thus far).
Janelle most assuredly won't pick Maggie to go to the final two. Just won't happen. IMO
