As most everyone knows by now, CBS did the HOH competition over,
blaming "technical difficulties" with some of the buzzers. And, big
surprise, Janelle won.
All fairness arguments aside, since it's all a moot point now, what
happens now? She'll want Dani out, just like she went after Jennifer
last year, to "avenge" Kaysar, as well as serve her own ends. From
what I've read, some are trying to get her to put up Marcellus, but
she's having none of it. She doesn't even want to try to backdoor
Dani, thinking it's too risky.
The three groups in the house as I see them stand like this:
Season Six (Howie, Janelle)
The Floaters (Chicken George, Dani, Erika, Marcellus, and James to a
degree)
Chill Town (Will and Boogie)
If she nominates Dani and Erika, and she can't play for veto, then
Dani and Erika will still be almost on their own, unless James get
picked to play. Mike and/or Will will throw whatever competition,
Howie will be on Janelle's side, and George and Marcellus won't be
much help to anyone. If Dani or Erika win, they come off, another
floater (maybe even James?) goes up.
Still, does she have the votes to oust Dani? Howie will vote against
Dani for sure, and if Chill Town flops again (certainly possible, as
we've seen; they're the TRUE floaters!), then it would be up to
George, Marc, and James to cause a tie. Then, Janelle get's the
tie-breaker, and Dani's out. If Dani or Erika come off, Marc goes up,
and if it comes to a tie, Janie votes out Erika.
It looks like the best we can hope for is that someone else wins HOH
next week, puts Howie and Janelle on the block, then they vote out
which ever one doesn't get veto, or Janelle if neither does.
