I can't believe I'm saying it, but I actually feel kinda bad for
Janelle!

Not bad that she won't win, but bad that the viewer's choice reward is
only 25,000 instead of another half million, or even 50 thousand. I've
never been a fan of hers, and I know some of her success this season
was due to luck rather than skill (luck that Jase was too stupid to
take Danielle's idea in week one, luck that everyone but Danielle was
greedy in that one veto competition, luck that the buzzers
malfunctioned in the HOH competition), but I do give the girl props for
knowing her trivia stuff as far as what player did what and when for
competitions, and (usually) being quick on her feet when needed as
well. Given that fact, I was astonished that Boogie beat her in that
last competition between the two. I still believe Will is the best
player ever in the game as far as the manipulation of other houseguests
and playing them against each other, but she has him and everyone else
beaten on the actual competitions. That's why I have to admit she
deserves something bigger just for her gameplay.

Speaking of her, did anyone see her on The Early Show this morning?
Was it just me, or did she seem like she was drunk? Her eyes seemed a
tad droopy, and she was slurring words. It reminded me of Mike Tyson
on lithium in that Robin Givens interview years ago! You'd think they
would have kept a tighter lock on her with an early appearance like
that coming up!

As for the game, I was never really a fan of Boogie personally, except
as a necessary evil for Will to work his magic, but I believe he
deserves the win as the last person standing from the smallest, yet
most POWERFUL alliance in the house. They overcame the Season Six
alliance, they got rid of the floaters (through manipulation of the
Season Six folks), and even managed to pick apart the Legion of Doom
from the INSIDE. And, he beat Janelle head to head, something nobody
else seemed to be able to do. I like Erika well enough, despite some
questionable moves, but she really rode coat tails the majority of the
game, and doesn't deserve to win it all for that.

That's just my opinion; what do you guys think?
