I guess I'll have to throw a few cheers Janelle's way since she is from MN and lives around 40-50 miles from me.

Surprised to see that Janelle has gone back to being billed as "Pierzina"; on BB14 she did refer to herself by her married name ("DeSanto") at least once.

Also IMO amusing to note that Janey-Doll of the many, many surgical procedures is paired with somebody who may have opted for a nice set of implants, but whose most distinguishing physical feature remains the wonky eye…and there's nothing you can do about that.  

I'm pleased that I'm not finding them particularly objectionable this time;  I guess with no live feeds/After Dark we won't be seeing much of Britney's "talent" for spewing venom about people she's trying to turn other competitors against.  Her snark seems mostly self-effacing this time, which is a pleasant change from some things that don't need to be discussed here.  

Besides, they actually were helpful to the Reilly sisters in episode 3, so points for that.

Extremely accurate assessment of Corinne & Eliza from Brit

I have nothing to add to this topic except Janelle is my all-time favorite Big Brother player and I love her.  Thank you.

I can't watch this video (geo-blocked). Would someone be able to give me a summary?

The airport feels like another leg of the race -- an exhausting social game leg where everyone suspects all of the other contestants of colluding with other teams to get an advantage and Janelle and Britney feel like they have to manage several different relationships so everyone likes them.  "So much scheming, it's exhausting, honestly -- it's like we're playing Big Brother at the same time we're playing The Amazing Race."

Corrine and Eliza especially need to be coddled.  Janelle and Britney would talk to the Reilly sisters around the corner so Corrine and Eliza wouldn't see them talking, since Corrine and Eliza hate the Reilly sisters so much, and if Corrine and Eliza saw them sitting next to the Reilly sisters in the airport, they'd have to spend the next 30 minutes with Corrine and Eliza badmouthing the Reilly sisters to preserve their relationship with Corrine and Eliza.

I'm sure it's an accurate portrayal of Corrine and Eliza, but in my opinion, Janelle and Britney come across as being stuck in the junior high mean girl mindset too.  Not a great look for anyone here.

I think Britney's over that mindset, because she managed to squash all the drama she and Rachel had when they played together, and Brit trashed her plenty. Janelle I think is still stuck in that mindset.

I wouldn't say that about Janelle. Both her and Britney were talking about how they had to coddle Corinne and Eliza when it came to other teams. The Reilly sisters asked for a gummy bear from Janelle, so she gave it to them. Then Corinne and Eliza went to them and asked if Janelle was pissed that the Reilly sisters asked them for a GUMMY BEAR. And she said, 'Oh Yeah...I was so pissed that they asked me for a gummy bear'. She might as well have said WTF? Because really...getting pissed you were asked for a Gummy Bear?

At least, Corrine & Eliza are gone. I'm okay with all the other teams. I don't even mind Leo & Jamal and their trickery with the other teams. The two teams I didn't care for when cast were Rupert & Corrine & Eliza. Now, they are gone and I can enjoy the season. I haven't picked a winner yet but I'm guess it's a TAR team or Nicole & Victor. I might have a better idea after tomorrow nights double episode. I'm looking forward to the next leg. I missed the show and it's only been 2 weeks. LOL!!!

What is up with Janelle's hair? She couldn't get the roots done before the show? Or get better extensions?

[mikewho]

I've seen a lot worse.
