An Odd Grace in Big Brother 14
|Well. It happened. We all thought it would and yet.. in Big Brother 14, it’s ain’t over till the statuesque lady leaves.
And leave she did. You have to give her credit. Janelle went out with grace and dignity. If only she’d shown a bit more of that during her game-play, what happened last night might not have.
But Janelle’s grace isn’t what I want to talk about today. No, today I want to chat about a more obscure kind of grace. Grace under pressure. Treating others with dignity, even while under the most extreme circumstances. I’m talking about Frank.
During last night’s convo with Julie Chen, Janelle said one thing that was true and one thing that wasn’t. First, she claims–during that pivotal moment in the HOH room, when she flounced upstairs hoping to show Boogie up once and for all, and was instead exposed as a liar–that she was just trying to “protect Joe and Wil.” If you believe that, I ‘ve got some beachfront property in Arizona I want to sell you. Nope. She was covering her own butt by refusing to even consider parting with one of “her guys.” And that sealed her fate.
Boogie had laid the deal on the table. All of the participants had signed it. All except Dan. And until Dan inked it, it was never going through. But that one second of hesitation happened, and sealed Janelle’s fate.
And the thing she told the truth about? That she was afraid of Frank. Well, she should be. All of them should be.
The guy’d been on the block 3 out of 4 weeks. And the one week he wasn’t??? He was HOH. Many a HG would’ve crumbled under that kind of pressure. But not him. He remained calm. Remained friendly. Kept up relations with everyone in the house. Stayed humble. And sailed through it, all the way to the HOH room. Again.
Last night, Brit was obviously upset at losing the comp. As was wee Ian. Ian literally did a little dance of frustration right there on the stage. But for him, it’s because he wants to enhance his BB experience. Ian’s adorable in his desire to eat up every bite of the game. Brit claims she was upset because she wanted pictures and a letter. But come on– she had that two weeks ago. Brit was upset cause she’s worried. And again…She should be. Because one of the first things Mike Boogie said to Frank once the show ended was, “We need to think about getting rid of Britney. She’s just way too good at the social game.”
Frank however, isn’t worried about Britney. He is concerned with only one thing. The fact that Dan wants to be Boogie’s #1 guy. And Frank knows that Dan knows he can never be that while Frank’s in the house. Frank is quite aware of this. He told us FEED VIEWERS in one of his early am- soliloquies to the camera. (FLASHBACK THURS 9:33 am BBT)
HOWEVER–I in my gut I feel like Frank/Boogie will stick to the deal, and end up putting Joe vs Shane (who volunteered earlier in the week).
So–Will Frank and Boogs stick to the Silent Six deal? Put up Joe and a “volunteer” from that group? Maybe. I think Boogie will lean that way. But Frank saw how easily the others lied to Jani. He also knows Dan lied to him the week before.
Today’s nominations will show where Chilltown 2.0 is headed. The LIVE FEEDS leading up to a probable Have Not comp and following nominations should be VERY interesting. But again–it’s VETO that means everything. So- we’ll keep our eyes peeled from now till then.
Who do you think Frank should nominate? Do you think he’ll stick with the Silent Six? OR consider secretly partnering with the Newbie Alliance-Team Tits?

Janelle did go out with Grace and for that i am happy..SHe still remains one of my favorite all time players ,,aside from this season–her heart just wasn’t in it this time..However i think Frank thinks its to early to strike at the silent 6 but if the opportunity arises–heck yeah hes gonna take it while getting leverage with the other side…Him and Boggie where talking about putting up Shane against Joe and if Joe wins the pov Brittany will be the replacement .. to mask the silent 6 alliance,,hes says they will just have to trust him..but my gut says he wants to get brit or Dan–i don’t know we shall see…..
That’s exactly why I have been a team Frank fan from day one…he always keeps it classy! He’s respectful and friendly to everyone, even when they put him up for eviction. He’s reliable and strategic and never lets anyone know when/if he’s upset. That’s why I have such a hard time understanding the Frank haters! He was forced to form his alliance with Boogie from the beginning, and yet, even though Frank realizes that Boogie puts a target on his (Frank’s) back, Frank still remains loyal to Boogie. Frank is one classy dude!
fan. Why is Dani any worse than Rachel? Yes, she is making deals, but Rachel has done just as much banabtkbsicg. I still can’t forget how she told Brendon that everyone was mean to her including J/J and throwing Jeff under the bus with Jeff making her feel uncomfortable (the stupid shower incident). Basically, if you think Dani has done more banabtkbsicg then Shelly, IMO I would say Rachel has backstabbed just as much. I know you are a Rachel fan and that’s fine, just as I am a fan of Dani’s. I will admit to Dani banabtkbsicg, but to say she is worse than Shelly or Rachel I don’t agree with. Just MHO.
I was so happy to see Janelle leave yesterday – I do not like her at all – and was MOST happy with Boogie’s departing speech to her – Way to go Boogie – I hope Boogie and Frank go all the way to the end.
I can’t say as i’m happy that Frank won HOH. It’s not that i don’t think he deserves it…he won fair and square. But his association with Boogie disturbs me. I know he had no choice in the matter in the beginning. But now he does. Frank could be a force to be reckoned with all on his own. He doesn’t NEED Boogie. Quite the opposite…Boogie NEEDS Frank. I can see Boogies pompous attitude slowly filtering into Frank. And that’s a shame. He’s probably a pretty decent guy and could become a BB great. But no one likes a winner with a bad attitude. Boogie’s a prime example of that. Lets hope Frank doesn’t become one too.
Cat, your comment was fantastic. Boogie is going to become a ball and chain to Frank later on. He needs to slowly distance himself from Boogie without letting Boogie know it. Boogie is a bad loser and a bad winner.
Dani’s made the same deal with Rachel, and Kalia and Porche. This game play usually ceuass resentment and loses votes for the one who does it. This is a insecure Dani making promises to everyone with no one knowing which is the true alliance. When they get in jury and compare notes it will all fall apart. Natalie lying to everyone won megafloater Jordan the game. I don’t suport Dani in this game play and hope it was the alchohol. She may have handed the game to Rachel, her only equal in the game.
i think janelle is a classy lady. sorry most of you didn’t get the reaction you were looking for. not even from joe. boogie helped frank win the hoh. he buzzed in before any words came on. you all should google mike boogie. lot of answers and insights there.
I agree with Shirley, Janelle is a class act !! Boogie needs to go ! He is classless and his goodbye speech to Janelle proved it.
I don’t want any of the “coaches” to win. They already had their opportunity and won/lost. Time for someone new to have a chance at the cash. Bugger is just using Frank. He seems loyal to him now but its only a matter of time before Bugger ditches him. Frank needs to play his own game and try to win votes. the more he teams up with Bugger the more he is going to be seen as a threat. I want the nerd to win. Yay for all nerds!
So, Porsche is promising Rachel to keep her safe next week when she fully inntdes to evict her the following week if she is still there! That is why I believe Porsche should be evicted ahead of Kalia. Both of them are not to be trusted but, Porsche has followed Danielle’s lead in being nasty and a big liar too! Hopefully, if Kalia gets evicted that Porsche does not win HOH and it is Adam or Jordan who wins it! Preferably Jordan because Adam might flip as Porsche has been manipulating Adam like a fiddle. Atleast, if it was Kalia staying, Adam does not trust Kalia which means he has more of an incentive to be loyal to Jordan and Rachel.
I believe that every true BBF realizes Booger-man’s gameplay by now! I believe every true BBF recognizes the fact that Booger-man is a lowlife and realizes his gameplay. I believe every true BBF is well aware that Booger-man threw the comp so Frank would win HOH, so Frank would get his hands dirty, while Booger-man keeps his hands “clean” so to speak. However, just because Booger-man is a lowlife, does not mean that Frank is a lowlife. Haven’t any of you every had a lowlife friendship or relationship with someone that everyone warned you about, but you liked them anyway, so you stuck by them and defended them no matter what anyone else said or did? Well, that’s exactly how I see Frank’s alliance with Booger-man!
As the says goes, “I got friends in low places” Truer words were never spoken.
@Julie, that’s so true. I couldn’t have said it better, but some people don’t like to admit it. You have to stay true to your team!
The only problem with DANI’S psmrioe and apology is she is BANKING on Kalia to get HOH and put up J&J Dani thinks she has a deal with RACHEL. BUT Dani is not gonna help to keep Brendon which pissed RACHEL off so her ( Rachel’s) part of the deal is fake.. as of this moment Dani thinks she has Rachel in her pocket .Dani is going after jury votes so if she is not the one to put up J&J she believes she will have their vote..It’s all up in the air and last nite was sooo confusing as to who was in a deal.. who was backdooring who..who was voting for who..lol..it was mess..U just gonna have to wait and see how the votes fall..
I am very disappoited in this years. When you bring back old players, it feels like a rerun. Expecially when Boogie plays his old game and results are the same. I’m afraid he’s going to win again and I can’t stand him. I won’t watch it.
