TV Worship: BIG BROTHER 6 - BLOG AND PIC OF THE WEEK (September 13, 2005)

The Frankenstein Monster of plastic surgery -- Janelle -- continues to whup ass, but doesn't Maggie really deserve to win?

By NUTS McDOUGAL, News Editor
Published 9/13/2005



If a TV series is a summer series, then it should conclude in the summer, not in the fall. While it’s nice that BIG BROTHER 6 and ROCK STAR: INXS continue to plod along until the middle of September – it defeats the purpose of calling these show’s summer programming if they start to interfere with watching the new fall shows. You watch a summer series, because there’s nothing else on to watch that’s more important. When it competes with the more important shows, it makes you want to pull your TiVo out of the wall and give up on television altogether. Now on to the big Big Brother dilemma – I’m terrified that the worst case scenario is going to happen – that Janelle will actually win. The funny thing about the whining going on in the house with April, Ivette and Maggie is that they’re all upset that America loves Janelle and that’s why she gets all the votes when the viewers get to decide on phone calls and CBS promotional stunts like sending a housemate to the set of TWO AND A HALF MEN (On another note, doesn’t it defeat the purpose of being stuck in a house all summer, if a houseguest can actually leave and go some place else?) Why shouldn’t she go? She may be the Frankenstein monster of plastic surgery, but at least Janelle is trying to have some fun. Who was the one playing light saber with Howie (oh, and by the way, Howie you calling the other’s the Nerd Herd, yet, excuse me Sith lord, who was the one going all Jedi the moment he got his light saber?) Yes, Janelle is annoying but she does win the games on her own terms all the time, so she’s more than a bubbly airhead. Then again, maybe she was that smart girl in school nobody paid attention to and through the miracle of plastic surgery, she’s become the patchwork Barbie doll everyone loves to hate. Heck, she could even be a man and we wouldn’t even know it. But enough of Janelle. The person who deserves to win is Maggie. And you know she’s next on the chopping block. She’s played the game as well as she can and she hasn’t been truly evil to anyone. Plus, you don’t see her groping the other girl’s plastic boobs on TV. So that’s my hope. The other’s, well, they bug the crap out of me. And with only a few episodes left, I CAN’T wait to get back to my other fall TV habits. Most importantly is the new season of SURVIVOR. BIG BROTHER 6, you’re an interesting reality show, but you can’t hold a candle to SURVIVOR which is the real deal. Can’t wait for the season premiere this Thursday.

C'mon, Cappy, that's you, isn't it? You're pulling for Maggie even though she's a mere women. Cappy, did you mix up the blondes on the show? It's April who has had more than one surgical procedure of the cosmetic kind. Cappy, don't hate a tall girl. She can't help it. As a young girl, she probably cried as many tears about being tall as you have for not... being tall. She's not a Frankenstein creation...she's a beautiful buxom blonde! Oh...and POPULAR too, Cappy! Have you checked your PQ today?

Debbie from MIssouri sez....
If you are rooting for Maggie to win, you must have a hardcore fetish for controlling women. (S&M maybe?) or have once been involved with a cult because you have been a victim of brainwashing. The above article makes absolutely no sense to me. Can't even believe I'm wasting MY time responding to it. Well, your first name is Nuts?...go figure

Rita from New Jersey sez....
I think you have no idea what you are talking about. If you want to get into Plastic Surgery that is April's department If you have Tivo why do you care what shows compete with what? Some people should not be able to write a column and you are one of them...PS do some research before you write about something you know nothing about!!!!!!!!

makenna from central,CA sez....
ARE you nuts? You obviously wrote this "article" just to get us Janelle supporters and Nerd Herd haters just to waste time to tell you that Maggot is as evil as cult leader "Crappy" Eric. Actually is that you Crappy? You must be the only idiot in America that actually thinks Maggot is worthy of winning-she didn't do anything!!! Janelle WON vetos and HOH twice!!! So what that she is pretty, you probably just wish you could get a girl as awesome as Janie!! You nor Crappy Cappy ever could!!! GO JANIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't seem to have a grasp of the game that is being played in the house at the moment. Visit http://p200.ezboard.com/bbb3livefeeds. Maybe you'll rethink your opinion of the virtues of Maggie. (I dare you to find one)

Russ from Arizona sez....
Your assessment of the Big Brother 6 cast members that you mentioned is the polar opposite of who these folks are and how they have behaved. Everyone loves to hate Janelle? Are you mad?

missy from toronto sez....
Are you high? Do you even watch the live feeds? Maggot is the least deserving. AND, she is constantly rubbing up against any other female in the house!

Eric? Is that you, Crappy? How are you, Wee Little One? Get a clue and "blog" about something you know about.

Susan from Ohio sez....
David, are you watching the same show that we are? You have to be kidding about your Big Brother comments. Maybe you could drop that $25 and get the live feeds next year so you might have an idea of what you're talking about! Clearly you belong with the Friendship if this is your take on things...they're welcome to have you.

Fall doesn't start until Sept 22nd. I can't get past the first line of this article...

MadHatter from Canada sez....
This article was not worth the time I took to read it. It's obvious that your superficial understanding of the BB6 has begotten an equally superficial analysis. Your shallow and demeaning remarks about Janelle -- which, by the way, are strikingly similar to vile put-downs the Friendship has directed at her throughout the season -- are a prime example. I would suggest that you not present yourself as a guru on a topic you appear to know little about. There is a lot more to Big Brother than the hour-long episodes that air three times a week. Unless you watch the live feeds or read the updates, you won't know everything that transpires in House, nor will you gain a real understanding of the people in it. PS - Your comparison of Big Brother and Survivor is misguided. Besides the obvious fact that they are both reality shows, the two have nothing in common. So the grounds upon which you drew that comparison, and then determined Survivor to be 'better', are of course highly questionable.

BB6 hasn't been as entertaining as previous seasons, agreed. I have to say though ... SURVIVOR sucks!! The worst reality show out there.

Nuts McDougal from iF Magazine sez....
I seriously doubt Peter Jennings would have bothered himself with Big Brother ... it's fluff. Just like this article. And by the way, look up above at the headline folks. It's says BLOG ... not journalism ... BLOG. It's my choice to say what I want to say. It's an opinion, just like it's yours to tell me to go take a flying you know what ... it's a TV show folks. It's not like any of you are going to get to take home that cash prize. So why is everyone so angry at my "opinion!" Frankly, none of the remaining housemates deserve the money ... so you pick the lesser of the three evils and I'll pick mine ...

Aida from Hawaii sez....
You obviously don't watch the live feeds. Maggie gropes April every night in bed. They call it "tickling" and "snuggling", and it's so creepy, even Ivette is not lesbian enough to joing them. Maggie has also, spent endless nights and days devoted to villifying Janelle, in the most vulgar language. Maggie has not played the game. She's played the people playing the game which is how she's gotten this far in the game. She's a sour, kill joy, hypocritical, judgemental, selfrighteous, prude. It wouldn't matter if you knew this or not, UNLESS, you decided to write an article about the show...In that case, a responsible correspondent who cares about reporting with objectivity, would check ALL the facts, before making statements that could potentially damage his credibility in the future. I guess that would be the difference between,let's say a Peter Jennings...and a...YOU...Maybe that's why he did serious news and you do half ass informed articles about TV reality shows on the net.

JHodge from Palm Bay FL sez....
Well I just hope this article was your attempt at comedy. I would be here all day replying to every retarded statement you made, but just for one, Janelle is beautiful, why else would she have been in Playboy? Uh DUHHH, DEE DE DEE! Yur uh Moran.

Jessica from GET A CALENDAR sez....
By the way, you need a calendar, Fall begins Sept 20 something....and if the only thing you have to write about is how shows are not in the right season....you have a problem!!

Jessica from Brentwood CA sez....
I think you are off your rocker. Maggie has not played this game, she has had people play it for her. Janelle has done one hell of a job at keeping herself in the game, she has faught and faught and against all odds, she has made it amazingly far in the BB6 house. She has played an honest game!!! Maggie hasnt been "truly evil to anyone" but she has NOT played the game, and that is why she came to the house. The only person who has EARNED that money is Janelle....and the rest of America agrees, except that %12. Have you watched the live feed?? I would say 1 out of 500 people in there are fans of the "nerd herd"/"girl scout troop". And those are the people who watch almost every move in that house. So good luck getting back on your rocker, you will need some serious HELP!!!!!!!! - Jessica, speaking on behalf of many many jedi jani fans!

McDougal's Master from Detroit Rock City sez....
Eric was an obnoxious idiot. Maggot and Skeev-ette are obnoxious idiots by association, ergo they too are losers. Furtehrmore, both are insidiously manipulative, it's just that Maggot is more passive-aggressive. Janelle rocks and isn't nearly as plastic as that lump inside your head. So what if she had a boob job; you have a job & you're a boob! Seems fair to me. Go Janey go! Since the "Friend-sheep" hosed Kaysar twice, it's your game baby!

Nuts McDougal from iF Magazine sez....
Yes, April looked much better before her plastic surgery ... in fact, the thing that didn't make sense to me early on in the show was how old she looked compared to Jennifer. I couldn't understand how they went to school together -- she looked like Jennifer's mom. Then she talked about all her plastic surgery (and she has that horrible smoking addiction) and it all made sense. Janelle looks better ... but the plastic surgery has made it impossible for her to register real emotion in her face. She's a Barbie Doll -- frozen in time and would have been better off leaving well enough alone. Frankly, I could care less about any of the remaining roomies (I would have preferred Howie to take it all), but for now, I stand by my choice of Maggie. And finally -- you can't hold "Summer Series" to a calendar. When Fall TV shows start making their debut, "summer TV season" is over and the fall shows have been rolling out the past two weeks, hence -- all summer shows should have ended by now. I'll even give a grace period of the first week of September if that makes everyone happy. However, if we held the entertainment industry to the calendar, then we would have to really question whether the summer movie season starts the last week of April like they have insisted for many years now. And yes, I do like Big Brother ... and I don't mind getting half the picture from the edited versions on CBS, since I really can't imagine paying to watch live feeds of the show every day. To be honest, it creeps me out to think I can watch someone any time that I want. It's part of the show, yes, and for some I'm sure it's great to peer into the house, but for me, even being a Big Brother fan, I can't do it.

Charles Kelly from Tucson, Az sez....
Finally, someone other than myself and two others in the chat rooms see who should really win Big Brother. Maggie may have been seen as the "leader" just because she had to fill a void Ivette created for Cappy (Eric) but she has used a strategy all her own to win this. I think Maggie has been the most honest and genuine person, yea she got Kaysar out the week James was supposed to go but hey, Kaysar was a bunch of hot air. Maggie has stayed bipartisan during every quarrel, she remained stong and levelheaded, and she has worked out that body to make herself the number one target and my vote for the win. Thanks for not joining in on the nerd herd bashing and rooting for the real champion of BB6!

Mauricio Oliveira from Los Angeles sez....
Big Brother rocks, and it's a totally distinct shopw from Survivor....Janelle is also the best, and 80% of America is roting for her...We all DO hope that will win...the writer of this article,NUTS MCDOUGAL knows nothing about Big Brother, I doubt he watched the previous seasons....
9/14/2005 10:51:25 AM

Alex from Minnesota sez....
It is still summer. Fall begins the twenty-first or twenty second of September. Magggie is one of the nastiest people on the show. She is manipulative and tries to present heself as St Maggie. On the feeds she is always throwing guilt trips on the other woman in the Friendship and swears like a sailor. Even when she tried to do something good like throwing the HOH Ivette won, she had to make sure everyone knew how good she was by putting down one rather than something reasonable. Does she think Ivette is a complete idiot? Now she is making sure the Friendship knows they are supposed to vote for the Friendship only (supposedly Maggie). The other two have not brought up that piece of information. In my opinion Maggie is a sactamonious prig. I would choose Ivette to win over Maggie for although equally nasty, Ivette is honest.

i think reading this article was a waste of 30 seconds

alice from pennsylvania sez....
I was not a big Janelle fan at first, but once I got to know her, I just love her! She has played A wonderful game and obviously knows her stuff. In refrence to the show not ending in the summer, you need to look at your desk calendar.....FALL officially starts Sept. 22nd, A full 2 days after the last show of BB6.
9/14/2005 9:27:00 AM

Jen from Virginia sez....
Wow. You are definitely uninformed. Check out before and after photos of Janelle and April and you'll see which one is the Frankenstein. Watch a few minutes of the life feeds, and you'll see that Maggie is a manipulative, nasty cult leader, while Janelle is a real person - smart, genuine, competitive, and coincidentally beautiful. It's ok though, we don't want simpletons like you counted amongst us BB fans anyway; have fun being spoon fed your favorite "reality" show, Survivor.
9/14/2005 9:03:56 AM

Ste from Texas sez....
I agree on the summer show thing. Last I checked, summer started in June, but bb starts in July. I don't know why you're so worried about it interfering with your precious survivor show. We have to miss our bb so that they can show the premiere. AND, Survivor isn't constanly preempted by pre-season football. Don't be hating on other people's shows. If you don't like it, then DON'T WATCH IT! I'm not a survivor fan, but you don't see me posting nasty articles about it! Get over yourself.
9/14/2005 8:46:44 AM

Travis from Arizona sez....
September IS still Summner. And Survivor the real thing? Survivor is one of the most staged reality shows there is. Big Brother is easily the "real thing" and is far from staged. It is the ONLY reality show that allows us to watch 24/7. Most people who trash Big Brother don't really watch it they just criticize it.
9/14/2005 8:28:09 AM

Kiki from The South sez....
I think you need to do your homework a little more before writing your articles. You call Janelle the Frankenstein monster of plastic surgery but in truth that is actually April. Maggie is THE MOST evil person in that house. CBS for some reason has chosen to edit her up to look somewhat good but she is a self righteous witch. Next time do a little research before you sit down to write mmmkay.
9/14/2005 8:10:15 AM

You are daft from Toronto sez....
If you think Maggie deserves to win this then you have fallen victim to the wrath of CBS EDITING! To think that Maggie is the less evil one and that Janelle is a plastic surgery barbie means you are probably jealous just like the rest of the NERD HERD. Get your head out of your ass before you make comments about a show you know NOTHING about. Stick to Survivor...which is FAKE FAKE FAKE! You think those people stay out in the wilderness and have nothing......haha...then you must also believe that Jeff Probst really rides on a jet ski to New York.
9/14/2005 7:46:20 AM

Rhonda from Virginia sez....
Before you give your opinion on BB6 you need to watch the live feeds and not just the show. It is apparent from your comments that you only watch what CBS edits. Maggie is controlling, hypocritcal and possibly the worst of the three. If one of her teammates starts having fun with someone not in the Nerd Herd then she tries to rein them in. The houseguests are there to compete in a game and not have a slumber party each night for only their group. Maggie's own teammates lie to her but she believes only her group tells the truth. It is a game, they all deceive and she needs to open her eyes to this instead of pointing out only the flaws of the opposing alliance.
9/14/2005 7:02:26 AM

laura from new jersey sez....
well every ass is allowed their oppion.. and it is just like an ass to think maggie deserves to win. maggie has not done one thing to get to the money except just like ivette or april and that is to sit their fat ugly asses on the coat tails of those who really work at winning the game. i got a kick out of watching them fall apart.I hope that bb would one day to let the people vote on the winner cause only us the viewers and the live feed watchers know the real deal. i would vote for janelle..
9/14/2005 6:21:23 AM

N/A from Toronto sez....
fuck you.. you're probably a nerd like everyone in the fucking friendship. you rip on the sov 6 cause you know you would've never fit into that group... cause you yourself are probably some 4-eyed, freckle-faced dip shit who hides behind a computer to write these articles without even revealing your e-mail address cause you know the amount of hatemail you would receive. once again, fuck you!
9/14/2005 5:18:12 AM

Angie from Birmingham sez....
Obviously you don't watch the live feeds or read the boards if you truly think Maggie has done no evil. She's possibly the worst of them all but the show never edits that in. She's spewed some vile poison out of her mouth. She's the self professed morality queen of the house always talking about her moral superiority while lying and saying the most hateful things but in reality she's just a hypocrite. She's also very delusional but I guess you have to have the live feeds to know this about her.
9/14/2005 5:06:47 AM

Ron from South Florida sez....
Well, in regards to Nuts McDougal's article. I would like to see Janelle win, even though she hasn't been the most tactful at times, she has played the game the best out of the remaining three, and is a very tough and smart competitor. Also, I always liked Kaysers group better than the "Friendship". So, it would be great to see someone from Kaysers team win. April and her partner Jennifer were just a couple of evil stuck up pains in the backside, and I was glad to see them go. As for SURVIVOR being the real deal and much better than Big Brother?, well, it is better than BB, but is is just Big Brother in the Jungle, the same alliances, the same popularity contests, but it is much better done than BB though. Big Brother needs to go back to being voted on by the public, as for who gets eliminated, like it was one the first season. Survivor needs to be more about the challenges, and the last person to finish should leave the island, not the least popular. The last person to survive because of their smarts and physical ability to win challenges should win. The REAL real deal is The Amazing Race, no relying on someone else liking you to win, each team is in control of their own destiny, and it's who's the smartest and fastest who wins, the ultimate, real, Survivors.
