I know I was just trying to make a point. She is also pretty damn limber for her age. I hope I can do that with my legs when I'm 60!

My take on Janice is that many years of alcohol abuse (she's said she was an alcoholic) and probably drug abuse have addled her brain a bit making her a 'character'. I'm sure there is a medical condition that describes her but I dont know what it is. I think she is still smart enough to play the game and she does play it but she is also a little crazy so its not all deliberate/intentional when she acts up, blurts things out and acts generally bananas.

The US housemates with the exception of Scoop had no patience with her. Everyone else seemed to enjoy her for who she is.

Are you going to have a go at the others on this thread that think she's 'nuts' or are you reserving that pleasure for me?

Why do people always think you are picking on them when you have a different view?

I think she's nuts as well, what I don't like is defence of Austin when he treats her poorly. It doesn't matter that she's nuts, she's a hoooman bean.

Because you focused your attention on me, when other posters in this thread also supported Austin and bad mouthed Janice.

FYI I'm entitled to my opinion and i hope Austin wins.

Treated with impatience and disrespect because she's a bit eccentric? Called names, not listened too, shouted down. I wouldn't. Just because Janice is a bit batty doesn't mean she is worthless and has no feelings.

The irony is that age, and often a bit of battyness will come to us all. If treating people like that because they are elderly, or a bit mentally challenged is OK, are you looking forward to your turn?

I've never known any elderly woman to act in the way that she does before. Sure some of them can rude and annoying, but Janice is on another level.

Is 60 really considered elderly? My mom is 61 and she'd be pissed if someone said she was elderly

Austin's bullying of Janice makes me sick.

No way Janice is 60 though, I'm pretty sure Sherrie is older than that, and Bobby can only be a year or 2 short of it. I would say its pushing it to say Janice is under 70 in reality.

edit: Sherrie is 65, and Bobby is 57

I think she's 60. This photo was taken in 1976 which would make her 21 if she's 60 now, she looks about 21 there

It is to me. I see anything 60+ as elderly.

janice thought if she disagrees with everything austin and jenna will say, she'll be saved by british public. how wrong she was. lol. she was too much. she was constantly passive aggressive with austin and jenna and provoking them. now she's gone, everyone can take a breath in the house.
