If so, I fail to see why she's so highly rated?

Her peak was many years ago so I don't understand why she is highly rated she is old that seems to be a good start

From what I remember which is not much she seemed to be more of a team player and got stuck into tasks as well

She's a monumental pain in the rear end with illusions of grandeaur.

She needs to accept that her time in the sun, whilst glorious and profitable, is now over.

I actually feel sorry for her that she needs to appear and demean herself in programmes like IAC and CBB,

What the hell did she do with the copious amounts of money she made as a model

No she has definitely aged and I don't mean just physically mentally too. She was amusing and argumentative on IAC but she chose decent targets and made sense. She's lost it sadly

It was a long time ago but from what I remember she was very dramatic and involved in lots of arguments but seemed a lot more together, and a lot more sane.

I agree, and how poor is she that she needs to appear in countless reality shows.

She is a shadow of her former self.

In the jungle she was bright, quick witted, and funny (IMO anyway) Not seen any of that so far in the house.

She seems kind of depressed these days.

Mind you, I don't blame her. I'd be depressed too if I had to live with some of those obnoxious loudmouths.

Ah poor Janice , being paid thousands....

Whatever she was paid it wasn't enough.

she was crazy on come dine with me

I suspect she is depressed every time she looks in the mirror. She must realise what she has done to her face.

Janice has done Im a celeb twice now (UK and US versions). She really got stuck in and was a trooper on our version, kept getting picked for trials but soldiered on... I think she wanted shed the bitchy (but brilliant) judge image she got from TopModel. Then she done the US version maybe 2 years later? I cant remember, but her character was different, pretty bossy and came accross as a know-it-all from doing the show previously. And its the latter character that she seems to have brought to cbb imo.

I don't think it's about money. I reckon she truly thinks she is a queen of Reality TV and has some status to maintain. She really has no idea how inept at it all she is now and I guess no one has the guts to tell her I kind of feel sorry for her.

She was also self-deprecating which I think was something which many liked about her, myself included.
In this she seems to act as if she's on a level above everybody else.

I suppose that in the space of 8 years a person can be spoilt by the media if everyone seems to be blowing smoke up their arse telling them how amazing they are.

In a way I feel a bit sorry for her, because although she was always brash and caustic, and what you'd see as having a New Yorker type of attitude, there was something very likable about her. But I'm not getting that now.

I think the lesson here is probably that if you want to have a go at doing a reality TV show, do one, but only one.
Continue being involved with reality TV and there's a very high risk that you'll change for the worse.

I think we've seen something similar to people in the UK too who continue their involvement with reality TV. I'm thinking as recently as the last series of our normal BB where the 'BB Legends' were anything but legends. You could see how Brian, Aisleyne, and Nikki were just different, and not in a good way. They appeared to believe their own hype and all seemed to be quite damaged by reality TV in their own ways.

I agree. I believe that just to think that in itself is a sign that there's a problem.
How can any sane person actually think that, and actually take it seriously, without there being something just a little bit wrong with them?

No, she was feisty and fun and very together .I see such a change in her not just in her appearance but in her whole demeanour

didn't she used to be a Bee Whisperer?

She was dreadful on IAC. Hasn't plumbed those depths yet.

Yes, there was an ironic and knowing nod and a wink about her before, which was one of the big differences between then and now. Like she knew she was on a silly TV show for fun. Now she seems to be taking it all very seriously. As though reality TV defines her very being.

and a fridge was involved lol

she urinated in the camp lol Daniel Baldwins brother was aslo in the jungle at the time, the same one that was on CBB a few years ago.

I liked her on IACGMOOH,
She was up for the challenges, she seemed more together & was even quirky.

Janice in my opinion doesn't seem to be firing on all cylinders, Which is sad!
