[edit] Biased? Where are the citations?

I saw that an article of James Rhine was finally written, and I began to read it. However, I stopped reading when it got to James' Big Brother 7 chronology... it seems somewhat biased against Janelle. To quote the article:

"...James' decision to nominate Jase, as opposed to Mike "Boogie" Malin, was made when members of the Season 6 Alliance agreed that if one of them won the Head of Household position in the coming week, week 4, they would nominate Will and Boogie for eviction. In week 4, Season 6 alliance member Janelle Pierzina won HOH, but nominated Boogie, as well as Erika Landin for eviction. When Boogie won the Power of Veto, and removed himself from being nominated, Janelle nominated Diane Henry instead of Will, effectively breaking her promise to her alliance members...."

Why does it seem that the tone of the paragraph seems to reflect negatively on Janelle? It seems like the author had the intention to prove that Janelle was wrong and James was right. And did the Season Six alliance even promise each other that? I've watched each episode of Big Brother: All-Stars, and I don't recall them ever promising each other that. If it did indeed occur, it must have occurred on the Live Feeds and not all the fans of Big Brother have the Live Feeds, so they are automatically going to disagree with the article. This is where I believe citations are crucial to give the article credibility. All in all, I think the author should cite their sources. Even if the author was writing from memory, they still should find a web page (Reality News Online, Jokers Updates, or some other site that covers the Big Brother Live Feeds) which confirms what the author is writing is authentic.

Hey I'm not sure who wrote that but it did happen, when James was HOH on the Tuesday ep. after veto was won and took someone off, they(Season 6) all promised to get chill town out the next week because Jase was after Janelle, Kaysar, and Howie, and not James so they asked him to put up Jase unstead of Will like he wanted to.

I just rewatched that episode to see if this deal actually was shown on television, and there was no deal or promise shown on television regarding them nominating Chilltown the next week. I'm not saying that it didn't happen, but it just wasn't shown on television. After the Power of Veto competition, the four of them just sat upstairs and talked about who should go up for eviction in George's place. James said that he had an understanding with Jase, but the others said that Jase was a very dangerous player to them as a group. Then, the episode goes to Kaysar telling Jase that they're putting him up for nomination, and Jase then called James and Marcellas out outside. No deal was aired on television, so the author should cite their sources so that people can see for themselves whether something really happened or not. A-Supreme 19:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I request the author of the page to properly cite their sources. Even if the author was writing from memory, they should still find an article or source that confirms that what they wrote really happened. A-Supreme 23:59, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

They never showed the "promise" on the show. As we all know Big Brother is very edited... I know the promise happened cause they made it to me. I shook hands with all of them in the HOH room and based my decision to turn on them when Howie and Janelle went after Diance and let Boogie win the Veto competition. They do show on the show that Howie questions Janelle as to why are they "going after Diane, when I thought we were suppossed to go after Chill Town". This should stand and the original post was correct. Apparently the poster was watching the live feeds and had a real knowledge of what happened as opposed to the edited version.24.148.5.83 19:55, 7 August 2007 (UTC)jamesbb7

[edit] Merge?

Is the information in this article going to be merged into the BB6 and BB7 articles? _{J Di}^talk 18:19, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Definitely should be merged. - Rjd0060 23:27, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

No reason for it to be merged...James has a right to have his OWN page, apart from a general BB6/BB7 page.-deb —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.97.145.2 (talk) 18:04, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Athletic prowess/size of gentials

I removed the paragraph in the intro referring to his athletic ability and "well-endowed penis" (incidentally, grammatically speaking, men can be well-endowed with large penises. Their penises are not, though, well endowed themselves). It cites frequent jokes by Howie referring to his penis size, but I think that, unless there's documented evidence that James is abnormal in that respect, a joke can't be considered adequate proof. I removed the bit about his athleticism, too- unless there is mention of trophies, awards, or experience playing for certain teams, saying a person is athletic is a matter of opinion and not encyclopedic.

Okay, the same guy at the same IP address tried to slip in another unsourced, unsubstantiated reference to Rhine's genitals, which I've again removed. This is also the person who inserted stuff about another reality contestant having a "lesbo haircut," another having a "man's jawline," an another having "blowjob pictures," of which I could find no other reference. Am I safe at this point in not giving this anonymous person the benefit of the doubt regarding his seriousness? ChrisStansfield 08:56, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
