This is so scary to me. Shouldn’t they have epipens on site if she can’t carry hers? I love Janice and hate this happened.
Come for the tea. Stay for the shade.

I love Janice too. They ought to make her a RHOA. She’d shake things up.
You would not love Janice if you had ever encountered her in real life…..
Yeah, we’ve heard. Clearly we don’t want to be her BFF IRL. She’s great TV though.
Yay! An excuse to post a BBUK thing: I saw a news alert saying that Big Brother Austin got naked for a fellow houseguest. I got excited, thinking this was OUR Austin, but, dammit, it turned out to be Ex- A List (Logo TV) “star” Austin Armacost, who is in the BBUK house, along with Janice and BackDoor Teen Mom Farrah.
“Our” Austin allegedly got it in last night on live feeds.
An I have no idea why all of these comment keep getting moderated.
WTF! That guy easily could’ve broken her fall but instead he acted like he was afraid to touch her. Seems like they were more concerned with filming the “fit” than actually helping her.
I’m watching this season, because we both know I’m a BB addict and watch every English language version I can find. While Janice may have been stung and I’m sure it was painful I’m also sure she was playing this up. She was back in the house shortly after. She is showing her Diva side up big time. She has even gotten the other houseguests to do all her unpacking for her lmao
Hey girlfriend! Of course she is back in the house. Once you use your epipen or get a shot you will be find. She didn’t have a heart attack, she had an allergic reaction to bee stings. It was CLEAR seeing her hand she had been stung. Give the world’s first supermodel a break, will you?
I’ve been through anaphylaxis twice with my husband. He was pretty wiped out after the Epipen! He never had seizures, which I believe are rare and his stings never turned black. I know snake bites do turn black.
I’m allergic too yellow jackets and after you have the epi injection and adrenaline you bounce back pretty quickly. You may still stay swollen for awhile though. If you have a severe reaction you can certainly go into anaphylactic shock. She might have passed out if she was getting starting to go into shock. I hope she wasn’t playing.
Yeah… a lot of people just don’t know about these things. You can react this quickly, and bounce back too, IF you survive. I can’t believe that they don’t have a nurse or EMT type on there – seems like they were more concerned about keeping her on the immovable camera. They send in a douchebag security guy who doesn’t even touch her? Try to calm her nicely?? Make her lie down (a recommended thing to do)? Just says “Bear with me”…. but REALLY DUDE?
Janice will be tired and potentially a little itchy or will have extra sensitivity to other things if she is allergic to them. If they have to do the food challenges on this show – she might get to swallow a few extra things like a handful of Pepcid (GREAT for hives, etc.)
I almost died from an allergic reaction to shrimp. Ate it all my life but then, boom. It’s scary shit. Interesting thing about it was, I was backing out from the hospital room, but my body wasn’t. Things were getting farther away and the sounds were more distant. (Like a minion backing away from the Queen)
On one level I was panicked. On a deeper level I was thinking “If this is how you die, it’s really not that bad! You just drift backwards.” I didn’t see a white light or a tunnel. The shot of adrenalin and benadril brought me back to normal. I’m glad cameras weren’t there to film it like poor Janice…I was so ugly (giant white hives on my face, huge lips and eyes swelled almost shut) that when the elevator door opened, a family standing there gasped and jumped back. LOL All this to say, I can relate Janice!!
Not sure how doubters in the twittersphere explain her hand turning black in front of our eyes – clearly anaphylaxis- however as a long time viewer of BBUK – the English viewers are deeply skeptical of the show. It is much more of an Orwellian experience than BBUS, and the producers and a team of psychologists manipulate the show and the contestants in a very cunning and sophisticated way.
I’m terribly allegic to stings as well and can tell you from lots of experience (farm girl) that once you get the shot recovery is pretty fast. The only thing I’ve ever needed was a downer because heart racing and nervousness from the Epinephen. Who the hell just stands there when someone says they can’t swallow (breathe) and watches someone fall to the floor- what an asshole! I’m glad she’s okay and hopefully she’ll keep her pen with her & she won’t have to find someone.
Janice is the best kind of nutbag. So sorry this happened to her.
Hope she is okay. Easy to die from that crap.
Sorry, but Janice has been playing a OTT Looney Tune since coming into that house and its a case of crying wolf too many times. Yes she did get stung not bit as she says (bees die after stinging so probably got stung once) . The man in the Diary Room asked her if she had problems breathing and she had no problems answering back that “I nearly can’t breathe anymore” in a loud voice. Yes she did have an allergic reaction but in no way do I think it was life-threatening.
She did a Norma Desmond and got what she wanted..a lot of press coverage in the States .That way she gets a few more interviews stateside after she gets out of BBUK
How scary! Glad she’s OK.
What am I missing here? It is beyond me that Janice wasn’t protected from this incident, entirely protected. When very young, I was a bee wrangler in a large California county and would get called by the fire department to go catch swarms. One of the major concerns was that someone would be killed by a bee swarm; that is why swarm catchers are called. We were also able to bring our new hives home and thus got our honeymakers for free. It is maddening that Janice wasn’t protected.
Apologies for vehemence and overuse of of the word “protected.” Janice has not been able to watch over herself, in many examples that she herself has offered from her life story, told on various reality shows and in articles throughout the years. In this case,Janice ought never to have been put in this situation in the first place.
Love your new set up TT. Love the witty and intelligent commenyets, too. I even love when a window licker sneaks through, it brings dome levity into our midst. Haha. Keep going Tamara. You’re doing great!
I know my opinion will be unpopular, but I find it suspect. I particularly love how the guy is perfectly out of the camera’s view for the “seizure”.
I watched this live and was disgusted that channel 5 decided to show it. Loads of people are saying she was faking it which is unfair, but apparently Janice has left the house multiple times due to different medical emergencies and she’s only been in there for a week.
TT are you watching the show? This series is pretty good. Farrah is dreadful but she’s providing pretty good entertainment. No one has heard of this Austin guy in the UK even though he lives here and I cannot stand him on the show. He’s very bitchy and he keeps picking on Janice. But all in all a great mix of housemates. A few of my US friends watch it online
