Just wondered which sibling everyone thought was the best (most helpful, supportive, etc.). Not necessarily your favorite to read about. I only included the older ones or ones just a few years younger and left off the step-siblings because that brings a whole set of issues to the situation.

I voted for Janine because even though it was a hard choice between her and Charlie, she puts up with so much from Claudia but still helps her out. I think Kristy is generally better to Charlie than Claud is to Janine. It's also hard to judge boys against girls in something like this because I know the relationship between brother and sisters is a lot different between the ones between sisters. Still, I think Janine is really good to Claudia. I also think Becca is usually pretty sweet to Jessi and Jeff is good to Dawn. Anna also seems very supportive and like a good sister.

Charlie. He was always my favorite BSC sibling. I found Janine really annoying. I think it would be funny if someone was to vote for Adam or Jordan.

I voted Janine. She takes a lot of crap from Claud that she doesn't deserve at all. She knocks herself out trying to help her with homework and what not....it's not her fault that Claudia and little friends can't comprehend her vocabulary. She shouldn't have to dumb herself down. I really never understood why they gave her such a hard time. "ooooh, Janine is SO smart". So what? I never even saw her being boastful about it. I'm sure she knew that Claudia was constantly annoyed with her, but whenever her sister needed help, she was there. That's a great sibling! That's my rant of the day. team janine

^ Totally agree about being glad Janine didn't have to dumb herself down ;D I hate it when people are expected to do this. Someone else can't compete so you're expected to make yourself bad enough to be on their level....

I voted for Becca. I mean Janine and Charlie are gonna be the only two getting votes! Janine IS quite helpful but it's not like she does it with a smile on her face a lot of the time. She DOES act rather put out by having to help Claudia at times. And possibly it's Claudia's attitude that turns her off but still... I dunno. I just chose Becca because she is always so helpful with Squirt.

^ I really like Becca, too. I never considered how good she is with Squirt but you're right. I also think it's cute how attached she is to Jessi (though it can be slightly annoying)

I think it's cute how she's all attached to Jessi, too! You're right it can be annoying (Jessi's Big Break) but overall, they seem really close and I like that. Jessi is very involved with her little brother and sister and I think that's pretty cute.

I'm on Team Janine, too, secondhandshoes. She may not help Claud with her homework in a very cheerful manner, but she does help a LOT. And she seems pretty encouraging at times, too, telling Claud she's not an idiot and all that. I think I like Janine better than Claudia, actually.

^ I know I like Janine better than Claudia ;D I wouldn't be too cheerful about helping Claud with her homework, either, if she treated me like she treats Janine. I can't stand it how Claudia always makes a big deal out of Janine being smart - like it's a bad thing. I know she's jealous but think she could be smart too if she would just try. Anyway, I'm getting off topic.... ;D I'm waiting for someone to vote for one of the Pike triplets ;D Though they do seem like decent brothers at the end of Mallory Hates Boys and Gym when they make her the cake. I always like that part.

I like both Charlie and Janine, but I had to vote for Charlie I think because he always seemed to be there for his siblings, not in an over the top way, but he seemed to want to look out for them and help take care of them. Maybe that is just the sense I was getting.

^ Agree about Charlie. It was a hard choice between him and Janine for me. I think he was almost like the father figure in the Thomas family and really had to shoulder a lot of the responsibility after their dad took off.

I also been a fan of the Pikes, but I like Janine too, and Emily Michelle and the Ramsey's are cute too.

Charlie. I mean, the guy has dedicated his life to driving his sister and friends around!

^ Agree. The Baby Parade float and helping at the Krusher's "Klinic", taking the girls to the cemetary in Bad Luck Mystery, driving the Krashers in Haunted Mansion, not to mention all of the BSC meetings. But he does get paid like $.50 cents a time for those ;D I really enjoyed reading about Charlie and Karen's interaction in Karen's Monsters. He was also really sweet - so was Sam - to take her on a "date" in Karen's Worst Day. The way he treats the younger siblings reminds me of how some of the older kids at the horse show always treated me. Made me feel so special and "cool" when I was a little kid ;D
