I agree. If I were Jen, that would be the only way. ~~ well, perhaps one with all girls and the other with all boys would be okay, too. And her demand might have given Big Brother the idea. Why not? BB is allowed to change things up however they see fit.

And besides the contract, which is binding, she'd be getting an all expense paid vacation for four weeks!! Or whatever the time is.

Here's a article about the Jury house and Jen also Dustin at: http://www.realitybbq.com/

I hope Jen went to sequester and is having a great time, but if she didn't that will be ok to. It's rather ridiculous of the producers not to show any clips from sequester. It's not as though enough time isn't already dedicated to recaps from the past week.

In the article at RealityBBQ it mentions Jen finding the envelope on the couch. What is that all about?

The speculation about whether or not Jen is in sequester baffles me. If Jen was not in sequester someone would have seen her out in public and it would be in the press. Not the mainstream media because I'm sure they don't care but one of the tabloids or blogs would have mentioned a Jen sighting. Anticipating that someone might respond with "well, CBS could have threatened her to lie low and not be seen or they would sue, etc." my answer would be...Even though CBS can force HGs to do almost anything, if Jen had refused to go to sequester you can bet your bottom dollar she would also refuse to "lie low". What would be the point? CBS can't hold her prisoner and if she was going to "lie low" on her own she simply would have gone to sequester in the first place. If she's not in sequester she would have been seen as she goes about her normal life. It's as simple as that.

I'm just thinking that when they reached the sequester house maybe they were told about America's Player and therefore don't want us to know their thoughts. Or that Jen refused to go to the sequester house and is staying at another location. Who knows they may all be in seperate locations so they can't gang up and vote as a block against one person, based on their own personal feelings. I personally like that idea so they can't convince others to see it their way.

Messalina -- Not necessarily. She could just be at Vanna White's house or she could have taken off on a vacation. Or staying with her lawyer or with Boogie or Dr. Will. Or with Dani's grandmother, who seems to be the refuge of choice for those Dick rejects. LA's a big place and unless the tabloid papparazzi were actually looking for her, they might not see her walking down the street.

It's pretty clear from Jen's interviews that she was going to sequester and doing it happily. It's also pretty clear from the AG interview that the jury members do NOT know about the AP twist and the producers want to keep it that way. And, for me at least, it's pretty clear they are not showing jury house footage because it's not worth it to them. I don't think getting to see the jury house brings in or excites BB viewers. It costs quite a bit of money to send a film crew there, get everyone miked up, etc. I think BB has decided it's not worth it. Sure, rabid BB fans would like to see it, but the average viewer? Not so much. I highly doubt the jury are being housed separately. That's extremely expensive. They've never bothered to do it before to keep the jury from tainting itself. I can't see any reason why this season, out of the blue, they'd decide to do that.

Perhaps they have agreed that housing them together has tainted itself, therefore the change was needed. Large corps like CBS can get deals that make it attainable to have seperate places rather than one big mansion. They may have been able to get seperate bungalows at the same price. The Corp. I used to work for did this for training trips many times. Sometimes we would all be put up in a Villa and other times we would be in seperate bungalows or hotel rooms, it just depended on what type of deal they could attain that was afforable.

What---"LA's a big place and unless the tabloid papparazzi were actually looking for her, they might not see her walking down the street." You may be right, What. But while actual paparazzi might not be interested enough to stalk her, don't discount the obsessed fans who would. LOL. Look at how intensely they tried (and succeeded) in finding out where the sequester house was in past seasons. Some "fan" would have seen her and jumped on the Internet with the scoop. I'll bet there are people out there as we speak who are looking for her. Even if she was staying with friends it would be pointless for her to hide from the public. As I said before, if she was forced to do that, then surely she would have just gone on into sequester and not be faced with contract troubles with CBS. I do agree with some posters who think they are all being sequestered separately. This makes sense to me. And...I've always wanted a jury vote to be based strictly on their personal and individual interaction with the finalists. That's the way I would vote. Strategy, floating, winning comps -- these things are not as important to me. Anyone who survives to the F2 has "played the game" so far as I'm concerned. I would vote for the winner based on what I think of them on a personal level. I could never be a BB contestant. I carry grudges to the grave.

I found this posted on another site. Rumor but food for thought: ""[The producers only] anticipate [broadcasting] one jury house package before the end of the season," a CBS spokesperson told Reality TV World on Friday." (from Reality TV World) A source at CBS said that this week may be the one where the jury house is shown, and that they hadn't shown anything because the hurricane had delayed their entry into the house. They also said that something happened with Jen (which we may or may not see, depending on what the producers decide). Also - rumour has it a reporter slipped and asked Dustin about America's Player... oops! It's also being whispered that Dustin and Jen are being sequestered away from the other HG - Jen because she found the envelope on the couch, and Dustin because of the reporter slip-up.

I think the rumor about the envelope is just that, a rumor. And CBS did address that at one point (or was it Alison?). Either way, they are too careful with the AP twist to allow a stupid thing like an envelope to be left behind. As far as the Dustin and reporter thing... I've heard about that. Or rather, that something was said to Dustin that may have affected the outcome of the game.

or, as i said yesterday, they could be sequestered seperately. there are plenty of cbs executive who have vacation houses. anything is possible. to keep the america's player twist hidden, cbs would pay to secure that secret. i'm not saying this is definitely happening, i'm only saying that it is possible due to above news article.

I can almost guarantee that the HGs are all together in the Jury House. BB doesn't wait until the day before the first jury member is evicted to rent a secluded house for the jury to go to, they sign a rental contract as soon as possible so that they have a guaranteed secure location to send them. BB is not a top rated program making hand over fist money. It's in the top 20, but not the top 10 and isn't a "water cooler" show like American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, or even the karaoke show that's been a hit this Summer. Renting the house, if the past few jury houses are any indication, is not cheap. They are top notch secluded villas tucked away somewhere very posh. BB isn't just going to write off the expense of the jury house they rented, and then stash the HGs in various hotels where they'd have to make sure that they don't come into contact with anyone. Sure, they go into pre BB house seclusion, but it isn't for very long and nobody knows who they are while they're there. By the time BB is over, Dustin will have been in seclusion for 28 days. That's a pretty long time to try to hide him from the public at a hotel. Maybe they put him in the house, but Jen and Amber in hotels? Doubtful. Again, cost and difficulty trying to keep them away from the public. Jen was balking at going to jury house, but there's no way she'd go to a hotel where she'd have no freedom when she could be at the jury house with just Dustin who isn't ED and they could get along ok, or at least stay away from each other a much larger place (and grounds) than the BB house. Sure CBS makes money on ads, live feeds, text messaging, and the new cell phone updates thing, but I highly doubt if it would be enough to keep the HGs separate.

I haven't a clue but as to the 'cost' to keep then separate. Don't forget Amy, Eric and others were kept seperate for several weeks during BB3 ;) In just over a week they will all be coming back for the jury no matter where they are at the moment.

People need to remember this is AG's show now, and perhaps she was never a fan of all the sequester footage. It is possible. As for splitting them up, I doubt they would do that. They would have a very hard time casting the show in the future. Few extroverts who would be on BB would sign up for potentially 4 weeks of isolation as part of the show. It would scare a lot of people away, plus it would unduly impact the game as more people than ever would try to bail to avoid going to the sequester.

I know we only ever saw the booted HGs in the jury house but did their "handlers" stay there too? So if the bootees are housed separately, they'd at least be with that person. Occasionally the HGs speak fondly of who was with them during the original incoming sequester and I always wondered if that person was with them later.

I personally would not mind 4 weeks of seclusion as long as I had books to read and movies to watch. It would be more painful to me to be secluded with people I did not like than to be alone. I hope Jen is alone. She is going to be spending a large chunk of money on her psych bills. How rough is it when you are with people 24 7 that do not like you. I remember what it was like in high school being made fun of constantly and knowing that if someone liked you they could not show it.

Jen isn't going to be seeing any psychs as a result in her time in the BB house. She is secure in who she is and probably believes all the other HGs need therapy, not her.

How could they be in Mexico, there is a double hurricane storm there from the pacific (Los Cabos) and from the gulf region. Mexico is not the place to be at the moment..

Sigh. Spunky, I have a very expensive once-in-a-lifetime vacation with my hubby coming up in about 12 days....in the Yucatan Pennisula of Mexico. It's going to be like dodging a bullet to make it in and outta there without a hurricane.

Oh my!! A bad time to go to Mexico! I'll never forget my son hiding in a shelter while surviving Emily in 2005 (he was under the eye!!), his friend's wedding was moved to Cancun when the storm abated. Mexico is nice in April! Maybe we'll see the Jury House next Thursday.

For all we know they could be up in the house used by The Donald for Apprentice in the hills of Beverly. If they are in Bel Aire, there is security that will follow any cars of non-residents or expected guests that pass through the gates if on alert. I know, I was followed once when showing some friends the area. They left me alone, but I was followed until I left the area. They could be anywhere.
