I wasn't always rooting for her, but after seeing how everyone is treating her like a pariah, and how Dick is acting like a grade school age child yanking someone's ponytails, I wouldn't mind seeing her get in a sock or two. HoH for Jen again would be interesting.

Jen made major progress with how she handled herself against the DickDanielleNick "sandwich" last night. The HGs witnessed the appalling tirade and have had enough. It was evident after they were all very nice to Jen, and stood their ground against Dick. I've said before I was not a fan of Jen, and originally thought Dicks "in your face" tactics were funny. However, there is a line between "funny" and "abusive". Yesterday from his first outburst at Jen in the bedroom, then continued in the kitchen with Nick joing and then Danielle, and leading to the ice tea incident.....I hold little if any respect for Dick at this point, and give my support to Jen. The only person last night after everything, and after Dick being hauled into DR who was "agreeing" with him, was his daughter, Danielle, who is clearly showing signs of "chip off the block" at this point.

I really didn't care for Jen at the outset. ...but she is now my favorite due to the fact that she does not buckle to the rants and abuse thrown by ED. In the 'real world' she could have a restraining order on ED in no time. I can't believe that CBS is condoning his behaviour!

Though she is not my favorite, I find myself slowly being won over by Jen, though opinions of HGs may or may not change as the game goes on. I'm sure Jen may have her issues, but I don't think anything she has ever said or done warrant the nasty vile hate-filled words spewing from E.D.'s mouth. No one deserves verbal abuse like that and I only hope that CBS shows those clips to let the viewers see that side of Dick, though I know they will never see all that the internet viewers have seen. I have to give Jen major props on how well she has handled it all, stood strong against E.D. and remains calm & a positive person rather than one filled with venom.

I wish if Jen was asked a question on Thursday, that she would say, "I'm not sure Julie. I've been too busy getting verbally abused in this house by Dick, and getting tea spilled on my head. I haven't been able to worry about game strategy, since I've been fearful that he's going to physically hurt me."

Go Jen!!! I continue to like her more and more everyday. In fact, I am amazed by her. Some perceive Jen as heartless and unfeeling, but I see an incredibly strong woman who refuses to let anyone "tear her down" as she said yesterday. She let it get to her briefly when she was nominated, quickly regained composure, and continued to walk through the house with a smile on her face. Jen isn't overly emotional, doesn't get caught up in the petty stuff, and is there to play the game, IMO. She refuses to let anyone or anything to get in her way. If only I could be so lucky to handle controversy the way she does and that is saying a lot since she is 10 years younger than I am :-). Kudos to Jen!!!

I think Jen is very smart, and is using Dick to her advantage. She knows very well how to incite him and now, instead of the most hated, people are feeling sorry for her (justified) and even in the house she is gaining some sympathy. If she can gain some friends in the house other than Kail, she may be able to go very far as opposed to a week or so ago when she seemed doomed.

Had to come in here for a while because I was tired of reading all the 'Jen made him do it' in the other threads. It's starting to feel like the 'it's all Janelle's fault' we've seen in the past. I hope Jen gets HOH and sends Dick packing!

I love this! I was thinking that I was the only one who initially liked Dick and couldn't stand Jen and who has now done a 180! I'm rooting for Jen and Jess to go to the final 2.

Hukdon, you aren't the only one. I really liked ED in the beginning and was miffed at Jen's narcissistic behavior, but events over the last week (and especially last night), have made me do a 180. While I'm not crazy about Jen's CT connection, I would at least like to see her make the Final Four with Eric, Jessica and Dustin.

I'm not a fan of the CT connection, either, Lexie. Just like the way she is able to (most of the time), control herself. The whole crying thing over her wall picture was crazy, but who knows if that was a set up by the CT gang? She did cry in the diary room, but maybe that's part of playing her role. Who knows?

Count me as another that initially liked ED and couldn't stand Jen and has now done a 180. I don't know that I am totally a fan, but I also don't think she deserves what is happening and I am now cheering her on. I too want her to get this next HOH and send Dick packing!

Exactly Lucy. While I'm not necessarily her biggest fan, I like her a lot more than I did at the beginning. But what happened last night was totally uncalled for and I appreciate the way Jen handled herself. I don't know that I could have handled myself as calmly as she did. My heart breaks whenever I see someone get bullied. I'm not saying I want her to win BB8 (mostly because of her CT connection), but I have no problem with her lasting longer in the game than Dick, Dani or Amber, or making the Final Four.

I didn't like Jen at the beginning either. She is young, a thing you tend to forget. Selflessness comes from experiences and giving of oneself. Becoming independent, having a responsible job/career, having to support yourself, marrying and having to think of your partner, becoming a parent... growing the hell up. All shapes you into a different person to the one you were when you finally gained some freedom from being someone's child. Sure, Jen is narcissistic. She doesn't know how to feel for others.... One would hope that life experiences will help her evolve. She's still only 23. dick, on the other hand, is 44. What's his excuse?! His daughter behaves like a spoiled brat and is cheating on her boyfriend on national TV yet he calls Jen a skank. His daughter works at Hooters and Jen is finishing a double major and he calls Jen dumb. I like Jen for the strength she's shown on the feeds. I hate that CBS has depicted her poorly and shown dick to be some kind of saintly parent trying to mend fences. What a farce. dick and Daniele have talked about auditioning and getting to the finals of BB6 (pair season). They have talked about seeing each other at auditions for this season and he asked her if she read his text message shortly before entering sequester... Setup? I'd say so. CBS knows all this and we do too yet they are putting on some farce for the TV viewers and will, no doubt, continue to depict Jen as the villain of this year's BB.

I just watched Dick's rant and tea-pouring incident from last night and it was disgusting. He is abusive and I can't figure out why the other houseguests just let him say those horrible things to her. They are walking around the kitchen and that Nick was backing him up and adding his criticism of her.Nick must go this week. Jen bravely faced them and never backed down. She deserves a medal! I never liked Jen at first and was slightly entertained by Dick. Now I can't stand him and hope that the viewing public who don't watch the feeds will find out to what extremes he has gone in his hate of Jen. Why does he hate her anyway? I think in his kinky way he is attracted to her and this is his way of dealing with it. Ewww.

I have to say, looking at the bikini pics of Jen today, that contrary to what Dick said, there is no cellulite on that bum!
