The word that the producers are playing to us is that Jen is a lot smarter than she is letting on to be. Her mother says so.

So Jen is playing like she is not as sharp as she usually is.

It does not seem to be working out for her.

Why doesn't she bring her "A" game and just be who she is?

(Unless that is what she is doing?)

She is going to be sent packing and she will have to live with the fact that she wasn't herself. Perhaps the "real" Jen is a lot more likable?

I say go with your "A" game. If you go down in flames, go down with the first string. Not the bench warmers.

Hello Tobor,

back to the armchair, right?

Sometimes Jen leaves me puzzled, to say the least. I don't see that wit I'd like to see, at times she seems to me so gullible.

The only thing I really admire in Jen is her unflinching response to attacks and I never heard her use foul language. (Maybe I missed some). It takes great self-control for not getting down to their same level of hatred and verbal abuse. This is really the best quality in her. But as for her smarts... sometimes she let me a bit dubious.

The only thing that's uplifting about her going home is that she's better off without that crowd and should go home and have the good life she's proud to talk about.

This BB experience wasn't worth the trouble... I can't honestly see she had fun in there... as she keeps saying that she wants only to have a fun experience in the house. She's just putting on a brave front but she's obviously disappointed and by God she should show her disappointment, I won't accept any more of her smiles as if everything was nice and dandy.
She should just admit that the experience was disappointing but glad that her integrity was maintained.

I don't buy that Jen is smarter than she's acting. Moms are not always realistic about their childrens qualities. And I don't mean to imply she's a bright girl but rather not any brighter than she's showing us. I won't ever get over her crying jag over her picture on the wall or taking her moms picture off the wall. Niether of those happenings show very much maturity or comon sense.

It just shows she's very superficial and unrealistic.

Well if Jen is smarter than she is playing. I would think the superficial, unrealistic part we see is an act. Someone that pretty could pull it off easily. If so, one of the reasons she smirks at Dick when he calls her ugly inside and out, is she knows the act is working on the one guy running the house right now. What more do you want?

Are we forgetting, during the first week, she told a huge lie about herself and Nick. She boldly lied to several women and to Nick when he confronted her about the lie.

In my mind, Jen shows that she is very self centered, jealous, dishonest. She is sarcastic and socially inept.

I also see her as having a great deal of self-control.

I think most people let their true self, eventually show if they last over a month in BB. I firmly believe Will pulled it off. I'm not so sure Jen is Will brilliant.

Jen is either Will brilliant or Holly blank.

I believe that Dick is himself.

I admire that she seems to have ice water flowing in her veins.

I don't think that she is brilliant, but she usually lets all that crap that Dick was tossing at her run off. I think that is hard to do.
