thought the editing of Sunday night's show was right on target. I haven't seen Jen do anything in the house that isn't all about Jen
=
This is how I feel about Jen, too. And I think that she put up Danielle because she was jealous and Dick because he scolded her. I like the father/daughter team and I hope they can resolve their issues on this show.
I didn't like Dick at first but finding out that he was a single dad who brought up both kids on his own changed my opinion of him.
I was kind of hoping that having another person to hate would maybe draw Danielle and her dad back together.

I have to disagree with those that say Jen's nominations were totally emotional. I think it was both strategy AND emotional.

Daniele is a huge threat to everyone, she has an alliance with her father Dick and Nick.

Dick has Daniele and Nick has Daniele. So it would be smart to break up this union as soon as possible.

However, I think she shouldn't have put up Joe instead of Daniele, she should have stuck with her original plan of Nick.

tracy I think you have misundestood. Dick dumped the kids off at his mom's when they were toddlers.

that isnt raising your kids.

he then would travel and do other fun stuff that you cant do if you are a committed parent.

quote:

there is a blankness to her eyes

if jen's story of her life (that she told last night to Amber) is true, she has reason to put up walls and be blankeyed.

For those who say she is lacking in life and people skills, that could be from being on her own at such a young age.

I dont like thinking about what happens to young girls alone on the street at that age.

some kinds of trauma will stick with a person and often show as Blankness and lack of emotion/empathy.

psychiatry isnt my forte'. Someone else can analyze blank eyes more fully. Adven? karuuna?




I was trying to figure out what it was that made me uneasy watching Jen, because from reading about her I found myself liking her. I think you guys have identified what it is that bothers me.

Hi everyone! First time poster here and I agree with you, Sunshyne4u and Kminfinity. I like Jen and I think a lot of what appears as Jen's shallow self-absorption is partly walled-off aloofness she developed as a young run-away. She's probably been thru a lot already and she's still young. At the very least she has been entertaining on the show, lol!

I think Jen's nominations of Dani and Dick were part strategy and part emotion. She is insanely jealous of Daniele (especially because Nick spends all his time with Dani and not Jen). It's also good strategy because adding Dick to the mix ensures that he's not a vote to keep his daughter. But I think the strategy was purely incidental. She thought (emotionally) of Dani first, and THEN thought of the strategic benefits.

Her nomination of Joe just confuses me. I'm not caught up so I have no idea why she nominated him. Not that I mind, and I hope to all that is sunny that he goes!

As to her reaction when she get out of the house... she is NOT going to react to how she's been portrayed. She'll chalk that up to the editing. She WILL react to all of the really bad screen caps of her, as well as all the really bad footage of her. THAT, I think, is all that will bother her.

And honestly, if she's so frickin' worried about how she looks, what the heck is she doing on a show where there are cameras 24/7? Does she think they'll turn the cams off when she looks like hell? I think the camera folks will do the zoom in thing, instead!

(welcome cvenus- dont be shy)

and some people dont like to talk about their problems in life.... (not amber!) I felt so bad for Jen about her mom though. A parent with addiction problems usually means a hellish childhood.

I think that Jen is jealous of Daniele as well. Amber makes me crazy because she goes on and an on. I like Daniel as well as her Dad.

Jen's hysterical crying over her "bad picture" just didn't ring true for me. It reminded me of one of my kids' crying so I'd cave in to their wants. When she was crying in the DR, I expected the tears to dry up as she leered crazily into the camera, ala Dr. W, and say "they bought it...they think I'm clueless/dumb/shallow!"
I noticed on Sunday's show that she was talking strategy to someone (maybe Kail?) and she didn't use the word "like" nearly as often as when she's in the group.
Things that make me go hmmmmm...maybe she's playing the "dumb" card so as not to seem so threatening.

I think Jen acts differently in a group than in a one-on-one situation.

And I might've thought the hysterics over the pic on the wall was a one-off until she pulled the pic of her and her mom off the HOH room wall.

That's not playing dumb. That's acting narcissistic.

just a thought.
if, indeed, jen was coached by chilltown, then wouldn't it have been part of their strategy to have her in a showmance. and since nick was obviously on her radar, this situation with danielle has certainly put a wrench in the works. no wonder she keeps on keeping on working on the boy.

And taking down the Mom picture was so blatantly absurd that it had to be Chilltown all the way. Go Jen!!! Model yourself after Boogie. He won the million last year, which proves he is the best.

bicbicz911 said '''When Jen smiled awkwardly after ED verbally attacked her, it appeared to me that she was uncomfortable about being berated in front of the camera. She glanced up at the camera and sort of said "Hi" with a little wave. In my opinion, she's all about her image, and was a bit embarrassed.

I dislike her. She comes off as very shallow, conceited, jealous and petty. Her nominations weren't "good game play", they were completely personal. '''

I agree with this, I also can't help but think her story about her past is made up. She doesn't seem the type to share that much personal info about herself. Maybe hoping for some sympathy votes later on? Or try to 'bond' with others? If i'm wrong i'm wrong but JMO.

i think jen's backstory is all fake. she is trying to get allies. don't forget, she is under the guidance of the evil doctor.

All right, for those of us who could not keep up yesterday, what was Jen's story?

Or could you point to a time of day or something so we can check it out on the live feeds?

The only thing I heard Jen talk about yesterday was how she got to be Vanna White's kids' nanny.

Read the live feeds around 4am on July 16. That's when Jen and Amber are talking.

It was a source of embarrassment and stories she didnt want to tell to all the HGs. after hearing what she had to say I wonder why BB felt they had to put that pic up in the room.

talk about 'Salt in a wound'.

oh come on now....

Big Brother has never put hurtful pictures in the HOH before. All the pictures were of people who were important in the HOH's life outside the house. I'm assuming the HG's answer some kind of questionaire about people in their lives so that the basket/pictures etc are special for them.

So now we are supposed to believe that BB changed that just to hurt Jen?

Why is it so much easier to believe that the production crew at BB would purposely try to hurt a Jen then it is to beleive that Jen is making up stories to cover her butt when questioned about her inappropriate behavior?

Sorry...I'm going with what makes sense.

Jen is the one with the a-JEN-da....not BB.

you would think that bb choosing pics of her family would actually make her more "accessible" to the viewing public. fuzzy wuzzy stuff.
that it backfired is obvious
