Has not Jen told us that she was coached by Will and Boogie of Chill Town fame? That she spent a month with them on some deserted island or something right before she came into the house? And do we all remember what the outward attitude of Chilltown was in All-Stars and Will's outward attitude in his season (Season 2 was it?)? It seems to me their modus operandi was to act as if they really don't care what everyone says about them or if they win; they are in the house for fun and enjoyment. And if they get sent home? Well, so be it. Their lives would go on. Isn't this the same attitude Jen is expressing? She is just there because it's an adventure; something to do? She really doesn't care all that much other than a desire to enjoy the experience? It seems to me that if she was coached by CT, she is following the script well. It may take her as far as it took Will one year and Boogie another.

You know, I don't like Jen. I think she isn't too bright and is shallow and self absorbed. Heck, TPTB have shown us all sorts of evidence of her personality flaws, so I don't think I'm violating any TVCH rules by posting the above comments. However, I will say one thing...I love that she's a nerd who plays World of Warcraft! That alone may make me think a little better of her. It seems so out of character for her, and I hope that means there really is more to her than seen on tv so far. She clearly has created a much needed stir with her stint as HOH. As much as I didn't like her and wanted her gone ASAP...I actually hope she sticks around longer than many of the other HGs at this point...and I feel a little ashamed for feeling that way.

She doesn't have the brains or charisma of Doc Will to continue this facade.

shallow and self absorbed and that is what we all said of Dr Will Season 2 and many of us said Season 7. isn't too bright isnt that what Boog played both times? the constant referals to Lonnie and ?? lead others to believe Boog was a bit of a lackey while the others were the "brains" of the business. Jen is playing a CT game. I dont like how Eric thinks he is in with the Cool Crowd because they talk. I agree with the concept that she may not be able to pull it off for the whole game. But, her ability not to get flustered and angry will keep her in the game while others who cause a fuss will go.

I think she just truly doesn't give a damn what anyone else thinks (except about how she looks). It's one way to make your way through life, I guess. You certainly don't have to worry about getting hurt. She'll get nominated and possibly evicted next week, and it won't break her stride a bit. I have to say, if she can make that red suit look good, and she does, she might actually have a career with legs in modelling.

I like her. She's 23 years old and has a self-assurance beyond her years. I admire that a lot. If I had been in that house and Dick had come after me that way, I would have fallen to pieces. I love that she held her own.

I think people forget her age. She's 23. Why on earth were two men in the mid to late 30s coaching a 23 year old woman for? Sad. Jen's displayed a higher level of maturity in the past 48 hours or so than they ever did. I actually agree that she is shallow but she was talking to Amber and says she has had to few life experiences that she finds it hard to relate. Her own mom tells her that her demeanour and approach seems harsh and callous to others. She seems to be really lacking in life and people skills. Yes, she does come off as shallow and narcissistic. I think more than just a handful of us were a little self absorbed at 23. People grow once they part from their sheltered lives.... Just saying.

And I really don't think she'll be nominated next week unless Dani gets HOH. I think the others are focused on breaking up alliances and they see her as a loner who could go anytime (sound familiar?)

I view Jen's game as a pure Will game. She was the lone vote for Amber last week. Didn't Will also always try to cast his vote the opposite of what the majority was voting? I'm hoping that the superficial part of her is also an act because it's classic Will. The problem is her personality is more Boog and Boog had Will to smooth things out for him. Jen doesn't have a charismatic partner in the house so she's playing a Will game with a Boog personality and we all know Boog wouldn't have lasted last year without Will.

I'm not a Jen fan, but she does crack me up. Half the time I think it is an act, half the time I do think she is actually oblivious. Guess we won't know for sure until she is sitting with Julie (if even then). As for the Amber vote, she "cleared" it with Kail. Dr. Will would NEVER have cleared anything with anyone

I like Jen too. I like how she went straight for the jugular by nominating Dick/Daniele and how she doesn’t care about the consequences. If it were anyone else who won week 2 HoH we would have seen another boring week of safe "don't rock the boat" nominations. At this point I don't care if she's a Chill Town ringer or not. I just love the fact that she's playing the game and enjoying her stay in the house. If anything she brings entertainment value and something to talk about factor to the game.

hmmm. i agree that jen seems/is very detatched. but it also appears to me that it is an inherant quality...almost asocial. there is a blankness to her eyes that i can't quite figure out. and i don't think that lack of feeling in the eyes is something someone can learn for a game. jmo

It seems to me that Jen understands she's there to play a game not to make friends. When she speaks about the children for whom she's a nanny, it's with affection and concern, so I believe she is quite capable of feeling. Knowing that her hobby is online gaming, she has experience playing roles, which may be an advantage to her in the house.

I think Jen is playing a role while she's in the house. Will was all about hgs playing their role. I think if she's is a CT ringer than I'm sure that was the first thing they taught her. Disconnect personal feelings so you won't take the game or other hgs actions personally. The way we see Jen inside the house is probably not the same person we would see outside the house. It has been confirmed by several people that Will is completely opposite than the evil Dr. will character we saw on BB2 and All-Stars. If Will and Mike prepared Jen for BB than I would assume we're not seeing the real Jen in the same light as her family and friends would see her in her everyday life.

I like Jen too, and I think she's playing a good game so far. I don't know how much of her personality is an act and how much is real. Her reaction to the pictures (one of her on the memory wall, and the ones in the HOH) makes me think she's very insecure; and you're right, she's only 23, so a lot of it is inexperience possibly.

I LOL'd last night when Amber told Daniele how smart Jen was and Daniele didn't want to believe it. She reluctantly told Dick they now have to target Jen because she is smart. Well, if Jen was so smart, Dick would be going home this week and that would weaken Daniele.

The whole house is not smart if they leave Dick in the game. I don't understand why the father/daughter connection/alliance doesn't have everyone alarmed.

Don't like Jen, But after watching her and Dick talk the other day I do feel a bit differently about her. I don't think she is stupid by any means. She lacks social skills and in a pretty woman that comes off as <42> rather than awkward. She kept telling Dick she wasn't the same outside the game and that she didn't have a lot of friends. That I can believe. She is a self admitted computer nerd who plays online games. As for Amber thinking Jen is super smart.... Well come on it's amber <42>

I did notice that after Dick yelled at her and left the room that she smiled. It was as if she'd accomplished something. Of course, she might have been smiling because she was thinking of the revenge she'd enact when she nom'd him. She's a puzzle.

I wasn't sure what I'd find in this thread when I first read it, but she's a computer nerd? Who plays online games all day? And looks like that in a red catsuit? GO JEN GO!!! ;) Seriously, I can't tell whether she is one of the best players ever or just clueless, or if she's the best player due to accidental fortune, or what. I tend to really like her but I'm not sure why-- I like how she's able to be right in the middle of everything but not too many people think much of her... it seems like she's either going to be gone very soon, or make it very, very close to the end. (it doesn't help that Jen's voice sounds exactly like a close friend of mine's, who I had a pretty big crush on for a looong time. Of course, I have learned in past seasons of BB that liking people who remind you of people in your real life [in absence of other reasons to like or dislike them] tends to backfire.. ;) )

I wonder if she'll have to share her banana bread with Chill Town if she wins.

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 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 on the live feeds and Shotoo. I kind of pity her, because when she gets out of the house and sees the show, she is going to want to crawl under a rock and stay. If she has a breakdown about a bad publicity photo, I can't imagine the ramifications of her seeing the Jen Drinking Game.

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?
