The thing about this house is that we see it all (well, most of it) from the outside but the houseguests themselves see it from the inside, in a very isolated way.

It's quite easy to sit here and say Jen provoked Dick because we see the deliberateness with which she went about her activities. But we can also sit here and say that she was just getting back at him for the abuse he has heaped on her in the past. Both points of view have been argued here tonight.

As for the other houseguests, from within the house they saw a woman get nominated and then cause all kinds of trouble. They don't see the constant put downs, the verbal attacks on her, at least not the constant nature of it. Her "I want to leave because I'm losing money being here" doesn't really match her whole "I'm just here for the experience" mantra, at least from their perspective. We can see why the experience would be pretty sucky, but they can't, because none of them consider this fun so they don't see why you would do this for any reason other than money.

As for the lack of compassion, these people have no idea who is truly upset and who is not. Emotions are something to be used against you in this house. Look at how Dani has tried to use her difficulties with her father to excuse her own actions. You can't afford to be too compassionate because it can be used against you. Dani showed compassion to Eric when he gave her that whole sob story and he took advantage of it to get himself back in the game.

Finally, the very fact that there is not universal agreement on this board about the source of the problems tonight or the severity of the actions by all parties, should remind us that we need to be careful about judging the houseguests about their own reactions. Everything we saw tonight was based on human responses to aggression, the game and the situation. No one is a horrible person for what they did or didn't do, they are all just people trying to figure it out from inside the game like we try to do from outside of it.

VilH,

Jen started it all! She took her things ... put them in bags ... expecting retribution for what she was about to .... then went and took his cigs into the storage room and destroyed them.

So Eric and Dick's plot to keep using Jen in the game comes to an end this week? I doubt it.

My nephew's school teaches them a song called "The Skunk Song" to sing in front of people who smoke. My brother re-thought this method against smoking when his son started singing it in front of megabuck Japanese client who smokes.

Kale,
then you and I aren't watching the same clip at all. It was while he whimps "Don't touch me", watch what his leg is doing...

just look at his leg... while he saying that. (so if he's saying that it means that he put up his leg afterwards so that she didn't have anywhere to turn..)

Thanks, Ndmom. I thought I saw Jameka sitting at the BD party arms crossed stony faced. I guess today when Jen ate and wasn't supposed to Jameka just cracked. No one should eat around Jameka I guess. LOL

Zach--Jameka already sold herself out...

Dick: What do you mean?

Zach: I mean with not being able to compete for HOHs

Zach no you don't mean that at all!!


ETA Dick wants Jen to go home this week.

Dont forget.. not just about not liking smoke,, Dick walked right up to her and blew smoke in her face.. I am a smoker, but if he did that to me I would of had the same reaction , knocked that damn cigg. outa of his hand, she is a better person than me, I would of shoved the damn thing down his throat.. while it was still lit!

Only i would agree with you if Jen had done this 2 weeks ago in the middle of all oF Dicks rants.

But the premeditation with which she went about it tonight makes a big difference.

Dick doesn't want Jen to have the possibilty to win anything. Zach just thinks that Jen doesn't care about the money.

Spunky, his leg is up to keep her from leaning over and grabbing the cigarette that is in his hand on the other side. If she wanted to get away she just needed to go to the right instead of to the left through Dick.

Onlyhuman,

Wonderful point of view .... thank you for reminding us. They are all good people playing a game. We are all good people watching them. No one is right or wrong. No one is good or bad inside or outside of the house.

For her own peace of mind she should just leave, dump them, the heck with them. It's not worth it, it's not the fun experience she was looking for, she doesn't need the money, then get the heck out of there, why put up with it.

Slamming Jameka's choices in the game. she'll regret these choices the rest of her life Dick says. Jeez who cares. Half a million dollars is not even that much money these days--maybe buy a nice house and good car that's it.

Karma biting people in the ass, Zach says.

I suspect she's there because CBS wants her there and is using it's influence to keep her there. If they didn't have power over her, she'd be gone.

Spunky here it is at the very beginning. No leg blocking her from removing herself from the couch area.
She continued going after his hand. period. If he put his leg up later when she was slapping at him (which you can see in the BBAD) it was to keep her from hitting his hand/grabbing cigarette.

No one is right or wrong.

Scubalass, exactly right!

Except for me. My opinion is always right.

I don't think Jen is a quitter Spunky, otherwise she would have given up long ago.
I don't believe in karma but if I did I wouldn't want to be ED.

I think Jen didnt do it two weeks ago because was still in the game. Now she knows there is a good chance she is leaving so has nuthing to lose, so she is getting all her past" Dick" frustrations out now.
