I am still ROFLMAOOOOOOOOO @ this whole thing. The fact that Jam went there and Amber in her normal "amber is so wonderful self" has embraced it full heartedly. How could she be a model when she keeps crying all her makeup off? The girl is not ugly per se... but, she darn sure is not Heidi Klum material. I have seen her naked now, unfortunately, and having ONE kid was def not kind to her.

I thought this was a strange topic. I don't think Jameka has a motive, I think she's just being kind. Sort of how your "friend" asks you if her butt looks big in those jeans and you say "No, you look great!" (except I always tell them when their butt looks big but that's another thread for another day). I think Jameka is doing what anyone else would be doing when someone (Amber) is fishing for compliments, she's mmmmm hmmm-ing her.

Amber doesn't even fish for them anymore... she just compliments herself over and over... "I can't help it everyone loves me."

What I find more deluded than even the modeling is her self perception that she is an 'upbeat' person I've never seen someone who seems so ostensibly depressed on one hand (crying at absolutely everything) and yet has a self esteem that appears off the charts. This girl is an enigma.

Enigma might not be the right term for that kind of behavior. Perhaps a behaviorist can give us the clinical term.

Well of course she can be top model. She's smaller than she looks, she's got a great personality she got a great face and damn it she's got god on her side....just saying. Maybe Jm thinks for some reason that Amber is America's sweetheart and thinks that would be enough for her to get magazine covers. These people are silly. What a rude awkening for all of them when they get back into the real world.

My thoughts exactly Sharinia! I almost spit out my pop when she said 'upbeat person'. Does she have a split personality we don't know about? As far as the whole model thing, if Jameka is blowing smoke to boost her confidence, while the intentions may be good, the repercussions could be disastrous. Of course with Amber's delusions, she might never realize how much people dislike her.

Tobor of course you're right - my guess is "piece of work"

In the defense of the HG (oh my gosh, I cannot believe I'm about to defend Amber here)... They don't really know how they're "perceived" on TV. I know the producers can only produce what the HG put out there but Lilfair is right, for all they know, Amber is America's Sweetheart. She doesn't know the producers seem to be having a ball making fun of her on national televison. Personally, I think Jam is doing the right thing. And Amber is still crazy.

I think that Amber will probably cry when she finds out America does not like her that much. I think that Dani and Jessica have a better shot of being the next top model

I just know that I cringe every time Amber talks about being a model. I find myself feeling embarrassed for her.

lol Dfennessey - Cry? Cry? That will be the LEAST of her reactions! Remember when they went to the PO10 & Amber talked to the make up artist about how she just KNOWS America loves her. lol I'm with Judyinaustin-I feel embarassed for her and a little sad. I think her inflated self esteem is a defense mechanism for how she truly feels about herself. Sort of like if you say it enough, it'll be true. Prep the shrinks, BB, you're going to need them for when Amber leaves! I'm actually nervous about this Thurs when (if?) Amber gets evicted. I don't know how they're going to do that live-Julie Chen won't be able to get a word in edgewise between Amber's sobbing & break downs.

What is Jameka supposed to do? Tell her she is having unattainable daydreams? She knows Amber is fragile emotionally. So what good would it do to tear down those dreams in this situation? Jameka probably thinks it would be like kicking a puppy. And think about it, Jameka is Amber's friend in the house, not her counselor. They have not been friends all that long. I am sure she does not feel comfrontable enough yet to be so blunt with her. So why is it her responsibility to tell Amber she is not going to succeed at these things? And how many of you really believe that Jameka encouraging Amber in her unrealistic dreams is going to have any lasting effect on Amber? Jameka is a casual friend that she just met. She will have little impact on Amber and her life once she gets out of the house. I think some of us are laying too heavy a burden of responsibility on Jameka.

No, I don't think she can. If she had a winning personality and mad talent it might overcome her average looks ala Sarah Jessica Parker. But as far as I've seen she has neither of those attributes. And basically, from a personal point of view, whatever it is she's supposed to be selling I'd be sure not to buy just because she's attached to it.

Amber does not have an inflated self esteem. She has no self esteem. People with self esteem do not have to build themselves up. Amber has a gigantic inferiority complex. People like her often have unrealistic daydreams. They know the truth deep down, but daydreams give them hope. Hopefully, Amber will realize that she does not have to be a top model or a motivational speaker to be successful and happy. She will set her sights on something a little more realistic. She has her family and a guy to support her.

Jameka is a school counselor, I'm sure she's had some training to deal with different behavior disorders, psychological problems, etc. I think she's just trying to placate Amber so she doesn't go completely over the edge.

Hey, I'm sure she could be completely airbrushed on the cover of a magazine! I thought on the preview for "The power of 10" she looked really nice. Finally someone put some eyeliner on the BOTTOM of her eye. But model? Nope, can't see that happening. I do think she has great hair (for the 1990's). Maybe she could be in a shampoo ad.

LOL I was so laughing out loud when they did that. Poor Amber, she is going to be so disappointed to be back in the Real World. They all get a little fantasy going the longer they are in there.

Kind of reminds me of Cowboy and his delusions of sitcom fame. I actually felt sorry for that dude. There are times at which I feel sorry for Amber, but it rarely takes me long to get over it.
