Jessica should not be blamed for this seasons problems, the producers are to be blamed for the behavior in the house ,the behavior of everyone. Precedents were set early on and bad behavior has been not only tolerated but rewarded and in some cases encouraged. Producers have been involved with game play decisions and yet they have NEVER stepped in when someone’s behavior has been too much.

if i have to lose jen then i really do hope jess and eric make it to the final four with d & d. i so want to hear jess get a little taste of what jen has put up with. there is just something about her that has bugged me from day one. and the way she has skated through this game makes it all the more annoying.

Ambi, that is exactly why I have not liked Jessica since the start of the show. Her and the other sitting back and letting Dick bash Jen, and then putting their own comments in in private, have just made me not like her even more.

Jessica was the one HG I thought I would dislike the most this season.... ...she's not. In fact she's turned in to a favorite... I don't think Jessica has a duty or obligation to defend anyone in that house. She is there to play the game for Jessica...as all the others should be too. Jen would not defend ANYONE at anytime... she is a loner and prefers to be that way...her only concern is herself.... Why does Jessica...or ANYONE in that house have an obligation to Jen??? I don't get that at all...

I don't agree that Jen's only concern is for herself - she asked Jess how Jameka was doing being nominated. It was on the show last night, and I also read somewhere else that Jameka and Jess bashed her for it - apparently asking how someone is doing is offensive to them in some way. It's not a matter of anyone having an obligation to Jen specifically - it is basic human decency, which has been in extremely short supply in the BB house this season. Jameka at least brought Jen an tissue on Monday when she crying. Other than that, they have all failed basic Human Empathy 101 in their treatment of Jen, and that is why I don't like any of them, including Jessica.

Another thing - I think it's unfair to characterize Jen as so selfish, when it has been shown that she has cooked for the other HGs a number of times (banana bread, among other things), even times when she was on slop and couldn't eat what she was cooking. I think Jen has some eccentricities to her personality, but I think she's probably a very empathetic person IRL. I think that's what makes her probably a very good nanny.

Just because Jess doesn't stand up for Jen, doesn't mean she enjoys watching Dick's antics towards Jen. She just doesn't want to get caught in the crossfire, I wouldn't either! Jessica is my favorite, and I didn't think I would like her in the beginning either. She seems to be one of the most stable people in the house.

I haven't seen any empathy from Jen. I did see her wondering about her belt and how she looked when Jameka was so upset over giving up 5 HOH's... I did see her take her own mother's picture down without a second thought because she didn't like her own pic...Jen had no empathy for her mom there... I saw her smirking when Dani was gagging on slop during the first week...saying she's never been on it so she couldn't feel sorry for anyone who was...shrugging and saying "oh well"... Nope... no empathy at all. I don't think the other HG's have seen any either...and don't feel compelled to come to her aid... I do not blame Jessica or any of them for that...

I don't dislike Jess. Heck it took me almost 3 weeks to find her. I was just about to give up on whether there was even a Jess in the house, since I barely saw her in on the feeds in the beginning. I'm not about to fault her for not fighting someone else's fight. Dick and Jen are both old enough to decide if they want to fight and argue with each other.

Jess told Jameka that she should punch Jen in the mouth if Jen talked to her.

You know, sometimes people say things they don't mean, when they are just venting. I like Jess, but I do think she has a tendency to be a little mean. At the same time, she is not always mean and cruel and can have a lot of fun. I think at this moment she is confused between "Game" and "Personal" which is only natural in a "Personal Game". She is struggling between feeling sorry for Jen and being unable to completely see her point of view, especially since part of that view attacks Jessica's game.

I agree with you Kep 100%!! I thought I would hate Jess...but she has turned out to be the only person I don't fast forward through when I watch the Showtime show! She is always silly and fun...which are 2 of my favorite characteristics in a person! Why people think she should be some kind of good samaritan is beyond me! THIS IS A GAME FOLKS! If the heat is directed at someone else....you let it burn, or it could be you going home instead! I didn't see anyone running to stand up for Jameka or Eric when it was directed at them either. Why is this time different? GO JESS!!

Robin for many of us it is NOT that Jess should have jumped up and defended Jen. It is that she should not have joined in in the Jen attacks. Only my opinion though.

Wow, I didn't hear about Jess telling everyone that if Jen talks to any of them to punch her in the mouth. I am surprised at that, but I guess I shouldn't be really, awww my perception of her has really gone down now. I have the feeds, but I rarely listen to them, I prefer to watch the show, and just read what you guys post, I find it so much more intersting. The only reason I even have the feeds is because I have RPP all year round so it comes with it during this time of the year, guess its part of the perks. Anyway, Jess is starting to show some truer colors finally, too bad though cause Jen hasn't done a thing to most of these people, she doesn't warrant any flack or back talk from her or any of them.

Kiersten, I don't think that's exactly what was said or the context in which it was said. I reserve my opinions until I see the actual video for myself, and so far I haven't seen much negativity toward anyone from Jess. But, we all have our moments, and so does she. She's still my fave.
