I wish there was a way Jen could stay this week. Not because I love Jen but I am entirely done with Jameka. It is obvious she doesn't want to do anything to shame herself because of her job as school counselor and that severely hampers her game. When she is having conversations you can see the wheels turning but all that comes out is mmm hmmm. She is just too self consious for this game. At least Jen would be interesting to watch after the incident.

Did anyone notice last night when they were in the hot tub and Eric said what he was going to say when Julie asked him about who he was voting for. He said that he would tell her that he didnt even have to do any campaigning this week because Jen dug her own hole.

I think the point was, nobody EVER talks to Julie about who they are voting for. He may have let it slip that instead of voting in there he is really having just a quick chat with Julie?

It would be great humor on BB's part if they made an annoucement that because Jen swam the 444 laps in the pool, there will be no eviction this week but a double eviction this coming week. Everyone is elgible to play. Would that freak some people out ? Never happen, Jen is going home but would be fun to see them rattled.

Kiari, that is a good point. I think that was a slip. Julie does not talk to people about their votes. In the DR it is PA's that ask the questions and he only campaigns to complete a task for AP money. He did slip.

Fran...on that gameshow, the players have a "helper" who can advise them. Amber's cousin was her helper. Don't know if Daniele had one. I've never watched that show, so I wonder if you get to have a helper all along or only if you make it so far in the game. Perhaps that could tell us who made it the furthest between Daniele and Amber if someone here knows how that game works.

Why would anyone get something special for swimming 444 laps in the pool? That would be like getting something special for making banana bread. lol

Doublethink - "Mess - My impression of Jen's character is that she wouldn't want to tell Daniele about the comments as it would be unnecessarily cruel. Besides, what's the saying about the bearer of bad tidings."

No. No. Double...I don't think Jen should tell either Dick or Dani about what Eric said. What I think she should have done was "imply" to *Eric* that she was going to do that. I think Eric would become so darned paranoid she could or would do that his squirming to keep Jen silent would be hilarious to behold and in order to keep her happy he could work on the others to keep her in the house.

But, I agree. Dick/Dani learning about this is best kept for after the season ends. But there is no way it won't come out then since it is all over the Internet.

Anyone knows how Dick found out that the deal with Amber excluded him??

Daniele told her father that in order to backdoor Jen she would make a deal with Amber. But she never told him what kind of deal. He assumed it included him. So he agreed.
Then last night he went ballistic because he was not included. Someone must have told him.

If Amber got to talk to her cousin, she probably was the one who made it to the Po10 maingame.

(they have a person you know give advice to you from the first money question on in the audience-they're miked- the studio audience also have keypads to punch in what they think is the correct percentage, and they show that as a graph)

For those who haven't seen the show, here's how it works:

They start with a quick elimination game. A national survey had been taken of many different topics (example from last nights show: "Should President Bush have pardoned Scooter Libby?"). They have 10 seconds to lock in a percentage (they have a dial on their podiums to set their numbers-they can't see each others answers). The one closest to the correct answer wins a point- 3 and you go to the maingame.

In the maingame, you have to answer further surveys. This time, you're given a range, and the right answer has to be in that range to continue. You can stop at anytime so long as you haven't locked in your range (by pulling a handle on the podium).

1st question: 40% range $1,000
2nd question: 30% range $10,000
3rd question: 20% range $100,000
4th question: 10% range $1 million

(missing the first question means to leave with nothing, any miss after the first means you lose the last zero you earned- $10,000 becomes $1,000 for example).

They show the correct answers for every question except the 4th one, because if you win the million, you can elect to go for $10 million. To win, you have to give the EXACT percentage of that question. (1 in 11 chance). A miss means you leave with $100,000.

I just watched The Power of 10 last evening--the helper is introduced after the two players battle thru the best 3 out of 5 to get to the money portion. I didn't pay attention to see if the helpers were "on stage" with the two players were doing the first segment or not--

How Power of 10 is played:

2 people compete against each other to see who is better at guessing how america would vote to a question.

After 1 contestant gets 3 correct they move on to actually play the power of 10

The contestant does have 1 support person who they can ask assistance from. This person is there for the duration of play.

Question 1 is for 100 dollars-need to come within 20% of the answer. For example how many americans wear RED underwear. If you guessed 50% you would continue to the next question as long as the answer fell between 50% plus or minus 20%

It continues on like this until you win 10 million , quit and keep your winnings, or guess wrong and lose.

It is pretty fun to watch but they drag it out SO DANG LONG that it takes like 10 minutes per question.

Kiara that is incorrect.
Question 1 = $1000 you have a 40 point range
Question 2 = $10,000 you have a 30 point range
Question 3 = $100,000 you have a 20 point range
Question 4 = $1 million you have a 10 point range
Question 5 = $10 million you have to guess the exact percentage within that 10 point range.

If you are wrong you lose by the power of 10, if you lose the $10,000 question you walk out with $1,000. If you quit you walk out with what you have accumulated.
