She fought for Veto so she wouldn't have to go to sequester, yes.

Jameka's sulking is killing me. Say something or snap out of it.

I agree Kale. Its like she doesn't understand that everyone in the house has important things to do outside the house. I just don't get it.

Taximomg... I did some search on other sites and it was announced that CBS told her if she doesn't go to the Jury House it will be a breach of contract. It may be so, but they should not have forced her to go with a fear tactic (just like Dick) by telling her she would see her career destroyed with such a record. Baloney!!! Naturally Jen cares about her career and decided to go to Jury.

Spunky, we all know that the producers (it's not really CBS, it's Grodner Productions) manipulates this show like crazy. They always have. And it's not in their best interest to have anyone walk out the door. So whenever anyone has seriously threatened to DOR, they've talked them out of it. Jen is no exception. And it's not blackmail when it's true. If someone DORs, they don't get paid. They've broken the contract. They may not get sued, but they won't get paid. And it's possible that they would get a bad rep in the industry for not following through on what they agreed to do. No one wants to hire a diva unless and until they've proven to have boxoffice pull. But the reality is that just being on BB in the first place isn't exactly a good career move in many Hollywood circles, so it's all relative. The producers are fighting to keep their show interesting and keep viewers watching. That's their job. Whether we agree with how they do that isn't really at issue -- after all, we're still watching,

3. When BB told her she could destroy cigarettes and then said she couldn't?? HUH? IMO, I don't think that is it. I know that is what she is saying, but she finally did something to get back at Dick and BB cleaned up the mess and gave them back to Dick making her look stupid and giving Dick more reason to gloat and be in her face. I believe her when she says she asked first and they said it was okay. I don't think she would have done it otherwise. JMO.

What a roller coaster. Jen is just being so clueless--the reason why I have been supporting her is not the reason she is giving at all. I still don't condone how she has been treated by Dick and others, but she is not even mentioning that! Cigarettes and no time in sequester--that's all that's up there as far as any one can tell. I feel more sorry for her than angry--she may actually have something loose in the head.

Amber is really trying with her and I hope she gets lots more support.

IMHO: each HG probably has their own info told to them re: game.... why, IF all the HGs say they have watched the show, is it so hard to believe that she was reached thru talent agency like: Jame, janie, Will... and so on....? She (Jen) is holding up better IMHO than any other HGs would in the same situation.... Trooper! She feels justified with her side and feels lied to.... I know lots of people who would love to be on the show, just a common folk, BUT, they have to recruit every year... That's why I really enjoyed BB1.... nobody's just Real folk!

Well, I admire her for caring so much about her career, even with scare tactics like those. I would simply have pressed the panic button and get the heck ouf that hell hole.

Spunky - Yes, there sure is a panic button! It's been mentioned many many times through the years. You know what the problem is w/many of these people? They have SAG cards and if they bailed on this show it would be difficult to get work after. They need to stop this casting of people who are "somewhat" in the industry.

We keep forgetting that Jen is in her early 20s too. I'm just glad that at least tonight she has someone to talk to for at least a bit who isn't chewing her neck off.

I personally find it fishy that when Jen talks about asking BB first if she could do that to anybody's cigs that we don't get vortex.........

Jen is right when she just told Amber that when she's gone, that Amber will be next with Dick.

"She fought for Veto so she wouldn't have to go to sequester, yes." Huh? SHe fought to make it as far as she can in the game and now that it looks like she wont be F2 she has turned into a bad sport . I am sorry as she was my pick to win until she lost game.

Nyheat, I really don't think Jen is good at communicating her feelings and that is why she some times seems so cold. I believe actions speak louder than words and she really just wanted to be accepted by this group. She has cooked for them when she is on slop, cleans, and tries to participate as much as possible. The more she tries, the more they dislike her, IMO. It's rather sad.

Klaw I so agree with you. Nobody bothered to talk with her and really get to know a bit of her, except for Kail. They don't understand her because they didn't take the time. She always tried to interject herself but they would just slough her off.

I still think it's strange she hasn't broken. I have a daughter her age and if she had those things yelled at her even once, she may have yelled back and then gone and cried in another room.

BB didn't do anything when she destroyed 3 packs, so I can see why she thought it would be okay to destroy more. Really, I am not sure BB can say much about the cigarettes when they not only allowed Eric to put mustard on her clothes, but asked him to...lol. Apparently her penalty is coming from eating anyway. JMO.

So, what is so wrong wanting to be on BB just for the experience and not for money? Where is this outrage for such a wish?? She was recruited by the producers to be on that show and she accepted not for the money factor but for the experience. So, where is the bad in this? Daniele, making this a point for her nomination (to give the money to someone else who needs it), was catty to say the least.

I'm certainly not an Amber fan, but I do admire how she is trying to reach out to Jen and trying to understand and be understood. I don't know if she'd be able to do that if she'd been there through the entire incident, but it's nice to see it now. It was also nice to see Jessica trying to reason with Jen. Unfortunately, as I said earlier, I don't think they have a prayer of really breaking through and getting Jen to understand the depth and breadth of what she did and how it affects everyone else in the game. But it's a good thing to do. After all, they do have to live together for a couple more days. For all Jen's "If they don't do this, then I'm not going to sequester" talk, I bet she goes and gets no concessions. She talks tough all the time, but I don't think that, deep down, she really IS all that tough. I think she's trying to convince herself her life is wonderful more than convince other people. Of course, I could be wrong.

I know Klaw, but she is screwed if she's going though life with this malfunctioning set of social skills. It sounds really shallow and I wish she could hear how she sounds to other people.

I know, Watching. Not that I agree with destroying Dick's smokes, but as it was happening I thought, finally...she is fighting back!!! Does that make sense?
