So Jen is going to the jury house. She said she'd only go if BB agreed to her terms. She wanted to talk to her agent and family members etc.

You could tell Jen obviously knew about her part in the HOH before hand by her reaction to Julie. Did Allison give her more face time to save Allison's reputation and job? I wonder what other demands she gave in to.

I can't believe Allison is happy that a HG was able to walk all over her like that. I'm wondering if there will be a backlash to Jen. It's very easy to spread rumors about being difficult to work with or to blacklist someone in Hollywood. Allison's own "backdooring" so to speak.

Just wondering...

Hopefully exactly what Jen's contract read. She agreed to go the distance. Using the excuse I have more important things to do with my time is baseless since she would have been more than happy to stay in the house. She is acting like a brat and I wouldn't give her anything and tell her you go or you don't get paid. Who does she think she is blackmailing the hand that's feeding her? She may have been asked to be on the show but she agreed to the terms.

SCARE TACTICS!

'YOUR CAREER WILL BE RUINED'

That did it for Jen.

Wouldn't there be some legal rights on BBs part? Wouldn't they threaten a lawsuit? That certainly would get Jen to the jury house.

She probably had a lawyer remind her of the contract she signed. If she didn't go to jury, she would be in breech of contract and could be sued for a load of money.

I think Jen traded for the 5 minutes of TV time last night. <77>

Right on, toolhound. And she made sure she looked great too. I think she also realised that she would also get more TV time in sequester and probably loves the idea of working the jury to get her revenge

I didn't think Jen looked that great. I thought her outfit was tacky for someone who knew she was going to be on national television...short shorts and a boob tube? She is a beautiful girl with an undoubtedly beautiful body, but I was disappointed in her clothing choice last night. I would have preferred to see her in something a little classier.

She kinda got her clothes back last minute. Perhaps she did not have the time necessary to wash or iron what she needed? They made fun of Carol cause she was too dressed up. And from what I heard she did have another dress picked out but the HGs thought it was ugly. So who knows? I think she looked fine though.

i just wish they could remember the old rule not to tug at and pull things up and down. that was so no no when i was growing up.

ETA actually that is how a lot of people dress good body or not lol

Considering Kail left in a Bunny Suit, I think Jen looked HAWT!!!!!

By her interviews so far...she just proved I've been right. She's a very smart girl and has the most dignity and class out of any of the houseguests that are left.

She was successful before she went in that house and will still be out of that house.

Jealousy is always unbecoming and the remaining houseguest prove that every time they say her name.

I think Jen's problem in the game was that she had no idea what she was getting into and she was smart enough to be able to read the rules and the contract. It was a TV gig for her, not a game.

It's always been my understanding that a HG can leave at any time but will forfeit the stipend by doing so. So I don't think she is obligated to go to the jury house at all, but I think she will go reluctantly. I'm sure they said she's still part of the game and can help determine the winner. And they probably strong-armed her, too. If they are willing to call Jen a bad name to another HG in the DR, it shows they have no scruples at all.

"You could tell Jen obviously knew about her part in the HOH before hand by her reaction to Julie.

It's possible that in those few moments after Julie asks the evicted houseguest to sit down and the lights dark if they aren't briefed on a few quick highlights of what to expect in the next few minutes? They have that time to quickly stage them on the couch for correct camera angles, etc plus mics (if they need a different one from the house one) and they might say a few things to ease their worries, etc. I think Jen might have been told that she'd have a part of the HOH competition right before the interview started...just my opinion.

ETA: Also, I've always felt (from bits I've heard, etc) that both nominated houseguests are 'briefed' before the live show of what to expect upon walking out the door. In this instance, both Jen and Jameka might have been told in the 'sacred' DR that they might have a role in the HOH from outside the house. That way they were prepared.

Perhaps once she was out of that unnatural setting of the
House, Jen didn't need convincing.

In any case, she was successful in a big way...she was able to bring out the worst in the remaining HGs. We know them a lot better because of their interactions with Jen while she was there and even now when she is not there. This is always a good way to get to know people. Watch how they treat those who might be a bit different...whether it be different looks, lifestyles, religion, interests, etc... I know this is a game and people have
strategies, however every now and then the "real person" manages to slip through, much to their chagrin later on.

It's funny - these two seem to polarize boards. If you like Dick, then you must not like Jen. If you like Jen, then you must not like Dick. I don't care for either of them. Dick acts like a bellicose bully and Jen acts like a vacuous narcissist with some sort of affective disorder. I was glad to see her evicted last night and I will be just as glad to see Dick evicted. (Go Dani and Zach!)

Judging from her teary reaction to Zach, I think she really liked him. I can see her staying in the Sequester house until Zach is eliminated. then possibly leaving (as she doesnt care who wins) or having fun with the HGs in a new setting.

Believe me. If Dick starts up anything there I would imagine security would nip it in the bud.

THAT, if anything, will be what Jen will demand.

As someone else just said - the HGs are rehearsed. Both possible evictees were given a rundown on what would happen if they were evicted. You know, how to get through the double door, where to walk when they exit the house, say 'hi' to Julie but then wait to be miked up, etc.

This time, they (Jen and Jameka) were told they might get to participate in the HOH. They may very weill have been given some practice.

It isn't a conspiracy, it's smart producers preparing for a live TV show.

As far as AG letting Jen be on the Jury??? I'm sure AG was begging her to stay. It screws up their show if they don't get the jury the way they planned.

Also, all the previous Jury members have been able to speak to their families/loved ones. There's nothing unusual there. The phone calls are apparently monitored but that's it.

BTW - I wouldn't blame Jen one bit if she did decide to walk - but I wonder if AG could sue her then.

I think her agent probably reminded her that CBS controls all of her public appearances except for preexisting contracts for about the next three years in the contract she signed. Three years is a LONG time for a model. The could do everything from take away her stipend to keeping her on ice for several years as far as modeling or acting go.

I have sat and thought, didn't this agent read the contract BEFORE she signed it and now she wants to ask him? Jen had made comments earlier in the day about her participation in the HOH comp... she thought that CBS/BB were trying to find a way to let her stay which is how/why she was participating.

She might have simply wanted assurance that she'd be safe from ED if/when he got evicted.

Woogie jerked Shapiro around, so they ought to be used to it.

Exactly and Jen was "trained" by Woogie so, I am sure she thought she could use the same strong arm tatics that Will used to get Boogie into the All Stars. I thought her outfit was tacky, like her bathing suits... the girl just cannot get that sometimes less is not always better... like the swimsuits. I mean, sorry... she just really really liked to expose herself wayyyyyy too much for my taste. Those bathing suits are just unreal. She did change however prior to the show airing... why i don't know... but her in daisy dukes does not work for me.

Re: the change of clothes. Jameka told the group Jen was scared someone would ruin her live show outfit if she wore it for too long, so she changed at the last minute.
