I agree, Lurk, that he certainly doesn't HAVE to do anything. But I think that was obvious from the start. He only has to do what we want if he really wants the money. CBS may be giving he a little bit of rope here so that he can vote whatever way he wants without alienating America?

I thought someone (Allison Grodner? Robin Kass? I don't watch it, so this is secondhand information) clarified that Eric MUST attempt the tasks given to him on Housecalls. If he fails, he doesn't get credit...but he must try each one. No?

yeah but Kale, not sure if you were around when some of us were debating it, but those who were sure he HAD to do what we wanted all the time showed exact wording from CBS that supported it. Enough that I admitted I was wrong. Looks now CBS/BB is crawfishing to let him do what he wants, not ONLY what we want. They were clear about it.

I really don't care beyond I wish they would be consistant. Say what it IS don't change it when they feel like it. Wonder who they want to protect?? Of course after the edit they gave Amber I have no clue what's going on, other then maybe need to make some folks seem really nice and since they didn't cast anyone who is, they are trying to fake it for the TV audience??!!! lol

That seems about right, Lurk! LOL

BB is great at the way it edits.

Okay, after tonite's episode I have two major impressions:

*Loving Jen, but glad her noms won't stand and Joe's going up. Hope he gets the boot. I saw NOTHING wrong with Jen warning people how she'd play things if the POV players didn't protect her noms. It's her right to make her case. She has the HoH power to nominate as her method of retaliation if she can stand the house heat for taking that path. Why in the world did half the house have to jump to Amber's defense? Didn't ANYONE in the house think it was odd that Amber broke down like that over Jen's comments? Which leads me to my next impression~

*Extremely disliking Amber. I don't have the feeds (for the first time since S3) and seeing her sure doesn't inspire me to change my mind.

Muse when the casting director was on Housecalls, she said Eric must attempt each task. He is only rewarded if he completes it, but he has no choice but to try to do it.

What do you mean he has no choice. What will happen if he doesn't? The scary penalty nom.? Will he be kicked off the show? Will they start counting to 3?

Kminfinity...I TOTALLY agree...Just because Amber is such a <100>...doesn't mean Jen's forthrightess should be held against her....

I felt like Jen was more bossy to Joe when she told him what she "wanted" to happen in POV....and Joe was really confrontational to her about it...Stupid Joe...now he wants to be in Jen's favor!!! LOL!

I'm telling you...I am really LIKING that <100>! LOL!

While I think Jen has every right to threaten people with a power she has, I also think everyone else has the right to get pissed off at her for doing so. It's a two way street.

What was bothering me about Jen was not so much that she was ordering people to do what she wanted "or else", it was that she was acting like she really is Queen of the house and, therefore, people should just take it. Jen should remember that HOH only lasts a week and the people who are so happy to kiss her butt right now will be just as happy to kick it out the door (and use these threats as a reason why) at the first opportunity.

I totally agree, Raen.

I just watched the ep, and three things came to mind:

1. The editing sucked! The shot of Jen leaving the HOH room while they were talking about wanting Joe to go up and she walks down the stairs. No belt. No belt in her hand. Then she walks into the small room. Belt on. Belt still on when she walked upstairs.

And more bad editing during the POV ceremony. I'm not sure how she could wear the unitard as a sleeveless thing as she walks in for the ceremony, then has the sleeves on, then off, then on again.

2. I about peed my pants when Jen walked into the small room, stood there, said nothing (and no one said anything to her) and then she flounced out. I tell you what, that silence said more than words could've!

3. If anyone had any doubts about exactly how narcissistic Jen is, watch her speech when she had to nominate someone during the POV meeting. She stood there and didn't look at a single HG. Instead, she looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't even look at Joe when she nominated him. (Watch her eyes... they are level with her own eyes; she never looked down at a sitting HG.)

She said it all herself... "she forgets people aren't her." Because doesn't the entire world revolved around HER?

I no longer think it's an act. That is Jen, 100%. Even with the fake boobs. Seriously, distasteful.

Well, I couldn't believe how someone could get so upset over their name being pulled to play POV because "Gosh I just love them both" (gag) and "it's going to be so hard" (gag). I don't think what Jen said to Amber was fair, but it was honest and straightforward. Can't fault Jen for saying that. But I can fault Amber for all these crying jags she goes on. Gosh, gee whiz, whatever.

I will say this: Jen took Dick and Dani's little tirades very well. I absolutely loved it. I may not care for Jen that much but anyone who can face down people without caving or getting out of sorts is cool by me.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I wasn't justifying Amber's crying. I'm the person who wanted Amber out the first week BECAUSE of her excessive crying.

I can't commend Jen for facing down anyone because I don't get the feeling she's truly facing them down so much as so full of herself that she really just doesn't care what they think.

Swannanoa, they have a name for that, sociopathic. If you enjoy Jen then you'd LOVE Charles Manson.

Oh, and Costa... yeah. The editing was quite bad. I mean, story-wise, it worked but it was obvious to anyone who had watched the feeds or was paying attention to what people were wearing, etc., that it was all chopped together.

We all know that Jen had specifically told Nick that she'd nominate him if she came downstairs and saw him in there with Daniele so the walking in and not really saying anything and stomping back out again was less stalker-crazy-like than the editing made it seem. (Though, her telling him that WAS stalker-like craziness in the first place. IMHO, at least.)

I think it was the "I'm Queen" aspect of Jen's behavior that bothered me so much. But then again, this type of behavior always backfires on an ex-HOH, doesn't it? I just didn't think she needed to threaten the people playing for the POV.

And Dani winning the POV was mostly luck, pure and simple. Yeah, she never lost any of the curling games, but all of the other "gifts" were taken, so she got lucky in getting the last one. Of course, had someone like Joe gotten it first, she could've snagged it from him at the end.

And Jen's face was PRICELESS when Daniele won the POV.

I agree, Raen. I've started watching Jen's face closely as she interacts with the other HGs. And I do think she really and truly doesn't care what the HGs think of her. Her only concern is to "look good" (and I suspect that is so that someone will "discover her" and she'll become a rich and famous movie star). (Although, looking at her resume and photo shoots, the girl is just THIS side of a full on Playboy spread. Anna Nicole Smith managed to make it to the top, albeit not because of her acting talents but because of her other assets. Jen just doesn't have anything that even is remotely endearing to others, IMNSHO.)

And the Amber crying bit... I dunno, but that girl really needs to get a grip. I was glad to hear that she threw the POV comp to Dani, though. Pretty much, that was a thumbing of the nose to Jen! (And naturally, Jen didn't make good on her threat because she DIDN'T nominate Dustin!)

Jessica was almost invisible this episode. And we finally saw Jameka talk (although what was up with Zach and his 'tude?).

Here I am coming in late again.

I'm sure it has all already said it, but:

Amber really annoys me. What is she doing on BB? What was she thinking applying for this show? You'd have to have a thicker skin to get by than what she has. BB is all about backstabbing and lying to get ahead. Her puffy eyes and red nose, and most of all her praying to God to help her win, are annoying the hell out of me.

Jen is like a cartoon character. I can't believe she's for real. Her meltdown over her BB picture compared to her apparent indifference to her housemate's feelings towards her makes me think she is bipolar. She's irritating but fun to watch.

I love love LOVE Eric. I never laughed so hard during BB as when we watched him "confide" in Kail and crawl into bed and snuggle with Joe's leg. I can't wait to see what he has to do next.

yeah, Eric seems to be 'into' his part as America's Player. He really does have a great sense of humor in the game...probably in real life as well.
