I hope you people are as passionate about important real world issues as you are about nitpicking Jamie's every move.

I still say it has nothing to do with getting her face or hair wet (she's participated in watersports many times). She just doesn't want to be seen on camera in her bikini -- hence her hiding behind a bush when she sunbathes and always putting her shirt on before getting up. If she knew about the cleavage camera, she would never wear the bikini outside. She doesn't mind revealing herself to the male houseguests near the pool, but not on camera.

Fenixtx - There's not much else going on now. This is about all we have to work with. Try cutting us some slack.

I have, on occasion, tried to talk about more serious issues here -- and, boy, did I get slapped down fast. It's not worth the effort. I'm the Jordan of Big Brother Fanclub. :)

I think it's also due to the fact that she believes that the secret to looking good in a bathing suit is to move as little as possible so as to minimize unsightly jiggle, or something. Kind of sad, really.

This is not a board for posting opinions about "important world issues." They have other baords for that. We obviously enjoy the banality of it all. If you do not, I would suggest trying another board.

But back to Jamie. I have a hard time understanding why someone who has repeatedly competed in pageants would be so shy about her bod. If I were her, and she has a nice bod, let's be honest, I would use every assest at my disposal to curry favor with the audience.

It's gotta be the make-up and a body image problem. Remember when Curtis remarked that "Jaime had more curves than Pacific Coast Hwy"??

Maybe her favourite white bikini is notoriously see-through when it gets wet? But it was the best fitting suit in the store, so she's sacrificed function for form.

Wouldn't surprise me. ;-)

White bathing suits are very attractive against tanned skin. But white bathing suits are for looks only. Canuckle is right..99% of white bathing suits are see-thru when wet.

If I was her, I would have the white for sunbathing (it does reflect light for tanning, and is cooler than a black one) and have a darker (or patterned) one for swimming.

I still feel the hair is an issue. She has blond highlights in her hair. Those blond highlights will grab the chlorine from the water and will turn green. It's hard to get green out of hair. And it really dries it out. *from experience*

If she was at home it may not be a big deal, but since she knows there are live shows and such, I suppose it is a small issue.

I don't cite her on vanity with this since it is a huge pain (the green can stay in there for months..swimmers usually shave their heads or cut it very short..plus caps). If I was on BB I don't think I would walk around in a wet, white bikini with green hair (hey..that might make a good strategic move ;)
But I would get in the pool..wet the hair down first..braid it..and take a risk..wash it right after. But that's me.
Still not a Jamie fan.

If Jamie is so self conscious about being seen in her bikini, and she knew that summer is terribly hot in LA, why didn`t she bring a dark one piece suit with her? Why doesn`t she go in the pool with shorts and a top? It HAS to be the makeup. Talk about vanity! Jamie didn`t think of this as a game show; she saw herself being on a three month Hollywood audition. "Pose pretty for the camera, keep the fake beauty queen smile going all you can, talk in an innocent child like voice, and don`t forget to ever be seen without a pound of makeup plastered on your face."

I don't know why she hasn't been in recently, but I clearly remember Jamie being in the pool - yes in the water - during "pool time" when Jordan and Britt were still there so I don't think it's a makeup or image problem.

Actually, she does have a black one-piece swim suit. I've seen her wear it the pool and sunbathing. Don't remember if she wore the white shirt over it, though. She does tend to put shorts on over a suit if she isn't tanning, as did Brit.

Her actions with her bikini are due to the fact she's about 15 pounds overweight and she is extremely conscious of that fact.

When she is laying on her back sunbathing she knows that it isn't very noticeable, but given standard body movements that everyone does when walking or sitting on the grass it is noticeable, therefore she hides it.

She just has low self esteem and body issues, it's not evil in any respect, she just needs a little therapy.

Meppen - you had me until the end. I'm exactly 15 lbs overweight (recent gain called 'eating for an ulcer'), and it gives me body issues and a self esteem problem. But I don't need therapy for it - just a little willpower....

Well, Ccc, I'm about 20 overweight (Almost sounds like we're having a fat contest) and personally I know that my own feelings of inadequacy stem from other things besides the lousy 20 pounds. So from a personal perspective, I know that I would benefit from a little therapy and I'm sure she would too. Hell, let's be honest here, pretty much everyone could use a little therapy. Or at least almost everyone in that house could benefit from some....

Therapy for being 15 lbs. overweight? I'm not a Jamie fan by a far cry....and hope she is out next nomination (After Ge of course) I wish I looked that good being 15 lbs. overweight.

It was 10:15 pm. I must say, that my heart soared in seeing Jamie playing IN the pool, getting her hair wet, her FACE wet, and just generally, having fun!! My immediate thought was, "Wow, Jamie thinking about that 32%, and is attempting some changes." I really WAS excited!

My heart fell, as I watched her at 10:30 pm, applying make-up.

note* 10:30 the boys are in the bathroom with her, brushing their teeth, showering, getting ready for bed, as she was doing her face.

Knew it was to good to hope for.
