Josianne | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 12:48 pm  I an not a Jamie fan but I don't even dislike her. I feel like she has a huge self-improvement journey to begin and the sad thing is that before she get to go within and learn to love her-self, she will have to deal with all those issues created by this stupid show(that I cannot miss<--I too like to feed my voyeur needs) before she gets to the juice...must of been part of her path. I see in her a potentially great woman who can bring good to humanity...someday...why? because she WANTS to be great, at this point she may think she is, for the wrong reasons(and somewhat, as a spirit she is!) but what she'll realize is that she needs to be true to herself before she can assume her greatness. The WILL to become great will lead her to do whatever work on herself needed to achieve it. She is still a kid. Now bash me all you want...this is my opinion and as an ever-changing, pro-evolution person, I know it will evolve, the day I'll be all-knowing , I'll be gone from this heart and I don't even think that we EVER know it all. Btw...an opinion doesn't define a spirit, it defines where you are in your journey, what you've learned in your circumstances...please try to be nice to each others remembering that "before you knew better, you didn't and you certainly don't know better than... and neither do I" |
Lafatme | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 03:55 pm  i won't bash you. i think jamie has a lot of positive qualities. she's only 23 and has a lot to learn but she's intelligent and will learn. you're right that her WILL to succeed will be a great help to her. i wish her the best. |
Franny1 | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 04:13 pm  I agree, I think she is probably a real sweet caring girl. She is star struck which is nothing to be hated for. I think the nastiness about her makeup is created by people who don't know how to express their real feelings so they just have to attack someone on a personal level, and we should pity them. However I don't believe she has played this game to her own advantage. Women today need to stand up for what they believe in and when they don't they are not respected by either sex. The three guys have at one point or another tried to get her to open up and she just won't. Josh has talked to her about honesty, Curtis tried to get her to explain her anger and Eddie is at the point he wants to make her furious so she will say something. She is just too concerned about image and what she doesn't see it that her image is that of a weak person. |
Adven39 | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 08:41 pm  Excellent, Franny1. One of the few balanced assessments of Jamie I have read. Most either are smitten by her or, as you say, have some inexplicable need to lash out at her. I'm not sure I would agree that she's weak. Insecure and tightly self-contained, maybe. |
Nance | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 09:06 pm  I again I have to agree with you Fanny ....I feel the same way towards the Jamie I have seen for the last 3 months on the BB show and live feeds. |
Novasea | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 09:53 pm  She will be tremendously hurt, and will feel the pain in private, and check the boards out... she will 'have' to see. There are so many unfair and flamming posts, I only hope she finds the better ones on where she could have improved. Unlike Jordan, I think Jamie WILL learn and grow from what she hears, and because of that desire she WILL be great at what she goes on to... I think she is genuine in her friendliness. I've liked her from the beginning, and hoped she'd at least hold hands with Curtis. They'd be nice together. I hope we hear more about her in the future. |
Katie | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 09:56 pm  I have been thinking of Curtis' reaction on the previous banishments and seeing him cry. I think we can all see that there is at least a close friendship between Curtis and Jamie. I am thinking he will be very sad to see Jamie leave Wednesday. |
Solos | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 10:01 pm  I agree Katie.....Curtis will be anxious to see jamie again. I hope it is mutual ! Jamie should of at least gotten a bit more passionate with Curtis, hmmmmmm bet the fans wouldn't have been so quick to oust her then I am NOT talking about anything sexual, just passionate like kissing |
Wendy | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 10:03 pm  I don't mean to be mean-spirited or be a smart ass here... BUT... I think Jamie will probably come close to having a breakdown because of this show. What happens when someone becomes obsessed with their exterior--the fitness competitions, the pageants--thinking they can get attention and love and adoration if they are perfect, and then they find out they are being rejected? Wouldn't that be devastating? Let's hope she takes solace in the people who are close to her who do love her. But will she? It didn't seem as though she was before BB. It seems as though she was striving to get the attention of anyone she could. |
Mas | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 11:51 pm  Novasea, Lafatme and Katie, I've enjoyed your takes over the last couple of months. I too am afraid for Jamie, she's still very young and not prepared for all the hatred directed towards her during and after the show. I do think she'll try to reach out to both Brittany and Curtis after the show, but might be rebuffed. Brittany has already stated on the eyada interview that Jamie and she won't be good friends. Curtis is a good man, but lacks sensitivity. I think he's lost his crush on Jamie since the anti-Jamie frat banner. He's great at giving a timely hug, but their private conversations are passionless. Watching the two dance for 20 or so hours during the marathon was extremely boring. Their "public love" was fun, but just a phoney game to deflect connecting on a deeper emotional level. (I admire their loyalty to each other since the Karen nominations which made watching BB especially enjoyable.) When Jamie's banished Wednesday, Curtis will be very sad, but expecting the result unlike Brittany's exit. He'll give her a great big hug, and a nice kiss to her cheek. I'll have a tear watching that scene. At best, he'll watch out for Jamie as a little sister. They are at two different points in their lives. Curtis is looking to start a family; Jamie is looking for a career or back to school. Weird prediction: If Eddie moves to LA without Monika, I could see Eddie and Jamie dating. <just a hunch> Though, Eddie is not my favorite, he has a kind heart and tough exterior that could protect Jamie. She likes him warts and all. "Mess with her and I'll kick your a**" |
Snowgirl | Monday, September 25, 2000 - 11:54 pm  Wendy, I don't know about that. I do believe Jamie is insecure, and I imagine that what she hears when she gets out will hurt her. But I recall that before she was first nominated, many people posted things to the effect that she would freak out over being nominated, that she wouldn't be able to handle it, etc. From what I've seen, she's handled it fine (both times). Kinda bugs me that no one acknowledged that or admitted they were wrong. |
Brzer | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 02:34 am  Someone mentioned that Jamie might be rebuffed by former houseguests and I agree that might be the case. If so it will be painful for her but she will be fine. The road trip with Josh, Karen, Brit and Curtis may go on as planned but I also heard Josh, George, Eddie, Curtis and Jamie saying they would like to all go to Vegas after everyone has made their personal appearances for BB. IMO the Vegas trip would be great for them all and I hope they get to do it. It would be interesting to see if the road trip or the Vegas trip happens, but I doubt we will ever know. Eddie wants to go to the beach soo bad that it's making me want to go too. |
