Katie | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 02:46 am  Kearie, Trying some herbal tea now to calme my nerves. Rasberry. Would you like some of this? |
Remus | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 04:15 am  Chris - You wont see me on Big Brother II because I am not needy enough to want to be on the show. Some of you don't understand that these people were not bonked over the head and forced to participate in this show. They wanted to! They knew that this was a REALITY show. Jamie came in here to get exposure and be a star. She calculated every move. Try to avoid storylines...Try to look innocent..Try to grab fame at every opportunity. It just didn't fly with the viewers. You can't just keep saying we don't understand..when you see the vote totals against her Wednesday it will be YOU who doesn't understand. This thread is created much in the spirit of public television. It is to Educate the Jamie Supporters as to why we feel the way we do. Now if you will excuse me, my bandaged dialing finger has several more #3's to press |
Sensfan | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 04:54 am  My problem with Jamie is her desire to be a Hollywood performer/personality. That's akin (in my book) to WANTING to become a gambler or a prostitute. Does she not want more out of life? Is she not educated? |
Annah | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 05:57 am  Jamie IS educated (all appearances to the contrary) and has been accepted into Ivy League graduate schools...Hopefully, this experience and the aftermath will help her come to the realization that her future is NOT in Hollywood...and she will travel a more fulfilling, happy and lucrative path. I wish her the best....I think she will always do well. |
Something | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 06:11 am  She is a 1) intelligent, 2) good looking, 3) professional woman and a lot of people just can't handle that. |
Kcanuck | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 06:20 am  Something: reply to your comment - The only way you know Jamie is intelligent is by her supposed 4.0 school record. You sure don't know it by watching her. Good looking is in the eye of the beholder. She has no profession that I know of - being a beauty queen is not a profession. |
Irish | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 06:30 am  Uh Oh I wear make-up to work. I work 10-12 hrs a day so my house is only cleaned on weekends. I've told little white lies not to hurt someone's feelings. I don't get easily offended/am very thick-skinned (lol have to be in my job) Rejection comes every day. And no I'm not a stripper. And I'm an 1) intelligent 2) good looking, 3)professional woman. Does this mean I'm a Jamie? LOL this is tongue in cheek folks! I'm still working on my first cup of coffee!  |
Something | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 06:36 am  Kcanuck, I guess working for a company, her job at an internet company has been mentioned many times, isn't a profession. Maybe I spend less time nit picking about people and actually watching them? |
Smashedkat | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 06:41 am  Let's face it, Jamie is living in ME-Land. She still thinks Anthony promised her something when all he said was "Come out and take some acting lessons." She runs around asking everyone about her, what was said about her, the banners are wrong about her. She needs a "NO GLOBAL WHINING" T-SHIRT for sure. Her final words before departing on Wednesday will probably be something like How could they do this to ME. |
Mjji | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 07:26 am  Obtaining a 4.0 grade point average is one thing. Being able to apply what was learned, having intelligence, is another. She, herself, has said that she got that GPA because she has a photographic memory. |
Muddy | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 08:33 am  OK, I'll jump in with the latest things that I've noticed about Jamie. She slept in the boys' room the two nights before nominations; now that they don't control her destiny, she's back in the girls' room. She was rude to say IF she'd won she'd have given the TV to Josh or Eddie; at that point she knew it was a moot point, and caused unnecessary discomfort for Curtis. She says she hopes it's not her or Eddie leaving without the money...Why did she nominate Eddie so many times then? Why would she, a college graduate, need money more than Josh, a current student? She's said all along she's not there for the money, just the "experience". I halfway expect in her banishment interview she'll say she'd planned to split the $500,000 with the others, once again IF she'd won. And finally my last shot at talking about how she never seems to do any chores. She parades back and forth with her hands on waist while Curtis cooks all the dinners, and Ed/Josh do the dishes. Josh cleans the toilet. Ed does yard and chickens. Guess she's safe in figuring the chores don't figure into the edited storylines. I know, I know - her fans will say she bakes cookies, grates cheese and heats potatoes up for lunch. |
Malarky | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 08:43 am  Could someone either post the link or email me the Paul Romer interview piece? I can't find it on the official site anywhere, and didn't watch the show before 3 weeks ago. You are all so good at creatively blasting each other here! They need to cast the next show with people like you- I know I would watch! |
Remus | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 09:01 am  "Something" offered the Typical rubbish saying we dislike Jamie because she is good looking intelligent and a professional woman. Consider that a majority of viewers are women, then consider that a majority of those who post here are intelligent. All you are left with is a tired 1970's feminist defense that falls flat on it's face. Jamie has made several missteps in calculating how she was going to win and be a star. We do know she isn't going to win. And from the Entertainment Critic's responses so far, her proposed Stardom is not a sure thing either |
Watweety | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 09:02 am  Malarky here is the link to the first part you can find the other two parts of the interview by looking in the days after this. http://webcenter.bigbrother2000.aol.com/entertainment/NON/article309.html |
Marthastewart | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 09:19 am  I wear makeup. I am a professional. I work for an Internet (website development) Company. I have been told I am attractive. I still don't care for Jamie, and don't feel any connection to her whatsoever. She seems to lack compassion in my opinion, and just doesn't have the ability to see past her own world unless it's something that could possibly affect that world. I think that is her downfall, the thing that viewers react to with Jamie. She doesn't connect well to people, and people can see that. Something that came to mind when I read about her GPA being 4.0. I never once heard Cassandra's GPA mentioned, but she displayed far more intelligence (both intellectual and emotional) than I saw from Jamie. Maybe because she has the ability to empathize and genuinely respond to someone else. |
Chris | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 10:01 am  Remus: You apparently don't read my posts, for I am not a Jamie supporter as you claim I am. But I think the very anti-social behaviour of many of her detractors is absurd. Does your mother know you act like this? As for your bandaged dialing finger, at the end of this show I will have spent a total of $6 on votes. I can find far more worthy causes to throw my money at than CBS. |
Delia | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 10:03 am  Someone on here wrote: Family should always come first...in that Jamie should have chosen her mother over Anthony. I was talking with a psychologist friend of mine about this. I told him I thought Jamie absolutely made the right decision by choosing Anthony. He agreed. He said he suspects BigBrother was testing Jamie to see if she were truly serious about pursuing a careeer in Hollywood. Had she chosen her mother, she would have clearly demonstrated that she's still "mommy's little girl" and not yet ready to cut the strings from mommy to pursue that career she says she wants very much. By choosing Anthony, she demonstrated she is indeed serious about a Hollywood career and had the maturity to choose Anthony. As my friend pointed out, she's on BB to make as many connections for a Hollywood career as possible. Her mother is NOT a connection and would have been an inppropriate choice in this context, and also demonstrated Jamie's lack of maturity. As my friend says: Family does NOT always come first or shouldn't. It depends upon the situation. Hope this helps. I will be sorry to see Jamie banished tomorrow. I've read many of these threads and threads throughout this forum regarding Jamie. I honestly don't understand the intense venom that many people have for her and there is a tremendous amount of venom out there for Jamie. Hopefully she will never come on this forum and read this stuff. I wish Jamie the very best. Delia |
Malarky | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 10:21 am  Thanks Watweety! |
Beetle | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 10:27 am  doesn't it bother you at all when she tells Eddie "I spent a half of an hour in the rr telling them how great it would be if you won" she fails to mention all her visits to the rr nominating her. Does she have 2 personalities? |
Delia | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 10:51 am  2 Personalities? I don't think so. She chooses to focus on different things at different times. I've heard Jamie consistently say that all the HGs deserve to win because they "all have good hearts." I must have missed it when she nominated herself in the RR. At one time or another, haven't they all said they would like to win? Delia |
Beetle | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:00 am  meant to say that she nominated him(eddie) over and over and then says she spent time in rr saying she thinks he should win. |
Something | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:11 am  Most of you who flip out at Jamie say the same sort of stuff over and over. Most of it is just nit picking. She uses too much lip gloss. She used "rolling the dice" as a reason to vote, as opposed to the great double dipping reason, or others just as stupid or false. When it comes to you people she is damned if she does, and damned if she doesn't. I can just picture the comments if she commented on how nice and red the sky was at sunset. She would end up being jumped on for stating the obvious, or trying to show a nature loving side to get support. I hope that you run into people who rip you apart as much as you have done to her. You are more deserving of it. |
Eaglemagic | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 12:20 pm  Chuck - Where is the link to Jamie's complaining to Curtis about his not giving her the Emmy ticket? I would like to read that on the live feeds. This is the first I have ever heard about that. Also, since Jamie is Miss Washington, wasn't it important to her that she honor her title? She was supposed to be available to do community service and lectures, etc. That is part of holding the title. She even said that she hadn't told them she was joining BB. The whole thing makes me feel that she doesn't follow through on her commitments. I wonder why they didn't take her title away. |
Rufusgriswold | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 12:35 pm  My problem with Jamie is her desire to be a Hollywood performer/personality. That's akin (in my book) to WANTING to become a gambler or a prostitute. Does she not want more out of life? Is she not educated? Okay, just when I was feeling the most depressed, someone says something so ludicrous it makes me laugh. Wanting to be a performer is the same as wanting to be a gambler or prostitute. What is this 1845? Maybe we'll start seeing more of those 19th century signs that said "No Dogs or Actors Allowed." ROFLMAO |
Delia | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 12:48 pm  Beetle wrote: meant to say that she nominated him(eddie) over and over Just like Josh has nominated Curtis over and over. Nominations are part of the process of BB. Delia |
