Jamie's Unpopularity - Three Examples of where she went wrong
Lucinda | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 01:59 pm  Delia, the difference is that Josh never told Curtis that he spent all this time in the RR saying Curtis should win. Curtis didn't tell Eddie he spent so much time in the RR arguing that Eddie should win. Everyone else just does what they have to do. Jamie is trying to cover her *ss so that Eddie doesn't recognize what the banner folks are trying to tell him--that Jamie really has been nominating him over and over. No one forced her to say that to Eddie. It was her kneejerk reaction: "Poor me! you know I just spent an hour trying to explain why I think YOU should WIN, Eddie!" Whatever--I cannot imagine anyone more disingenuous than this girl. I cannot understand constantly wanting to excuse everything she does--no one is saying she shouldn't nominate Eddie, rather, she doesn't have to be misleading about it later. I would be her biggest defender if she just once risked something--put herself on the line--just one time. |
Kathyb | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 02:05 pm  The night Jamie slept in the boys room, Eddie complained quite a bit about the "estrogen" in the room and obviously was unhappy that she was there. I don't blame her for not going back - she was not welcome. By Eddie, anyway. |
Smashedkat | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 02:22 pm  What astounds me is they all talk of getting together after leaving the house. Face it, if they all see the videos of the program including the rr conversations, none of them will like any one else. Its okay now to say "oh I spent so much time telling them you should win" ya-da-ya-da-ya-da. The proof will be in the pudding. |
Remus | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 02:40 pm  Delia, You and your Psychologist friend should understand that this was a TWO MINUTE TALK, and it was only set up because the producers had a feeling she would make the wrong move!!! Keep in mind that her mother took a plane trip from Washington State to see her and had to take the trip back rejected. There was nothing Jamie could have gained in two minutes with Anthony and plenty to lose in public opinion. Of all Jamie's calculations to no be part of a storyline, this was her major stumble. It unearthed all the latent feelings people had about Jamie, which has now evolved into a groundswell to banish her. |
Nan | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 03:15 pm  Delia - I feel the same as you. A friend of mine was griping about how awful it was of Jamie to pick Anthony over her mother, and I explained how Jamie and her mother knew they would be seeing each other in a week or two anyway, and that her mother knew that Jamie was in BB to further her hollywood career. Her mother was probably enjoying the extra attention, too! |

There was nothing Jamie could have gained in two minutes with Anthony and plenty to lose in public opinion. To begin with, CBS/Endemol most certainly paid for the trip. Her mother probably knew and even hoped that Jamie would choose Anthony over her so she (Jamie's mother) was prepared for that. I can't imagine Jamie's mother felt "rejected" in this situation. It's a game show, not a family reunion. Jamie met Anthony and she has his phone number and she is to contact him upon leaving the house. Jamie gained a lot in those two minutes. She absolutely made the right decision. Hope this helps. Delia |
Chris | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 07:13 pm  Delia: Her mother did say she almost cried when Jamie picked whats-his-name instead of her, but accepted her decision, and wanted whatever was best for her. Personally, I think Jamie should have realized the negative PR this would give her. Hollywood is all about image, and she wasn't thinking of that. It is coming back on her now with her detractors, and may leave a residual effect for when she gets a real meeting with a casting director. (btw, I'm not a Jamie-Hater) |
Remus | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 07:18 pm  When they interviewed Jamie's mother about her choice she said she was sad at first. Now this is from a mother of a Pagent Queen with a strategy!!! She couldn't even go into spin-control to say she didn't mind. I know I am not the part of the 12% who likes Jamie, but obviously this was a fatal error on her part. Everything else was a calculated move ..how could she slip up here? If she had made the choice to see her mother, she would have gotten a huge boost from those teetering on the fence about Jamie. Instead it solidified negative feelings about her. If she chose her mom, I have a feeling a few more Anthony's would have been there with their business cards on FRIDAY. |
Buckboy | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 07:19 pm  I will tell you what we will see Jamie in???? T&A movies that is as far as this exprience will take her. She looks good but thats it!!!!!! |

Hello Chris. I wasn't aware that Jamie's mother had said that. Since that's the case, all I can say is that it appears that Jamie's mother did not fully understand this game called BigBrother either. Maybe Jamie and her mother are weak on communication skills between them. Who knows. Jamie only had seconds (I believe it was) to decide between Anthony and her mother. I think it would take longer than that--quite a bit longer in fact--to realize the negative PR that has come from Jamie's decision. Delia |
Remus | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 03:33 am  Yes but Jamie seems to have has such a rigid plan to NOT be real. To NOT do anything negative..to NOT be a storyline. It was the Anthony choice where she slipped from her plan. This was the equivalent of being seen without makeup. This was a pretty well visited thread, thanks to all for participating. I am NOT going to bash Jamie after tonights banishement show. Once she is booted, I am leaving the girl alone. |

Have you talked to Jamie? How are you privy to the fact that every move before this was calculated? Just wondering. Chris wrote: Her mother did say she almost cried when Jamie picked whats-his-name instead of her, but accepted her decision, and wanted whatever was best for her. That was part of the interview CBS chose to show us first, and I don't remember her mother saying she almost cried. Later, on another show, they showed the rest of what her mother said which was that she knew Jamie would pick the casting director and it was fine with her. I know that if that were my child in there, I would want them to do what they felt was best for them at the time. My son even told me, "Sorry Mom, but I would have made the same choice she did." LOL...and I told him, I know. I wouldn't even have bothered to show up. I know that even if he chose someone else it wouldn't mean he loves me any less. I'm sure that Jamie shows her love for her mother in many ways, just because she chose the way she did doesn't make her a rotten child. I have to wonder about all the people who get so bent out of shape about this. Do their children constantly have to reaffirm their love for their parents? I know my children love me and they know I love them and I trust them to do what is right for them. They don't always have to do what would make me happy. Just my opinion. |
Remus | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 09:48 am  Jamie has mentioned she did not want to do anything negative that could be part of a storyline. She has many times refrained from commenting on things. This seems like a calculation to me. Talking to Jamie about it wouldn't get any results anyway q. Jamie were you calculating? a. No So we can draw our conclusions from the evidence. I am just suprised that since her plan was to "do no harm" She made a decision that surely would make her look bad to the majority. (those who are not in the 12% who like her) So that's the last I have to say about Jamie, I wish her luck on the outside. |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 10:18 am  Lucinda...absolutely. I am not a Jamie hater at all but I have a problem with some of her behavior and have been saying this from her first nomination with the "dice". If she had been clear that the choices she made were right for her and stood by her convictions, we would have reacted differently. She cloaked her actions if she, herself, believed them wrong. If we ourselves are not behind our own actions how can anyone else be? |
