Where is Jamie?
Mas | Tuesday, October 17, 2000 - 10:55 am  Just to clarify my previous post. I took Jamie's banishment into account. Here's the scenario that I was thinking about if the family alliance held true. (I know this is all in hindsight.) 2nd nom rd. Jamie beats Jordan. easy pick. 3rd nom rd. Jamie loses to Josh. easy. 4th nom rd. Curtis loses to Josh. close. 5th nom rd. Josh beats Cassandra. close. Too close to call for the final three among Eddie, Josh, Karen, George, and Brittany. Maybe, a sane George, then Eddie, and Josh. If Jamie stayed closed to Karen and she formed a loose association with the family alliance, then it might have gone like this. 2nd nom rd. Jordan gone 3rd nom rd. Josh beats Cassandra. 4th nom rd. Josh beats Curtis. 5th nom rd. Josh beats Jamie. Again, the final three among Eddie, Josh, Karen, George, and Brittany. I'm just trying to say if you like Curtis, Jamie helped allow Curtis to make it to the top three. I for one appreciate her, yes, for her loyalty. Even if Jamie fell for Eddie, which I thought was possible, I wouldn't hold it against Jamie for eventually nominating Curtis. That's just the way the game is set up. If you're lucky, you can save one person at the end. Same holds with Josh, he should have went after Jamie first, they have alot in common. But that's Josh. I would expect Jamie to support her closest friend, Brittany over her closest guy friend be it Curtis, Eddie or Josh. ------------------------------------------------- About Jamie protecting herself, I think she would have guarenteed herself several rounds by staying with Karen. That was pretty risky to nominate Karen on principle, especially if she stayed and found out who nominated whom. Jamie would have had to sleep on the living room couches for the next three weeks. |
Britisnaive | Tuesday, October 17, 2000 - 12:09 pm  Mas, I am not badmouthing Jamie. I kind of like her, at times. However, I just don't think Jamie is protecting Curtis. And, if you remember, the family alliance was already starting to break down on its own, with Eddie and George being the most "rebelious". So, to say that Curtis has to thank Jamie for saving him is just ridiculous. However, I do think Curtis has to thank Jordan for being a b*tch. Also, Josh has to thank Brit for not nominating him in the 4th round. Otherwise, George and Josh will be nominated, and I think Josh will be gone. |
Prince | Tuesday, October 17, 2000 - 12:21 pm  If you look back now, in the 4th round, Britt does nominate George, she probably could have save herself by making her 2nd choice either Josh, Eddie, or Curtis instead of Cassandra. Also if she nominated Jamie, maybe Teresa and the George fans could have targetted her instead of Britt. It is interesting looking back after some perspective. OK, back to the where is Jamie question. |
Russ702 | Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 06:41 pm  RE: Entertainment Nobody ever represesented the houseguests as dancing monkeys for our entertainment. They were put in that limited world, and we were allowed to observe them. It was not their responsibility to "entertain" us. God knows, George sure tried, though. There are many people in my life who I like to be around, but I would hardly consider them entertaining. I simply think, that in my life, there really wasn't anybody in the house I wouldn't enjoy spending some time with. Maybe not Will, but Brit, Jamie, and George would be the ones I think I would have enjoyed the most. |
Rockey22 | Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 07:02 pm  I knew if Britt was up for nom she was screwed just to many people hate her (still do) and would vote out her, she was likely it happen when almost entire house was up, i hate think what her %'s would be if was just her and another hg up for banishment it would be high for sure. |
Rooting4curtis | Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 11:08 pm  Mas, you bring up a good point about Jamie helping Curtis (unwittingly) reach the final three. Since you point that out, I thank Jamie for her part in protecting Curtis from banishment. You've really gone into a detailed analysis of possible voting strategies, and I admire that about you and other BBFC members who so closely examined the "alliances" and forecast the outcomes of various voting scenarios. I mapped it out once myself, too, according to the way I thought the remaining houseguests would vote, and I found it really interesting to do so. Hey, have fun with BBII here at the Clubhouse. I just wanted to answer you since you addressed me directly. |
Rooting4curtis | Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 11:24 pm  Renee: Yes, at first glance it does seem contradictory to say that Jamie was manipulative (and I truly believe she was) and to say that she should've dug out her bikini earlier than she did. Let me explain: Jamie has a fabulous figure and I think the guys in the house would have been slobbering over her and would have gone to great lengths to protect her from nomination at the end if she had shown off her toned torso and muscular legs a bit earlier in the game than she did. I'm not sure whether MODESTY or fear of being PERCEIVED as immodest kept Jamie from wearing her bikini earlier than she did, but she obviously abandoned her thinking and brought out the big guns after she was finally nominated for banishment by the other houseguests. I say this because it was just a day or two after she was nominated that she wore her beautiful white bikini. Personally, I got the impression that Jamie put on the revealing bathing suit in order to gain popularity with the viewing public who were to decide her fate, and that it very likely would have been to her advantage to have done so earlier in the summer. It's kind of the same thinking as Dave Letterman had about Jordan: who would dream that the houseguests and the viewing public would toss out an exotic dancer? I felt that the houseguests and the viewers would want to keep a pretty piece of eye-candy like Jamie around as long as possible. It seems I get into trouble whenever I try to be funny at this message-board. Apparently only a select few members are permitted to be amusing/witty/critical/bitingly sarcastic without being attacked by other members. That's too bad. |
Russ702 | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:17 am  Jamie's first bikini appearance was the weekend after Jordan left. The only thing that may have helped was if she had worn one all the time. She probably spent less than 2 hours total "on display". |
Nsgirl | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 10:18 am  Hey rooting4curtis: I agree. There almost seems to be "alliances" on the message boards (he-he). I seem to recall watching the live feeds relatively early on (maybe after 1 month) and seeing Jamie in her bikini. Perhaps, once again, the editing was done in such a way that they did not want us to see it. Altough I'm not a big Jamie fan, I do think that edited really swayed our opinions of the HG. I had favs. depending on what they showed each day. I swayed from Britt, to Josh, to Curtis, back to Britt, to Eddie, etc. etc. It did stay within those 4 though. My husband was glued each night just hoping to catch a glimpse of Jamie in her bikini. So, I think you are right, she might have used that as a strategy. Although this has nothing to do with the topic, for the record, my favs. since the show has ended are Britt and Curtis. |
Ångel_Of_Music | Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 11:30 am  I thought this was where is Jamie as in where is she in regards to publicity and the limelight? I want proof that she's been interviewed as much as she says she has on her website. I don't think any reporters or talk shows really want her on there. The media knows she won't talk about anything but herself. They get enough of that from REAL celebrities. I wouldn't even bring up Jamie but IF she is going to post that she's had all of this publicity, and yet we the viewing public hasn't seen jack then is she lieing to save face? I think the answer is yes to that. Also, she is STILL Miss Washington USA and she poses in a skimpy outfit on her page? This girl has no idea what a real pageant winner is. They respect their title not tarnish it with foolish antics all the time. |
Nsgirl | Friday, October 20, 2000 - 05:56 am  Hello Jamie - are you out there? She has certainly seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. I hear (which I take with a grain of salt) she may have a good shot at the Days' gig. |
