I have a feeling that all Jamie will get is her interview with Julie, have Thurday off and then have a day full of interviews on Friday and then be forgotten and off to school again. There are way too many haters. There will not be any interest in her once the last three come out and I don't think that the people who will interview her on Friday will do it because they are interested in her but to attack her and they will have a field day. I don't think she will come out of this with anything except the knowledge that she needs to go back to get her MBA.

Let's see....Anthony didn't exactly seemed overwhelmed with Jamie and tell her that she was sure to make it- he gave her the same generic advice he would have given anyone with no talent (and he surely watched a few tapes of her before giving her his advice since he's a professional)...TV Guide calls her deluded and self-absorbed...doesn't exactly look like Hollywood is falling at her feet waiting for her to get out.

I think that Jamie is going to be the only one to come out of this with nothing.

HaHa...Eddie and Curtis were just discussing who would have the most enduring publicity out of the group and at first they were discussing positions #1-#4 (Eddie said #4 might be better than #2 and #3 for publicity), then Curtis said something like, "Yeah, but you know Brit will be bigger that whoever gets #1. And so will George".

Left Jamie out of the conversation altogether. Even Jamie's staunchest supporter doesn't see her as getting that much enduring publicity.

Jenna and Colleen are getting a lot more publicity and attention than Susan and Kelly because they are much prettier and talented than S and K. I saw Jenna host Regis and she did a beautiful job, whereas Susan totally insulted Regis and embarrassed him terribly.

While I am not at all interested in ever seeing Jamie again, I wouldn't be surprised if she turned up somewhere doing something. I don't really think that timing is such a big deal--I mean what happens to people outside the house probably has more to do with how much they themselves put into it, as Cass said on Saturday night, and you could just see Jamie's mouth watering at that prospect. She'll be everywhere she can be. But, I won't be watching any of it, if I can help it.

I for one, Will Not purchase anything that is endorsed by Jamie and will gladly let the whomever hires her know it!

Wow, Lapida, that's pretty extreme. Chill out. It's only a TV show.

Whatever

Lapida-

Jamie's already endorsed BBFC.

She made sure to promote the website address several times after seeing the air banner Neil flew.

Bye-bye!

Whatever--Lapida said she would NOT PURCHASE anything Jamie endorsed. I don't see any money slot here at BBFC for coins

Mark Burnett's crew did a fabulous job picking people who were telegenic and interesting. Even Stacey got local gigs in a major media market being a Survivor expert and she was on the Island for 9 days. The cast of Survivor are a part of television history now, because they delivered the goods and Mark Burnett knew how to put together a great show. These people have leverage that the BB folks won't have. Survivors can say that they brought in 51 million viewers. Other networks are wanting some of the Survivor action and that is pretty exceptional. No one wants the BB action.

Some of the survivors who have done commercials have a limited career in Hollywood because they are now scabs. BB is a millionaire developer, so he doesn't care. Those survivors who are not planning an acting career will take whatever opportunities that come til January, and fade into the Sunset. Jenna, Gervase, and Sean are the only ones who really want a Hollywood career. They have far more charisma than any of the BB houseguests. Rudy seems to be in real demand, even though he seems like he hates all this stuff, but does it to have money to give to his kids. Rich is the only one who got picked up by William Morris, like Brittany. He has a much better chance to make something of himself because he is smarter than Brittany and is much more versatile and telegenic.

Brittany and Jordan are perhaps the only two who will have a chance at prolonged exposure. Jordan may be able to grow a career in radio if she gets good mentorship and feeds her head with knowledge.
Britt, if she is managed well, could go reasonably far. Josh can do modestly well based on his performance in the weathercast. If they do have BB II, Josh would make a better replacement for Julie as host.

Curtis could do a stint on Court TV, since it seems that the BB producers thought it might be conceivable enough to make it a question. The key is that BB houseguests will have to show real talent than the Survivor crew. Jamie is a dark horse, since she already has a negative buzz about her, on a show that has negative buzz. George will enjoy some local success. Eddie is a wild card, I think his mouth will be more of a hinderance than his one leg.

If the Survivor II cast is as good or better than the Survivor I cast, then whoever hasn't found a niche in the Industry will be out of luck. Plus, they will have to figure in the actors' and screenwriters' strike next year.

I think the star possiblity of reality show contestants like Survivor II (III) or BB II will decrease as the phenomena grows. The are only so many niches with vacancies.

Jamie might get some jobs. Maybe a Revlon spokeswoman . . . oh nevermind. They already have one who's much prettier, selfless, and well-spoken, and not to mention has overcome Cancer in her life.

I could see her on public access television hosting a local potato princess pagent, maybe if she gets lucky - her biggest job will be on E Entertainment Television on Cable. I'm sure they could fit her in there. I've seen many "who the heck is that" people that land there from other shows. She doesn't have the face for MTV, so that gig is out.

She'll find something. There are many little spots to be filled out in TV land.

Battlestar:

You have a good point and that could be the case. It depends on Mark Burnett if he can replicate and even exceed expectations for SII. SSI was lightening in a bottle, and there are high expectations that he could easily not match. I think he knows that he is expected to duplicate his success, and if anyone can do that it is Mark Burnett.

Don't fool yourselves - Jamie will get work.
As much as I and many many others find her fake and shallow she is still pretty and a reining Miss Washington. She will work folks because she has the equipment.

However I am with whoever said that they would boycott products she tries to endorse.

The one thing that will work against her more than any other is that she wants fame and makes it know. The allure of Survivor and BB types is that they are real - wanna be actresses are NOT real!

Well even though I don't want her to win the grand prize, I would love to see her in a soap opera. You like her- You don't like her. She has me changing my mind all the time.

I think Jamie will probably do some type of commercials/endorsements for hair products as she does have very beautiful hair..

Also something for facial products...like for Revlon, Almay, Cover Girl, etc...

In the last week, I have felt sorry for the number of votes she has on the polls [even though someone else is my favorite]..

Just the fact that she entered the BB house without informing the pageant officials, tells me that she'll be fine...she knows what she wants to do with her life..
