Other than as the Big Winner, the best and most memorable way to exit the house is to be either 1st or 4th.

I mean, those are the houseguests I will remember most vividly... The first, Mega, missed out on most of the show, while the fourth misses out on the money.

So, if you want Jamie to be famous, you should hope that she is banished on Wednesday. The 4th place finisher will have a lot of interviews...

No, the 4th place finisher will get the least interview time. Those who have gone out before have had a week or two weeks of time. The 4th banishee only gets 2 days before the final 3 come out together. If Jamie comes out on Wednesday chances are very good that she won't even make it on to the CBS morning show, unless they get her to NY for Friday's show - cause on Monday the winners will be on.

There is no question the absolute worst spot in terms of media attention is to go out in 4th place.

No, She is Infamous

Brittany, George and Eddie are always going to be more famous

The final three won't even get their own banishment show. It will be a reunion of the entire cast. The one out Wednesday will get his or her own highlights and also two extra days of attention before the show is over. If she plays her cards right, she could be out there pounding the pavement in Hollywood on "Finale Friday", which will be the biggest hype day of the show. Remember that Sean seems to have fared the best as far as entertainment career, and he was the last out before the Survivor finale.

BBchase... You are obviously a kidder.

Your posts are really funny. I love your facetiousness. Does everyone know what that means?

About 15 mins worth, as they say.

Ok, let's think back to CBS's really GOOD show this season. How much media attention did Rudy, Soozin, Kelly, or Richard get?

Compare that to the amount of air time that say, Stacy or Ramona got.

When you get right down to it, the American public has a very short attention span. From an interview / media attention aspect 4th place is about the same as 1st - 3rd.

But the real bummer is, you don't get any cash as well as not getting any air time.

Since BB said they have to have 24 hours of down time I don't think that Jamie will get much publicity. Monday on the early show will be the winners unless they have her join them which I doubt they could put her on Friday's show but after all let's be real about this they get maybe 5 min airtime unlike survivor had the panel first then they had about 15 min interview and longer. The early show barley mentions BB while survivor has been done to death on that show.

She had her two minutes with the director...so that leaves 13 more...Good luck Jamie...you are going to need it!

It will be interesting to see if they do squeeze her into the Early Show on Friday--to coincide with the hype (such that it will be) of Finale Friday. By Monday the hype will have died down. Whatever limelight there is will be reserved for first place, and there is no way that Jamie would get first. Other than not getting any money, I think Jamie going out fourth place is the best possible scenario for her.

I think she will get lots of media attention, mostly because she will have the largest single percentage of voters ousting her!

Negative fame? I guess any attention is good attention.

I also think that what Cass told them is more correct, that it's what work you do and who you get to know that will determine your fame after BB.

Whatever

Jamie has a tremendous career win if she is banished.

If banished, Jamie's full-length BB live show will be worth more to her than staying to the final show.

Jamie's visibility during the show will be higher than any of the final three winners, who must share their time three ways during one hour.

$50,000 or even $100,000 can't buy that much airtime in primetime.

Jamie has already been a standout among the houseguests,. if for no other reason than her appearance, she is often featured whenever houseguest photographs accompany printed articles.

Whatever

It is true that the 4th place finisher will have substantial media exposure from interviews.

The final show is CBS/producers last hurrah for viewership. More exposure in the days before the show will help increase ratings.

CBS has a strong incentive to use the 4th banishee to heavily promote the upcoming show.

I would love to see a documentary film maker follow Jamie for a year or so after she gets out of the house. She had such a vague, unrealistic view of her future acting career when she talked with Anthony Sepulveda, but she has had a lot of face time on BB and she's very ambitious. She has so much to learn. I hope we get to watch her follow her "passion" as she puts it.

The only "career" Jamie might have is if one of the Barker Beauties retires and she replaces them.
She would be perfect for the job!

Jamie is going to be used by the CBS PR machine to drum up viewerships for the show on Friday. If she can't have first place, fourth place is alot better for her than second or third place.

I initially thought this was going to be yet another I Hate Jamie thread. I am relieved it is not. After reading these posts, and pondering for a while, I think that the initiator of the thread is correct. There's something special about the 4th, but not the second or third. And she could use that to get more exposure, if she choosed to.

Jamie is all about the career, not the money. It has never been about the money. She definitely would fair better I think, if she were to leave on Wednesday.

If she thought about this, she might come up with it herself as well. Who knows, we may see a Redroom performance, directed in this endeavor.

Just my 2 sense.

Kavman--When I say 4th is better than 2nd or 3rd, I mean excluding the money and taking into account what Jamie wants. Those two days after the last banishment will be the biggest yet for publicity. They've already moved the finale from Saturday to Friday and dubbed it "Finale Friday."
Jamie is obviously more interested in the publicity than she is in the money. During those two extra days she could make lots of contacts. Of course it all depends on her playing her cards right. The window of opportunity is very small. If she can get it all together on Thursday and make the most of "Finale Friday", she can use the show as a springboard to Hollywood.
Of course, I think it would be wiser of her to go on to Yale for that MBA. Hopefully she'll keep her options open and she might wind up there in January.

Say what you want, but when Jamie is banished Wednesday, not only is she going to have a live interview on national television all to herself, but she will also be interviewed on the Early Show, ride around in a limousine, get a full salon treatment, and be recognized when she walks down the street! More power to her!

I think it'd pretty clear that she'll be the one banished on Wednesday
If Jamie can make the best out of 4th then i say good for her
Even though i disliked George i almost shed a tear during his interview with Julie and the dislike for him was gone, hope it will be the same with Jamie

Sometimes I think in all these reality game shows, the real "game" is who can win post-show celebrity. Wednesday night will definitely be "show-time" for Jamie, like she's never seen before. In the past three months, have we ever seen the "real" Jamie?

Regarding reality shows and women: I do think Women of Reality are subjected to a double standard. Mind you, I didn't care for most of BB's women but even that was because of what I consider to be sexist, stereotypical casting. In retrospect, consider which "Survivors" are the most popular. Even though Rich and Rudy played the alliance game to the max, they are beloved! But when it comes to women, the sweet "innocents" (Colleen and Jenna), who shunned alliances, are getting all the offers. All Kelly and Susan (the two female members of the Alliance) seem to be getting are offers to mud-wrestle each other on TV!

Jamie was more into the game (except maybe for Karen) than any other BB gal. Maybe she can mud-wrestle Kelly and Susan!

Isn't Fame also somewhat up to the public???

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