Jamie feels she and Eddie need the money most
Snogrl | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 01:50 am  Tonight on the live feeds Eddie told Jamie he felt it was going to be either him or her to be banished on Wednesday. Jamie said it doesn't matter. But then she went on to speculate on different voting scenarios. Jamie said she hopes it is not her or Eddie because they both need the money the most. This doesn't square with Jamie telling Curtis (during the dance challenge) that she began investing in the stock market (through a successful former boyfriend) at 18 and she has stock in lots of companies. She said she has done really well and was so glad she started so young. This doesn't mean her financial future is set but how can this possibly compare with Josh. He seemed grateful to be getting the $350/week. |
Katie | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 01:57 am  Josh is an engineer. He is bright and he will make a lot of money. That is a given. With Jamie she is attempting a very difficult career where she has little chance. As much as she has been cut to ribbon her and in the media already, I don't see how she can. |
Snogrl | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 02:03 am  Katie, Jamie is bright also. She has already made money, with the potential to make far more than Josh through her entertainment aspirations or at least equal if she does go back to get her masters at the ivy league school. Josh has a year before he graduates from college. |
Kuh | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 03:51 am  Snogrl - Since you haven't seen Jamie's portfolio, it is silly to speculate on her finances and her need for the money. None of these people needs the money, IMO, they are all going to be or are college educated with much potential for future earnings. It does seem that Eddie is the only HG who has made it clear that he is needy, but I think that's probably been exaggerated, too. |
Something | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 06:24 am  Who cares? It is what she thinks/feels. What makes her views any less important than ours? |
Irish | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 06:42 am  It doesn't make her views any less important. But over the last 80 something days I've just learned to take her views with a grain of salt. |
Max | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 06:54 am  She needs the money to finance her "dream" of working in the entertainment industry. She realizes that most folks who start down that path don't make much, if any, money for quite a while. She could go back to graduate school and her business major and end up making lots of money in business, but that's not what she wants to do. I admire her for pursuing her dream. If she's not successful, she has lots of skills (presumably) to fall back on. She needs to at least make an effort to take the road less traveled and see what happens. At the same time, I agree with others here that need isn't what is making the final decision for me. It's a combination of a lot of other things. Her "aisle walk" on Wednesday might work out best for her career aspirations anyway. If she stayed for the final 3 and then didn't win, she might not get as much individual interview time as being the last one out before the money round. Hard to tell. |
Lindahntx | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 09:06 am  I think she's just wanting the pity vote. Knows a lot about the internet, therefore, knows people are watching the live feeds, so she's telling me not to boot her. If you notice, CBS is showing you what they want you to see on the shows: Josh doing the naked trampline, Eddie talking about losing his leg to cancer, Jamie worrying over the banners, Curtis being his bright and cheerful self. They basically tell the viewers who to pick by what they show. Not everyone has access to live feeds to view for themselves. About Jamie's financial security, she's stated more than once she doesn't need the money. Just one more ploy she has up her sleeve now. And watching the polls, too late honey. |
Lafatme | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 04:12 pm  one more comment about one more "ploy" why is it when you like someone they have a PLAN and when you don't they have a PLOY? i guess for the same reason that politicians that you like have FRIENDS while those you don't like have CRONIES. (the "you" refers to society, not any one in particular) |
Solos | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 04:26 pm  Yeah Jamie needs the money to take the trip at to Vegas....She brought it up,thats all she talks about and it seems to me that if you are that concerned about money ,you wouldn't be planning a trip to Vegas and offering to pay the plane fair for the other hgs.How is it Jamie stated she was only there for the experience? Now it is the need for the money? Please she has student loans to pay and hasn't even contributed to the house or to the entertainment of the show.Another Jamie plastic moment. Eddie has said he needs to get back to school,he won't be going to Vegas. Curtis is going to try and get his move done and get a little more time off from his job(in hopes he still has his job in LA.) Josh said he hopes to go,but will have to see how things work out. |
Curtandeddie | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 04:52 pm  I don't believe Jamie needs the money more than Eddie. That's my personal opinion. While there are things I like and dislike about Jamie, I have to say I really do admire her for following her dream of becoming an actress. Then that leads me to ponder, does she want to be an 'actress' or just a celebrity? Don't know. Does anyone know if she studied drama in school? No matter, she will probably be banished tomorrow and I wish her the best of luck in all she pursues. |
Tootseug | Tuesday, September 26, 2000 - 11:32 pm  She said she has not studied drama. She stated that a friend of hers who is in Hollywood, said it was a waste of time, and to just move there. I hear what you are saying about being an actress/vs/celebrity. Hummm....I wonder I have my opinion, but it is only an opinion, so I'll remain, mum... |
Kalihiwahine | Wednesday, September 27, 2000 - 03:46 am  Solos...maybe Jamie will NEED the money... I happened to be watching the live feed at the time Jamie talked about the winner should "still" pay for trip to Vegas...did you notice that only George agreed to her statement...then she said "I'll pay for it. Besides, 10, grand is nothing compared to what you win." ..so wouldn't one conclude that maybe she WILL need the money..[I think Curtis was on the ball though when he posed his question] ..see partial posting of live feed below: Cookie Tuesday, September 19, 2000 - 04:50 pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4:18 Cu ja jo in backyard, sitting quietly. Ed laying down. very silent. very still. Ed drags himself upright: Safe to say, I'll not be sponsoring exercise equipment when I get outta here. Goes inside. Jo and Cu joke about lazy time. Lazy time with pug, lazy time with eddie, with ge, etc. They're trying to figure out who the camera is on, ja or cu. Ja still not saying anything. Jo and ja leaning back in the red patio chairs with feet on chairs in front of them. silence again . Jamie looks a little sad, sometimes wrinkles her brow. ...... ............. ....... .......... JA: I still say, whoever wins still pays for vegas. Ge: I can do that. JA: whoever of us four here who wins... CU: for everything though? JA: no, just airfare and three nights. CU: you'll spend more than 10,000. JA: no...just airfare and three rooms for ten. That's 3000. And only 6 or 7 will go anyway. So, it's cheap. I'll pay for it. Besides, 10, grand is nothing compared to what you win. __________________________________________________ ...so this could be the reason she told eddie that she needs the money (p.s. also I think she was planning on sharing her winnings with George...fans, this is NOT a note against Jamie...I wish her success in whichever path she decides to follow) |
