I am wondering why Jamie doesn't go into the pool. She claims to get hot out there, she'll tan, even with Curtis there. She could get in the pool without too much problem without being seen going in with her shirt on, till about thigh level. I think it's more than just the vanity thing.

She stated yesterday, that her hair takes 2 hours to dry. Well, it gets wet when she washes it, so what's the difference? Here it is 12:25 pm, she's tanning with Curtis, she's hot, sweaty, ...and instead of going into the pool, she goes in to wet-down in the shower. WHAT is the deal?

We can't see her in the shower. That's why.

But Rufus, as I pointed out, she is already laying there tanning. We do see her. And, she could get into the pool, modestly. Am I missing something?

Its all about her make-up washing off in the pool.

If you look at where she is sunbathing, you will see that she is partially obscured from the camera by a plant. She believes that this is a blindspot where she can get a bit of privacy. That's why she slips her shirt on before she stands up. Jamie has still not gotten it into her head that any mirror in the backyard wall may also have a camera behind it. By hiding in the particular location, ironically, the cameras get a rather blatant shot of her cleavage. If she only knew.

Oh, how could I have forgot??? dumb me! I remember now....when they did the pool basketball challenge. She was constantly asking Brit and Karen, how her make-up was doing, on a minute to minute basis.

Maybe the water in the pool is too hot. It is excruciatingly hot in L.A. today (thank God for air-conditioning!). Jamie could get some ice cubes out of the fridge and drop them in the pool, but that probably wouldn't do much good. She's probably fleeing to the shower to not only get relief but to also keep the iciness in her veins nice and chilly.

She'll have her make-up wash off, and the chlorine from the pool will dry out and turn her hair green.

I am not sure George would go for Jamie using the icecubes. Afterall, he may need them for his next costume/project. Who knows, maybe he has figured out how to turn cubes into heat, and is planning on using the cubes for blasting himself off into outerspace.

I think those that said it has to do with her makeup and hair are correct. In the shower she's obscured from the cameras and fellow housemates, while if she were to get in the pool, she would be in full view of every camera between the backyard and the bathroom, as well as all of her housemates. She was on the verge of having a fit the other day when BB called them all to the backyard just as she was starting to rinse her hair in the bathroom sink. She does not want to appear on camera with undone hair and/or face.

Maybe she thinks the boys pee in the pool.

Maybe they do.

Even if not, who takes care of keeping the chemicals balanced in the pool? I wouln't get in the pool either if it's not cared for properly - otherwise it's just like someone elses bath water.

'Maybe the water in the pool is too hot."

They usually say it is cold. The pool is unheated and during one of the challenges, they commented on it being so cold they didn't even want to get in. I don't what it is like right now. I think Josh is the one that takes care of the pool and I think everyone is right about the makeup, hair getting messed up.

Has anyone ever actually seen Jamie washing the make-up off of her face? Does she get out of the shower and immediately sit down in front of her little mirror or does she apply new make-up over old make-up?

It's difficult to tell since she hides her face with her hair until she applies the next coat. Britt said she never saw Jamie without her makeup.

The only thing I've been able to come up with is that she may get up at 5 am or so, and wash the old off. Then put new on, when she gets up. Oh, she's a "woman of mystery" that jaiME!

"and her hair not having that special swing and flip quality we all love- "

Back when I was in junior high, I had hair as long as Jamie's. I was always flipping it out of my way, until one day I realized that classmates were making fun of me by mock-flipping the air. Hey, I just wanted the hair out of my face.

Junior-high pettiness is alive and well...

Jamie is not visible without her makeup, thus nobody has ever "seen her" without it... :)

Jamie is obviously afraid of her makeup running or coming completely off.
Several years ago I had some chemical face peeling to help remove a scar and I was uptight for months about going near a pool as my makeup was the only thing that hid the redness.
I know only too well how it is to be insecure and paranoid of the old makeup.
Thing is...I grew out of it. I don't think JaiME ever will.
I would bet my firstborn child that even if she thought she were having a heart attack, JaiME would check her makeup before calling the ambulance.

<Hey, I just wanted the hair out of my face.>

Ever hear of a ponytail? Or shorter hair? How about pins, berrets, etc.? The point is that vanity is a major part of her character just like many women with long hair. If it really bothered her that much she would do something about it.

I now understand why Jamie always slips out from doing dishes,when she does do them she does them half-a**ed and only Eddie call's her on it & then she slips away AGAIN.

Tootseug - Could she not just twist it up and clip it? (Have we ever seen her with her hair up?) Also, we are not talking swimming underwater, just a quick dip up to her shoulders (no reason to wet her face or hair if she chooses not to). FYI - it gets rather chilly overnight there and whatever heat has built up during the day dissipates pretty quickly.
