Jee is not so bad when he is not all arrogant about being HoH. But to me there is still the taint of Robert. Robert's bitterness towards Erika is clouding everything - there are larger targets they should be concentrating on.

Totally agree with the HOH situation. He was hard to take those days but now has become a little more likeable. The surprise vote was probably pretty humbling. I think he (with Jun's help)will sneak up to the final four.

I wonder if the term "head of household" might have given Jee some sort of cultural misinterpretation of the role. It seems to me that in Asian culture, the "head of household" is regarded in a way that far surpasses it's status in an American Reality TV show. While I found his constant "I put my life on the line..." and "I have worked VERY hard..." annoying, they were phrases that almost brought to mind a literal "head of household" in a very patriarchal society. Just a thought.....

LOVE my Jee! He's like an asian Butt-Head, truly hilarious, not to mention HOT!

Wanted to give him a big hug last night.

I like Jee. Hope he wins. Regarding the HOH going to his head - seems this is true with *every* HGs who becomes HOH... and the vast majority of BB's HGs are *ahem* non-Asians. Sudden power breeds sudden arrogance - it comes quickly and (hopefully) leaves just as fast. I didn't see his reaction to power as different or worse than most - one might even say a lot nicer than say... Dana or Allison.

Of the Jee/3 I like him best...but he is certainly not on the top of my favorite's list. The week he was HOH I kept flashing back to "The Godfather"....he was entertaining but not hopefull to win IMO.

Bcandscott, I think you've made a very insightful comment, re Jee's interpretation of the HOH position, and I can see exactly what you mean.

The one thing that bothers me about Jee is his traditional attitude towards women, and I'm not so sure that they could be eradicated by 'the right woman'. The mores that one grows up with are the most entrenched, in my experience, and I'd expect Jee's to stay the same too.
That said, he does have a good nature underneath the bombast, so I like him more than I did anyway!

"Traditional" attitudes about women? Nope... unless the woman also has those same traditional attitudes, I would suggest she run fast and far away! You cannot change someone who was raised from the womb to believe that women are [there to serve their man/be pregnant and in the kitchen/be subservient/insert your own]. And do not forget the mother-in-law you'd have with a man who is this traditional.

My opinions!

And Costacat is wondering whether Earthmom has a horse's head stashed away in case we get "Godfather Part II" in the future?

Maybe Carmen likes the "traditional woman" role.
just a thought and maybe there is an honor and respect that these "traditional" roles have that those on the outside could not see.

At first, I wasn't too crazy about Jee,thought he was kinda boring. But, I really like him a lot now. He seems really nice. I am hoping that he wins!!! :)

Justa, that's exactly what I said... *she* has to have those same traditional attitudes.

Justa, (your 8:20 post, I was distracted, hope I still make sense.) it's like arranged marrige.
That system has worked and is still working in some parts of the world for probably hundreds of generations. But once the younger ones learned or were exposed to some better ways, it's hard to turn the whole tide back.(My parents had to have a family revolution in order to gain the freedom to find their own mates, and they almost wanted to arrange mine!)

I'm pretty sure Jee's mother won't even aproove of Carman. Perhaps even told him that it'd be okay to keep her around as a play thing, but never married to my house! If it's nessasary, she'll just cry and bring up Jee's father. He's the only son! (Why do you suppose most of the children [especially healthy ones]allowed to be adopted from Korea or China are girls?)

So, I do believe Jee is that traditional and will try to flex his muscles whenever he could. But somehow I could see beyond that and start to like him. And in real life I usaully do walk around Korean men for reasons I've stated before.

I liked Jee the most earlier, but not anymore. I still like him, yet not as much as before. He's funny, though. LMAO! I guess the house sees him kind of like the baby of the house, except a male version. I really wouldn't mind if Jee won. Sorry to say though, the nice guys from past BBs always came third or fourth. So, it doesn't look too good for Jee.

Hope it works for his real gf and him, as he does seem sincere.

I just can't seem to change my mind about him. I guess it's a gulity by association type of thing. If he wins, I wouldn't be too disappointed but I really don't want Robert, Justin or Ali to win but that wish is not looking too good. I agree with whoever said they(the producers) make him look good during the show but on the feeds he has an arrogant attitude as his buddies which is a turn off.

JMO - of course
