I have been saying it for weeks, the person to compare Jack to is Ensign Pulver.

I don't think that Jack threw the competition. I think this was just another rigged one.

For some reason it was important to the producers that Jee won again. This was another carnival side show type of event. The game was not played bocce ball style, like it is in Italy or in Central park in New York. Bocce is usually played on a hard, level surface of packed dirt, something very easy to construct. It is a game with standard rules. It is very easy to learn and it is very difficult, if not impossible, to cheat. For their game they created a specially constructed platform, but not one that made for a more interesting game. It just added a level of complexity to the course that was not necessary. Using a regulation Bocce course would have created a fair game without a chance for any producer manipulation.

You simply would not need a platform unless there was a need to have some way to control the balls. Those balls most likely had steel cores. Probably, underneath the platforms were very strong electromagnets. The winner and the losers, in my opinion, were determined by the way the electro magnets were tripped.

Yo Lance! Did you hear the quick convo between Jee, Robert and Ali? Apparently, Robert and Jee want to put up Jack and Erika with Erika as the target. There reason for not making Jack their target? Because he doesn't "win" anything. He chokes, gets nervous, etc.

So, if he IS throwing competitions, it appears to be working for him. (Of course, POV could change things.) Like I said, no way to know for sure. It's a risky tactic, but it can work.

Always with the kind words Maris--always.

Some of Jacks fans have never compared him to Will--I know I haven't and don't see and way it could be done.

I noticed Jack's ball just missed making it over the raised ring--it was VERY close. Are you saying Jack is good enough with that game ot be that precise on missing making it over that ring?

Lance, Ensign Pulver was one of my favorite characters in Mr. Roberts. He was full of big plans that never came off. That is exactly what Jack has done in this game. Besides, calling someone an ensign Pulver doesnt even come close to some of the things said about other HGs on this board.

Jack isn't throwing the games, he just can't play them.

Look, Erika has only won one game (an endurance competition) that either Jack or Erika could have taken. Jun only one one game (and damn did you see how fast she did it?) why aren't we accussing them of throwing? Just because someone needs to win doesn't mean they will win!

FBI does not equal Superman. In fact Jack is more like inspector Klutzo--stumbling onto the avenues he needs to advance.

The FBI has all sorts, just like every profession.

Jack fans face it--Jack's stregnth is in his verbal not his agility/physical/mental.

P.S. Jack is my favorite player! I don't say these things to degrade him, but to defend him.

i don't believe he threw every comp, nor do i believe he tried hard at each. this has been the story for just about everyone who has ever been on BB. HG's pick and choose what is important to win, knowing you become a target. what's new?
