........But I just wish he was more of a leader instead of a follower.......but if he took too much of a lead I guess they would see him as a threat! Good guy though.

Not me. I like my men with brains, brawn(s), and b@lls. He has good intentions, but he still bores me to a yawn. Maybe it's his youth. (Give him the bene here.)

Not only do I like Jee more and more, but (don't shoot me for it!!!) I'm getting to like the J3 more and more!!! They sure are not worse than Aly!!! Their only fault is that they came after the others!!

Once Dana is gone, the J3 alliance will cool off and we will get to like them more and more I think. Justin and Jee are both likable on their own. Robert may be questionable, but I think he may be hiding some redeemable qualities as well.

I am shocked at myself.. Jun is still my fav but the Jee-3 have grown on me. Erika irritates the bejeezus out of me, Jack the negotiator isn't doing all that well, Ali and Nate are boring brats..

Robert and Jee have been very supportive of each other. Justin is a bit more questionable. Jee and Jun also support each other and actually Jun and Robert do, too.

They certainly presented him in a great light tonight...and I do think he all in all an ok guy. BUT I still remember how he handled himself as HoH (which says a lot about a person). Remember how pompous and arrogant he was.

Basically he impresses me as an ok standup guy but pretty boring. I think BB producers see the strength of the J3 so they are trying to really build them up and make them fan favs, since there is currently no one to really root for (cept Jack in my book).

But look how good they made Robert look tonight. BLEACH as I said in another thread.

I think Jee is so cocky . Do you think Nathan is gay/ I didn't like the comment about Jee that Nathan said.

Jee3 were not threatened this week. They were in the driver's seat, with all sides wanting Dana to go. Less need for drama('cept for Jun & Dana).

It was good that they relaxed and supported each other, as Seamonkey says.

I just watched Jee's ceremony for his father and am in TEARS. What a neat thing! I like the way Jee was shown this week both with Justine and the ceremony. I'm liking him more and more.

Katbee, that's how I felt watching it on live feeds.

The name of this thread gave me chuckle, because a few weeks ago, when Jee was HOH, I started a thread called "Is Jee really so bad?" I pointed out that, in spite of the power going to his head, I didn't think he was such a bad guy. I thought that when his reign as HOH was over, more people would start to like him. At the time, I didn't have many buyers into my theory.

It is kind of a fascinating look at how power (even power like being HOH in a game) can change a person and affect how they conduct themselves.

He is okay...his downfall to me is he just goes with what everyone else does. If they are bad mouthing people soooo does Jee. He just goes with the crowd. I think out of the Jee3's I can tolerate him more. Grow a spine please.....

I dont agree with that assessment. Jee has spent a lot of time today with Dana and even last night when the other exes were trashing her Jee was saying to them you cant fault her for that.

He was very sympathetic with her even to the point that Jun was getting annoyed and calling him names as she went by him while he was playing with Dana. Jee has definitely, in my view come out of his shell and is more independent.

I think he is a genuinely nice guy who just doesnt want to be a part of any mean activities towards someone. He always seems to try to find the good in everyone. I just dont get what he sees in Robert.

When everyone was trashing Ali, Jee was right there with them chiming in also. He did not have any good things to say about her. With Dana I guess he has some loyalty to her so maybe that is why he didn't trash her. I don't think he sees anything good in the "dark side". Yes, he is loyal to the people he likes I'll give him that but he is not beyond trashing people and seeing the good in them...

Yeah I agree Maris--I could like the G3 if not for Robert.I mean all nose picking aside-I just don't like that guy for some reason.

I agree with Maris.
And especially after tonight, how can you not like Jee?

Ok, I'll say it. I like Jee. "Like" being a relative term, of course. I guess what I mean is that Jee has more redeeming qualities than any of the other HG's IMHO.

Jee provides more comic relief on the feeds than any other HG with the possible exception of Jack.

Hey - someone had to replace Dave.

However, I can't forget his behaviour as HOH, and I sense a bit of a 'tude when it comes to "his girl."

Maris

Yep Thunder, that is the only thing I have reservations about. When he says "my girl" he sure isnt sounding Smokey Robinsonish.

sorry, I still don't like him or his masculine superiority attitude

The ceremony was very touching. And I like how he takes Justin's "teasing" (which I find to be annoying and in poor taste) so good naturedly. He seems very devoted to his girlfriend and manages to maintain a tenuous friendship with everyone in the house, even his ex, Jun, who initially treated him like a piece of tortise excrement.

I don't, though, like that he smokes even though that's what killed his father. I don't like that he seems to have a very old-fashioned attitude about male-female roles. And I don't like the way he seems to follow along with whoever seems the strongest (although that's probably his strategy more than a character issue).

Overall, I think Jee would probably be a really good guy to have for a friend. :)

I'm sure that even those we delight in despising have qualities that, when shown to advantage, make them likeable. Who wouldn't have some warm feeling about someone being shown paying tribute to his dead father? These people are not monsters, even though some may try our patience. So, it's not surprising to occasionally find something we like about them. There may even be something about Dana to like!

I agree with Maris. I also think Jee has a kinder heart, that forbids him to hurt others for pleasure.
I don't have LFs, I have not watch my tape of tonight's show yet, so I may be a bit off. But I think the HOH power trip was onset by his own experience while on the block. When he was first nomed, he was nervus and insequre even though Nate and the house kept giving him assurance. Then he was in total awe to find out "how things work" in the BB house(wasn't it 8-0 for him to stay?). He really believed that the HOH had absolute say of whom s/he'd want to kick out. He's witnessed the way those girls worshiped Nate.... he thought all affairs will run exactly the way they did in Nate's reign...respect HOH's wishes and crap. Remember, being Jun's X, he is one of those who did not apply, he's probably also never "wasted time watching a stupid show like that"--to quaote "all" my Asian friends.
So, I don't think he behaved awful during his HOH term. At the most, his naiveness was in our full view.

In my eyes, I see a fatherless young Asian trying very hard to fit in. At this moment in his life, he happens to view Nate, Jus. and Robert as being in the main stream. He is a follower for now, who could say what he might become later? I've watched my own little brother went through it. Our father is still alive, just "over" the continent and "over" the ocian. You guys probably do not realize how very much younger an Asian person's inner age could be, and how long it might take for one to wise up in this culture. (that statement doesn't sound totally right, but it'll do for now.)

I've liked Jee from the first episode. The way he tried talking to Jun and being nice to her right away showed he has character. What he sees in Robert is someone who excepted him from the beginning. Just like kids starting a new school.. the ones that except you are the ones you hang out with.

Jee is great. I am finding that I like him more and more. When he first came on the show I couldn't help but think "ugh", but it shows that first impressions can be misleading. He seems like a decent guy with a sense of humor, who doesn't seem to take things too personally. Amazing.
