Did Jack just throw HOH?
Karuuna | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 09:51 am     Thanks, Mademoiselle for adding your perspective. I agree that Jack just made a mistake. For one thing, I do remember seeing him in the Diary Room on one of the TV shows recently lamenting how he hadn't won any of the competitions yet, and saying that he was going to continue to do his best. With the jury sequestered, there would be no reason for him to lie in his Diary Room entry about trying to win. So I do believe he wanted to win, and he's mentally kicking himself. I'm mentally kicking him too, since he's my favorite, and I really wanted him to win!  |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 11:38 am     I'd still like to hear from those thinking he through the competition what he gains from it, AND given the way he missed the first question, why he would be so obvious about it. He has nothing to gain by throwing it, compared to what he has to lose--and being obvious negates ANYTHING gained. |
Outlawout | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 11:42 am     Having now "outed" myself as a Bears fan in another thread, it suddenly dawns on me where my tremendous reaction to Jack's loss comes from. Being a Jack fan is JUST like being a Bears fan. (Or a Cubs fan, except the Cubs actually have a chance this September) |
Jagger | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 12:10 pm     I think that in his mind he feels save this week so he continued to act poorly in the competitions, to show the others he is not a theat, that he is not one of the strong players. He keeps saying they need to get rid of the strong players, the ones that win the competitions, so he keeps losing. I am hoping he is really that dumb and bad at competitions, that way he will continue to be an easy target for when they do get the strong players out. |
Draheid | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 12:14 pm     I'm still wondering how much of his answer was based on the context of the rules given by Julie. That being, "I'm going to read you a statement from a questionaire that you all filled out prior to coming into the house." Or possibly he confused the question as being relevant to his observations of Alison since being in the house without regard to the explanation of the rules. I suppose it could be either of these. JMO - FWIW |
Realtvfan | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 12:17 pm     We may need to submit some questions to the producers to help ensure that Jack wins the next HOH or Jack will be going to Sequesterville. Something such as HOH questions: a) Which past or present BB HG has less sex appeal than a buzzard's crotch? b) Name 5 songs by Elvis in 10 seconds that you are not allowed to sing in the BB house kitchen. Tie Breaker Question, if somehow miraculously a tie-breaker question is needed: c) What name did J Edgar Hoover use to describe prison? Hint: The Bi_ House. |

That's the true Cub's fan spirit, jump on those early August standings and get your hopes up. Cubs versus Red Sox World Series ! |
Bob2112 | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 01:59 pm     Yay! Cubs! |
Cricket | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 03:26 pm     Thanks for the response Pantageas. I forgot that that other side will put the ex'es up first; thereby extending Jun's stay in the house. I'm still confused as to whether Jack threw the comp. At one point he said it was stupid he lost because he prob would be on the block and then later he and Erika were congratulating themselves for being where they were without win HOH and that laying low was the way to go. I like Jack, but he just doesn't seem to be able put his great thoughts into action when the appropriate chance comes along. |
Mzcruella | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 03:34 pm     If I were Jack & Erika, I'd feel I *had* to win HoH. Don't they know Ali is teetering back & forth between the two groups (I thought I'd read Nate knew and had filled J&E in on it)?!?!? My feelings were it had to be Jack, Erika or Nate winning HoH to make sure J or E didn't go up on the block this week, and I feel they should know this by now themselves. I was dumbstruck and crestfallen when Jack was eliminated...sigh.... |
Lurknomore | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 03:41 pm     Lancecrossfire asked: "I'd still like to hear from those thinking he through the competition what he gains from it, AND given the way he missed the first question, why he would be so obvious about it." Read my response that I posted earlier in the Is Jack Really that Smart thread at ../10972/1096120.html?1060291405 I posted a few times (hey there's a shock eh?! lol). The one I'm referring to is the 11:35 am post. That sums up my feelings on what is going on with Jack and why I think he did throw it. Who knows why he gave up so soon...to appear completely a non-threat in comps? Dunno... |
Costacat | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 06:13 pm     Interestingly, Jun and Alison were just talking about Jack. And they both very much believe he threw the HOH competition yesterday. Jun said that Dana had said many times that she was OCD. |

Rabbit | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 07:12 pm     Housekeeping, droppings clean up at 6:40pm in this thread please. No need to be embarrassed Crossfire, I have had that same accident a couple of times in Adven's member folder for some reason. |

Costacat | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 07:42 pm     Costacat is taking back the bellinis served to her mom since her mom isn't glad that SHE'S posting! |
John32070 | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 10:27 am     Madamoiselle, I hope since you are so close to Jack (you the still living with ex wife??) you will suggest to him to come here once he is home in Sept and I strongly hope that he would interact with us here. So far only BB2's Kent has been here as well as his own site, there has also been BB2's Sheryl's son who has posted here and I think Nicole's husband may have been here at one time too. Here's hoping Erika wins Veto and takes Jack off (it will put Alison up, but I think most are getting tired of her anyway). |
Costacat | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 10:36 am     LOL... poor Jack. Most unflattering camera shot on cams 1 and 4: head back, mouth open, snoozing loudly. Whoops, just woke himself up! |
Lurknomore | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 10:38 am     Oh we had more than that John...Merrit, <> Josh's girlfriend was here, Jason's brother last year came by, assorted other friends, and who knows who is out there lurking And yes Nicole's hubby posted for awhile till folks got on him too much about Nicole and he ran for his life. But I agree it would be nice if he (and David) came by. BTW didn't Erika say something about not using the POV to save Jack if she gets it? Thought I read that here but wouldn't swear on it. It's certainly what I'd like to see happen, especially after Nate's good pitch to the Stooges yesterday. cw |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 08:50 pm     Based on everything Jack said to others and in the DR, the answer to the question about throwing the HOH comp is NO! He amde it clear in every situation that he was going for the win and was bothered he blew it. |
