Jack used to be my favorite. He was really funny with his one-liners. He cracked me up. But now, after tonight's HOH competition with the balls, I am tired of watching him throw competition after competition, after competition. You can TELL he didn't want to roll that ball! It was SO obvious to me. I immediately went, "you got to be kidding me Jack!" I am so tired of seeing him play the weakling, especially knowing Erika needed him to win it. To be a great undercover agent, you NEED to seem non-threatening. You NEED to appear almost invisible in a high stress situation. You hardly know Jack is there playing. I guess it's good for him, but disappointing to constantly see him act stupid. I see him walking out the door soon. That stuff just gets old after awhile.

There is a bit of a contradiction in your argument. If it is in fact good for Jack as you seem to argue, then he did the right thing.

Personally, I think he was trying for a delicate just over the rim throw, and he also probably knew the second it left his hand that he blew it. I know the feeling, when bowling I pretty much know how a throw is going to go the second it leaves my hand and try as I might, they don't all go how I want them to.

Sigh--his ball just missing not getting over the raised ring. If it had, it woudl have had a decent chance of being at least as close as jee's ball to the hole.

So, you are saying he is so good at rooling those balls he could take a chance being that close to getting inside the circle, as oopsed to roolling it too hard so it would go over for sure?

I don't buy that as a likely way to go about it because of the likelyhood he could have won (assuming he was trying ot throw it)

No matter how you look at it, Jack takes a greater chance not being HOH than he does by controling the nominations. At this point he isn't going ot piss off anyone he nominates---especially the J2 guys--they know they are targets and expect to be nominated if they didn't win.

Yeah....but that could be a brilliant strategy and it's already working!!! Finally smart Robert figured out that it's not Jack who should go but....yes, you guessed it, Erika because he thinks she's a better player than Jack, and never mind their sweet deal they just made to protect each other till the end. Robert said it's cool to lie and that's what he was doing, lying to her face.

I just wonder if goofball Jack got wind of this even before the HOH comp but never told Erika. Meanwhile Erika was so ready to dump Jack... well, that's BB for ya!

Remember, one of Will Kirby's greatest accomplishments was doofing out on all competitions. He found great joy is blowing each one and still managed to make everyone believe he was no threat.

Remember Erika told Julie, in the house it's war. You don't really think she would keep her promise to Robert.

Ugh, whether Jack threw it or not, I could care less. However, I'm officially tired of watching him in the game. He just blathers on and on and on. Like just now, talking to Erika. It's like he's on some mission or something. LOL! I can't take listening to him any longer, he just grates on my. I'd rather be pushed up and down a cheese grater than listen to Jack any longer. I can just hear what he's going to say to Jee. "Good job Jee. You're an excellent player Jee. Very smart Jee." Ick!

Oh geez. Another Jack/Will comparison. Please, please stop!

Kale... she spent half the show tonight telling us it's time she changed her game and go with those who offer more....than Jack. Too bad she "still" doesn't know Robert very well...

Crossfire, I said it was good for Jack, BUT disappointing to constantly see him act stupid. His strategy is working for him, but I'm tired of seeing him play the dumb, "old guy" who can't do anything. It's getting old.

Crossfire

She could do that, and I also think (or would like to see) Jack might be able to wiggle in with Jee. For whatever reason they seem more compatible to me than Jee and Robert.

Wendo--I can respect that at least. You would rather have a lot of things happen than to have to watch Jack any more. It sounds like you came up with a solution that would work well for those that don't want to watch him--stop watching him.:)

excuse me!! I was just saying that Will didn't win any competitions either and that was his stategy..I'm really tiring of this board this year.

Heh, the only think he needs to do, is keep his butt planted in the house. Whatever works I say. Having said that, I don't think he is playing stupid, he is just not getting any lucky breaks.

After watching Jack tonight I now believe he is doing a Will. His goal is to look as non threatening in the game as possible, and it's working. Nothing wrong with that strategy His only problem is Jun and Ali is not that crazy about Jack, and I do think if he goes up against Erika this week and he don't get the veto, he will be out.

Earthmother, I don't think you were comparing Will to Jack as being the same, just their strategies. They are similar. Will threw all the competitions just like Jack is doing. Good observation on your part.

Misslibra

Great observation on Earthmother's part, and I agree. It's a wonder the HG's have not said among themselves that Jack is doing a Will.

Earthmother

You may be right Misslibra, but Jee was really miffed at Erika for putting him in the position of not using the veto last week. Given his allience with Jun and Robert as his stooge (lol)he may be able to convince them that Erika should go. Not to mention Jack's been blowing a lot of smoke up his bum about being FBI material and we all know Jee enjoys the attention.

as the "old guy" in the house, anyone know how much longer he has lasted than the other bb's? most of the others went at least a couple of weeks before jack didn't they?

I don't know Earthmother Ali and Jun are not that crazy about Robert either. And Jun and Ali might realize Jee may be HOH be we have the power and vote out Jack just because Robert wanted Erika out.

I think Chicken George got down to the final 5...I could be wrong. I can't remember if he went before or after Cassandra.

thanks Willsfan. as much as i've enjoyed past bb's its funny how you forget these things.

I'm hoping Jack and Erika survive, but it's not looking so good. At this point I would just be happy if Ali went to visit Nate, Dana and Justin...what a welcome she would get huh??? lol

Kalekona

Spunky - She does stand a better chance with Robert and Jee than with Jack. Jack has done nothing but talk.
In truth Jee. Jun and Ali are the strongest players right now with erika coming in fourth.
