Kappy | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 08:07 pm     Okay, I like this guy. I know it has alot to do with my age, AHEM, but I think he's doing good so far considering the age of everyone else there. He looked mighty scared when they told them the news of ex's coming in. It made realize that at his age, there could have been a few. I'm going to call him AKA Clint. It's the fact that he's so tall and thin and has that low voice. Everytime he speaks, I think Eastwood.  |
Caroline | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 08:32 pm     Well, I'm in the middle of the show -- Seattle time -- and I really like this guy also. I'm a 'boomer' so he's close to my age but regardless he looks like a smart, adept, and well groomed fella... |
Angelbleu | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 08:43 pm     I'm a boomer too. For a guy his age he doesn't stick out like a sore thumb the way George, Jerry and Kent did...he seems like a likeable guy. I like his voice. |
Caroline | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 08:55 pm     And he just sits back and listens, observes, then comments if appropriate...you can her the wheels a'turin... |
Niceguy | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 11:33 pm     I like Jack but I just think the younguns are going to gang up on him. He's seems to be waaay too sharp for this. He can't call back up that's for sure. He does know how to bland in and not seem like a threat. I sure am going to enjoy how he handles someone like Robert who I sense is a major button pusher. |
John32070 | Wednesday, July 09, 2003 - 08:43 am     After just the first show, I have to say he's the only one I like so far. I think he has the edge in this thing because even those who didn't have ex's come in are going to be busy hooking up or helping to get rid of them first. I have a good feeling Jack will be the first of the older BB guys to make it to the final 4, just on the basis that he'll be ignored til then. |
Hobbs | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 11:18 am     I was watching and listening to Jack this morning (BB Time). From the back he looks like Adam West (TV's Batman) and he has the same low voice. I'm waiting for hime to say, "To the Bat Poles Boy Wonder!" Not meant to be a slam. I didn't know where else to put this comment so I put it here. |
Att3 | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 11:44 am     I like Jack and I'm only 24. But I think they will want him out as soon as the ex's are gone. There's just something about him. I feel kind of bad for him though. At least what I'm watching this morning. He's just sitting at the table saying a few things to Erica when she walks by but he just looks so lonely. And maybe that's just me. This is the first time for live feeds so I'm very new to this. |
Hobbs | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 01:07 pm     Its tough being the old guy. You don't want to force yourself in with the "kids", because that could turn them off. You also don't want to completely withdraw, because then they think of you as an outsider. I think he is playing it right. Just sit back, join in the conversations when appropriate, and help out as much as you can. |
Caroline | Thursday, July 10, 2003 - 09:46 pm     I agree, Hobbs...it is a delicate balance he's playing and for awhile he should be ok as long as he doen't win any/many competitions IMO... |
Angelbleu | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 08:45 am     Isn't it refreshing to have an older guy that they seem to respect. They are not bad mouthing him about his looks, his clothes, his athletic ability or his hygenine (sp) habits. |
Justin42 | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 10:48 am     That'll come in time, don't worry... :/ As soon as he gives them a reason, however small, to think of him as an outcast, they will... Unless something big happens soon and switches the power away from the younger hamsters.. it's too bad, cause I really like him and think he brings a quiet dignity to this show that it's never had before... |
Kira33 | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 06:13 pm     Watching Jack makes my heart hurt - I feel a great deal of empathy for him. He's the only HG I admire and respect. I really hope Nate doesn't follow his order of eviction (Justin next week, Jack gone in 2 weeks). At the rate things are changing, I imagine he may still be able to hang on a while yet (keeping my fingers crossed!!) |
Mzcruella | Saturday, July 12, 2003 - 11:43 pm     <<Unless something big happens soon and switches the power away from the younger hamsters.. it's too bad, cause I really like him and think he brings a quiet dignity to this show that it's never had before...>> I agree, Justin. Loosing Jack will be a loss for the show. I'm wishing he makes it to the top or at least final 3, but I don't feel good about it.

Cricket | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 11:03 am     I really like Jack. He is the best older person they have had on the show. Doesn't try to hard, but sits back and observes. Very smart and I loved his "FBI profile" of the guests. |
Denecee | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 02:18 pm     Jack is so cool. He has all the other house guests profiled right on,IMO. |
Meme9 | Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 02:49 pm     I'm rooting for Jack. Yep, I think his profile of the other HGs are right on the money. I hope he doesn't let me down...by acting like the others. I enjoy the plotting of the game, but the other HGs are nut cases. (edited to add: Justin is smart and strong and I think he is a strong contestant. Guess he's my second choice, if I had more to go on.) |
Jhonise | Tuesday, July 22, 2003 - 06:21 pm     Seeing Jack's Diary Room makes me like him even more. |
Bastable | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 08:30 pm     Jack is doing an amazing job of both flying under the radar and remaining with the biggest alliance. Remarkable even more because the oldest HGs usually stick out like sore thumbs. |
Watcher | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 07:19 am     Add me to the "I like Jack" list. He has shown a lot of class and I wish they would have more older ones like him on the show. I'm especially glad the other HG's seem to like and respect him as they do and I think he is playing a good game, so far. |
Twiggyish | Monday, July 28, 2003 - 10:25 am     GOOOO JACK!!!!! |
Tobor7 | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 06:58 pm     I'm really liking Jack at this point. His dead-pan delivery is so funny and I hope I look as good as he does when I'm 58 years old. |
Beruthiel | Friday, August 01, 2003 - 11:38 pm     I also like Jack, and I'm glad to see more of his character lately. I'm hoping that he and Erika stay around for a long time, because they are the only ones I can really root for! He's funny, and seems kind, and I agree that he's very attractive - I won't say 'for his age' because that almost seems like an insult, LOL! But I am 59, so that 'might' have something to do with my opinion  |
Bbrock | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 11:22 am     Jack was #2 on my list of favs. But now has the Number 1 spot since Dave departed. |
Bbspyqueen | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 06:32 am     Jack is a tall glass of fresh iced tea in a polluted pond of raging hormones! Really..JACK IS GREAT! I really think the HGs think he is a threat, though, and won't win. BUT, I'm still rooting for him! |
Zachsmom | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 03:08 pm     YAY Jack! I am rooting for you to win it all! YAY! |
