Spunky

I no longer like this guy

I agree Spunky, but I have never liked him. I think this whole myth of his intelligence is overblown and I really need to have his hair, glasses, and constant shirtlessness explained to me so maybe I can understand it. In which decade am I living, the 70s? He certainly has a lot of gall to make comments about Dana's sexiness....!

I also dislike what seems to be contempt for the other HGs, except Ericka, of course, who must have some sort of father fixation. Yeah, it looks like he just "sits back and listens" to them, but it feels like an utter refusal to interact with them because he imagines himself to be superior. I cannot wait to see him go.

Jack is not contemptable- Only truthful when it comes to some hg's. There are no mods in the actual house. That's just how it is.

Sorry Omega, I said he has contempt for the other HGs, not that *he* is contemptable. It seems pretty clear in my post above.

Tishala,I will rephrase my answer then. His contempt for certain Hg's is understandable.

Tishala I agree with what you have said. I dont understand why they consider Jack any kind of threat. If he didnt throw the HOH competition then what does that tell you??? In the food competition, he could have lost it for the whole group because he couldnt get into his suit. They were all screaming at him how to put the suit on. The luxury competition,he couldnt listen to the instructions took his bathing suit off and didnt even have the clothing clips. It isnt that he doesnt win competitions, it is that he loses them. He is a risk to the group and offers absolutely nothing to the group as a whole.

He may not offer much to the group but he has made his fans at home laugh and laugh.......

That may be but the fans at home dont vote. If I was in the house I would be pushing hard to say get this guy out. He doesnt do anything except put us at risk. I am betting he will lose a PB&J competition for the group.

Maybe Jack is losing his hearing?

When they did the last hoh comp, I would have lost because I thought Julie said tiger, not elephant. Wasn't til I came to the board the next day that I realized I misheard the question.

Not complaining. For the sake of debate, strengths does he bring to the group?

How about, he brings calmness and a sense of humor to the group. He listens instead of talking for the sake of talking. His bashing is minimal compared to the other HG's. If I remember correctly, he's the oldest HG out of all the past HG's. I give him kudos for trying and for keeping his cool with this younger group.

Jack is not under the same restraints online posters are. He can say what he wants. He is the best Hg this year.

There must be some reason I don't think he's funny even though I typically appreciate the kind of caustic, bitter banter he thinks constitutes humor. Maybe it's an age difference or a regional difference....who knows? I just find him more offensive ["thinking with her panties," "buzzard's crotch," "head up Justin's butt" etc] than anything. Or it might have to do with the way his hair looked when he was spinning around in that food challenge. Oy gevalt.

I guess it's ok to post Jack's phrases if you don't like them so I will just say that I LOVED his comments. Every one of them, because they were very on target.

I don't know about the age thing...my 21-year old daughter thinks Jack is hilarious. She, like me, loves his dry sense of humor and wit. He is so far above all the rest of the HG's in every respect. Go Jack! :)

Yes, you can post Jack's phrases if you DON"T like them. LoL

Age has nothing to do with it. I dont automatically assign the role of hero to some hg because they are a certain age. That is all I am reading as his strenghths in this game. His bringing calm is not an asset. Do we want 12 people sitting on a chair in the back yard playing cards calmly? I cannot see anything that he has done in this game that merits praise. As far as his phraseology, I find it lacking in taste and a bit boorish, especially for someone his age.

None of these assets dispute his inability to play this game or to even get a glimmer of what is going on in the house.

Jack needs to stop talking to Erika so much. He should change his room and start working on someone else in order to change-up his game.

The HGs keep referring to Jack as a married man, yet they showed is EX-wife being interviewed. It's clear they are still close, but that doesn't make you married.

Do the HGs know he is divorced?

Gina - Jack refers to her as his wife. Alabama is a common-law state - as I recall- meaning if 2 people live as married they are legally considered married...Maybe Jack is just committed as if he were still married and acts accordingly.
