Everyone absolutely despises her. For some reason you seem to think every other person in the house is nuts and she is normal. I'll agree that a lot of them are nuts but its not because they don't like Jen.
There have been plenty of self absorbed people in the 8 seasons of BB. There has been no-one as abusive as Dick, and I dont believe anyone deserves to be treated like Dick treats Jen, Jameka when he needed to, Eric when he needed to, and Kail. So you think the fact that Jen keeps her composure and doesnt bring herself down to Dick's level is a bad thing? I mean, I know I would have lost it by now, and I admire the way she keeps level headed. I would have lost it when someone put mustard on my pillow. I'm not saying she isnt annoying, conceited, whatever...I'm just saying that no one deserves the vile rants that Dick brings on. And I cant believe that it isnt being addressed by BB. He has really ruined this season for me. I just dont find that enjoyable.

She doesn't respond because she isn't too bright. She figures out what to say a lot slower and eventually says it when Dick stops which eggs him on. Make no mistake, I'm not a Dick apologist. I just had to say something when TimeandTide was seemingly seeing everyone else as nuts for hating Jen and treating her how she deserves to be treated (except Dick). That being said, I do like watching Evel Dick. It's not like he is abusing good people here.

Yeah, shame on Jen for not wanting to get to know sociopaths and people who treat her like shit better.

(I'm not contesting the fact that Jen is self-absorbed, but all of these people are ridiculously self-absorbed.)
She didn't want to get to know them before she knew a thing about them.

I have been a fan of ED and he has been fun to watch, but why is jen so pissed about going up on the block when she has repeatedly said she doesn't care about the money or doesn't care if she wins.

Jen is just weird, so self-involved and very, very cold.ED's tirades should have been stopped by one of the male contestants (like he'd listen) it should have been nipped in the bud. Now it is what it is...


Spoiler:
I saw that Zach was trying to say something to Dick, a little late but...

and it's worth pointing out that when Zach confronted him, he basically ran away.

Not shocked that Dick ran away. I bet Zach makes the top of ED's shit list too.

I'd love to see Zach kick the shit out of Dick (maybe in that minute they have to say goodbye).

Won't happen, but Zach is getting tired of everyone, and everyone is getting tired of Zach. Should be interesting if he ends up on the block this week. We're certainly due a double eviction week soon.

In other news....

Spoiler:
I think AmErica will evict Jen. He hasn't event mentioned anything about keeping her and last night he jokingly tried to make the case to evict her. Also 2 MAJOR blowups last night between Dick and Daniele that had Daniele seeking comfort from Amber and Jameka. Amber was of course definitely trying to use the situation to their advantage. Should she win HOH Amber's plan is to try to get out Jessica or Eric. Amber is in full on catty mode now and hates Jessica. Jameka tried to defend her for awhile (of the two I think Jameka would definitely prefer Jess to stay over Eric), but Amber hates her now. Personally, I think it's because her "guy" was removed from the game, and Amber has always been jealous that Eric paid attention to Jessica and not her.

Sadly, I don't think Zach wouldn't even be able to do that.

He's such a loser/douche bag that he would somehow figure a way to lose in a fight to a man half his size.

Any predictions for the show tonight?

How will they portray the "stuff" that happened Monday night?
Did Amber learn how wonderful and deserving of the $500,000 Daniele is after their trip to New York?

BIG BROTHER BURNING QUESTIONS ANSWERED!!!

OK, I don't know about that, but here's a new interview from EW with exec producer Allison Grodner that's somewhat interesting. It talks about America's Player, this Jen stuff, possible warnings to ED and more. Check it out.

PS There aren't really any spoilers, except for the recent Jen stuff, but it was all over the AD feeds--I don't think most people would feel it spoils anything. But read at your own risk.

I think for only the third time Eric is really going to try for HOH. (for the record I think he really tried week 2 when Joe was still in it and Jen won on that stupid 9 gallon tie break (worked out well for him because Joe went home anyway (America's Choice be damned Eric isn't stupid...Joe and Nick were his biggest immediate threats in the game though the Nick thing nearly cost him the entire game)), and he didn't know it, but Jess got a horrible catty edit (there was very little real animosity between Carol and Jessica...I heard Carol was a last minute replacement for a real Jessica enemy), and he would have had to nominate her...and he tried the week Jess won when Julie Chen screwed him on the question...honestly that worked out better anyway too).

I also think there is a great chance for a double eviction week, and I desperately hope that this the end for the Sea Hag. She should have gone home week 1. Please God, I won't think badly of you if you don't let her win. I'll assume it's part of your plan.

This is kinda sad:

Spoiler:
Dick found out that Danielle had been scheming with Amber in a deal that didn't offer Dick much safety, and then more family crap got tossed in the mixed, and Danielle threw Dick out of the HoH room, and finally, Dick cried himself to sleep over the blowouts he had with Danielle last night. Awww...

BB replaced at least 3 of the 4 cartons of Dick's cigs.

Yes.

As far as tonight....Boo Yah!

They talked about it earlier today so the nominations will probably be Zach and Amber (I'm assuming Amber will be AC, and Jess doesn't want to put up Jameka unless she absolutely has to...E/J want to keep her as an option). If Eric and Jess do this right they can get the Sea Hag out of the house AND cut a nomination deal with Zach (i.e, they won't evict him if he doesn't put either of them up in the next two weeks...Zach usually keeps to the deals he actually makes).
