J'ame Over (INSERT MORE COINS)
I was actually a little surprised when Jamie was evicted last night. I thought for sure that Zoran's number was up. What had Jamie done so wrong to suddenly have 25% of the votes swing against him?
I'd been lax in my views on BB's favourite genius geeky gamer - but even Jamie's "loved one" knew the score! I thought he still had the online community behind him, but I see now that he'd lost their support sometime during the "I'm NOT CRYING!" incident, where he went all troppo and punched the floor.
Just a tip, Jamie, in case you ever find yourself entering a compound like the Big Brother House again and living your life on nationwide TV: Telling your fellow Housemates that they're not as smart as you (even if it's true, and it ain't necessarily so) isn't exactly evidence of your supposed higher intelligence. Do you think that's going to let people warm to you?
And repeatedly telling yourself aloud (ie: telling the people watching at home, let's be honest) that you're just an ordinary guy and a geek and someone who's been downtrodden, etc, is such a TRANSPARENT attempt to gain the public's support that it was embarrassing.
I almost sided with Gretel's questions last night to 'out' you as a game-player, but as usual "Ms Killmen" went too far and only succeeded in coming across as a snappy old b!tch who had it in for you big-time. Thankfully, you were either too high on the public's adoration to notice, or else too wise to your ruse being uncovered to show any recognition of the jig being (as they say) up.
You were my initial favourite, but I tend to agree that you went a bit too far with the mock humility bit of being such a battler.
super-intelligence, he came across as a jerk.
Still, I didn't think people would turn on you as much (or as quickly) as they did. I guess you can be glad that the prizes went up a notch last night from $3,000 cash to $5,000 and the 3 mobile phones increasing from a normal phone to some kind of snazzy video one or something. I think the car also stepped up a bit, but I haven't really been paying too much attention to what cars they've been getting so far.
Were you REALLY a geek, Jamie? Are you REALLY into sci-fi and gaming and computers and stuff? Is poker REALLY a sign of geekism? I'm not so sure, but I bet the public will demand answers of you this week. If it was all a ploy to gain the public's sympathy, I hope you've done your research ...
My early (pre-Nominations) tip is that Michelle will go this week (that's if Danielle can't or doesn't save her). In fact, I reckon she'll be the one the public will put up for eviction. If so, hopefully Danielle can't remove her from the line-up. Last week was a frustrating week to watch, and although I've never cared too much for Aleisha, I found myself wanting to get in there and knock Michelle to the ground (I don't advocate violence against women, btw). Michelle's a disgraceful know-it-all bully when she's drunk.
If the tide of popularity turns (or continues to turn, as the case may be) against Travis and Joel, I'd be quite happy for Aleisha or Zach to win this season. I reckon Zach's actually quite deserving, and it'd be great to see an Intruder (the last person to enter the House this year, no less!) be the eventual winner for once.

1. i must be a snappy old bitch too because like gretel, i think, i was irritated by jamie's demeanour when he came out and onto the couch. he was very very annoying.
2. i agree with you, his tired and lame bemoanings about being an everyman geekboy were just so boring and so transparent
3. i agree with you too about michelle and aleisha. i was yelling at the tv telling michelle what a bully she is, and i believe i used the word "evil" a couple of times. i don't do that lightly. she is awful and it was very disturbing to watch. the finger pointing, the standing over, the crowding, the interrupting, the pushing and pushing of aleisha. not nice, and beyond mere stirring up for fun.
i was also bothered that nobody had the guts to stand up to michelle and tell her to sit on it (where did that quaint fonzy-ism spring from?). while billy later explained his reasons for not getting involved, it was clear that michelle was being quite abusive and very aggressive and it just showed her power, that no one told her to shut up. i thought it was good later the way daniella spoke to her, under the guise of giving her some gentle advice, but it was too little, too late.
4. apart from that, daniella is annoying me, she is fence-sitting. this is also what jamie was doing. travis too is being too much mr nice guy. you can see he's bothered by things, but he's not reacting in a true fashion, he is holding back. i'm not saying he should become aggressive, but he should stand up for things a bit more.
5. joel is starting to say a bit more but he's still very guarded. i'm surprised by how much i've grown fond of joel, considering the very first i saw of him was that clip where he seemed to be such a chauvinist pig.
6. zach, ah zach. lovely boy. lovely straight back boy. he's about to crack, and i fear michelle is going to turn her blazing guns on him next, she senses he is an easy target. i hope not, i really like him. i really want him to do well.
7. last night's viewing really disturbed me, re the michelle aleisha thing. i am far too involved emotionally in this stupid show.
8. that is all.
post script to last night's nom show.
clokes and i were sitting on our couches. clokes was critical of gretel going so hard on jamie. i was empathising with her, feeling i could understand why she was, because i was too.
and while gretel usually annoys me ALOT (hmmm, think about that...) the way she has handled jamie has amused me no end. although i did think towards the end of last night's show, she was softening a little towards him simply because he slipped in a couple of nice little comebacks. and hence her respect grew.
i am too involved in this stupid show.
