Upon hearing such hateful things, I began to wonder if my perception of house dynamics thus far had been wrong. Is Jen just a nice (albeit shallow) girl stuck in a house with a group of mean and caddy people? I was moments away from repenting and declaring myself on "Team Jen".....and then she hid the picture of her mother. Oof!
Okay, so maybe Jen isn't all that sympathetic, but I still think the other houseguests were unnecessarily rude. Like Dustin, Zach, and Mike making a drinking game out of all the times Jen said the word "I'? Pretty petty. (Although it's a good thing they didn't drink every time she said "like" or Julie Chen would've been sent in to pump their stomachs.)
To her credit, Jen did a decent job seeing through people's B.S. She wasn't the least swayed by big-nippled Joe's attempts at turning her against Dustin. Smartly, she also recognized that it would be foolish to eliminate all the girls early on.
When it came time to make her nominations, Jen weakly attempted some karma-based logic about "getting rid of negativity", but in truth she targeted the people who ticked her off. The first was Daniele, whose flirtation with Nick makes Jen feel like an overlooked ugly stepsister, and the second was Dick, AKA Evil.
I suppose Dick knew he'd be nominated no matter what, but he couldn't even pretend to care for Jen despite her position of power. In this episode he denied going upstairs to admire h
er customized HoH bedroom, he ranted to other houseguests about her rudeness, and he called her an "inconsiderate bitch" to her face. Regardless of who is right or wrong, how could Jen not nominate the man who told her, "I will do everything I can to make you the most miserable bitch in the house."?Alas, there were some lighter moments: Eric's attempt to orchestrate Jessica's ouster was entertaining, and Nick and Mike's weight-lifting alter-egos (Krangus and Mangus) may have inspired the funniest moment of the season.
Also enjoyable was the food competition, in which the teams had to sample questionable pies and correctly deduce the contents. It was a neck-and-neck challenge, but ultimately the team of men (minus Joe) won out. Sadly, this means Daniele is on slop for a second week. Considering how thin she is already, I fear she'll be a skeleton with blond hair and Olsen-twin sunglasses before long.
I must admit I felt the urge to vomit during this episode, but the culprit wasn't pickle-and-clam pie. Rather, it was the strange flirting between Daniele and Nick. Although the producers added smooth elevator music to the background, nothing can convince me of the romance of boogers. Their come-ons sounded like the taunts of second graders by the swing set! In this clip a second b-word, boyfriend, was mentioned. I wonder how long that guy will wait around if he's watching Daniele's shenanigans?
Some final observations:
+ When trying to convince Jen of the PG-nature of his relationship with Daniele, Nick said it's not as if "we were moaning up." Is that the new slang? If so, can we do something to stop it from spreading?
+ Eric's nipple ring(s)? Not cute.
+ Kail sure seemed eager to propose Joe and Dustin as potential nominees. Somebody's homophobia is showing.
+ According to Eric, Jessica "talks to the sun." Say whaa?

I want to like Jen, but every time she opens her mouth she just makes me hate her more. I almost hope Daniele gets voted off just so she can finally eat something!
I dislike Jen. I tried to like her, but yeah... I dislike her.
I hope Dick goes over Danielle - she's a feisty little skinny bomb waiting to go off.
I agree with you Tate, I think Daniele has a fire inside that is slowly building. But Jen was smart, how can the nominees campaign when they are related?
