Early in Thursday’s episode Jen considered refusing to live in the sequester house, which is in clear violation of the rules. This prompted Jameka to talk about the integrity of the game, and that prompted me to roll my eyes. Integrity of the game? Come again?
What a mess! I guess four nominations is a breaking point, because Jen had clearly had enough of this crazy game. Interestingly enough, her chosen method of retaliation was to break and pour bleach over Dick’s cigarettes.
Now I’m sure we can agree that the destruction of people’s property is wrong. But—and this is a big but—how can Jen’s actions be condemned when Eric is guilty of the same misdeed? Especially since the Big Brother producers instructed him to perform an act of vandalism. Were the condiments covering Jen’s shirt excusable because she’s less popular?
There’s no denying Jen was out of line, but I still argue that Dick is the worse offender. The way he deliberately blew smoke into her face and unceasingly taunted her should not go unpunished.
Jen might not be a genius or a jenius, but I think her remark to Julie about
Dick’s behavior was spot-on. She said, “I think either way, if it was Dick’s strategy or how he really feels, it’s not appropriate in any way.” Amen, sister.
That’s right, it was nanny from California who had the pleasure of yakking it up with the Chen-bot. The first unanimous vote of the season was even more of a landslide due to the producer-enforced penalty vote that Jen incurred for eating food despite being on slop.
Is Jen a disgruntled and ungrateful troublemaker or someone who no longer wanted to be a producer-controlled puppet? I have no idea, but I could probably debate the matter for hours.
Clearly there is a lot happening that viewers aren’t privy to—even those with the live feeds don’t get to see everything. Many houseguests appear resentful of the producers, but should they have anticipated certain things when they agreed to participate?
Other thoughts:
+ Big Brother has enough trouble safeguarding players from outside information when they’re in the back yard. Flying Daniele and Amber across the country and introducing them to lots of new people seems like they’re asking for trouble. What was to stop a member of the Power of 10 studio audience from shouting out confidential information?
+ Thank whichever God you pray to that Jessica won HoH and not Dick. Jessica is in a tricky position though because she’ll have to betray either Amber and Jameka or Daniele and Dick.

There is a spoiler free article on www.ew.com that addresses the destruction of Jen's property and rumors of producer manipluation. The person answering the questions is Allison Grodner, who is a producer. I found some of the view points interesting but I am not naive enough to believe what the producer is trying to sell completely. I am glad to see Jen gone. It was freaky to me how she talked about her mansion, her maids, and her gardener. Sorry Jen but in case you missed it you are also part of the hired help. I was never sure if she believed what she said, which would make her kind of delusional, or whether she was bragging, which makes he kind of an a$$. I don't think Jessica will put up Jameka because of how she feels about her personally and because Jameka can't compete in HOH comps. I don't think Jessica is stupid enough to put up D&D because now is not the time. So I think Jessica may go for a Zach and Amber choice. Eric may try to change her mind based on AP but some how I think America wants Amber put on the block. Of course this is influenced by my desire to see Amber on the block.
IMO, the difference between Eric's squirting mustard on Jen's shirt and Jen breaking and pouring bleach on Dick's cigarettes is that after a simple trip to the washing machine, Jen's belongings were as good as new. After being broken and bleached, there was no going back with Dick's cigarettes. There's a difference between destroying and vandalizing.
Jen needs to go find the real world because this Jen Universe that she lives in where she is a 'Jenius' and a 'Jensa Member' is really going to be a hindrance on her ability to function with anyone who is not completely fake.
She is a shallow, pathetic Beverly Hills nanny that is probably taking good care of Vanna White's kids...and her husband, too!
