Jen is one of those people that I absolutely despise, who say the rudest goddamn things but say them in a way that sounds like she’s just trying to have a reasonable discussion (which is alway, amazingly enough, about your faults), but who react in this shocked, hurt way when the object of the remarks takes offense.
“I was only trying to bring up your disgustingly unkempt grooming in the interest of helping you work through it! There’s no reason to yell at me!”
Jen might be the most narcissistic person in the history of this show and that’s really saying something. Other people just don’t exist for her at all. She is genuinely solopsistic. Her crying jag over that picture was groundbreaking in how it plumbed new and unexplored levels of self-absorption.
Speaking of crying, does Amber ever stop.
It’s hard to find anyone to root for. I don’t really care about Tomy lee or his anorexic daughter. I don’t care about her love affair with Keanu Reeves. Kail turned me off on day one with her gay-bashing remarks. Most of rest just leave me indifferent.
I have kind of liked Eric, so far, basically just because of the spirit and sense of humor he’s brought to being America’s [del]bitch[/del] player.
Dustin hasn’t annoyed me yet either.
Jen has an overly inflated ego, along with a bloated sense of entitlement. She’ll make a fine trophy wife someday.
One amusing note from tonight’s show…when Zack and Nick were talking about who would go up to replace Danielle, and who they’d vote off in various events, they both wanted Dick to stay. So Zack says, “I want Dick.” And Nick says, “So do I.”
And I die laughing, considering the things that have been discussed on the live feeds…
Nick discusses his Top 5 men-to-do list with Zack and Dick
Solipsistic and passive-aggressive. An impossible person to deal with. Once Nick’s indiscretions come out, the house is going to divide as follows:
Kail, Jen, Mike, Zach, Jessica
Dick, Nick, Danielle, Amber, Jameka, Dustin
Note to Amber: PULL IT TOGETHER, MAN! You’re on TV for chrissakes.
A discussion of “Big Brother” caused me to exclaim “I love Dick!” quite loudly at the bar last weekend. :o
That is an interesting phenomenon…if you’d told me that Dick would be one of my favorite houseguests the night this season premiered, I’d have laughed at you. But the rest of these idiots are just either so blah or so horrible that he looks good in comparison. And he really is determined to build bridges with his daughter. That’s admirable enough to really push him far up my scale.
Between that and his compulsion to puncture Jen’s balloon of self-delusion and obliviousness he really is turning into one of my favorites this season.
See, I liked Dick almost immediately. He keeps things interesting and if he goes home any time soon, the rest of the season is going to be incredibly boring. He’s also becoming kind of the father figure of the house, the one who cooks dinner, cleans up, and washes clothes for everyone. He’s like a twisted version of Chicken George.
Plus, the rift is her fault, not his. She borrowed money from him, and then played coy like a spoiled brat, dumping him when he began to ask for repayment.
Another thing I noticed from the Big Brother After Dark broadcast. Listening to Eric talk without seeing him, I thought he sounded just like Milton from Office Space. 
I think there are some people in the house who think Daniele is a spoiled little brat too. I know Dick got after her a few days ago because she wasn’t pulling her weight (ha, all 86 pounds of it) in the house and people were starting to complain about having to clean up after her. Hell, even Jen pitches in and does the dishes.
I’ll have to try listening to Eric without looking at him today. Odd as he might be, I’m starting to like him.
To get the effect, listen especially when he’s mumbling quietly. It’s Milton!
