Maybe she’s like Smithers…he’s a sycophantic Burns-o-phile; she’s a master-o-phile. She’s hot for Tony. On at least one occasion I can think of, she was Roger Healy’s genie, and she never had the hots for him. ---

Maybe she’s like Smithers…he’s a sycophantic Burns-o-phile; she’s a master-o-phile. It’s been a while, but IIRC, there was an early episode when Roger was her master. She did not have the hots for him. It was Tony she loved. And, after all that “I don’t want a genie stuff” Tony was as eager to get Jeannie back from Roger as she was to leave Roger and go back to Tony. ---

Furthermore, Jeannie had a _femme fatale_ sister (forget her name), who was always trying to alienate Nelson’s affections even though she had a master of her own (a conventional Arab potentate). ---

Well, TVLand just answered the question. The very first thing Jeannie did upon being freed from the bottle was bow, then kiss Major Nelson in a decidedly non-just friends manner.
