Kelly,  I like your thoughts!  I have put my opinions for whatever they are worth in parentheses after yours

This is what I think:

-Jen and Jessica remind me of gals in high school who think they are all that and really aren't.  They have good looks but their personalities are going to hinder them in the long run.  Jen is very narcasistic yet also has very low self esteem.  She is an attention seeker (especially with those Jen tee shirts) and is a pathelogical liar (the kissing incident with Nick).  People will not trust her and quite frankly, she is annoying .  Jessica is similar to Jen and I think once Jen is gone, people will look at Jessica in the same light and she will be gone shortly there after.

(I think you've covered this pretty well and I agree with you for the most part.  However, I've seen some moments of Jessica on the feeds that lead me to believe she's smarter than she acts.  She is one to watch!)

-Kail impressed me.  She came in with strategy and a game plan.  She is there to play the game not whine about things.  I enjoyed watching her scheme and think she made a decent choice.  BUT, I don't think that her alliance will stay strong to the end.  I think the boys will turn on her about mid way through the game.  Out of all the girls, I do like her best and I am rooting for her.

(I agree mostly about Kail too.  Kail went in with a good strategy but getting the 1st HOH caused her to play her hand too soon.  The whole house already knows who is in her Mrs. Robinson alliance and there's already discussion of Kail being the next to go, even amongst her own alliance members behind her back!  I think Kail got hit by the 1st HOH curse.  The person who wins HOH first rarely if ever wins the game.)

-I actually liked Carol as well.  She seemed to be one that could kinda lay low under the radar and go rather far in the game as she seemed likeable and one who could play both sides.  After hearing she is so upset and doesn't want to be there, I say send her packing.  They just might keep her in as she really poses no threat to anyone.  If Jameka plays her cards right, I also think she can fly under the radar and get to at least midway in the compettition.  Something tells me that someone is gonna piss her off and she is gonna pull a big attitude.  (Like when they dumped her dirty clothes).

(Jameka is flying under the radar but on the feeds her constant religious posturing is annoying some HGs so that might be her downfall.  Carol is portrayed SO differently on the show than she is on the feeds!  I loved her on the premiere episode but the first night I saw her on the feeds, my opinion of her completely changed.)

-Joe is annoying.  He is the typical drama queen.  He makes a big scene about stuff then tries to be all kissyface to Dustin.  I actually like Dustin and think that if he can shed himself of Joe, he will go pretty far.

(Dustin is the smartest guy in the game!  Keep your eye on him, I'm telling ya!  Joe will be gone in a few weeks, he's on everyone's nerves. It's going to be a matter of do the HGs want to get rid of Kail next based on game or get rid of Jen or Joe based on the annoyance factor.  Of course this will all come down to who wins HOH on Thursday also! )

-Eric seems to be well liked.  I think he was a very good choice to be America's Player.  I am not sure how that is going to effect his game playing as they may have him start lying to others about fake alliances or he may have to vote out one of his friends.  I am curious to see how that all plays out.

(The only thing I worry about Eric is if America makes bad choices for him. He HAS to do what America tells him then spin it however he can to stay in the game.  I don't envy his position at all.  It's all fun for him now, but wait until we get to week 7 or 8.  By then, Eric won't like being America's Player as much.  I'm also wondering what happens to Eric if he reveals he's America's Player, which I don't think is too far fetched to happen a couple of months from now!)

-Strangely, I think that Daniele will do quite well but think that her Daddio will soon be sent packing if some of the ladies start winning HOH.  I wouldn't trust him at all in an alliance.  He seems the type to turn his back at any moment. 

(Dick and Daniele are the two that have me perplexed this season. Dick is a lot more savvy than the HGs think and I learned today he's a BB expert.  He's been trying to get into the BB House since season 4 and has been a finalist every season since season 5--scoop: he and his son are rumored to have tried to be a secret pair in season 6!  There's a lot of talk that Dick and Daniele are play acting the animosity between them.  If they are, they have been doing this act for years.  Dick's Myspace contains blogs from 2005 where he talks about how much Daniele hates him so it's an interesting conspiracy theory! Also after watching Daniele on the feeds last night, she's a lot smarter than people give her credit for!  She knows what she's doing!)

-I can't figure out where Amber fits in.  She seems rather weak to me.  Her emotions are gonna get the best of her.

(If Amber doesn't go this week, she will in a few weeks.  She's a weak player and won't find any alliances that want her.  If she is kept around it will be for a vote and then she will be cut to the curb when they don't need her vote anymore.) 

-I think the finals will come down to My Three Sons-Mike Zach and Nick.  I am thinking I like Nick the best so far.  I think that they will keep a "will and boogey" type relationship and string the girls along while maintaining their alliance.  Kail will remain faithful to them but I think they are gonna screw her.

(I like your predictions!  I'd like to see Nick win the game, however, I've only predicted the winner correctly 3 out of 8 times---I predicted Season 1 would be Eddie, Season 2 would be Dr. Will and Season 5 would be Drew but other than that I don't have a good track record LOL...I love your name for them!)

Will be interesting to see.  I am looking forward to more twists and turns.

Thanks for having this site.  I can't wait to hear everyones thoughts and predictions.
