        <title>BIG BROTHER -- "The Jenius Jets Off"</title>
        <link>http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/24/BIG-BROTHER----Jenius-Jets-Off.aspx</link>
        <description>Friends, loners, crackpots&amp;hellip; I come to bury Dick, not praise him.
&amp;nbsp;
Things looked grim for my Jen. I picked her early on as my personal favorite in this game. She struck me as charmingly vapid and gleefully shallow. Her defenses were pedestrian and transparent. It was clear she need the warm embrace and gentle understanding of an angry writer on the other side of the country. Yes friends, I felt this all even before I found out she was in the LINGERIE BOWL &amp;rsquo;06. I even mentioned this to my wife who rolled her eyes and told me to put the kids to bed.
&amp;nbsp;
Jen was too bright a star to remain within the meager confines of the BIG BROTHER household and now she can burn as bright as she needs to whether it be as a nanny or a swimsuit model. Now she can soar the skies of possibility, for tonight Jen was evicted. The vote was 0-6 and only five votes were cast. That&amp;rsquo;s how profoundly she was evicted tonight.
&amp;nbsp;
I made the point that this was a bad strategic move for Dick and Daniele- a team I had found myself squarely behind until tonight. They turned on my Jen for a number of spoken and unspoken reasons. Like most things in life the unspoken reasons held more weight than the spoken ones. Both made the case that Jen was disrespectful of the game because she so happily gave up half the prize money in a veto competition. Of course she was fighting for her life in the game and giving up half of something is better than getting all of nothing but that sort of logic isn&amp;rsquo;t part of this equation. Jen&amp;rsquo;s paper-thin claims of the money not being important were given more prominence in this silly round-about deduction than they deserved.</description>

            <description>All Hail The Jenius!  Especially for the way she went out.  The Great Turkeyburger Revolution was her own delightfully bubbleheaded way to flip her two lovely middle digits at CBS, Big Brother, Julie Chen and Les Moonves.  How dare she break "the rules of the game"?  Look at all CBS had done for her?  Didnt they lock her in a tract house in Studio City with a tattooed lunatic for 6 weeks to suffer Gitmo like emotional and physical torture?  What an ingrate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dick is certainly in the Despicable Hall of Fame but Eric should have his own wing too.  If, after he gets out of the house and ever comes under the misapprehension that he's actually a  man, I hope someone has saved a few selected scenes from this season to show the cowardly, toadying, sniveling little git.  My favorite would the one of him shivering in terror in the backyard as Dick is, to use Julie's felicitous phrase, "saying mean things" to him.</description>
