"Nakomis has class"
Posted by vixie on 08-08-04 at 12:15 PM
I know it sounds weird, but that girl has some class. Giving CB her picture of her dad without hesitation, was the one of the kindest things I believe I've seen on RTV. Then her remark that "now you have a picture of dad and me" was the best. I think she is perhaps the most intelligent person in the house, and I'd love to see you take it all the way. (or will!)

I like her more and more as well

I used to be in the tattooed, change our names, granola scene as well. Now, when I see someone like that, I think they are full of you know what. But Nakomis I judged too soon.

She's a nice person. Even though I think Cowboy will likely not be as large a part of her life as he suspects (because how can you warm up to a person who is so emotional about finding you, yet plots to screw you over in a game regardless?), I think the photo was an awesome gesture.

It's probably all CB will ever get from her, though. And, i don't blame her.

Anyone think Nakomis was cast on the show first, then they found the DNA connection and put Cowboy on for the twist? it's been puzzling me who was the real person they were looking at, then discovered this convenient little twist potential. Nakomis looks more like a Brittany from season 1, whereas Cowboy doesn't seem compelling enough for them to have outright been looking to solely cast him.

Actually I have been wondering all along who set up this arrangement. I mean, did the dad do it? I'm completely blown away by the situation itself. How???

my guess is they both applied for the show, and when casting directors were interviewing them, they discovered the connection, and decided to contact the father to pull this twist.

I am much closer to this situation than most. I grew up knowing I had 2 siblings from my Dad's earlier marriage. I had never met them, but always knew their names and basic stories. When I was 16, my mother gave me a phone number for their uncle. The brother never really turned ino a relationship, but my sister did.

She saw her first photo of our dad at my house, the first day we met.

They never knew I existed, or even what their father looked like. I'm sort of the Jennifer/Nikomis.

My sister turned out to be way better than CB, though.

I suspect that my sperm donor (who molested me right out of prison when I was 11) had other children, just never got a chance to meet them. I would've loved to know them (still).He disappeared after telling me once that there was no excuse for imperfection. Lemme tell ya, that is a helluva legacy to leave with a 12 yr old. Years of emotional problems, drug addiction, as well as a severe personality disorder that I didn't overcome until I was 40! I do not use my sperm donor as an excuse, I am fully responsible for my own actions. However, I do recognise the beginning point and cause.

I read somewhere that when Michael applied to be on BB they did a background check on him and found his dad. They asked his dad to be on BB but he said no but that he has a 21 year old daughter who would like to be on it and thats how it happend.

Wow, that is interesting. I wonder though, if that means Jennifers(Nakomis) dad didn't tell her what he knew prior to her coming in the house. That doesn't seem very kind of him.(if that is true) Thanks for sharing the info cool, & welcome.

I agree. He was setting up both his children - not the act of a loving father. That was a matter to be dealt with privately.

Sometimes I wonder whether people's brains function at all when Hollywood is in the picture. Probably made a good story for his best buddies, though.

This should probably be on bashers. I'll hush now.

I don't know if he knew about it. Maybe the producers didn't tell the father that Michael applied to be on BB. Or BB told the father about it and told him not to tell Jennifer. I don't know.
"RE: Nakomis has class"

Well, I hope for the sake of his children, he didn't know about it. If the producers 'tricked' him though, I think he would be quite angry at CBS, and so far that hasn't seemed like the case at all.

While it do think giving Cowboy the picture was nice. I also think it made sense for playing the game.

She undoubtably has many other pictures of her and her dad, but this picture could mean a lot to Cowboy and help her later in the game if the guys get HOH again.

Agreed it was a smart move, but it wasn't something she "had" to do for positioning in the game. She is a pretty good spot right now. I'm just thinking about being sequestered in that house with no contact from your family, etc. That has to be weird and more difficult as the game goes on.
"RE: Nakomis has class"

I know she is in good position, but I think it means much more to Cowboy than her at present and she might need a vote down the line.

You're right seahorse, it was a good game move.
But I don't think that is why she did it. It may benefit her later with goodfeelings, but she did it because it was the right thing to do.
It has to be really hard for her to find out about having a brother she never knew of; to have everything she knew about her family be different. That makes you question who you are, who your parents are.
She is handling this well, but it has to have thrown her for a loop. Hard to even know how this is affecting her. She is pretty cool.

The picture wasn't about the game. That is why it was a touching gesture. She doesn't know this man from anyone, but thought enough about his feelings to give him that photo.

It may be good for her game, but I think she did it from the heart.

yep, yep, yep. Absolutely agree. And thanks for the props Buggy, alls well that ends well, right? I kinda think of myself as the perfect recipe for me...that includes the bitter with the sweet, and just the right amount of salt(y tears). But I say, bring on the laughs...life is waaay too short.
p.s. The recipe metaphor is particularly apt, since I be a world class cook, and do so for many

"being sequestered in that house with no contact from your family"

Yes - that would be the pits. Any time I've been away from home, whether at college or on a trip, I absolutely, positively, had to touch base. Not being able to would be the pits.

There you are, surrounded by people out to get you, and no real, dependable lifeline. How long is the winner in the house, anyway?

Nope - not for me. Not even for a million dollars.

But I sure do get a kick out of watching these peeps give it a try. Adria/Natalie definitely have the edge in that regard. Of course, that's why one or both of them will be gone real soon.

Yes. Sorry about the unclear post. No sleep at ALL last night, and I wasn't working on all engines.

She is definately growing on me. I do think she is playing the game very well, and knows more than we give her credit for. She has a lot of class, and I wish her the best.

I've been impressed by Nakomis (Jennifer) as well. Originally, I thought, "Uh oh - Loony Tunes Tree Hugger Alert," but I have seen the error of my ways.

Wanna bet Big Brother takes the picture out of the house when Nakomis' week is up?

Hee, I came on from Spoiler's to give a shout out to the Nakomis club out there, and found this thread at the top of the list!
Nakomis was my favourite pick as soon as they all walked in. As a young adult in this day and age I've known a number of Goth style kids who were total and complete losers. In fact, I do believe I have yet to meet one person with that particular style I have been even remotely fond of.
But as soon as she walked in there was something about her. It turns out she's bright, cunning, and can pull off any hairstyle! But best of all, she's chill. She just seems like a really cool, intelligent, relaxed young woman, even surrounded by people like Jase and Scott, and in the weird twist that she is involved in.
Long story short, if there are any other posters out there about Nic and my age, stay away from her! She's my crush!

-Glass.

I agree it was a nice gesture on her part, however I was surprised when she took it out of the frame. I also think it would have been much "classier" to let him keep the photo with the picture frame. Guess it's just me, but whenever I give a photo to someone 'specially fam., I always give it in the frame because that is how they are best preserved as well as look much nicer. And usually, at least IMHO, it is less likely to end up in a kitchen drawer or stuck in the dresser mirror!!

"RE: But kept the frame!!!!"
Posted by vixie on 08-10-04 at 03:21 AM
You are absolutely right. She may have not thought that all the way thru, since she did it right away. I know what you mean about pics in a drawer (or box)
