That's how I feel too!! John's eyes are mesmerizing in one of those upfront headshots, I stared at it way too much yesterday. He makes me want to do bad things.
John, can you hear us? I said baaad things

First laugh of the morning... thank you!

Yeah, JK never listens to me.... but that doesn't keep me from talking to him anyway


Pam Halpert, I really hope you don't have a hangover this morning. I can completely sympathize with you. I have drank a whole bottle of wine in an hour as well, and let's just say it did not end pretty, and the headache didn't go away for almost a whole day. Hopefully you can just sleep through it and you don't have much to do today.

Oh my gosh, I didn't check this last night and now I see that Pam Halpert is drunk and Jenna Fischer is injured. Oh lord! What does this mean for JAM? Please say it isn't so!!!

Seriously, PH, I hope you are OK this morning. We will all understand if you don't show up here today. I used to think greasy food worked pretty well after a long night so you might try that. It's been a while since I've been in your shoes. Oh to be young again...

I cannot wait for tomorrow! It's a new day and hopefully both Pams will be back to normal!

well I am glad to know that I can just delete Conan off my tivo. I was going to watch jenna while my kids were napping. now I can just go back to my regularly scheduled TO marathon.

Did anyone read the post on John's thread about him and Rashida? Ick. Why can't he just pick someone else so it doesn't look like he's choosing Karen over Pam? Let me think of someone . . . .

Oh no. Is he dating Rashida again? Yuck! Renee Zellweger was better. I don't have anything against Rashida but it is just too chummy and makes me think of JAREN. NOOOOO!!!!!!

So Jenna broke her arm? That sucks, hope she gets feeling better.

Anyone have any idea how that happened?

I know!! When I read that I got kinda sad and then I felt kinda stalker-ish! Like ewwwww! They CAN'T be together because that would mean he's not with Pam. And Jenna's happily married in RL and this is all just too weird. I decided I am better off not knowing or caring about their personal lives. I should just stay in fanastyland and think of them as characters and wish for JAM.

That sounds smart. Sometimes when I see him and Jenna together, he seems to be kind of ambivalent about her, but she seems to want to impress him a little bit. Its a sad dynamic to watch, so I am a little better off not watching them in real life.

I'm sure they get along fine in real life. Sometimes what happens is you carry over what is happening on screen into seeing something that is not there. Jim and Pam aren't getting along on air so maybe we think we see something between John and Jenna. I am going to believe it's all good.

Yeah, she was trying to knock some sense into Jim

Just kidding... I couldn't help myself.

^^^

Okay, we definitely need to stop talking about John/Rashida on here b/c this thread is all about JAM & how they are going to be together!!!

Thursday!! Thursday!! Thursday!!
JAM! JAM! JAM! JAM! JAM!

Well wishes go out to both Pam's.

Jenna Fisher: I hope you fell better. We are all pulling for you.

PH: greasy food and chocolate milk always do the trick for me. Don't drink anything tonight. You wanna be in good shape fo Jam tommorow.

Yes I said TOMMOROW people.Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. TOMMOROW.




My heart hurts whenever I think about John and another woman. I know it's sick, but I can't help it. This is gonna ruin my day.

Sorry about the Rashida talk. Go watch some S2 and think happy JAM thoughts.

Rejoice everyone! Jam is only a day away!


The JAM'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be JAM!

Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!

When I'm stuck a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh!

The JAM'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
A way!

Let's all eat peanut butter and JAM sandwiches for lunch tomorrow!

Ok, so I just finished watching The Dundies, and I have to say . . . That is such a great episode, but I have this tight feeling in my chest, ready to burst with tears because of all the HOPE that episode left us with! Think about how much speculation would be going on at the end of an episode like that one --
1. Jim fights for Pam's feelings with Michael concerning her Dundie (so sweet!)
2. Pam fights with Roy in the parking lot -- the first fight we see, and it looked pretty bad.
3. She and Jim have fun all night, and then she KISSES him!
4. She wants so badly at the end to "ask him something" but doesn't

I know the first time I saw the Dundies I thought they would moving their relationship along very soon. But alas. . . . S3 - UGH!

All I'm saying is, they could continue to drag this out for a long time. The things we think mean so much sometimes dont mean as much as we would like for them to. For instance, I thought after WA, that Karen would be far more estranged from Jim - but look how close they looked in Beach Games.

I dont want to put a damper on anything but I think that we may not be seeing much of anything positive in the finale.

Dont hate me.

Have no fear! That is what they want you to think. Just when you are least expecting it, you will get what you want. It will all be OK.

I agree. I think most of The Job will set the scene for season 4, and I'm not convinced that the writers are very far along on writing new episodes (though I'm sure they've started).

If you're expecting the BIG Jim / Pam face-off (pun intended ), I think you may very well be disappointed. If you expect Jim to decide whether his heart lies with Pam or Karen, you'll probably be disappointed too. Besides, if you compare how S2 ended (Casino Night) with how S3 started (Gay Witch Hunt), I think you'd agree that a lot can happen in the interim. It's a lock that's what will happen here. The S4 kickoff will probably change a lot of the things we'll be thinking after Thursday night.

In the immortal words of Fats Waller, "One never knows, do one?"

I've been thinking (well obsessing) this morning about tomorrow and I have a feeling that the JAM talk won't be very optimistic for us. But I do see a glimmer of hope at the end to keep us dangling untill next season.

Oh my goodness...is it Wednesday already!?!? I've spent the week preparing for the days ahead. My birthday is on Friday, and all I asked for is to have my whole family at my parents on Thursday so we can eat cake and watch the finale together. I bought a new outfit and everything! I remember last year I was babysitting during Casino Night. The little kids were sleeping...so not only did I have to watch by myself, but I couldn't scream or squeal or anything! Here's a little gift to you all, my favorite Jim and Pam video EVER!!!! Enjoy!

Jim says YES!!!

So where is Bees, our lovely mediator? Is this the final draft of the official The Office Season 3 Finale Wager?

Since it's the day before the episode (squeeee!!!!!!!!!) I think we should finalize the wager ASAP and have everyone place their bets.

I'm with you QOE, let's all put a stake in the ground.

I choose #2 (subtle JAM goodness)

Team Voldemort - I think Karen is going to be a catalyst.

I am ready for whatever punishment is sent my way should I be way off.

Oh WOW! That is a great video! I am having to hang my hair over my eyes in my office because I am literally in tears. Be still my beating heart!

What happens to these threads in the summer? What will we have to talk about?

Oh WOW! That is a great video! I am having to hang my hair over my eyes in my office because I am literally in tears. Be still my beating heart!

No need to apologize! I just don't want us getting depressed the day before THE day. I am fully aware that I am wearing my JAM-colored glasses, but I don't care. (What's funny is that I am a complete realist in real life, but I figure this is fictional TV so real life doesn't matter!) Don't forget: "Never ever EVER give up."


One very important difference b/t The Dundies (my #2 fav ep) & tomorrow night - it was the opener of S2, not the finale! PLUS look at everything we/they have been through since then! We have been patient & there will be payback. If I'm totally wrong, feel free to throw things at me Thursday night at 8pm CST!!!


As much as I would like to participate, I am very superstitious & feel that I should decline since I have not wagered before now.

It's probably easiest to keep track of everyone's bets if you just copy and paste this list, and add your name to the team you're on.

If you need a reminder of which team is which, refer to page #112 of this topic! Let the games begin!

Bet #1:

2- Subtle yet positive JAM interaction = mybestfriend, QueenOfEngland

3- JAM kiss =

If it makes you feel better, all the JAM interaction has been totally positive since we started betting! If you change your mind (I hope you do! The more, the merier) just go all in on JAM. They need all the positive vibes they can get!

I have a quick question about the bet thing- for the "cliffhanger" option- are we betting on a Jim and Pam cliffhanger or just anyone or anything in general?

^ bubblewrap, I believe "cliffhanger" is for a Jim and Pam cliffhanger specifically.

I interpret the 'cliffhanger?' as a big question mark. Total indecision on Jim's part. Jim will still be in limbo between Pam and Karen. If Jim starts to turn toward Pam, I interpret this as subtle JAM interaction. I hope this is clarifing.

Ok- thanks. That's what I thought but I just thought I'd check.

JAM cliffhanger works for me.

Jim says Yes on youtube is the prettiest of all the youtube videos. My heart lept (is that spelled right?) inside my chest and I caught my breath. I love those two. They must kiss...they must.

OK, I'm having trouble choosing my team because I think it will be a combination of a few, but not really all of them, so I can't take Team Awesome that way, right?

Is Team Awesome all of the events, or how many? I'm leaning towards 3 of the teams.


Help!

I forgot about that one. Thanks for posting it VERYgood. Now I am so sad though. He loooooooovvvves her so much. How, How, HOW would he possibly choose Karen over Pam. It just can't happen. *SIGH* I am teetering on JAM depression right now.

Bet #1:
1- Cliffhanger = gatorjenni, Awkward

2- Subtle yet positive JAM interaction = mybestfriend, QueenOfEngland, bubblewrap

3- JAM kiss = poorman'sMichaelScott

Bet #2:

Team Voldemort: mybestfriend

Team Sandals: QueenOfEngland, Awkward, poorman'sMichaelScott

Team Griffindor:

Team USA:

Team Blue:

Team Awesome: gatorjenni

Team Scrantonicity: bubblewrap

Team HR:


But let me clarify that I think it will be his decision, not really Michael pushing it into him.

Oh, and that Jim/Pam Yes vid was awesome! Totally swayed my vote!

That is amazing. I can't believe I've never seen it. I'm in tears. But now I'm more hopeful for tomorrow night, so thank you, thank you, thank you.

Happy Birthday in advance. Hopefully, we will all be celebrating with you on Friday, and your birthday will be so great because of the wonderful, rewarding finale tomorrow night.

Wow... tomorrow night!

Is it just me, or has this week been super-long waiting for this finale?

Do not fear, Office Obsessed. I know they will throw us a big JAM moment tommorow. They want us to obsess and talk about it all summer long. They know if they don't, JAM fever might cool off....We need that moment to get us through the long hot summer...And, I am confident we are going to get it!!

Thanks! I'm pretty sure the writers know it's my birthday and will give me a satisfying finale. Just in case, though...I've made a deal with God and I'm going to donate blood tomorrow specifically for the cause. I figure that saving three lives is worthy of an Office Miracle.

MarkedArm, Team Awesome is all of the teams in one, so it might be safest to go with the one you think is most likely to happen tomorrow night. Or you could take a big risk and go with the one scenario you would most like to have happen.

LOVE THIS!

I am definitely bringing the JAM out of the fridge to put on my toast tomorrow morning for good luck.

The JAM will come out tomorrow!



I think by tomorrow we'll be all on the edge. I do have high hopes, but what is exciting is that anything is possible.

Just keep using JAM visualization. If you dream it, it wil come.




I like your thinking. A big, juicy JAM kiss would keep us going all summer long.

Thanks for picking up the ball, Queen.

Being a Grade One teacher, I don't sit at a computer to do my work. I spent a big part of my day today on the floor teaching kids how to count with plastic money. Good times!

Sooooo, here is the most recent wager list. I did start to write down some names, but this is a much better way to organize it.

Bet #1:
1- Cliffhanger = gatorjenni, Awkward

2- Subtle yet positive JAM interaction = mybestfriend, QueenOfEngland, bubblewrap

3- JAM kiss = poorman'sMichaelScott

Bet #2:

Team Voldemort: mybestfriend

Team Sandals: QueenOfEngland, Awkward, poorman'sMichaelScott

Team Griffindor:

Team USA:

Team Blue:

Team Awesome: gatorjenni

Team Scrantonicity: bubblewrap

Team HR:

Since I am moderating this wager, I do not bet. I think you probably all know where I would stand, anyway.

Can someone refresh my memory about the stakes? I know there is a pro-JAM sig for the winners and a pro Karen or JAREN sig. But does this apply to Bet 1 or Bet 2?

Any time! I was just so ready to start the games and I'm looking for anything that will keep me from watching the clock. I'm so ready for tomorrow night!



I think you have to win both bets to be considered a winner.

Hm, another sig wager....
Am I the only one that's up for raising the stakes in this last bet? It'll be our last chance this season, and I'm thinking it deserves a wager that's at least as big as the episode itself! Any takers?

What did you have in mind, Queen? Are we going to avatars involved?
