Um, not if Lena was hooking up with some dude in her room.
Trust me, after a night of boozing like that, people just flop down wherever there's a place to be found, no matter where it is, and everyone's drunk/passed out so no one cares.

However, we know Jamie's not technically savvy & has lost her phone. Her only means of communicating w/ Teddy right now are via this video and she's in a rush to talk to him before the ex does. She can barely turn it on, so of course she can't figure out how to move the camera to a different room. So she tries to do a close in shot to avoid getting video of the person next to her. It may or may not be a girl, but she definitely didn't want that person to be seen by Teddy.


If the timezone/location thing does help us work out if he's on the rig, then another possible reason why Jamie's so scared about contact is that the skanky ex could theoretically try use her phone to contact Teddy.

So let me try to understand: some of you think that Jamie contacted her boyfriend via webcam while her lover from the night before was still in bed with her? And visible from the camera?

Is she really that sleezy, stupid and desperate?

I vote no on that. Come on Jamie: get it together. This is no way to live.

And, again, I ask, didn't the people at the party seem wealthier and more sophisticated than this? I mean that apartment in the trailer is amazing. It just doesn't go with the low quality website and videos from Jamie. They seem like two different worlds.

Not to mention, blatant audience pandering with Jamie's low cut shirt and calling in from bed. No question who the target audience of this movie is there? But there is nothing wrong with that.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, it seems even more likely that Teddy is at the Chuai station, because that's closer to NYC than London, probably only a 2 hr time difference. So its 4AM NYC and 6AM Teddy time or 5AM/7AM. 9AM does seem sort of late to start your day if you're responsible for saving the world.


I'm with that. And if he really works at the Chuai station, maybe we'll be getting some videos from Teddy, from the station, as we approach 1-18. And maybe even a video a few days before the incident (if that's really what is going to unleash the monster). How cool would that be?

i was thinking teddy could be on the station, but thought that mobile carrier signal would not be strong enough unless he had a GPRS. He could be travelling the USA promoting Slusho with a laptop?

I see nothing worth while in the vid ppl, just like the last two.

I'm still sticking with my reasoning that ol chinstrap is a member of some Greenpeace-type organisation. Teddy being out on the Rainbow Warrior, or some close facsimile, would explain a lot. The delays at the drilling platform, (it should be open). Teddy going at a moments notice. Saving the world, unless Teddy outright told Jaime that that is what he does, If someone told me they worked for a corporation, first thing i'd think would be bitch-puppet for the man. If someone told me Greenpeace, i'd have much respect, it is a save the world type calling.

I'm leaning in that direction, too. "Saving the world" sounds like a crusader -- and yeah, doctors *could* be construed to be crusaders, but unless he's an adventurer-type (e.g., Doctors Without Borders) it' unlikely that Jamie would describe him as "out saving the world." If he was a doctor for YMR, he'd have a steady job.

Everything we've heard about Teddy so far sounds like he keeps his own schedule. A Greenpeace type would definitely fit that description. Plus, if we're talking about time zones, instead of thinking about what time it is at Chuai Rig when Jamie makes the video, think about what time it would be on a Greenpeace ship out in the Atlantic...probably bound for the recently opened Chuai Station (perfect photo-op for a Greenpeace "attack").

Maybe she was so trashed the night before that she forgot about the person in bed next to her or didn't have any recolection of it all together. And then she wakes up with that "what have i done?" feeling in her stomach (pepto) and gets right on the camera before the "skanky ex" can get in touch with teddy and before she can scan the room for possible men she slept with.

JAMIE AND TEDDY VIDEO 3

I wasnt sure if it had been mentioned but i though it would be intrestin to say anyway.
i think you can safely say, the reasoning behind the change in camera location comes down to her sharing her bed. she either didnt want them to b seen on the video or disturb them while she was filming.

Also, everyone is saying how stupid she is but i think its safe to say she realised there was someone in her bed before she started filming, so she obviously didnt care that much if teddy saw them. and even if she did she could of always just recorded it again. im not sayin she has been completely faithful to him (because i dont), but i dont think there is anything between jamie and the mystery person.

Um, a few things about these speculations of where Teddy is...
Where would he buy a present and wrapping paper and such on a drilling platform in the middle of the Atlantic? How often and well does mail and shipping service work from out there?
Would you watch videos on the internet on a company provided and almost certainly filtered, monitored, and regulated internet connection? You can't just hook up to some local DSL or cable or hop in the neighbor's wireless out there.
How would you get a cell signal? Do satellite phones support texting, and would you want to pay that bill even if they do?
As for the time being disclosed by Jaime's reference to the time where he is vs where she is - I have fairly intelligent friends that can't do a simple time shift from east to west coast correctly, and she's supposed to be a ditz.

I find it more likely he's in Japan, where cell and internet access would be way easier. If Jaime did manage to get the time at all right that'd place him in Europe maybe, but then where and why?

Uh, that screenshot is actually from a PC. Wink
I might find time to do a tutorial on saving these videos, if more people think it'd help them. Otherwise a private message or two would suffice.

I do. Let's see:

Saving the world - Curing cancer and other terminal diseases
Following Dreams - Tons of loot to come from that kind of work, saving people, etc.
Jamie doesn't understand it - most people probably don't understand genetics and the research involved.

To b honest i think this makes more sense than him going all that way to work on a drilling platform like someone said earlier.

i don't think she meant that she literally didn't understand what he was doing. I think she couldn't understand why he had to go so badly, I'm for the Greenpeace thing against Chuai, that's why they haven't posted that it's opened, Greenpeace halted production on it and had to make them put back their open date. Also when someone says following their dreams they rarely refer to cash.
