Once was funny, now it's just mocking.

Yes, according to Fox News, Hollywood is the New Babylon. Of course it doesn't stop those same people constantly putting it down by calling it Hollyweird to enjoy the fruits...movies, music, fashion...I call it convenient morality. As for the music, I wouldn't know, I'm one of those heathens.

just to add, i do not believe that they are praying 'for real'. if they were that dedicated to their religion, they would not come on this show. they would not say that another houseguest mother was a b*, no matter how mad or angry they were at another hg. they would never say 'i'll pray for you' which they haven't done (at least that i have seen or read about) what they do is say smack about another hgs. i know perfect examples of real christian women walking the walk and talking the talk. this is not what amber and jameka are doing. jmo of course.

Yes it is mocking. And the mocking is not done with an even hand. I'm all for mocking as long as EVERYTHING is on the table to mock. I wonder what they might play if Eric starts talking about his religious beliefs?

LoL- please don't mention Fox while I'm eating. CBS is not responsible for the girls being mocked. They brought it on themselves.

IMO, BB is making fun of Jameka and Amber. I personally do not think Jameka is forcing her beliefs on others. Amber is interested, so she is trying to help her. I see no problem with that. ETA: Amber could use all the help she can get, IMO.

To me the music is disrespectful. I think they are giving Dick the good edit and are trying to make everyone against him look bad. It isn't up to the producers to say that the prayers are cheesy. The music is mocking them.

The production staff uses many things that show their personal biases, not just the organ music and the prayers. I believe they are making a mockery of Jam and Amber's faith and the hypocrisy of it and game play. "They are injecting their editorial judgment and I do not think it is right. "... It's not right, but they do this with everything actually.

It is a way for BB to sway the viewers. It really is no different than the way they selectively portray certain HG's so they get a specific reaction. It's in bad taste and speaks more to the lack of respect BB has for believers than it does about anything else.

What if they played cheesy "hypnosis" music as opposed to the church stuff? What editorial comment would that be making?

I think it's funny....just like in the beginning when Jen cried over her picture and BB played violin music. I'm surprised they don't play Jaws music whenever Dick comes into a room!!

Okay I took the Mute off and heard some music, I think I heard it the first time too, only nothing seemed out of the ordinary to me, everything clicked, their words, their tears, the music. Perfect!!

The violin music is not the same thing as church music.

I would have viewed Jameka as hypocritical if she did not feel bad about her actions after. She did and BB neglected to show that. Apparently they want the viewers to think that too and IMO, it's wrong.

I'm not offended. What does offend me is how Jam and Whaa Amber keep pulling up the "God" card. God this and God that.... Kayser didn't pull the trump card ALL THE TIME and if you read the live feeds, you'll see it's to the point of being over the top. You can still be a Christian and not have every discussion about God.

Kearie, they should ALL have theme music! Jessica's could be "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun".

Big Brother is not classy (Do I really need to point this out?). Houseguests make fools of themselves, and BB makes fun of them, and we make fun of them. They probably have meetings where they make lists of things they can do to bother one group or another so we'll talk about it.

IMO, these women are under mental stress and they are calling on their faith to get them through. It may be a joke to some, but very real to them. The music is demeaning--it's the not worst offense in the world, but I could do without it.

Amber's song- Tears On My Pillow by Little Anthoony and the Imperials. (I'm way old)

Ditch the organ music and use Johnny Cash's "Cry Cry Cry" for Amber. We could do a great thread on HG theme music!

I'm not pleased with the organ music whenever Jameka is talking. I wish BB would cut it out because IMHO it feels like the show is "mocking" their religious beliefs.
