CBS is using church/organ music as background for when Jameka or Amber get religious.

Now, I'm not a religious fanatic or anything, but it is starting to rub me the wrong way. They use it at every turn.

And I do not think it is fair play. They didn't play Islamic music when Kaysar talked about his religion did they? Hell no! There would be be a high non-PC price to pay for that... but why is it okay to do it in this situation? Aren't Jameka and Amber making enough of a farce of themselves without the editorial music added by CBS?

I don't find it makes Jameka a farce, because I do believe she is legetimatly praying. But Amber...the organ music when she prays is hilarious. I also believe that Amber is trying to pray like that more for the viewers. Nothing she does comes across as genuine.

Use of the organ music for the sermons is not only fair, it's fabulous!

Is the editorial addition of the music appropriate?

Would it have been appropriate if they played it when Kaysar prayed on his rug?

Would it have been appropriate when Jee did his religious thing to his father?

My hubby said that when she gets out and finds out about it that it's going to piss her off. He thinks they are making fun of her.
I didn't think so, but he says yes they are.

Oh, they are certainly making fun of her. No question in my mind.

But is it right for them to do it in this situation and not in others?

I thought it was funny at first, now I think it is completely in bad taste. And your right, had they done it with Kaysar the boards and news would be in an uproar.

I'm a 'freethinker' and I think that BB is making fun of Jameka and Amber.

I do not think that this is appropriate at all.

I'm also surprised that more people are not taking issue with it.

Well, Hollywood is the new Babylon, so it doesn't surprise me a bit. Yes, I think it's disrespectful and takes away from seeing things in their perspective.

Kaysar didn't bring his religion into the game. And Jee's prayer for his father was not made into part of the game, either. To me, that's the difference. Amber thinks God told her which guitars to smash-- I'm sorry, but that's leaving her open to mockery. Not her belief in God, but the absurdity of her statements.

I don't think anyone disrespects their beliefs. Just that they make such a production out of them.

Well I find the music choices 99% of the time laughable. They add nothing to the scene and only go to show how bad the CBS library music is.

Watching the Showtime feeds without the music is a better experience.

it was funny at first but now its like BB is making fun of her. I find it offensive since she is really praying from her heart

The difference is Kaysar and Jee never used their religion as part of their gameplay. It was a separate issue. Jameka and Amber think their God is not only a houseguest this year, but is in their alliance. That's why the music is so hilarious!

I don't think it is offensive but just Cheesy. I just can't figure out if BB is making fun of all the religious stuff in the house or is pushing it thinking it would bring in christian viewers. Are they trying to make Jameka and Amber look like the good guys and ED the bad guy or is it just the opposite?

Gee, I have to rewind that because I didn't even notice the music... I often put the Mute on when I watch because I can't stand some of them talking and the subtitles are just great...

I don't mind some church music, I thought it was this year's theme Evel against Saint...

A quote: "Amber thinks God told her which guitars to smash-- I'm sorry, but that's leaving her open to mockery."


Yes it is. But mockery from the viewer- NOT from the broadcaster. I don't need them (CBS) to tell me what is or is not ridiculous. They are injecting their editorial judgment and I do not think it is right.

That sobby scene of Amber in the HOH room with the headphones on and praying out loud would have been FAR MORE INTENSE and pathetic had they NOT played any music.

LOL, Tobor7.

I LMAO when they play the 'bad boy rock and roll' music when they show Dick having a temper tantrum, and then the soft violins when they show him having a 'special moment with Daniele'.

The production values are quite cheesy and amateurish to me. I actually HATE the TV show, and only watch it for the competitions that are blocked from the net.

It cracks me up when they play the organ music. It's almost as if TPTB find their piety as hypocritical as I do. At first I thought it was uncalled for, but the more I read and watch Jameka & Amber, the more I appreciate the organ music.
