I just received an email from a friend who works in CBS's legal division in New York. He told me it is the talk of the office that they are investigating information that Allison and Dick have recent history together and that Allison hosted Dick, Daniel and Vincent in her home just a couple of weeks before the BB8 cast was announced. He said the PR Department is also getting involved.

Anyone else hear any rumors like this?

I hope it's true.

It would explain WHY he was allowed to cross the line so many times and not get any penalties.

AND it would explain WHY she as HEAD Producer or whatever allowed it.

We need to point out that this is completely unconfirmed information

Oh, that Vincent. I was thinking CBS executive or something. Thanks.

I'd have to not believe it. Allison would not be that dumb.

If it is true then end the show now and just give them the money.

LOL, What I have heard tons of rumours of this kind before about all seasons! It wouldn't surprise me if this was true given the way this season has gone, but it also wouldn't surprise me if it was entirely bogus as well!

Seems a really stupid thing for Alison to do if it is true....

I would think that if you worked in the legal division of a tv network, the network would have a problem with an employee passing rumors around via email, especially since they only heard these rumors because of their position at the network. That makes me go hmmmm. And if I were at the network, I would be looking for the head of that employee.....

i totally agree, dizzb. we almost had a paralegal fired here for something similar. her mouth is wired shut now.

ETA: and, anyone who thinks that just be both parties (the sender & the receiver) deleting the email will hide the fact it was sent is very unfamiliar with how the WWW works. that email is on at least 2 if not more servers and can easily be retrieved.

From the Moderator:

Very true. I am just repeating what he told me.

As much as I think Allison has this season all planned out as the Donato Family Hour, I don't really want to believe it was that orchestrated from even before the game started and I told him so.

The thing is, there are people that apply and people that are chosen to be on the show. So Im not shocked at all.

On the other hand, a person working in a legal department of a major corporation could get fired for revealing confidential info like that around, I hope they didnt use the company assets to spread that info, true or not.

This would explain why they've gone to vortex when Dani talks about what she was told before the show. She mentioned in the last couple of days that the week seven twist info wasn't correct. I remain skeptical about it, but thanks for passing along the info, What.

Well, if you really want to investigate how they were chosen it shouldn't be a surprise that they got together to discuss their casting.
Any casting has a step-by-step history, they will have either applied or being recruited and in all of these steps there are lots of chances to get together and discuss the pros and cons of being picked for BB 8.

Not surprising at all. It would be too naive to think that they were picked at random from a bunch of people who applied. A lot of thinking is put into choosing a particular individual.
It's not a random thing at all and that involves a LOT OF TALKING!

True, Spunky. But if this wer epart of the interview process and they are not supposed to know that they are going to be on the show together, then what are they being interviewed together for? And why in her home and not at the studio? And why was Vincent there -- other than that he was going to be used as an integral part to give background through the website.

Sounds all much too cozy to me. And apparently also to some at CBS.

speaking of unsubstantiated rumors....and things that make you go hmmmmm.....

I find it a tad odd that we have not seen any sequester footage AT ALL...

I was reading the livescreencaps thread where a live interview with Janelle was broadcast on the live feeds. Janelle made a comment to the effect that Jen is threatening to leave or may have left the the sequester house.

hmmmmmmmmmmm......

Wouldn't surprise me really.... I could see Jen wanting to be the first to do that...

I have a hard time believing Jen left sequester. She embraced everything BB when she was on the show - the unitard, the slop, the bunny suit. I would think after two months of putting up with Dick, she would enjoy four weeks of vacation.

It's not unprecedented...I heard that Marcellus left the jury house last year when Howie was constantly arguing with him (but he didn't leave sequester-they just isolated him). If Jen was having problems with some of the other jury people, I could see them just moving her to a seperate location.

I bet she's mad because she didn't realize she wouldn't be on TV any more.

After many, many emails back and forth between me and the FCC, I finally received this:

CIMS00000526683 - Quick Question Re: Big Brother US

You are receiving this email in response to your inquiry to the FCC.

Good afternoon,

Programs such as Big Brother are classified as entertainment programs. The network airing the program holds the rights and decides how it will be shown as well and what the outcome of the program will be.

Please contact the network if you have any questions or concerns.

Regards,
FCC, CGB, Gettysburg PA

Rep Number : TSR27


After starting a thread a few weeks ago that the mods added the words 'alleged' to, I was like a dog with a bone! I had to know the answer!!

I have been in contact with Margo at the FCC and can show you the multiple emails, but I don't want to take up all that space.

Finally, just now, I received the response above. Now that I know it's not really a game show, I feel more comfortable watching it in a more detached manner, and will certainly never vote for anything BB related.

Just thought I'd pass it on, and if the mods would like me to forward my email correspondence backing this up, I would be happy to do so.
