I'm not so sure that is incorrect. Just a couple of nights ago Dani was talking in the kitchen about going to Allison's (sounded like dinner) and immediately the feeds went to trivia. I've only had the feeds since last Labor Day weekend, and my curiousity was peaked by that little tidbit.

It doesn't upset me that Allison would have potential HG's over for dinner. It is sort of an interview. What does upset me is the fact that D/D were not supposed to have spoken in two years. They also were not supposed to have known they were both going to be on the show. That seems kind of far fetched if they both were at Allison's. I wonder if she was trying to figure out which two of the three she would put in.

Yes, Hobbs, it's just like a 'private audition'. "Welcome to Allison's casting couch, Dick".

even if Dani did talk about going to Allison's for dinner, who is to say it was the Allison of CBS? there are plenty of people named Allison in this world.

I talked with my friend in NY. He said that because the show is so close to ending, they have decided not to take any action against Allison until after it is over.

I guess there is the potential of conflict of interest if Allison managed to get friends onto the show and worse the friends end up winning the game. It further lowers the credibility of the show. I'm not sure of the legal aspect of this but it seems like fraud to me. Of course, we have yet to see any proof of this from any independent source that is willing to identify themselves. What is motivating your friend to reveal this information to you, What?

Jimmer, He just knows I follow the show and in an email covering a number of things he mentioned what was going on. He talks about work a lot in his emails to me because I find TV and how it works very interesting. I got the sense this is something that is pretty well known at CBS headquarters and he thought I'd find it interesting. I am not sure there is any other motivation than that. I don't know if it is true or not; but I assume it is. Why would he lie? But, because I know it is only a rumor, I simply gave out the information presented to me and tried to keep my normal "objective" view of Dick out of my post.

If there was really something that had been done wrong to compromise the game they wouldn't wait until after the season to address it. Every year and in every reality show people always accuse the producers et al of cheating, etc - nothing comes of it as usually emotions make it more than it is.

And if CBS is waiting until the show is over then they are guilty, too, of wanting to make sure they CASH IN on BB before it is exposed as having some legal issue.

deMol is still on the credits of the show. I wonder how he feels about what went on--like ED's abusive behaviour.

maybe the question should be why do you feel the need to perpetuate the rumor What.

I am bothered by the fact in many more ways that someone in a "legal department" is passing on rumors and classified information. It seems odd and unethical on their own part, so saying or calling AG's actions unethical now would be hypocritical of them to do so IMO.

Shops, You are exactly right. Too much "ugly conjecturing" going on. Why does Alison deserve this deflamation of character. Is it due to her association with BB? Does not seem right to me.
