Didn't Maggie also say something about how the hospital staff treated some people differently. Like they treated minorities poorly because they assumed they didn't have money to pay their bills? It was something outrageous like that, but it's been 2 years so I don't recall exactly.

About Janie discovering her dress was on backward. I wonder what the reaction would be if the same thing happened to Amber. Just saying.

Darclyte, if I'm not mistaken she said she didn't like treating the poor people. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what she said.

I think you're right Aurora. I remember it had to do with poor people, but I seem to remember that she also said something about minorities, but maybe my memory is wrong.

Some folks feel that once the show is over the fans should back off. I agree to a point. I would never condone rabid, negative, stalking fan behaviour. That's making a bad situation worse. BUT THE HAMSTERS know they are on a TV and more importantly - INTERNET program... Therefore I believe they have to live with the repercussions and consequenses of their time on the show. If they are truly contrite, it will come across in their dealings with folks. While I am frustrated and extremely unhappy with the Amber protective/coverup, knowing that she will eventually come face to face with the situation makes it a bit more palatable. Mind you, for every person who thinks she's a <77>, there are certainly many folks who will concur and applaud her stance. Some covertly, some overtly. So she may not learn the error of her ways, from this episode in her life. It may actually reinforce it, especially if she's surrounded by likeminded folks, like her family, when she gets back to the real world. And all her potential redoubled miseries can be blamed on those of us who have - or should have big noses (to make it easier for her to identify us, avoid, and disparage us.)

Basically, due to the houseguest's behavior in the house, BB is not allowing any more of the jury members to be interviewed and will not be made available to the media for questioning. They'll be made available immediately after the finale. I wonder if this is because AP said because CBS/Alison G. is ignoring Amber's remarks in the house, they DO NOT want to interview her. I can only hope Alison G. is in a lot of legal trouble this year. It would serve her right for trying to take what started out as a somewhat decent show in Season 1 to the lower class MTV level.

Then why allow Dustin to be interviewed? His remarks were just as bad for calling his black dog a "n***** bit**". These hgs have somehow collectively managed to offend people of several races, creeds, lifestyles, genders etc. with their limited views. My thought was if Dustin was allowed to "defend" his remarks, then give Amber the same chance. They shouldn't let her get a free ride out of this one.

Well, I still think Ivette's comments in BB6 with respect to Kaysar are some of the most vile (sand n*****). She was never taken to task by the media way they seem to want to go after Amber.

Exactly, Jeanne. Amber is not the first houseguest to make racist remarks. Why the change of attitude by TPTB now? Something else must be up - a lawsuit, a nervous breakdown, the wrath of God?

My theory is that the advocacy organization that spoke out with respect to Amber's Jewish comments is a very visible and powerful one.

I tend to agree with Landslide. There has to be more to it. Others have made racist/homophobic/ anti-religious/etc. remarks every season. There must be some other underlying reason.

We all need to bear in mind that hollywood is currently going through a "no tolerance" stance regarding racial ethnic or sexuality slurs. I say this based on the Grey's Anatomy situation.

I agree, Jeanne and..she said a lot of them to his face very rudely. Here's my question. The hostess on Housecalls never knows whats going on. She doesn't watch the feeds or Showtime and hardly the shows. We will no longer have evicted HG's on Fridays. Exactly why is Housecalls even on this year?

OK What exactly did Amber say? So many houseguests have said so much I just can't imagine how what she said was worse.

Amber made a derogatory remark against Jewish people in general. Nothing worse than what Dustin used for his dogs name, or nothing worse than what Eric did with his abusive incest stories of DandD, and nothing worse than what Dick has done either. To me they are all pretty much up there.

I did read about that one statement that Amber said about Jewish people. Has she said more than that? People keep saying she said something about Asians too? What did she say? I didn't hear that one at all. Jess has said stuff about Asians too. What did Amber say that was worse? Dick has said lots about gays and women and more. Dustin and Amber did make those comments about the dog which while not good, I think were blown WAY out of proportion but still we are only hearing about amber and not Dustin and Dustin said more.

Cndeariso, here's what Gretchen said. Please note that it is not a CBS statement -- it's a statement from Big Brother. I'm pretty sure I captured everything GM said -- the words she seemed to emphasize I have put into all caps. _______________________________________________________________ Gretchen Massey’s verbatim transcript – (reading from a sheet of paper in her hands): “Here is a statement from Big Brother…and it says, uh… ‘We have made jury members of Big Brother available to the press the past few seasons, always with the proviso that their questions not inform the ejected houseguests of influences outside his or her personal experience in the house. This season, several cast members have made either offensive statements or exhibited controversial behavior. We respect journalists’ interests and right to pose questions about these statements, but at the same time believe that doing so could provide information that influences the final vote and potential outcome of this 12-week competition. For that reason – FOR THAT REASON – the remaining jurors will NOT be made available to the media for the duration of the program. They will, of course, be available to the press immediately following the Big Brother finale on September 18th. (Gretchen then sets the sheet down in her lap and glances at it two or three times while continuing to comment about the statement): “So, due to, it looks like, the houseguests’ own behavior themselves, whenever perhaps they’ve come out, or been interviewed, or the way they’ve answered questions, now the decision has been made to truly, truly, sequester each and every jury member to protect the integrity of the game.” (Shakes her head from side to side, leans forward in her chair, face gets closer to the camera): “I know you’re disappointed, I know, me too – especially today. I wanted to talk to Miss Amber so, so badly. But – we’re going to have a fantastic show. Before we get into it, let’s take a look at Amber’s exit last night. Look at this…” Scene then shifts from Gretchen to clip of Julie Chen announcing the live vote results.

All you need is Windows Media or Real Player. In fact I've been able to connect using my T-mobile Dash thanks to Naja which would be impossible otherwise.

If anyone should not be allowed to talk to the press it is Amber. She is such a wild card and she is so delusional. She would totally freak if she was asked about her anti-semitic comments that she probably wouldn't be able to go to sequester. That would ruin the integrity of the game (such as it is) so I think that it is probably the best thing in the long run that we wait to hear from her after the show. I don't really like this turn of events but I do understand it. She will get what is coming to her. Karma
