I t really doesn't matter to me what happens to Amber. But I really hate the ignorance excuse! She should really get an education and learn what is right and wrong. As we saw she didn't know half of the vocabulary. Iknow this is a little different but you can't plead ignorance to the law as well.

I don't think ignorance is being used as an excuse by posters, I think it's being used as explanation. I haven't read anywhere that people thought she should be excused (though I have read it about Dick and Dani, so the question is why not them, too). I agree she should have been fired, but the blog that this was posted from presented it with such glee, that it saddens me. I think Amber is in a very dangerous time right now. We've seen the depths to her emotions. I just hope she can get to a place where she can heal. It's over and done. The story definitely grew legs, though. It's like people were waiting in glee for Amber to get out and see what a mess she's made of her life. I just don't get that part. That's all.

I just threw the nurse thing out to see if anyone would think that was ok????????? Maybe beauty school doing hair? She could make good money and raise her daughter. The sad thing is she thinks she said nothing wrong

I actually do not think Amber should have been fired. However, that is likely to be one of the risks of participating on a reality show like BB. I don't either. If she got fired, then Dick, Dani and Eric should be fired as well. Dick for the way he treated/bullied some of the women and the horrible things he said he'd like to do to them; Dani because she said she was mean to her customers and Eric for some of the horrible things he said as well. The things Dani is saying outside the house are completely opposite of what she really said and how she acted. If none of the others are going to be penalized, then Amber shouldn't either. PC was nowhere to be found in that house with the likes of Dick, so Amber isn't the only one who should be held to that standard.

I think that is up to their employers Cricket. Dicks already know how he is I imagine. I heard Eric quit his job before going in the house.

Here is another report I found (this one at Jokers) http://forums.jokersupdates.com/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=BBInDepth&Number=7276857&page=0&view=expanded&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 I attended the BB8 finale show at CBS Radford (was in the VIP green room). Afterwards, as we usually do each year, we went to the main hotel where they house the jury members to meet with them. Here are some notes from that night: >> Dick & Danielle arrived at the hotel first in a black Lincoln Town Car. They arrived under very heavy undercover security provided by CBS. In the past years we have never seen this kind of security when the winner/runner-up arrive. There were 4 security guards waiting for them, 2 outside and 2 inside all talking with each other via walkie. When their car pulled up another security member jumped out of the car first, positioned himself at the back of the car and began to scan the arrival area (it was if the President had arrived). This guard was also carrying a gun. The back door of the car finally opened and Dick and Danielle were hustled out of the car and immediately to their rooms. They were never seen again the rest of the night (this was around 9p Pacific). The extraordinary security leads me to believe that there may have been threats. The rest of the Jury members arrived a little bit later on two buses (Jury members are housed in one hotel and the earlier evicted HG's are housed at another along with family members). >> While they may be friendly again Eric and Jessica were a bit distant that night. Jessica spent a large amount of time in the lobby on the phone and when Eric finally appeared downstairs they were separate and Eric spent a lot of time explaining what happened and the AP actions to Jessica. >> The HG's all met at the main bar at the hotel. Everyone made an appearance except for Jameka and Amber who never came down from their rooms. In attendance was Mike, Carol, Kail, Zach, Nick, Dustin, Eric, Jessica & Jen. Joe made a brief appearance and then left. >> Nick visited Dani in her room. When he came down to the bar he was carrying the plastic rat from the Tiki competition that had the question about him on it. >> Zach's parents were at the bar along with an old friend of his. His ex-gf "Sweets" also showed up later. She's tall, blonde and has a killer body. They were friendly during the visit but it didn't look like getting back together might be in the offing. He told her several times that he played the game for her and won 3 competitions for her. She took his head in her hands and said that what he did was sweet but that was the extent of the closeness. >> Jen is actually nice in person, she was talking with everyone, laughing, posing for photo's, etc. Kail came up from her hotel to see Jen and was with her family (husband and 2 sons). Dustin was being his usual flirtatious self. Nick is very nice and was friendly with everyone. Zach was... well, he's Zach... Carol was quiet and reserved most of the night and Mike was friendly but like in the house, you hardly knew he was at the bar. Eric and Jessica were very friendly, Jessica is very sweet (and very short) and Eric was quite diplomatic (his brothers were at the bar too). >> Dustin's credit card was declined when he went to pay for a drink at the bar. Not unusual since he spent almost 3 months away from bill paying. >> In former HG news: Howie and Marvin made it up to the bar and chatted with the current ex-HG's... Howie as usual was the life of the party. Sarah was there with her sister. She and James have broken up and she's back to being single, going to school and it looks like starting a show-biz career. She says she's happy being single again. At the finale (and outside the soundstage later) Kaysar and his mom, Chicken George and Janelle and Beau were in attendance. That's about it... will try to post notes about the wrap party tonight after I get back.

Thanks for posting Moosie's pics, Milosmom. Jen looked absolutely gorgeous, esp. in the one with Dustin. She looked so much happier than she did in the house. Sarah looked nice, but I didn't esp. love her dress. I wonder if her boyfriend came with her. Does anyone know who the 2 guys on the front left and back left in the group photo are? Zach looks so nice when he smiles. I wonder if that thing he does with his nose/lips/teeth is a habit. It sure makes him look diff. than when he's smiling. Janie looked sooo pretty in that aqua dress. I've been wondering about something. Dani's watched all the seasons of BB. Why would she pick the same dress Janie wore last year. Was she copying her? Was she so sure she was going to win she thought she'd wear the same dress? I don't get it. I know she copied Janie with the Ugh boots (not the same effect at all) but who would want to be seen in the same dress. There is no comparison between Daniele and Janie. I don't get it.

How could Daniele not realize it was the same dress Janie wore? Didn't she say she watched Season 7? Janie wore that dress @ the finale, right? I kept getting the feeling throughout the whole game that Dani thought she was the next Janelle. Daniele may be surprised when she isn't treated the same by the public as Janelle has been.

I watched season 7 and did not notice it either. Danielle doesn't strike me as the fashionista type at all. She dresses like the young woman she is.

My understanding is that Jameka never called Dick's mom an F-ing b**ch, and I was watching when that happened. The f word was Dick's addition. She did call her a b**ch, and made sure to apologize in person for her remark. I'm also sorry for Amber. I don't excuse ANY racist remarks, ever. But I do think there's a difference between ignorance & malicious racism. Ignorant people can learn & change, and I think there is great hope for all people in that view. Hopefully, this will be a harsh but neccesary lesson Amber's facing. In time, I could definitely see Amber in some kind of health resources position. She's empathetic, warm & talkative. I think she may do well in something like elderly care, where caring people are sorely needed. Again, I'm in NO WAY defending her racist remarks, just looking at the potential.

I was wondering the same thing Cricket about why she wore the same dress as Janelle. I thought she did it on purpose because she's very observant of details and she's followed BB and Janelle enough to have noticed something like that with her keen observation skills, so I couldn't understand why she'd do that. It didn't occur to me that it may have been by accident, I'm not so sure it was. I'd totally forgotten Janie wore Ugg boots in her seasons! And Dani sure did wear those alot, now you really make me wonder if Dani did intend to emulate Janelle on purpose. Maybe we'll get lucky and one of the interviewers will ask her, LOL.

From SS Dick posted on his myspace- September 20, 2007 - Thursday EvelDick is back in the house Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities Ok, I am still in a hotel room and finally starting to take it all in..... although it seems very unreal to me still at this point. I want to thank all my friends for their love and support during this (to quote Dustin) "interesting" summer.... To all my "fans" (fans.... very strange and odd term for me to use, and still not quite comfortable with.) Thank you very much. I am very surprised that so many people enjoyed my antics on the show. Going into the final two with my daughter was the highlight of my summer for sure... THE BEST TEAM TO EVER PLAY THE GAME!!! I will be back soon. I am off to the wrap party now and will have even more to say later.

I was trying to say non-controversial but must say I am literally stunned by how many are feeling bad for Amber. I think there are a few factors to consider that I haven't seen discussed here. First, foremost IMHO, is she commented on it and said how it really wasn't that big a deal and was just because she was mad at Eric. Now I'm sorry, but having heard it/replayed it etc, you do NOT go off on Jews if you are not truly prejudiced that wasn't anger. Any small shot she had at me just letting it go were lost with her flip dismissal, and not taking any personal responsibility for her actions. Second, she works in a service industry that caters to travelers. Many of those are likely Jewish. I thihk the hotel had quite solid grounds for dismissal since they are there to provide a staff that will provide the best/most comfortable service to their clients. I think she alienated too many potential clients with not one drop of understanding or remorse to not suffer an consequences. Last and most important....folks tend not to learn and grow often in life unless pushed and forced to accept parts of their character that they aren't seeing. At least now there is a slight chance she will exam herself, her Mother's views that she agreed with, and why she offended many in the viewing audience regardless of religion. I feel it was the right choice for her and the hotel. If she does take this negative and look to see/understand/change her very ignorant views then I'm all for her getting another job very soon. I'm certain it's not that hard to get a job as a cocktail waitress in Vegas even if she doesn't, but my hope for her is that she will gain some person insight into how horrid and hurtful her words were. Rant off...stepping down off soapbox!

Oh ITA Lurk. Many are not realzing how hurtful those comments that some are dismissing are to those who have been subjected to such a horrific history as the Jewish community has been. This is the hotel/casino's right to do this. People keep saying well Dick and Dani and so and so should have this or that done and it is not fair... this is not being done by BB/CBS guys... this is by HER employer which has the right to do this as she is employed in the service industry in a tourist town and is out there meeting and talking with people every single day. Honestly, would you want to be served by someone in even a resteraunt whom had slurred and put down your race or something similar? I would not and Amber put herself on national TV and chose to make those remarks. I said it earlier, if Dani's or Dick's employers chose to fire them, then that is their right and if they chose to do so, then fine... but, that is each employer's individual choice. Again, I also think that this was compounded by Amber thinking she was such a "good person" also. Whereas, I don't think Dick ever thought he was a good person.. who knows. Thanks again for the updates Milos... kinda interesting to hear that Sarah and James are split up. Also, as for the Dani dress thing... I never even noticed it to be honest. I think UGS are pretty much a generic thing aren't they with many people wearing them, I know I do.

Interesting add on toe Moosie's post: "saw Dick meet Kail's husband too and Dick said, "Oh God, you must hate me!" and Kail and her husband both hugged him (and all the kids) and said, "No way!" It's a game and the players realize that shortly after it's over and they are back in their real worlds. Too bad some fans take it so seriously!"
