i don't think amber had a problem, she was all but walking around the house naked after the challenge.

Hopefully, this week's evictee will explain whether compulsory nudity was in their contract. S/he could be asked about that on House Calls? There is a difference between compulsory nudity and willful nudity, and the latter is what viewers see on non-USA Big Brother programs.

This just went along with the rest of the show IMO. Nothing they do/don't do surprises me anymore.

I'm not the least bit offended by nudity but the HGs being nude for this competition made no sense. In fact, the whole competition made no sense. Plus all they ended up doing was turning them into big white blurs for the TV show. LOL – They could have held the competition without the HGs.

The whole idea was obviously exploitive, dumb and poorly executed.

I wasn't offended. I just thought it was disturbing. I didn't see the point.

I didn't see a reason for the nudity either since it couldn't be shown on television nor was it shown on the live feeds.

I really think it was for the benefit of the "behind the walls" people, maybe their summer "bonus"

I'm not a prude by any means but I am sure Dani and Jameka were both uncomfortable.

I guess you'ld be surprised by what people will do for a BB shopping spree. Their hesitation to get naked sure left in a hurry.

You said exactly how I felt about it. I don't mind nudity at all, but this was senseless and done just for some sort of shock value.

I thought the competition was stupid.

I didn't think it was necessary in past years and wasn't necessary this year.

Thanks for starting this thread so I can vent a bit.

Yes, I found it extremely gratuitous; there was no reason for this comp to be done naked and it ticked me off. And I guess it's the father-daughter angle that creeps me out.

Big Brother really should be on at 10 p.m. This stuff would be a lot more fun for adults with a slightly edgier content later in the evening than me feeling "unchy" during the family hour.

I thought it was terrible because really there was no reason to be nude. Come on are they that desperate to see a naked body or two?

Maybe they need a boost in ratings or something.

I got the impression that the clothes were shed by the contestants, that they weren't forcefully stripped naked by the production staff.

They should have let them wear underwear.

The only problem I had with it was it was a recycled challenge and BB didn't come up with something new. Otherwise, they may have well as been in spacesuits for as interesting as it is to watch people blotted out by cgi.

The guy who yelled, "I saw a boobie" was just trying to throw the girls off, they couldn't see anything.
Apparently, Jess and Jameka found it "liberatng," while Amber hasn't hidden herself on several occasions as there are a dozen photos of her topless and nude in the house. There's also a couple of Jameka where she didn't cover herself either, but I don't know if that was from before or after the comp (maybe she's more relaxed about it now?) Only Danielle seemed bothered by it at first, but she seemed to get over it quickly.
I didn't have any problem with it, but yeah, it was totally gratuitous.

I think that nudity is fine if you choose to be nude for your own reasons. To make nudity a stipulation for a contest, where, if you refuse to participate, the other players are automatically disqualified along with you is wrong. If anyone had refused, the clothes they were wearing would have not been used, and the contest couldn't have been completed.

I have no problem with nudity when it's not gratuitous or compulsory.

Absolutely NO NEED for the girls to be topless OR nude in that challenge....because CBS didn't allow it on the live feeds, and they "blurbed" out the "naughty bits"......so in MY OPINION (I can't believe I agree with Danielle Donato on ANYTHING, but...)the ONLY reason for the nudity of the girls, was for the cameramen and crew to get a "look".....

STUPID and unecessary....CBS is as bad as Jerry Springer....but at least Jerry Springer has "pay per views" where people can SEE and hear the bleeped out action.....what is CBS's reasoning????? NONE! IMHO!

I think they were behind those walls with beers, slapping themselves on the back, having a good ol' time watching the live porn.

My husband says it wasn't their backs they were slapping. We both said BB should no longer be on regular TV anymore, it needs to move to HBO or Showtime <if they would even have them> or at the very least out of primetime.

He sat here this morning and hand wrote a letter to the FCC, mailed it at lunchtime suggesting they force this show to be on later in the evening or on cable. For him, the nudity was the straw, Dicks behavior, the ice tea incident, all the bleeping of Dick and Eric's mouth and Dick's spitting has no business being on in primetime and CBS should be ashamed of themselves.

Silly BB comp. They prob thought it would stir up lots of press and talk. It was just silly.

I thought the comp prize was silly and stupid too. Most people are picky about their clothes and like to pick things out in a their own time. Being a clothes horse myself I would not have liked this comp. I rather have had a $$$$$$ thrown at me to spend at a shop of my choice. But it is BB.

And Jess must have been told to have it boys Vs girls. BB has a hand in everything :-)....so the story says.

Count me as on of those who wondered why they made them go naked....it was totally unnecessary, and though it wasn't on live feed, and it was "whited out", I am cynical enough to believe that at some point somebody is going to have a copy of the unedited footage on the internet for all to see.
I'm pretty sure what we didn't see was the HG's questioning BB about why nudity was necessary, and if they were forced to do it, or given the choice of opting out.
