Biloxi...great point on the cigarettes, can't count the amount of times my kids have said to me "but i could do blah blah blah" & my answer is sure you could...luckily they are smart enough to ask & then what. Basically one producer said go ahead and do it in one breath then picked up the phone and yelled to an intern...run out and pick up 7 or 8 cartons of marlboro red please, looks like well be needing them this year. Because she wasn't punished for the cigarettes which I think is what is confusing everyone, she was punished for going off slop and if she hadn't been then I would say...go ahead Jameka...go for hoh

My question is WHY did they NOT stop Dick's vile mouth? Because the hamsters have "freedom of speech" to say whatever they want unless it's a threat to someone regarding something outside the house. They gave ED warnings about his outside of the house threats to Jen (per Dick). FYI - They don't stop the racist comments either - like today's from Jameka about Dustin's eyes or Amber's anti-semite statements etc.

I notice that no one broached the subject of Jen previously destroying cigs and getting away with it....wish AG had been asked that one.

Can anyone say....whitewash? Thank you What!!! I totally agree. This was done to try to cover their own behinds regarding the behavior of BB. She will talk about Jen's punishment but 'don't talk about hg's dr's regarding Dick? Whitewash is putting it mildly.

I am wondering why we don't see many DR sessions this season. BBUK is much more 'over the top' as far as behaviour of the HGs and I am wondering if AG is pushing for this style of show...one UK HG was eventually evicted for racist comments, only after she was burned in effigy by angry groups on the outside.

There's only so much they can show on TV here. Half the stuff they show on UKBB (sweating, nudity) would never be able to be aired on CBS (Cable, yes, but only after 10PM).

Yep, Z, once again I agree. This is great TV (and live feed watching) to me and I wouldn't change a thing.

If any of you have a background in PR, could you weigh in on whether you think this was a legitimate interview? In my experience in the business world, oftentimes marketing/PR people write their own interviews...questions as well as answers...and submit them to the media for publication. I'm also questioning the timing of this "interview" - obviously they want to get info out in advance of Jen's elimination because of the potential uproar that will happen, but I also suspect it's because they are getting so many complaints and are attempting to put a positive spin on this season and all that has transpired.

Conspiracy theories abound!!! Actually, I think this is a pretty average season in terms of conspiracy theories. I don't think anything more out of the ordinary has happened this year than others that fans might decide was a conspiracy. Every season it's pretty amusing reading about the "disgust and outrage" fans have toward CBS. Threatening to sue, etc. Was this a fluff interview? Sure it was - what other kind does EW do? About 90% of the EW/People/Us interviews are complete fluff meant to bolster the person giving the interview. It's not about hard hitting investigative journalism. That's ok by me. Sometimes I need a bit of fluff in my life. I read it with my eyes open.

Pixieduster, as far as the timing of this interview. This author was on housecalls I believe on Tue or Wed and had said that the calls raised some good questions about the rules of America's player and other things and would be setting up an interview with Alison and to watch for it. She came through for us.

My unprofessional opinion on the interview, for what it is worth. AG gives interviews every year. This one is no different. I'm sure they were smart and decided a head of time what their talking points would be on most of these subjects. I can't imagine going into an interview unprepared and neither would CBS. With that said, I thought the interview was nice. The interviewer actually knew what was going on in the game and asked questions that I have seen people post on the boards. Now, some might not like her answers, some may think she is lying, and some may think she was evading the questions. To me, she went out and did her job. I didn't expect her to come out and air dirty laundry about DR sessions (no matter how much enjoyment I would get from that) or favor one player over another. I guess people who don't like how the game is being played this year are going to be upset that she did not come down on Dick. Or people who don't like the AP twist will come down on her for her response tomustardgate. For me, I am glad that CBS is doing this show. It is their show to do with however they want. If I as a viewer do not like that show then I have the option to turn it off. Could things be better, absolutely. However, the only control I have is to watch or not watch. I guess for me it gets very old to hear all the negataive complaints over and over again about this show and AG.

I have to agree Dfng. If I despised a show as much as I'm hearing from others I would avoid it at all costs. I hated seasons 4 and 5 and didn't participate much or watch much and cancelled my feeds. I liked 6 and watched it faithfully. Last year it was okay, but Dani wasn't the same ole' gal and it took some of the fun out of it for me. This year you can't drag me away, it's as much fun as 1,2 and 3. If it wasn't I'd be playing POGO or watching some of my other favorite show which I will have to catch in re-runs..lol I think Allison has done a heck of a job casting some real different people in this house and not a crap load of college kids on spring break.

This interview was the biggest bunch of BS ever. Allison stated they cannot manipulate the HG's because they have viewers watching. (The viewers are not watching the manipulation take place because the viewers do not get to see the DR sessions where all the manipulation happens.) She stated that we do ask them to talk to us in pro's and con's and will ask them to weigh both sides. (We know this happened with the HG's when BB wanted to keep Eric and Dick because the HG's complained to each other about the pressure placed on them to rethink their votes. Then we hear Jess last night, in so many words, ask the others if any of them were asked in DR to rethink their vote against Jen. It never happened with Jen...I wonder why? Were the producers suddenly not interested in the HG's weighing the pro's and con's for Jen? Certainly sounds rigged to me.
