I recall reading a post not too long ago about BB breaking laws because it was a game show...didn't give it too much thought because I still don't put that much faith in the integrity of game shows.

Amber just asked Jen that if she winds up in seqester tomorrow that she has a few things she'd like Jen to tell Dustin. Jen says, "o.k." Wonder what that's about, other than "I loooooove you soooooo much!"

If BB was a predetermined show, Will and Janie would have been in the final two last year. Janie and Kayser would have been in the Season 6 final two. Yadda yadda, bling bling bling bling Jun and Allison WHAAA?. BB may try and steer their houseguests in DR, but they don't control how they ultimately vote. No problems with that here - Big Brother is supposed to screw with the hamsters. I just wish they'd do more of it IN the house instead of in the diary room.

I remeber Survivor had issues with the feds because they used shots of pepople swiming in a comp yet they were not the contestants...don't remeber the outcome totally but feel that CBS ended up being okay

The response from the FCC is posted on the CBS web site and it hasn't been removed. My daughter who works at TV station has said all along it is not a game show it is entertainment. I don't think it is the same as Wrestling since i do think the outcome can change but there are many things that are pre-ordained and arraigned.

Kale I saw that earlier but it was in a link to a post on the CBS site. And I guess what they said is BB is NOW not considered a game show. I didn't have the time/patience to read the full thread but my guess is they no long meet the qualifications since they interfere too much in the game play. But I am nearly sure that is NOT how BB started out. Scary that they are admitting to be in a catagory such a WWF. Made me wonder if there's even more behind the scenes fixing than we know. Hard to fathom that but....

Interesting Kale. I always thought it was not appropriate for BB to make the Will/Boogie deal, but at the time I didn't feel like the course of play was moving fixedly in that direction.

Considering they all have to have AFTRA cards Kale is right. Contestants on REAL game shows do not have to be in the union.

Thanks, Jgirl. I thought I heard him say something about someone ignoring him, but maybe I'm dreaming I heard that. I've been on the boards pretty much all day (dumb me)

Quick question: Is Chicken George still doing promo work in Vegas? I was there over the weekend and could have sworn that I saw him on one of those videos that the casinos play over and over again.

Reh, I read in a HG update when this season started that he moved back to IL but had been in Vegas. So my guess is they either have him on film or maybe he still does some stuff (am sure he would if they asked lol). And I'd trust your recognizing him by now lol

Rehtse, I don't know for sure but believe I read that CG had moved back home. In any case, videos with him might still be used there.
