The camera and crew have already gotten plenty of looks. There are cameras everywhere, even in the shower. Even if the footage isn't shown, I'm sure the crew turns on the cam whenever they feel like it and the HG have no idea.

Sunday, August 26, 2007 - 10:48 pm I thought the nudity was in very bad taste. Why couldn't they have told them to wear panties and bras? because the male camera crew probably would be disappointed. This was strictly for the crew since the nudity would never make it onto tv. The girls could have all been wearing Gstrings and pasties/bandaides. it would have looked just the same for tv...but the men in studio wouldnt have gotten a peek By the way, the camera in the bathroom isnt on unless two people are in there. and most of the women shower with their clothes ON! this was the first chance to see these women totally naked and bouncing. You guys do realize Alison Grodner also does "Family Business" with Seymore Butts?? she has no issue with doing shows involving porn, not sure why anyone wouldnt expect her to throw a little T & A onto BB. but didnt they do a similar comp another year? but I thought they had to switch bathingsuits with the opposite sex.

My mother and I both thought it was in poor taste to have them do the challenge nude. Although, I must admit that we were complaining at first, but by the end of it, they looked so stupid that we actually laughed. Even still they could have done the challenge just the same in their swimming suits.

I just remembered--didn't CBS move Big Brother 2 from 9 to 10 p.m. because of the increasingly adult behavior of the houseguests?

At the very least it needs to go on after 10:00 p.m. or be moved to cable.

voluntary nudity is great with me but compulsory nudity is in poor taste. it should be a choice, not a requirement.

It was still optional, anyone could have chosen not to go through with the competition. My only beef with this comp was that they had a father and daughter participating at the same time. Seemed a bit shady. Aside from that, it doesn't sound like any of the house guests have a problem with the comp.

The whole idea was obviously exploitive, dumb and poorly executed. sums it up perfectly Jimmer

As an adult, I don't have a problem with nudity as long as it is done artfully and in good taste. This was not. Like other posters before me, I saw no reason for it except to give the cameramen a few jollys. That being said, the MAIN problem I had with this contest was the willingness and enthusiam that that the two so-called fiercely religious women in the house, Amber and Jameka, had to participate in the competition. I would like to know what passage in their Bibles state that it is ok to take off your clothes and go nude on television for the the world to see, for the sake of getting some new clothes? Whatever happened to "practicing what you preach?"

In a pre-show interview, AG explained that the shower cameras and the bathroom cameras are not turned on at all unless two people enter them at the same time. (Two people in one shower stall, two people in the toilet area) In fact, she said that those screens are completely sheilded unless two people go in and then they're uncovered and the cameras are turned on. It's easy for the HGs to tell if the cameras are on. The green light on the side of the camera is on if they're being filmed, a red light is on if the camera is on stand by and no light is on at all if the camera is off. You often see the HGs sneek a look at the cameras before talking about something sensitive to see if they're on. Seeing that they are in fact on camera often seems to change the direction of the conversation. There is PLENTY of opportunity to have private, off camera, discussions - they just do it when they know they aren't currently on camera. I too didn't see the point of the nudity for this competition. I'm not against nudity, just didn't see the point as they couldn't show any of the nudity on TV anyway.

God did create people nude so I'm not too sure that there are Bible passages that speak against it. According to Bible believers, we'd all still be nude if Adam and Eve didn't eat the fruit and see their nakedness.

that wasn't a new competition. It was used on the BB, I think the one with Tonya - was that her name, and it was one of the first games they played, I think to get a luxury like the hottub. A lot of the games before Janet J exposed her boob were more suggestive.

It was done for ratings and, most likely, DVD sales. You know. BB Gone Wild. What made me roll my eyes about the whole thing, was the God Squad. All it took was free clothes, lol!

Webchiq....I was just trying to make the point that Amber and Jameka go around that house praying and reading the bible saying how they are two of the "good' people in the house, especially as opposed to Dick and Dani, yet they curse and talk about others behind their backs and lately, are willing to shed their clothes and go naked in front of her male houseguests, the entire nation and (Amber) her family and daughter for a few items of clothing. Amber, at the beginning of the competition, even voiced that she did NOT want to do it but did it anyway. All I'm saying is, (like my dad use to say) is that Amber is "talking out of both corners of her mouth", and IMO, you should not do that, especially with religion. It makes her appear very phony, IMHO.

If a single person goes into the john and the camera's aren't on why isn't it used for the jack shack?

I'm just saying that taking your clothes off on TV should not be considered a religious decision. I grew up in a church that taught that masturbation was wrong, but I didn't agree with that, so that must make me a REALLY bad person then. There is nothing wrong with being nude, it is how God made us. The language, etc. and I don't support the God Squad's actions as religious people, but one thing that is truly of God is nudity.

By the way, I thought the competition was in poor taste and I was surprised that they played along with it, any of them.

cousin and Sunshyne: as to the toilet-cam being on only if there are 2 people... didn't it show Dani in after some incident where she was crying and trying to be alone?

of course if there is some huge amount of drama in the Toilet area the cams will be recording. Anyways, I really wish people would realize that Christians are just human beings. For many it is a belief system but doesnt make them nuns or priests in behaviour. However, I was surprised that Jameka did the humping of Eric last night. That really is a huge no no for a christian to be simulating sex acts (but what else could she do? Stand out from the crowd?) anyways, I am offtopic as usual.

quote: (but what else could she do? Stand out from the crowd?)
While I get what you are saying here...my answer to this would be YES! Yes, if she was strong in her belief and wanted others to see her that way-and not like she is putting on an act, then that is exactly what she should have done. She might have gained some respect for the move to stay strong....then again this is BB.....

Lilfair - I think some of the guys have used the bathroom for that purpose in previous seasons and in this one (Eric maybe?) I think Howie did the whole "jack shack" thing for attention. LOL
