That is odd. Even the listings say she was supposed to be on.

Add that to the fact that we've not seen anything on the jury house, and you've really got to wonder. No conspiracy theory here, it's just very strange...

I watched. No explanation, no mention of Big Brother. I wonder if she fell apart or if Julie refused to interview her... Controversy or scandal? The theories will no doubt start soon!

No she didn't ZM; I mentioned that in one of the threads last night (don't remember which one..lol), but then did see where the listing said the latest castoff from BB would be on, so didn't think too much about it. Now though; who knows what's going on? Maybe we'll find out during HCs; maybe not..lol

I can't help but wonder what's up with that...I did read an article that reporters were not allowed to ask her questions about the jewish comments, but I didn't think that meant Julie. Who knows...

I was going to come on here and ask about this last night after the show. Julie did not say tune into the Early Show tomorrow. I was going to ask you guys if it was because Drew had to calm Amber's crying down, off camera when she was on Power Of 10. I wondered if maybe they did not want to try and deal with that (emotional crying), they thought she most likely would be doing. I thought maybe they planned on waiting to see how Amber felt this morning, before they committed to telling us we would see her on the show.

I don't know, Klaw. It just seems strange that Julie even interviewed Miss Controversy (Jen). She could have asked her about POT..lots of questions that wouldn't have been a "violation" of what could or could not be asked. Wow, HCs is gonna be harder than usual to get in to see the feeds..lol.

I wonder if Julie just flat out refused to interview her?

Zachsmom, that is what I was wondering, too. Or maybe she was so emotionally distraught that they thought it best not to interview her on live tv? Maybe she is with one of the show shrinks. Could be anything.

Zachsmom, that's what I was thinking too because Julie might have heard about the Asian comments and didn't want to talk to her. Gretchen said she and Janie will talk to the evicted HG today, though.

yeah, between the asian and jewish comments, i wouldn't want to interview her. she (julie) did a great job last night on the exit interview. i don't know how she didn't bust a gut when amber said she wanted to be a motivational speaker.

Maybe Amber is too emotionally distraught to be interviewed. That seems the most logical. There is no way that Julie would touch the comments that Amber made, there isn't enough time for that on the segment. Then again, Amber does tend to ramble so maybe they felt between her being so emotional and her inability to be a concise speaker, skip the whole thing and let her sleep in till house calls.

I think it's the crying issue. *And* that fact that America really didn't seem to like her that much - if she was on the Early Show people would probably change the channel and CBS doesn't want to hurt their ratings. I'm not saying this to be mean, it's just my theory on the situation.

Asian and Jewish comments aside Amber would have been off my interview list with that last hand shake. Just as Julie extended her hand for the Thanks Shake, Amber reached up wiping her nose and and tears then reached for Julies hand. You could see the eww factor all over Julies face. She even pulled her hand back enough that it was more of a finger shake.

I think not having her on the early show was a strategic decision by CBS. They know they would have received a lot of criticism if they did not raise the antisemitic and other remarks made by Amber in the house. They already put it out there that the press could not ask those questions and the best thing to do would be to just ship her off to the sequester house and avoid the criticism.

Why is CBS letting her slide by and not forced to face her remarks?

I saw that too Biloxibelle, and thought ewwwww, and you could see it on Julies face. Pamilucy, Geri and Konamouse, that's just what I said right above you, about the emotional aspect. That's what I think kept her off the Early Show. A couple hours ago I was reading on here about how people say they feel ignored, I thought that's strange, I wonder how so. I get it now, I feel ignored ... Does anyone agree with me that not only her track record for going on and on when asked to keep it brief, by Julie, but her Power of 10 appearance, may have been what hindered her from being on the Early Show, as I stated above? I remember her telling someone, I think it was Jameka, that Drew Carey had to give her a talking to and calm her down before they could continue. She said she was scared and nervous and was not sure she could do it, Drew whipped her into shape. That's why I cracked up when he asked her if "being in the house was getting to her" because he could not understand why she was sooo emotional. Maybe producers are thinking, she's that emotional, can barely go on, and it's a happy moment with the possibility of winning $, how's she gonna act when being interviewed about her eviction? Maybe too much of a wild card, and too hard to control there. Also what were the Jewish and Asian comments? Can I read them somewhere. I remember her asking if Julie's husband is Asian, was there more she said about that?

I think it's possible that Amber's "sequester" may include in-patient treatment for counseling at some type of rehab. I wouldn't be surprised if they're worried about her emotional and mental wellbeing at this point, especially since cbs just recently had a suicide from a contestant on Pirate's Master. I may be completely offbase, but I don't think Amber has joined Dustin & Jen at this point. It's more likely than not, that cbs is covering their own butts and wants to ensure Amber's emotional state is stable before releasing her back to reality.

the war on racism would not be won by calling someone like amber out. it would merely flare up a bunch of rhetoric and resolve nothing. meanwhile in private someone may be able to explain to amber why what she said was wrong and perhaps even introduce her to some jewish people. i'm willing to bet she doesnt even know any.
