It's a shame really that Amber gives them so much material to work with. It's a show and I don't blame CBS for capitalizing on her visions of grandure.

Amber has a naivete to a certain degree...and she's had a hard life so far. They should be accentuating the positives (beating her meth addiction for one), not treating her like a kook...

Okay, so this season had a couple of weeks which were very interesting. I fear that the remaining episodes are going to be one big snooze-fest.

Sea, that's entirely possible. They do seem to be saying, look how gullible and dumb this girl is, she really didn't mean anything by her words. She's just too obtuse to realize they were inflammatory or derogatory.

My husband thought the editing was mean, but really, "i'm not as small as i look" SHE DOESN'T LOOK SMALL. And, except for one "plus" size model, ANTP are always a size subzero. Amber has no insight into her looks or her personality. Sad.

Vote for Eric to have to kiss ED...will be too funny. This show was pitiful. All the D and D stuff was from last week during Dani's HOH. We know the kiss has already happened, so what a fake AP chore! There was NO Reason to make Amber look so foolish with the Top Model stuff. What is the purpose...to make her look foolish is the only reason I can come up with. This year the standards have definetely been lowered. thanks for letting me rant...all just my opinion of course

I think we might see some fireworks soon actually...Whoever stays from Am/Za are gonna be gunning for everyone else, and Jameka knows she's next on the hit list (since her HOH sitouts are almost done).

But why is it CBS's job to try to show Amber in a positive light. Amber has seen the show's but she has such a high opinion of herself that she unable to really take full responsibility for the situations that she is in. Maybe, just maybe she will see the show and have some serious conversations with some professional people. That's what she needs but she doesn't see it.

Those Amber segments are plain mean. I'm really surprised about how they are making her look horrible. I guess if they can't do it to Dick, they had to pick someone else. Amber is ignorant and naive. I don't think she has a mean spirited bone is her body, and I think she is going to be totally hurt by watching this stuff. There really isn't a need to do that. There is other stuff they could show.

But maybe Amber's "level of ignorance" is what will save her after BB is over. Her family will try & shield her & I have a feeling if an outsider were to say anything negative to her...it would just go over her head. There's also a very good chance that when she does see BB foe herself that she will not see it in a negative light like we do. It could very well be possible...What do you think?

Had BB/CBS made the choice to air Amber's comments about Jews, New Yorkers and Asians, her situation would be far worse. She's fortunate they decided not to perpetuate it.

I feel sorry for Amber after watching BB make fun of her. I am also so over Eric and Jess. What is so great about them? Jess and her fake tan, fake hair and annoying voice. I also fail to see what's so hot about Eric. Wonder what Jess will think when she finds out that Eric did sweet things for her to make money.

Snoops you hit the nail on the head...if her life is as she made it sound, she is the strong one in her family (how scary is that). Tell ya, I got one of those sick, pit of my stomach feels about how she will take this when she gets out. And ITA about her level of ignorance, but I don't doubt it IS ignorance not just hate. Not that it makes it right, but I get a sense of a girl who came from a clearly non-educated, bigoted family and that's what she learned. Kinda sad there wasn't a good Jewish role model in the house so she could have learned how wrong she was, but all she had was Eric lolol. But to totally destroy her on national TV because she was ignorant makes CBS/BB/Alison Grodiner looks MORE ignorant than Amber IMHO because they should know better, where she clearly didn't. Wonder if maybe she did win some money on Power of 10 and they are terrified bout the backlash??? I am not sure what the motivation could be, but I'm back to the 2 wrongs not making a right. And this is just SO wrong. I'm kinda scared that so many are seeing it too...why isn't BB/AG?????

No reason but pure meanness tonight. Amber is very immature in her religious experience, so she will make some childish prayers and remarks. She will grow up if she continues tho with this experience. Her opinion of herself is going to be relative to those she has grown up with, it is over the top, Jameka totally encourages it, but why make such a big deal of it. Last week it was the lack of understanding of vocabulary, this week her looks, what will be next. What is the point of tearing her down on national TV? Pure meanness and an extreme lowering of production talent.

You know what? Amber's life is going to be destroyed after she gets out and sees how Big Brother is portraying her. I think it is just about one of the saddest things I have ever seen and it's even more sickening to sit here and read all the horrid things that are being written about her on this board. I don't think it is funny at all and reminds me of the mob mentality that Big Brother has chosen to show this year. Allow her a little dignity. She will be gone this week and then you wont have to be put out by her. This is a sad day to me.

Somehow, Cathlene, I think he will, too. It probably won't be through her winning the show, though, but getting her the help and couseling she needs when it's over.
