In all fairness, I don't think Big Brother is having to work very hard to "make" Amber look like an idiot. She seems to be doing just fine all by herself. In their defense, she is constantly making these remarks, nearly every time she speaks, so it doesn't take magical editing to make her come out this way.

I'm sure there are enough people out there that have enough faith for Amber to triumph in her personal life.

Amber is her own worst enemy. She is going to need help when this is over.

BB can only work with what they have to work with. Amber has given them this fodder herself. What else do you want them to show? Should they really show the meth talks, or the sex talks. Last year they made some other people look pretty bad, too, and the year before, as well. Sorry, but this IS Amber, and what they are showing is who Amber is.

I thought the part about Amber and modelling was unnecessarily cruel but when she was in the DR, all red from crying and started in on the "I love you God" talk, she kind of lost me there. It is one thing to be sitting by yourself and praying (I can see forgetting the cameras after a while, so I believe she is sincere then) but to say all that in the DR, knowing they use clips from the DR all the time, that didn't sit right with me. I feel that prayer is private.

Was the luxury comp a way for the producers to treat themselves to views of naked houseguests (especially Dani & Jess)? Sure, Amber, Jameka, Dick, Zach, and Eric have all been naked on camera, but Daniele and Jess have done a pretty good job of maintaining some privacy.

My favorite part was near the beginning when Amber said in the DR that she prayed to God that if she couldn't win to let Jess win. Then a few scenes later, she rushes over to Jameka and told her that just before the HOH she had prayed to God that she didn't want it as it wouldn't be a good time for her to win and she prayed that Jess would win. Just goes to suggest that Amber's "visions" are nothing more than her wishful thinking, because that was an outright lie. Then she follows it up with kissing her necklace saying, "I love you, God." She seems to be a flakey fake.

As far as the way CBS trashed Amber... They're getting flack with what she said about Jews. They're also getting flack about ED's behavior. ED doesn't give them the same kind of ammo that they can air the way Amber does. They can't air Amber's anti-Semitic comments, and they can't air most of what ED has said and done. They HAVE shown a lot of ED's bad behavior, but Amber just gives them her self delusions of grandeur. So, I don't feel sorry for Amber in any way. The way she went on about how her dog also hates black people, and went along with Dustin's "humor" about his dog, and her anti-Semitic comments do not make her a empathetic person. Jameka makes it worse by suggesting Amber is going to get magazine covers. How many former BB HGs have achieved ANY amount of fame? Even Janelle, hasn't been seen or heard on national tv or anything of substance since last year. That has been somewhat surprising to me. I thought she might get something of substance, but reality stars don't seem to get any further fame other than on different reality shows. Jameka and Amber are made for each other with their cluelessness to the world at large.

Okay, back to the naked comp ... I'm seriously offended. To require a girl barely 21, a college student & 2 women with sincere religious principles -- one of whom has a small daughter -- to be nude in front of camera operators and apruduction crew is just WRONG! There's no reason BB couldn't have given them Speedos or bikinis at least.

Wasn't there a comp years ago when several female HGs refused to compete for moral reasons? If given more time, I wonder if a couple of these -- including the FATHER of one -- would have banded together and stopped the nudity until they could dress in, at the very least, underwear.

Jeesh!

Eric"Compared to an ogre and a 44 year old pervert, I'm the best option left."

As if. I'd stick hot pokers in my eyes, my ears and up my nose first.

Have never been an Amber fan but that was some unnecessarily cruel footage. As some have mentioned, perhaps it's to try to show that the racist and anti-semitic comments have their roots in a lack of social and educational skills, but geez louise, how low can you go?

Oh and may I add Jameka needs to take a flying leap for encouraging this shit.

I think that if the women had really protested BB would have let them keep clothes on. But even Amber, who said something about there was NO WAY she would do it...tore her clothes off so fast that it even surprised her! So it seems to me that it bothers viewers WAY more than it did them...IMO

Geri, there have been a couple of times this season when I thought about writing AS and asking that he please come back because Alison has ruined the show. Not kidding!

ask the jewish people in new york if this makes up for her comments.

Carochar I have to agree with you, I wasnt offended by the comp as much as I was disgusted with it and do not feel it was right. I know the girls didnt have to do it, well I dont know a hundred percent that they didnt have to do it (who knows with BB) I think miss Allison Grodner is a little sick this year.

I was only surprised about the nude comp in that Jameka did not seem to make any protests about it. If she did, they didn't show it. Surprising either way.

Zmom I think she'll face plenty of backlash from those comments regardless. Frankly I don't think she has the mental acuity to appreciate how hateful those things are that she threw out there so cavalierly.

Unfortunately BB is supposed to be a reflection of all parts of society and they have proven once again that anything goes no matter what the cost.

Well, if nudity is what BB requires, they wouldn't want to affect the integrity of the show or not cooperate with the producers, would they? LOL

And some guys on Real World Road Rules Challenge wouldn't even be seen in a speedo for a contest. I'm shocked BB asked them to get naked!

but isn't that why we watch it wink? remember some of us (ME) are sick, twisted and demented and get off on this stuff

i don't feel sorry for her. she speaks very highly of herself and remember, everyone loves her so she should have no problem adjusting outside the house.
there is a parade that God is planning (why he's not around to listen to her now) that will put macy's christmas parade to shame.
