Another factor to the pics being B&W- USUALLY- the evictions are live- and therefore everyone (On the East Coast at least) find out at the same time- and it takes a little bit to change the pics. This time- the eviction was not live.
I was surprised- but understood.

My question: has there been discussion about Sharon being on the show with her ex. I know she told a few people- but I wonder if it was at all a factor in the eviction- get rid of the "pairs"

Natalie looks so familiar it is just eating away at my brain. Has she been on anything else, or is there an actress she strongly resembles?

Natalie's features look very much like young Barbra Steisand to me

ETA: someone else has mentioned Cheri O'Teri from SNL

I agree with the Cheri O'Teri similarity.

One more question - did Adam say something besides he was promoting hair salons for kids with "special needs"? because Maria got all offended and I can't figure out what he said was so offensive. I have special needs, and I always thought that was an okay way to put it; also disabled is fine. I wouldn't want to be called "special" or handicapped.

Oh, wait, now (I am only just watching the second episode) I see marie talking only with the girls and she said he called them retards, which is highly offensive. But did he really? I didn't hear it and it didn't show up in my CC.

Hey you know who I think Natalie reminds me of? The girl that played Andrea in 90210. And yeah, Cheri O'Teri!

He called them "Retards". Then when she called him on it he got upset and said that he worked with them all damned day and he could call them whatever he wanted to call them. Then he said that he didn't say anything offensive. It didn't show up on CC, but I heard him say it.

He spit it out in a rude way. It wasnt just a word ,,,it used with a sharp vocal tone.

Oh my gosh, now I know who she reminds me of! Natalie looks like Anna Friel, who plays Chuck on Pushing Daisies!

And yes, sorry, it was Sheila I meant.

I was disgusted when I also clearly heard Adam say Retards. It was so uncalled for. I'd be surprised if he's still assigned to that PR project when he gets back to the real world, if he isn't outright fired for it. If it's his own company, you can be sure he's lost the account.

Yes, I agree that was unacceptable. He is my least favourite hamster so far. And he always looks strangely shocked.

I didn't record the episode, but to the best of what I remember, he said..........

"All the retards can come on one day and get their hair cuts."

O.K. His wording is wrong, but he didn't even think he said anything wrong.

I DO think he made the statement wrong. Perhaps a giving person without enough politcal correctness training?

I see many many , so called intelligent, educated people using the wrong words.

Hopefully he can learn from this.

Mummy35332, you are right. Later on in the show he tried to defend hmself by saying well they are retarded. I don't think he understands that this terminology is not acceptable in this day and age.

He said he does PR work for the Young Autism Foundation. Then he said, "I want to have a hair salon for kids with special needs, you know what I'm saying, so the retards can go together and get their hair done."

Yes, "retards" is horrifically offensive. It's also ignorant, since autistic children are not considered mentally retarded, or as is the accepted term today, developmentally delayed. It has nothing to do with political correctness, and everything to do with understanding the disability for which he is supposed to be doing PR work. But hey, he works with them all day, so he can call them what he wants.

This is the same guy who kept calling the older woman "Ma" after she asked him not to do so. Not impressed with him one bit.

My mother had to pull my 8 year old body off of a 12 or 13 neighborhood boy because I was beating him up because he called my brother a "retard" ....and this was back in the '60's ... the word was offensive then .. and it still is offensive now .. and I'm sure that even tho' he SAYS he doesn't think it's offensive .. he probably really knows that it is....

Could we leave this thread as quick Q&A and not have so much discussion? It is too hard to find your answer this way. The discussion needs to be in a specific topic.
