I've tried to watch this cast, but I"m having trouble getting through an entire TV hour. I can't believe they showed the lap-dancing on Sunday night. At 8:00. This kind of stuff should be saved for later, if at all. If I want to see what's been described here, I'll rent a movie, or get Cinemax. I was looking forward to this BB because I'm not working and thought, woohoo, I can spend all day reading lfps and maybe even getting the feeds and I don't have to worry about getting up (eastcoaster, here.) Now I'm just disgusted.

I'm really glad to see this thread and read through the discussion. Ever since the big orgy, i've been trying to decide if I want to have anything more to do with BB. I've been an avid fan since my sister got me hooked on Season 2. I've always followed the feeds and loved every minute of it. But this... this was so far over the top that I've been floored ever since. Sure, people do this. But they don't all do it on national television! I watched the youtubes in horror the same way we drive past an auto accident. What on earth has happened to the innocence of past Big Brothers? This is ALL about making "Good TV". If Good TV means contrived soft porn, then it's about time for me to unplug. And speaking of Julie Chen.. ha.. I was thinking the same thing last night as I saw her brightly advertising the feeds. I wonder how she feels about doing that when she's inviting everyone to burn out their eyeballs. I don't know. For the first time I'm really on the edge of quitting all of it. I suppose I'll wait and see how they handle it on tonight's show. How much editing will they do? And I'm really, really glad we don't have live feeds for Survivor or Amazing Race! Let me keep my innocence, PLEASE!

If that was a big orgy, I guess naked body parts don't need to touch. LOL Seriously, I feel for these kids' parents. I would hate to see my daughter acting like that for all the world to see. Its one thing what you do in private but another when its being recorded and played out for anyone and everyone's amusement. Very sad.

I saw this at Sucks in a thread and thought it was interesting: I know Chelsia's family and it is a known fact around her hometown that her family did indeed try the "Family Emergency" trick to get her out of the house. Her mom works at a school and was informed about the "striptease/orgy " videos floating around the internet and all the negativity with the noose comments that is going around about her daughter. Obviously, the "emergency" thing didn't work so maybe they are cutting the feeds so mom and dad can't see what is going on with their little "angel"!?!?! Just a thought. I have heard people saying they aren't showing C/J in the HOH as much and I was wondering why Chelsia got a good edit last night on the TV show. They didn't show her saying she thought Amanda's fainting was fake..she guaranteed it. What if this is true and the parents had been able to get her out, who would James have brought in, Jen or Parker? Heh, heh..it would have been mighty interesting if he'd brought Jen in. She promised her parents she wouldn't have sex on TV, but I guess they never discussed stripping and getting into orgies, lol. Also, I wonder if they knew what really lurked in their daughters heart and how far she'd go to get what she wants..ie., imitating a noose and a hanging to make Amanda distracted during HOH.

I don't have the feeds this year. Who is doing this stuff and with whom? I didn't think there were any love matches yet.

Cricket, I speculated upthread that there may be lawyers involved. BB would never care about concealing anything from family members or taking their feelings into account- look what they showed in front of Erika's family at the finale of Allstars! J & C making out in the HOH would be pure gold for them, so there has to be something legal involved- maybe James's porn past, I'm guessing. Once the CBS lawyers have determined that they aren't liable for anything, they'll likely show them again. but right now, the feeds definitely go off J & C whenever they're alone.

I really don't think CBS would bow down to some hack lawyer from Nowhere, Iowa. But there is something going on. Immediately following the "pool party" she was called to DR, came out, someone asked what was wrong, and Chelsia said "Nothing, they just asked if everything was okay."

Is there a chance she might not be 21?

EM - I don't know about her, but let me throw this out there. James' Myspace says he's 23. CBS says he's 21. A meaningless age difference legally, but still... And also, Michelle from BB5 wasn't 21, and neither was Danielle from BB8, so that shouldn't matter.

EM, I think her age would matter only if she was drinking and younger than 21 (the legal age in CA). But once she's 18, she can boink whomever she wants here. WRT whether Chelsia's parents intervened... I'm sure CBS is fully protected by the contracts all of the HGs signed. Just because mommy and daddy don't like seeing what their baby girl is doing on TV does not a lawsuit make (er, at least not one that can be easily won). I don't know what her parents would have to threaten the producers with. I'm sure if her parents faked an emergency to get her out of the house, CBS would have better chance at recourse than them.

I don't think J/C not being shown on the feeds has anything to do with a legal issue. Another theory on Sucks, which is reaching, is that something more than just making out is happening in the HoH room and it's too graphic to show on the feeds. If that is the case, then this is unknown territory for BB as most hgs in the past would keep their making out on the down low, mostly underneath the covers with the lights out. If there is more going on other than just making out then I can see BB trying to protect James/Chelsia, especially taking into account the internet videos starring James. The BB producers are many things, but they have been known to protect hgs in the past.

Costa, I just read your post about your campaigning for Black's Beach. I think what you did is such a far cry from what these people are doing and I completely get your point. You don't have any videos of yourself trolloping (is that a word?) around on Black's Beach. You were simply trying to make it clothing optional. You wanted to lay on the beach and not get tan lines. You weren't making a fool of yourself by attacking anything that sucked oxygen. What these people are doing is absolutely sick and they shouldn't be playing it on Prime Time Network TV. It's sad how far this show has fallen.

If you go with Chere's hypothesis, then it's possible J/C are seriously knockin' boots in the HOH room, without hiding underneath the covers. If that's the case, then it would be a bit difficult for BB to actually show that on the feeds (not to mention TV). I mean, you can only blur out so much, yes? <wink wink nudge nudge>

Perhaps so Chere since I don't think James has told Chel that he is a porn star.

Costa and Chere - I buy hiding porn on TV, but not on the feeds. There is a disclaimer before you launch the feeds if your do it properly (without following direct feed links), right? I also don't buy that they are messing around 24/7. They aren't being shown alone at all.

If they showed them knockin' boots (thanks Costa!) without hiding underneath the covers on the feeds it would spread over the internet like wild fire. That may be the reason why BB is protecting them. Earthmother, we don't know what James has told Chelsia about his past. BB blocks everything they do and say in the HoH room.

but isn't that what BB has always wanted? For years they wanted couples having unadulterated sex in the house and now that it's happening...they hide it? It doesn't make sense.

If I were an cheesy entertainment reporter on one of those cheesy entertainment programs on tv, I would have mic in hand and go to some of the houseguests' hometowns/houses and find family and friends to get their reactions to what the person in the house is doing. Even if it's a "no comment". In the past haven't they interviewed someone's parents or siblings or friends by now? Cricket-great catch! Nick-Oh Nick, Nick, Nick...my sides are killing me!

maybe James is under contract with some porn company not to do stuff like that outside of his contract? or maybe the porn company owns the rights to James and his um, talents?

Thanks, Amykat. Chere, the only thing I don't understand about what might be happening in HOH is James said outloud that Chelsia promised her Dad she wouldn't have sex on TV, so James said he couldn't umm, have sex with her. If they are having sex, it would seem BB would be all over it, as many of you say..it's what they've wanted for years. that's why it's odd they aren't showing them together alone in HOH so much anymore. Is BB trying to prevent a lawsuit??

I just find it funny that both James and Chelsia emphasized in their HoH blogs that that they're not having sex. Why even go there if it's not even the case? The whole thing is just weird. Whatever it is BB is making it their job to protect them.

They didn't really hide David and Amanda having sex, they showed enough of that so people knew what was going on, and I think they actually did air that on primetime. I just think they are boring, or they are saving the tape for a show.
