Yeah...hard to respect someone as being a self-starter when their success comes from scamming the Elderly with high interest mortgages, and porn ventures. While it's not my right to judge, I can't bring myself to feel that James deserves credit for being successful on those fronts. And must say I find it hard not to judge on the Elderly scam front. I'm not that good lol

I know nothing aobut what his company did. BUT it shows 'get up and go' to start up a business, regardless. ED, in contrast, had a couple of kids and a broken up marriage then dumped them on his mom so he could continue to Bartend!!! and party. James appears to be much more focused and happy with his life. That was my original concept in my post.

Re: Julie Chen...I know people who read this and other boards and have the feeds and BBAD have different info on the hgs. I wonder though how things look from just a tv perspective. In thinking in my mind of just the tv shows, not all the horrible stuff that is said and done in the house is shown, almost none of it is. However, I think about that horrible stuff because I read here at tvch. I wonder that maybe it doesn't look so bad if one just watches the tv show.... if not, it wouldn't be having a negative impact on Julie's career, I wouldn't think. I have always liked Julie Chen. I would like to see her continue as the host.

Happy...you are very right in that people watching only the show have a very different view of the HGs. For instance, people watching the show have no idea about the pickle incident, no idea about James and Chelsia's sexual romps, no idea about the strip teases, and so on. I think they are trying to edit it in a way so as not to disparage JC too much. Can't say as I blame them as she is the bosses wife. I also would like to see her continue as host.

I like JC. I think she adds a bit of wry humor to the live show.

I've beem watching ONLY the primetime televised shows. And... 1. I don't see Julie cutting interviews short for any reason other than there are other things going on (for example, the HOH comps or the twist). 2. Julie Chen is an adult. If she didn't like what she was doing, she could stop. If she has to buy her way out of her contract, she could stop. 3. There are NO FACTS WHATSOEVER to prove that Dick was a favorite of Grodner last year, and that James is a favorite this year. 4. There are NO FACTS WHATSOEVER to prove that Julie is "annoyed" with the houseguests. The only time she "corrected" anyone was when she asked James to keep it clean. And wasn't that about the same time ALL of the houseguests were asked to keep it clean? The only statement that had any truth that is fact is that SOME sponsors are no longer advertising. And why? Because Adam made a disparaging comment in the first week of the show. Period. While we all agree that this is a place where you can present your opinions, your opinions are not facts just because you want them to be.

Well if you dislike ED then surely you'll think he's miserable and everyone else is just soooo happy and better then ED in their life. Just because someone has a broken marriage doesn't mean they are a bad person. Not all parents are perfect, the point is that he tries to better his life and is there for his kids! James plays the homeless card too much when in REALITY he's not homeless, he has a family and can go home but chooses to ride his bike around the world for some cause he has in his head that obviously is FAKE because he isn't helping anyone <77> So the only wannabe here is JAMES

FWIW, James' calling himself homeless is correct. He is "without a home, without a permanent residence." Which is the definition of the word. Thanks Bee. I knew it was around the time. Still, it was the ONLY time she corrected any of the evicted HGs.

I can't stand Dick OR James. Maybe they could do a show together, on a network that I do NOT subscribe to, so I never have to see them again. As for Julie, I like her, and I do hate to see her being brought down by AG's sleaze-fest. As for why I keep watching the show if I hate it so much, well, to be honest, I'm not really watching it anymore. I see snippets here and there and I get updates here because I like YOU people even if I hate the HG's. Count me as another who wishes they would fix the show rather than me having to completely give up on it.

I don't like AG.I don't like James and I don't like Dick. That being said I don't think that she has rigged the show because she likes one house guest better than the others.If she has rigged the show it is get the most out of one of her pet story lines. She produces this show like it is a soap opera not a reality show that has a prize winner.
