Curtis won even with one leg. Times have changed so that now it's o.k. to bash people with disabilities? Nope, Tk27, it's not o.k., IMO, no matter who brings it up.

I thought I read somewhere that Sheila's son has some sort of visual impairment. Did anyone else read that?

I don't think anything can be slander unless it is presented as truth and isn't truth. Josh isn't presenting this as truth, people know it's not true and that he's doing it to upset her. I don't see any case for a legal problem, however offensive it is.

Attack a personality, OK with me. But attacking something that a person is born with, has no control over, crosses the line. That includes sexual orientation, race, mental or physical handicaps and the like. Joshuah has crossed the line.

No doubt this whole mess is BB's fault they should have done something with Dick but not for one second do I let Sheila off the hook for being the one of bringing up her son!!!!!!!!

<76> BB advertising has never been better. They are doing better than ever. Folks would not be watching if this were not so crazy <76> Sorry but lets be honest. How many would be on this site and others if it were not for crazy josh

And also, a parent cannot sign away all of a child's rights, laws have been enacted to protect children. Sheila's son may very well have legal standing to pursue Joshuah if he is slandered on television.

Here's the thing, BB/CBS has already been under scrutiny for Adam's "retard" comment about Autistic children (sponsors pulling out). If Josh is threatening to do the same against Sheilia's son, who allegedly has a disability of some kind, I would hope BB isn't going to take that lightly. I hope Josh gets the boot. As a mother of child with a disability, I feel bad for Sheila. If I were her, I would DOR to protect my child. It's hard enough on children being labeled in school. JMO.

If it is possible that Josh could get in legal problems over talking about Sheila's son, shouldn't BB have let the houseguests know this before the season started? Also, in the interview of Sheila's son, he said that he is managing her 'myspace' and it sounded like there had been plenty of 'haters' leaving messages. ugh. He also said that he does not have the live feeds or showtime.

she told Josh the story about her son so he would feel sorry for her

I've never heard Sheila talk about her son's disabilities...so, if she did, maybe it was back before feeds were up...before she knew that there would be people in the who would choose to use it against her. I did hear James say it was her own fault for putting out there.

I would be. I've been here for years and years, long before anyone ever heard of Josh. I believe that BB lost major sponsors over the r word, but since I can't prove it, then we'll just agree to believe what we believe

Joshua was talking with Sharon and he seems to think his mom and Dad will be proud of him for his Big joshie rampage on the girls..That scares me because i have done many things in my life but not once thought that my parents would be proud of me for doing it..I knew they would love me even though i made big mistakes but never Proud...

I would be here, but for the first time, I didn't watch the BB episode last night. After watching the feeds, I had no desire to watch James and Josh smirking on my television. I'll probably watch tonight, but may skip the "edited" telecasts from now on.

The son didn't do anything to Josh and neither did Nats mother. <76> I don't like Sheila's or Nat's game play, I want to see them outplayed not tortured. Well put!! And yes, it would have been wise for folks not to share such personal info. But heck, so far Josh has managed trash most every female, and if he hasn't had facts he just makes em up. It has been repugnant to me. As Kel just said, I too feel it has crossed a line. At some point BB needs to put it's foot down, and I so hope we are finally at that point. The fact that it seriously has me barely watching speaks volumes. When the addicts are turned off by it, and are really turning off, what is happening to the casual viewers?? Personally I'm sick of all the attacks. How about some good old game play, and strategy and alliances etc. I'm sick of BB interfering (we had James out the dang door damn it). I'm sick of the DR going too far. I'm sick of HG w/no life experiences to talk about, or to have interesting convo's for us to listen to. I'm just tired of Jerry Springer in a house. To me BB was about working with people more than just destroying them. But this year it's all intimidation, hatred and seeing the lowest in people. Not sure who enjoys watching that, but I don't.

If Julie suddenly announced during the live show, just before the votes, that Josh has received a penalty nom and is now on the block for votes too, Who would vote for whom? What do you think? Trying to lighten the subject here, any takers?

<76> and like I said I can't stand <Josh>. But in no way is what Josh doing any worse than what Dick did. Lots of people loved him. If you want to really trace this back to who started this it was Howie on April. I can't really stand either of the 3 that I just mentioned but loads of people love those 3 guys.
