Of course it is a HOAX...my post at 7:59am said if you click the link...the story is very different and not about BB at all. The "insider"....yeah right...how many times people gonna fall for that! LOL..just cause you don't like the last two season HG doesn't mean your dreams are gonna come true.

During the live show, I had to rewind a couple times (DVR) b/c I was certain I heard James use the F bomb. I was glad to see you heard it too, Beek...I wasn't losing my mind after all...LOL. Does anyone know if CBS was fined??? If CBS were to cancel this season, why would they agree to BB10? I don't want to see BB cancelled at all. What I would like, however, is for BB to stay out of it and let the game go as it will. I 100% do not believe James should be in that house. Ryan made an incredible game play...best that I have seen yet this season and it was taken away from him by both BB and the houseguests. The only way I feel the twist would have been fair is if they revealed who America wanted back in and then let them vote. JMO.

Sorry, Boberg...just got on the computer and read the article and responded. I still feel this could be a better show with a diff. producer and that this letter circulating can't be good for her or the show. All many viewers want are decent HG's who play a game, not brutalize people. ROFLMAO @ Goddess.

Cricket, the last I saw, BB/CBS is #2 in ratings next to American Idol. That's why I would be really surprised if it was cancelled. Sponsors pulling out is not good news though.

Thanks, Klaw...#2??? How is that possible? Maybe Wednesday's because they thought James was leaving? There was an addy to find what ratings each show got, but I can't find it.

I found it. Actually, they were 5th Wednesday. I'm not sure if the 5 behind the 1.9 means 5th or a 5 share. Don't know what that means. http://www.realitybbq.com/daily-ratings/ These are all the Nielsen ratings.

I will see if I can find the site I saw that on, Cricket. I know it was doing really bad at first, but it picked up.

Wilson does a Ratings thread in the Outside the House area.

I also think the show requires a different producer to move forward. Allison's vision is, like every says, too Jerry Springer. The concept of this game is enough, strippers, porn stars and conscience-free individuals add zero intrigue. The conscience-free people might add interest in a house populated by regular folk with relatively normal consciences. And a house filled with ONLY conscience-free individuals minus the stripper and porn parts of the equation might be interesting. But I'm in favor of the original concept of the show without the bells and whistles a producer like Allison supposes we need to be amused.

Thank you Beekind and Klaw. I knew it was here somewhere. It looks like RealityBBQ is doing one as well.

I completely agree, Goddess. I don't want it to be cancelled; I just want them to get a new producer who doesn't manipulate the whole game and doesn't choose what she thinks is great when it so isn't.

Well, Klaw, our Wilson has a thread outside the house and his ratings are higher...I think. They are both Neilsen ratings, but he has 5.44 million viewers. I don't know if 1.9/5 relates to that. Does it mean 5 million, which is 1.9 of the share? I guess there are many ways to write the Nielsen ratings.

Gotcha, Cricket...hard to compete with American Idol for sure. I personally cannot get into it this year and like BB better...lol.

Did they send letters to the HG? I see the bit about the interview and Alison G. But cant find anything on the HGs being warned to clean it up. Am I missing something?

Maris...I posted it in IHH. Basically...the HGs received a letter from AG telling them to tone down the language, particularly during Live Shows.

I found an interesting post while looking for where CBS stands in the ratings: Here's what Nielsen had to say about DVR's... The next question is ....Does CBS really use any other viewing information outside of the Nielsen ratings? And if so, for what? Edited 11:11 AM here's at least one thing CBS collects info by way of and uses the info collected from to determine interest and viewership...INNERTUBE Anyone who tells you that the negative is not just as important as the positive has obviously never jump-started their car. That last paragraph says it all. It could be an apt description of BB. Someone should send it to CBS and AG. Do Nielsen/CBS have a way of counting people who DVR the shows? Why Innertube? I've never heard of it.

Interesting, Cricket. I DVR both American Idol and Big Brother (on non-eviction nights), so I can fast forward through commercials...lol.

Innertube is when you watch the show online cricket. I watch most shows this way because of less commercials. It makes sense to count the innertube viewings.

I DVR all the shows, including Showtime, just in case I get interrupted, or called away for some reason. I hope Nielsen allows for that somehow in their ratings. CBS just should have put BB on on nights that Idol was off.

As soon as I read this article and saw CBS/General Electric, I didn't believe the post had any credibility. I read all of the rest of the posts, and saw where someone posted it was bogus.
