I have to agree Saguaro. GE owns NBC.

I think it was Friday they were called into the living room and were told that they needed to stop using the bad language. It was after the veto competition. After the feeds came back they were talking about it. Saying stuff like no more "C" word and reminding each other to stop with the "F" bombs.

Wow, the poster spelled losing "loosing" and lose "loose." Ouch, hard to give any credibility to that article with that in mind...lol.
********************************************

Klaw, I've noticed this is absolutely rampant in the internet world for "lose" losing", and "loses". Now it's bleeding over into society, I've actually seen it in magazine/newspaper articles. I attribute it to spellcheck, which recognizes that "loose" is also a word (descriptive of the morals in this years BB). I wonder how much longer it will be before the "official" spelling changes to reflect society.

P.S Mods, speaking of misspellings... mods can you please correct the misspelling in the title of this thread. Reprimand is spelled incorrectly. In addtion, it should be "AG" and not "GA" (for Alison's correct name/initials). Thanks!!!!

Done! <24>

This is in direct response to the original post of this thread & really an FYI:

CBS is NOT owned by General Electric (GE). NBC is the one that is owned by GE.

I don't mean to discredit your source, BBNine but it sends a red flag off for me.

(PS. I know this information because my husband worked for CBS and has worked for NBC and while at NBC, we got discounts on all GE owned companies such as Sprint, etc. and other small benefits of working for a company that basically owns the world. Just not CBS.)

Key people Leslie Moonves, Chairman of CBS
Launch date September 18, 1927 (radio); 1939 (television)

CBS Broadcasting Inc. (CBS) is one of the largest radio and television networks in the United States. The name is derived from the initials of Columbia Broadcasting System, its former legal name. The network is sometimes referred to as the Tiffany Network, which alludes to the perceived quality of CBS programming during the tenure of its founder William S. Paley.[1] It can also refer to some of CBS's first demonstrations of color television, which were held in a former Tiffany & Co. building in New York City in 1950.[2]

The network has its origins in United Independent Broadcasters Inc., a collection of 16 radio stations that was bought by William S. Paley in 1928 and renamed the Columbia Broadcasting System. Under Paley's guidance, CBS would first become one of the largest radio networks in the United States and then one of the big three American broadcast television networks. In 1974, CBS dropped its full name and became known simply as CBS, Inc. The Westinghouse Electric Corporation acquired the network in 1995 and eventually adopted the name of the company it had bought to become CBS Corporation. In 2000, CBS came under the control of Viacom, which coincidentally had begun as a spin-off of CBS in 1971. In late 2005, Viacom split itself and reestablished CBS Corporation with the CBS television network at its core. CBS Corporation and the new Viacom are controlled by Sumner Redstone through National Amusements, the parent of the two companies.

This is the real article about CBS CBS chief: please kill "American Idol" By James Hibberd and Paul J. Gough
Fri Mar 14, 2:16 AM ET



LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - With CBS close to losing the total viewers race for the first time in five years, CEO Leslie Moonves called Fox's ratings hit "American Idol" a "monster" and urged somebody to "kill that show."

ADVERTISEMENT


"While we're in repeats, 'American Idol' continues to be a monster," Moonves said Thursday at the McGraw-Hill Media Summit in New York City. "It's a phenomenon. If somebody would kill that show, I'd really appreciate it. But it's a national phenomenon, and it continues to do extremely well. It's tough to compete with it."

Fox has won the past three broadcast seasons among the adults 18-49 demographic and is expected to win this season as well. CBS has many crime procedurals popular with older audiences and has won among total viewers the past six seasons.

But after the writers strike gutted networks that rely heavily on scripted programming, Fox's reality-driven slate with such shows as "Idol" and "The Moment of Truth" has outpaced competitors this season by a wider margin than ever. A couple weeks ago, Fox surpassed CBS among total viewers. Fox currently averages about 11.5 million to CBS' 10.6 million, ABC's 9.4 million, NBC's 8.5 million and the CW's 2.6 million.

Even with CBS' scripted programming returning to the air in the coming weeks, Fox's first-place position is expected to hold through the conclusion of the May sweep.

Moonves acknowledged CBS wasn't going to be able to overtake its rival.

"Yeah, we'll finish No. 2," he said.

Allison also told them in the "letter" (actually I think she read the missive to them ..) that they had all made the jury. This was more important info since it tells them/me that no more twists involving evicted HG (besides Sharon, Ryan and James) .

I have been working fulltime right now, so I haven't had NEARLY as much time to follow BB or watch my live feeds....I have been a BIG BB fan since the very first one and had the live feeds every year, even though I VOWED last summer I would NOT get them again because of EDick's VILE (imo) behavior and the FACT that Allison Grodner (who was in charge for the first time) obviously LOVED his crude, rude, abusive language and behavior as making her show "interesting"....

I felt like it was a fact that BB was obviously being tampered with in Dick and Danielle's favor....and it RUINED the whole experience for me. Well...I got the free two week feed this winter, and I just continued to keep it...HOPING that some one I actually could admire would do well....

I have been totally disgusted by James's own admissions about the things he has done in his life, and his disdain at anyone who believes in God, and he and Chelsea's really hateful comments about every HG as if the two of them are so perfect.....I was so disgusted by last Wednesday's RIDICULOUS "twist" and return of James as the "phoenix from the ashes".....(and by the recent commercials...it looks like AG is trying to shove James down our throats)

And LOW and BEHOLD I come across this thread and I find out that SOMEONE OUT THERE is FINALLY making some WAVES that Allison Grodner may HAVE to pay attention to....I wrote SO MANY emails to CBS last year, about stopping Dick's ABUSE of Jen...and to no avail......

I KNEW Dick's "tea dumping" incident would come back to haunt BB...I mean...WATCH THE VIDEO of James...He viciously THREW the pickles and juice at Natalie...even I have to admit that Dick's "tea party" was NOTHING compared to "picklegate"....And it made me SICKER than EDick last year....and James came back as the SELF AGGRANDIZING, SELF-RIGHTEOUS phoenix....OMG! PLEASE......

I totally agree that if AG does not "clean up" her choices for the majority of the HG's on BB, she WILL kill this show that we all have known and loved for so long.

Cay, you and I had many differences of opinions last year on ED's actions. The tea dumping incident is the one time I think most of ED's actions were not very pre-meditated to try and throw ppl off their game right before comps or evictions, I have always said a lot of ED's rants were strategy between he and Dani. However with this group, it is like rampant self indulgence, hatred, mean-spiritedness, at it's worse. The laughing of a parent's suicide, the suggestion of someone to destroy someone's Bible with bodily fluids (the male kind), and the wanting to leave female monthly (tampons) lying around and not even throwing them away, wanting to make an abortion in someone's bed with ketchup is just sick sick twisted behavior that crosses every moral compass and all of this is said while laughing about it.

I totally agree Shop......

I guess I was so shocked at EDick last year...I had NO IDEA they could find WORSE people who didn't care what they did or said in front of America....

I STILL find it amazing though, how much Allison Grodner was GIDDY and made so much of the ice tea incident last year, and SOMEONE isn't even letting her SHOW what James and Josh did to Natalie....And James took a bubble bath NUDE with Chelsea last night and they cut the feed when his butt was in the air with his "jewels" hanging down in back, and when Chelsea was in the HoH bed with James last night she got out to get the remote, and she was topless. Then they cut to another camera soon after....They NEVER show them in the HoH...WHAT's UP WITH THAT????

I sincerely hope that Les Moonves or the "powers that be" at CBS are censoring Allison Grodner and making her feel like the INCOMPETENT "junior" producer that she is.....I mean, she could have left out "picklegate" and not showing how nasty Chelsea and James are together just to give James the best edit possible....what do you all think????

Well, Chelsea's take on it is this.... she said in one comment, that they can show things that go on under the covers, but when you prance around out in the open nude etc etc then they can't show that and have to edit it out. LOL, if those things repulse you then you missed out on the James/Chelsea/Allison 3-some and the James/Chelsea/Josh thing.... lmao...

Just to clarify something...AG came over the loud speaker to talk to them, but they were also given a "letter" which was a list of words they were asked not to use. Nut sack was one of the words on the list and that just cracks me up for some reason.

Not sure to be honest, seems that there were no live feed reports from either here or Jokers on it as the cameras went out of that room which is why I said the 3-some w/ James/Chelsea/Allison and just the James/Chelsea/Josh "thing"... never knew if they did or did not, just know they asked him if he wanted to "play."

I personally thought that the James/Chelsia/Allison thing was just playing around...I think there might have been some kissing involved but I thought it was more for "shock value" for the other houseguests. There was a lot of giggling involved.
