I just taped it, my last day of vacation. It was pretty midl except one thing that WILL NOT COME ACROSS in a transcription so let me try to paraphrase here.

Britt showed up in a fall type outfit. orange and black top (orange was more of a trimm effect) round neck and a skirt in black with same trim very limtied on the trim. Looked kind of knit and looked funky. her hair remained black and was in Britt Pigtails..she had on a necklace same that we have seen before looked like a V of mother of pearly on thin chain. In the intro they showed her standing and she had on black boots with very thick soals and highish heals (funky).

She was a bit mroe subdued than in her AOL Chat but she was cute as usual and well spoken. She was interviewed by Julie Chen at 8:15am EDT (usual time on early show).

First Julie asked Britt the obvious questions...

Q: You were often empotional on the show...for example with Will at the beginning (show clip of Britt lambasting Will about calling ehr black friend a "Token Black Friend"). What about the house made you so emotional.

A:It wasn't the house. That was me. I am very passionate about things. That was me answering Will.

Q: Have you had any offers.

A: My MOM says there are bags of things at home. But here I am getting cards but I give them to others and I havent had a chance to consider them yet. I am usually sourounded by [CBS people whoa re handling me] (Im not sure who she meant I think it was the bracketed folks).

Q: Now that you have had time to look at the tapes do you think you were portrayed the way you are.

A: For the most part. CBS has an obligation to put on an entertaining show so somne things may not get shown that happened. For example, there is no question Curtis and Josh are straight..they are not gay, they are not bi..they are straight.

Q: How did you feel about the george controversy.

A: I guess mostly disappointed. I had this image of George and his family of being a hard working middle american worker with good family values. I was disappointed.

Julie: Well we have Theresa, George's wife here to respond to the controversy.

Britt's expression is non committal but not a bubbly Britt.

Theresa is shown.

Julie: Well Theresa what do you say.

Theresa: It really is unfair what has been said about us. I don't even know that woman why would I target someone. etc etc (sorry I can't remember her exact words but this is the gist of it).

Julie: Even thought he CBS research indicates that the Rockford votes did not determine the vote, we have Britt's MOM here to respond to Theresa.

Britt's MOM: Well maybe CBS is right, but mostly to me it is about playing fairly and ethically. Now are the other families supposed to organize and get a corporate spnosor. Technology Solutions said that it would pay for any votes cast this time and all otehr nominations to get the one person out that posed the biggest threat to George. So are the other families to try and organize and get a sponsor so their family memeber won't be banished or should they sit back and hope the game is played the wa it was originally intended by CBS.

Julie: well Britt's Mom we have to go...

Quick shot to Theresa: This is the part that is most telling about the entire segment and cannot be transcribed...5 seconds in a tight shot to Theresa as Britt's MOm ends and Theresa scrunches up her face and gives a really disgusted look, like Britt';s Mom you are a real jerk and so is your daughter "that woman" who I don't evenknow.

HOpe this gives some idea about the interview. if I get a chance I will try and transcribe it from the tape but I am not a great typist (as you guys can see from my periodic posts.).

Scribe: IMO the looked on Theresa's face was one of utter contempt for CBS, in that they(CBS) didn't give her any time to rebut was Ginny(Brit's Mom) had just said.

That being said I nearly fell out of my chair laughing, seeing Theresa getting her comeuppance was great... Now on to George. :)

This is not made up!!! Somehow our local studio didn't come on when the cut away from the Early Show. You could hear Britt & Julie laughing about the look on Teresa's face, because they ran out of time. Britt said, "I think she has said enough." It was great! & I swear it is true.

BBR- Interesting take. I have since read a couple of other posts in other threads and I think your take is the majority; nevertheless, my take was instant and its just my gut reaction. I thought she was reacting to Mrs. Petros comment about ethics and buying the vote....

I'm glad others were able to get the transcription, but of course that look (with either take) words simply can't do just to.

I too fell off my chair...and thought "I almost missed that".

I hope Book's post is accurate. Its posted also on the General thread.

It is! I even have it taped. Now if I was savy enough to know how to get that on the 'puter we could all enjoy it. I am completely techno challenged. Open for suggestions.

Also, why is it taking my messages sooooo longggggg to post today? 3-5 mins. vs 15-30 sec. in the past.

Correcting earlier post.. transcript is posted on thread Outside the House/Brittany's morning show interview.

About Teresa's reaction.. I went back and looked at it... she very definitely has the reaction AFTER Julie says "Ginny Petros, We're out of time, Teresa, Thank you" THEN the reaction. I took it to be a reaction to not being able to rebut.

Do you suppose her local station allowed her to? Any way of finding that out??

The Teresa face is a classic! >:<

LOL! I watched it on the archive, since my station was one of those that has the telethon every Labor Day.

The face comes as they are going into the commercial, right after Julie says that "we are out of time". Teresa just had a bomb thrown to her, and she couldn't rebut about what Ginny said, so she said what she wanted to say in a face. The face that looks like "F--- You", only cleaner. I think CBS should of given a few more minutes to the interview, long enough for a few rebuttals.
