Thought I'd pass this along from Ted Casablanca's gossip column. Full text is here:

Any guesses?

Excerpt:

Like the rest of the country, the crew of the ratings-challenged show is so disgusted with the saps inhabiting that house (which resembles a latter-day Romper Room) that "they scream at the monitors in the control room," says a source who has access to the production facilities in Studio City, California.

The frustration my double agent witnessed regarding the show that's all about spying is hardly surprising, since BB drives masochistic viewers to spastic rage in less than 30 minutes. Imagine being a member of the staff, who are required to take their slumber in beds near the control rooms.

More interesting (as usual) is what all us looky-loos aren't privy to. And if the folks who swivel in their cushy New York bored-room seats had any chutzpah, they'd send out a friggin' press release on what I'm about to tell ya.

Little did CBS know that one of their comely choices has a sexual past that very well might surprise his or her sofa-chums. Seems one of these trapped cuties has romantic leanings that are quite the opposite of those declared on prime time.

And not only is the network now aware of this fact, so my insiders tell me, the execs are terrified the sexy poop will get out. What fools. Nothing would help this monotonous mishap more. After all, what is a horny hullaballo, if not increased ratings?

Sounds like someone's secret to me! Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think a big clue is that CBS doesn't want it to get out. Why not, it's not going to change anything. Maybe they're planning to make a big ratings deal out of Britt/Josh reunion Friday?

This sort of puts a new twist on the unlimited beer the guys are getting. Heh-heh.

I think that if the HG wanted the world to know their "secret" they would have told us. Since no one has revealed a big secret, I don't think I should speculate as to who or what. The one thing that really bothered me about Curtis was that he tried to out Josh in the RR without having any evidence. If any of the house guest do have a secret, I say it's none of my business.

That's part of the problem w/ RealityTV programming. We're watching, one character keeps saying "I've got a big secret ..."

The 'TV' aspect of it makes the viewers expect a resolution of some sort to the storyline.

The 'Reality' part reminds us that these are regular, not scripted people, and perhaps their secrets aren't any of the viewer's business.

I have to admit though, that because the show was kind of boring during its run, a secret or two wouldn't hurt -- revealed voluntarily by the HGs, not CBS.

Checking the live feeds on 9/27/00 beginning around 9:45 p.m. may gives us some clues to our speculation.

Maybe CBS doesnt want the public to find out because it is JAIME? Hmmm

Here's what I don't get...why didn't they writer name names? What would be the big deal about spilling the beans? He obviously seems to know.

It's getting late. I meant "this" writer.

Wendy: Casablanca definitely DOES know, but legally he is risking a lawsuit if he outs someone who doesn't wanted to be outed.

If you don't want to reveal a secret but instead want to keep it to yourself, then you wouldn't tell everyone you had one in the first place.

I've read Ted Casablanca's column for years. This is right up his alley. He eludes to things like this all the time (not just being gay, but most anything controversial). He seems to have spies all over LA. From what I remember he's usually right.

Personally, I'm glad he didn't out anyone, because it's not my business.

We've said all along how perceptive Curtis is and how he doesn't miss much. Makes you wonder.

You get more truth from the psychic hot line than from Ted Casablanca.

I read the article, and then read some more after clicking on the arrows at the bottom of the pages, out of sheer mortification! That man makes me cringe! What a self-important shill!

Ricmunoz: "Casablanca definitely DOES know, but legally he is risking a lawsuit if he outs someone who doesn't wanted to be outed."

FALSE. There is no legal basis for such a lawsuit.

It is more likely that what is reported is rumor, with no facts to substantiate claims. Publishing UNTRUE information maliciously or negligently IS actionable.
