MAris: There will be no winner of this show. There will be someone "awarded" $500,000 by the producers.

Yes, I can see Mr. Cochrane holding up Tonya's bikini top "If it fits you must acquit", CBS lawyers saying "we are f***ed". Then Mr. Scheck will come up and say "Where is it Mr. Mancuso", the CBS lawyers breathe a sigh of relief.

Jury deliberates for one hour and comes back with an acquittal. An interview with the foreman after the verdict indicated the biggest problem Mr. Mancuso had was his laywers insisting on the evidence on the tape. Mr. Forman indicated all they saw was a house with music. The evidence wasnt there.

is BB still listed as a "GAME SHOW" by the FCC or is it listed as a "Reality Show". If it is listed as a game show they could be in trouble?!?!?!

goddesss give it a break. You can go sue anyone you like. Please tell me how jacoby and meyers will do against a hundred billion dollar corporation with millions in legal minds and all the videos at their disposal. They all had an equal chance in that tub. roddy jumped out in minutes like a wuss. Now he is just crying and the roddy fans are wiping his tears patting his back and saying we will sue. What a bunch of sore losers. I didnt see roddy saying anything like this about if Eric came back. roddy is not god and kiki is not royalty.

If anyone at all outside the house told Amy that she needs to work on getting HOH, then how is that any more or less unfair than a banner flying over the compound telling her the same thing? (which is something a lot of posters would like to see)

Just sayin'....

The CBS BB web site calls the HGs "Contestants" They ask "Which HouseGuest will win the half million dollars?"

Sounds like a game show to me.

I'd like to see Roddy and Kiki on The Mole or Amazing Race.. they'd be whining "unfair" constantly. Waaaaah!

Goddess- well said-if Amy is being put in an advatageous position by BB- then it's not a fair contest any longer. Yes, BB can manipulate them- thats part of the game. I myself am not happy with the thought that it could go farther than that to the point where BB decides who wins. (And I say that as someone who thinks Roddy ought to go asap!)
On that point, something tells me he's not so upset with CBS now that he snowed Miss Amy into keeping him. He's been downright giddy today.

telling anyone they have to try and win hoh is really earth shattering. Like one survivor if the guys said you need to try and win immunity. The girl was kicked out 7-0. Does it take a brain surgeon to know she has to do her best to win. She also probably knew there would be some resentment for whomever came back. That said all roddy or anyone else had to do was sit on their butt. Roddy threw the game in a minute. thats his fault not the producers. Is anyone other than roddy or kiki whining? Didnt roddy and kiki both run to amy to tell her how glad they were that she was back? Nuf said

The lines get really blurred. In reality there is no "black and white"... there are all shades of grey. It IS a game and a "real" Big Brother certainly wouldn't have to worry about making "good tv" or their ratings or potential law suites.

I concede, it is impossible to completely keep the concept of Big Brother, with all that it implies, in a context of a game which demands fairnes and solid rules; Where there is a paying audience (purchasing live feeds or accepting commercial involvement) that must be pleased.

I think that the Big Brother question should incite reactions like Goddess has. Scream unfair... question the rules... Keep "our" authority over "the" (so-called) authorities.

Where do you draw the line? My point in posting to this thread was just to point out that (IMO) the true idea of Big Brother would not require "fairnesss". Big Brother is not there to serve, but to control. But, this Big Brother must serve (it's audience) too.

You can't please all of the people all of the time...

Sanfran, that's a good point. It's much better this year without the banners.
There however is a big difference between something that is beyond BB's control, and planned specifically for ratings (ie Amy returning).

The argument of fairness really doesn't have anything to do with Roddy and Chira's whining. If BB is "fixing" which contestant enters the game, does not properly sequester them, it affects all the HGs, not just Roddy/Chiara. As I mentioned a few times on this board, for all we know, Amy might know about Dani and Jason alliance - would this be fair to them?

Banner information is like hearing a TV investigating reporter talk about what appears to be happening inside a public company. It may or may not be true. Everyone has an equal chance of viewing the information.

The producers telling the HGs what they need to do is like "insider trading" in a public company. The insider knows what is true and is using information not available to everyone.

would Amy have been able to win hoh anyway? Would anything they said or didnt say have anything to do with roddy wussing out in a minute? This is beyond spoiled sore losers. These crybabys make me sick. If danielle lisa or marcy won they said they were going to put roddy and kiki up also. gerry would have put roddy up also. For all the grief about campaigning roddy gave josh its unbelievably hypocritical to watch his act. Let them sue and let cbs and viacom black ball him forever as a screenwriter. Now they are acting like pure trash. If I dont get my way I'm taking my ball and leaving. If josh is seeing this now he can laugh at the self righteous couple

Somehow, I don't see the BB producers informing Amy of Dani and Jason's alliance. Remember, she's the girl that everyone thinks drinks and talks too much....SHE's the one they would entrust with such a serious secret? I don't think so.

Besides, if they were simply selecting the returning ex HG, they would have surely picked Eric, the firefighter muscle stud that talks in his sleep and has fallen madly in love with the girl that is now anti-Roddy, his best friend in the house. Now THAT's entertainment!

This may have already been stated but I guarantee Roddy and Chiara would not be so mad if it had been Eric or Tonya that came back in and won HOH.

I think I am going to give up on this thread. Roddy and Chiara are not happy about the turn of events. Of course Roddy and Chiara would not be b!tching if Eric or Tonya came back. But what this thread had degenerated into is b!tching about them b!tching about it.

If Eric or Tonya had come back, no doubt we would see Dani and Marc b!tching about how unfair it is. And no doubt everyone here would be b!tching about Roddy and Chiara being happy.

This board really has become the anti-Roddy and Chiara board. The amount of hate for these two is really unparalled.

SanFran, Picture this..Amy in Mexico and someone saying "watch out for J/D alliance" instead of "watch out for Gerry". This IS a possibility because she was not properly sequestered. And even her phone call with her mother sounds fishy to me - why on earth would her mom say that knowing that D/J are alligned and Amy stands no chance. On the other hand, I may be losing my mind here waiting for the nominations which are taking WAY too long!!

Goddess, Oh I get it. Its like having a brother who is governor count the votes of your election. Is that what you are talking about? The way I look at it if the Supreme Court said you can appoint a President I am sure they will say you can appoint a Big Brother winner.

Maris - Strawman argument/point ;)

LOL @ Maris.

Shows in the grand scheme of things how insignificant this is. lol

Question - Has Roddy complained to anyone but Chiara about the Amy/HOH thing? Maybe he is just trying to keep chi firmly in his court. (Bonding over a common wrong?)

Maris, did you learn to put out "strawman" arguments from Roddy? :-)
