Are we surprised? The Smoking Gun dug up the dirt. She fought the law, and the law won.

I'm starting to wonder if a criminal record isn't a 'silent requirement' to be on this show.

This is going to kill all the Amy fans on this board. Perhaps we will get more of the blaming others being mean to Amy to justify her behavior, but I think that is becoming increasingly hard to do.

Duncan: No kidding! Geez.

I was kind of hoping the Smoking Gun people would dig up stuff about all these supposed restraining orders Amy has on people and that people, no doubt, have on her.

(And I'm not being disrespectful toward Amy. Judging from the way she talks, her and her peers seem to resort to restraining orders to add fuel to theri dramas.)

Actually, I'm getting tired of people at the smoking gun and elsewhere delving into every little detail of people's personal lives.

Wonder how many folks here would come up sparkling clean under the same level of scrutiny?

And, yes, I know that the HGs offered themselves up to scrutiny by going into the house. Doesn't make me feel any differently about the amount of dirt digging that goes on. It's one thing to be a "celebrity" and have everyone looking for dirt and be able to speak out in your own defense. It's quite another to have all this going on behind your back when you are unaware and unable to do anything in response.

As I said, I wonder how many folks here have a spotless life record. I certainly don't. Although I've never been arrested, there are things in my past that I'd just as soon no one else ever dug out of the dust bin!

I wouldn't say this is any worse than Chiapet's...but it certainly is equally revolting (and I like Amy).

Why doens't Arnie and BB just hire The Smoking Gun to do their background checks??

Physically she sure is beautiful though ..it is a wonderful picture of her...sort of a Marilyn Monroe pouty look..

Thank you Max, I was thinking the same thing!!

Max..I'd gladly let the Smoking Gun take a stab at my life. I may be no angel but I've never been arrested in my life or had any type of problems like this. And judging from my friends that is not the exception. The worst they would find is some overdue bills in the past. BOY that would make good copy YAWN lol

Naw, Keiffer, I'm still an Amy fan. I did stupid stuff when I was young too. It seems that she's owned up and paid the fines. I also hope she learned something. I didn't bash Chiara when the news came out about her either. It's hard to blast someone else if you've been equally as stupid. I'm not sure that she'll get anything out of the experience if BB lawyers take care of everything for her though. If fact, that is my only beef with the Chiara situation. She's not being forced to face up to her mistakes.

I wonder if the police got called when she whacked her sisters eye with her ring...now that'd be a smoking gun to remember.

lol... I agree for once with LURK!!!

Seems every year people on the net find stuff out about the HG's in like 1-3 weeks that I would hope the producers don't know or else they wouldn't have put them on the show. They have got to be firing the background checkers for this. What we have 4 out of thHG's with court things either in their past or coming up soon in their future? Surely that doesnt help things....

Unless of course the think any press is good press, and might help the ratings.

Keiffer as an "Amy fan" I'm somewhat offended by that comment.

Looks as if these things happened over 3 1/2 years,4 years and 5 years respectively, ago. Not saying that makes a great deal of difference....but a 20 year old and a 23 year old does have a maturity gap.

She does seem to have "gone a little wild" in her youth. I hope she can pull herself together.

I was no angel in my late teens, early 20's. I recall those as my rebellious, oat-sowing years.

actually you agreed with me TWICE today Keiffer...we are on an all time BB agreement roll for us ;) hehe

It could be that CBS's background checkers are very successful! They've got to be LOOKING for HGs with these kinds of records.

Oh my heck I'm so disappointed about Amy's record.

Duncan, I agree with you; it seems that "BB" is trying to ensure ratings by casting HGs with startling secrets--and the secrets easiest to uncover are those that are part of the public record. "BB" doesn't even have to take the blame for the information coming out as long as HGs talk about the skeletons in their closets and as long as criminal records are researched and reported by the media outlets.

Some people seem to thrive on the attention that being on a TV show brings; look at the incredibly painful, personal, humiliating stories that people tell of their relationships on daytime talk shows. Perhaps people with sensational pasts will refrain from applying for the show in the future. However, the lure of the money seems to be terribly difficult to resist.

Duncan

I doubt they are firing anyone, Keiffer. I am quite sure this is EXACTLY the kind of stuff they are looking for in a contestant.

This doesn't surprize at all. She drinks and acts the way she does because she is not truely happy and content with herself or her life. I think she's lonely and deep down inside, she just wants someone to love her and take care of her. She drinks and acts the way she does to escape all her other feelings and troubles. I mean, we all like to have a little drink every once in a while. Whether it be a beer from time to time with friends, or maybe some wine with dinner. But she is constantly searching for alcohol and when she gets her hands on it she drinks every last drop. Now we know, not only does she drink in excess but she is irresponsible as well. She was so srunk that night she is lucky she only crashed her car. She could have hurt or killed herself OR, even worse, hurt or killed an innocent by-stander. So she takes classes and pays her debt. to society and obviously doesn't think she has a problem or understand the cansquences of her drinking. She made a fool of herslef last night and even managed to get Marcellas a little ticked off at her. I personally think she has a self destrutive personality and if she's not carefull she's gonna end up in a world of hurt mentally, emotionally and possibly physically.

Sia, in my mind a "starting secret" is something like a sex change operation. This is just embarassing dirt in someone's past.

I just came back from the SG Web site.

I can't help but laugh over the irony. Here Amy and Chiara think they have nothing in common...

Max: You're right. Many of us have made mistakes and would not like them dug up for public consumption. However, IMO, it is a karam thing. Amy, as entertaining as she is, is a vicious and harshly critical girl. What right does she have to think of herself as being better than others?

If driving drunk isn't a "white trash" thing (one of Amy's favorite insults) I don't know what is.

As far as I know, Amy never speaks of her mistakes. But she has no problem dissecting those of fellow hgs.

GRRRRRR "startLing secret" sorry for the typo

Could there be a conspiracy going here? It seems like the stories have been timed to hit the media right before eviction of a HG who has fulfilled her ratings-boost for the show; Amy's next for eviction, in all likelihood, so it's time to expose her secrets before she leaves the show--you know, get all the "good" out of the story that "BB" can get. Maybe the HGs will each have an epiphany about his/her behavior and really effect meaningful internal change upon leaving the game.
