Shapiro knows he can make viewers love/hate HGs. I hope he remembers how much he can make us love/hate HIM! This editing has gone way over the line of fairness.

Abby,

The HGs (L/D/A) were trashing Tanya and her parenting last night. I was glad to see BB went to FOTH when it got way too personal about her children. So, BB/CBS did make an attempt to spare Tanya's children when Dani/Lisa/Amy were bringing them into the convo in a not so nice way.

What I think is most sick about this conversation is that I am sure that ASP will take it and edit into it clips of Gerry eating and innocently talking to the girls and make him look like even more of a lech and a loser than they already have. It is bad enough that these labrats are as bad as they are, but even worse is how ASP and CBS are endorsing it by their non-intervention and creative editing.

Let's not just blame the HG's...yes they are people I could never imagine being friends with...if those are the GOOD PEOPLE in this world...thank heavens I'm a BAD PEOPLE...BUT CBS has only promoted this stuff with thier TV broadcasts...

First is was his CPsP (a life or death machine for his sleeping disorder)

Second, they (CBS) bashes him on air about his washing habits...we all know (ppl with live feeds) how clean he is and how many showers he takes compared to the other HG's...wish I would have kept count how many times they did things that made me flinch (ei. flick hair while cooking, there showering habits (not that good if your keeping count)...AND my favorite SITTING on the island counter where food is put with thier dirty feet and COOCHIES)

Third, CBS wasn't happy with those Gerry broadcasting bashing items...they have to go after his eating habits...CBS HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED THAT MAN HAS LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT!!!!! Of course he eats a healthy amount of food...He works out more than every HG put togeather...

Wait until these lazy self centered "GOOD PEOPLE" get rid of Gerry and realize how much he really did while they were sleeping the day away...Care of the HT, Pool, washed dishes they left from the night before...took over feeding the lizards...

Gerry we're glad your not one of the "GOOD PEOPLE" get out of that house and be one of the normal "BAD PEOPLE"...you have a loving family, career (you love)...and a base of FANS that comes to your defense when your wrongly accused by not only the HG's but CBS...

Lisa and Amy had better be careful or they might find themselves in court for slander over the sexual harassment accusations

Stingerman -- so are you saying that (a) Gerry shouldn't treat the other people in the house like they are younger (as in calling them kids and them seeing him as trying to be their father) AND AT THE SAME TIME (b) he also shouldn't treat them as equal adults? Doesn't equate.

Everybody in the house has done the same thing(s) to others in the house. But it's only bad when Gerry does it?!

I would be completely embarrassed for this show to be seen in any other country. It makes our country look like immature, petty fools.

Oh yes, Arnie and his editors will use the so-called sexual harassment as a reason why the houseguests voted Gerry out.

They have to show something leading up to the eviction for both Gerry and Amy. I suspect the DR is pushing the harassment conversations so that they have their storyline on Thursday's show.

I've been reading these posts and, I am now more convinced than ever, that Saturday's show was my last. I have never seen such vile, malicious and evil in people on television. And, for CBS to allow this to go on without some sort of intervention is wrong. For the sake of viewers they are degrading a man's life. It is no longer an enjoyable program to watch. I hope that Danielle loses as I believe, in my heart, that she is the core of all the hatred in the house.

Ericka1012 Please keep in mind that CBS only contracts with the production company that makes this show. They are only responsible for putting it on the air and selling some of the advertising time.

The REAL culprits, the ones responsible for the editing, producing, casting, and control of the actual house & houseguests is none other than our sarcasm ON HERO(s) sarcasm OFF Arnold Shapiro & Alison Grodner, the executive producers of the show.

Considering some of Shapiro's other works in programming, I am amazed that he's even associated with this program.

For more details about Arnold & Allison, check their website:
Arnold Shapiro Productions


FWIW

For those of you who, like me, have ended up extremely disappointed in the direction that this Big Brother has taken, with the bashing, the innuendo, the sex talk, the pettiness... Have no fear! In a few short weeks Survivor starts, and then Amazing Race 3.

The great thing about Amazing Race is that there is very little backstabbing and personal bashing. Compared to Big Brother, it's a downright saintly show.

I don't remember the HGs being sooo mean to eachother last year. At least with the 'bashing behind one's back' thing. Can anybody remember if it was this bad??

If you are truly as appalled as I am by what is happening on the show, please email old Arnie and Alison at aspproductions@aol.com and let them know how you feel. They ask for feedback on their website, so why don't we give them some!

For all the complaining and talking about emails to Shapiro, you are complaining to the wrong people. If you are serious about your complaints you should be sending emails to the Sponsors -- Citrona. Just an opinion folks.

Oh I seriously doubt Lisa and Amy will find themselves in slander trouble. Firstly, they are only speaking about their interpretations of incidents. This is how they view the events and in their mind it's true. But more than that, you can be sure that in their contracts each of the houseguests has signed a waiver and agreed not to sue over anything that happened in the house.

Question, where is Gerry during this festival and what is he doing?

Texastillie and others
As long as you watch BB3 (and their ratings are the best ever this year, so they are doing a good job), I don't think Arnold Shapiro needs to care how much any of likes him. Not really relevant.

I don't believe last year was this nasty. I don't recall anyone wishing another houseguest would die, calling someone a pedophile or a pervert, etc. This is the nastiest bunch of the three seasons, and to think, I thought Shannon could not be topped!

Email Shapiro and tell him that you are emailing the sponsors.

Can someone who was watching the Gerry bashing tell me where Jason was during the bashing? Was he listening in on it and not participating or was he in another room?

Julie Chen: "Tonight, on Big Brother 3. Will Amy's second-chance return to the house get her evicted? Or will Gerry's sexual harassment of the women in the house get him evicted? We'll know in just a few minutes."

Jason was outside laying in the sun, the offending housguests were in the chairs by the WC.

Wonder if anyone has a clip of exactly what the HGs think about Cintrona? We could send that to them. :)

Draheid, I understand that CBS only air this program and that Arnold Shapiro & Alison Grodner are the one's responsible for the material seen on the live broadcast...BUT...CBS doesn't have to allow it to continue, I can't believe that the people at CBS don't watched what is being aired on network...They are as responsible as Arnold Shapiro Productions. I'm sure that Arnold Shapiro Productions have put out some wonderful material...but this isn't reality anymore this is the ultimate in discrimination...CBS should be ashamed for allowing the production company to air such things...trust me if this were a ethnic or gay issue the hammer would have come down long ago...

Maris -- you can email Citrona, but as the sponsor, the worst they could do is yank their sponorship, but I'm sure they also have a contract with Arnie and CBS, too, so that would be doubtful for this year's BB. Probably what would end up happening, if they cared at all, would be that they wouldn't sponsor BB in the future. CBS will still air BB3 because of the ratings.

If you all don't like it I have 3 options,
1. Turn off your tv
2. Turn off and cancel your live feeds
3. Don't come to this website and ••••• about it. This is not the complaint department for CBS, Shapiro or the sponsors.

It's a TV show, its BigBrother. Everyone complaining about the conversations and the bashing of the HGS, seem incessantly obsessed with the issue. If you don't like it. Turn off the computer and go count the leaves falling off the trees outside.
Lon Hmph!
