Every year we get information from "The Smoking Gun" on our dear houseguest and their prior offenses. Why none this year. I have heard Robert confess too Jee that his credit and driving record are bad and that he has gotten many tickets. Probably a few DUI's in there. Maybe because none are recent since he has been in recovery for over a year now..Just thought it interesting there has been no news on the current HG from the "Smoking Gun" this year! Did AS put the hurt on somebody there?

"The Smoking Gun" is on to bigger and better things. The site is now affiliated with Court TV.
Somehow, don't think BB can measure up to real life stuff.

Apparently Survivor does, though. There's some pretty good stuff at The Smoking Gun about one of Survivor 7's new cast members. ;)

I don't think that was very nice to just through in "probably DUIs". That is a felony conviction and not on the same level as bad credit (which in and of itself is not a crime) and many tickets. I'm certainly NO fan of Robert. (In fact, I find him reprehensible on so many levels.) But I think its unfair to make the leap from parking tickets to "multiple DUI's". I know MANY recovered alcholics who never had a DUI. Guess they were "smart drunks". I'm sure if Smoking Gun could come up with some mugshots of Robert they would have.

Probably not "fair" Vealprince since I don't know it to be a fact..but I did say probably as you noticed which makes it my opinion.. and I would be willing to bet it is true..This is about the same guy who I heard say on the live feeds how his brother the doctor hooks him up with anything he wants and he gave the specific example of reselling the Viagra for a profit. I really did not mean to make this just about Robert, just used him as an example feeling confident there is stuff to be found and wondering why there has been nothing from "The Smoking Gun"this year.

"...bad credit (which in and of itself is not a crime)"

I just heard that car insurance companies (in NJ, at least) are going to be allowed to use your credit as a basis for your car insurance premium. The premise is people with bad credit have other bad habits as well.

My credit is a tragedy, but I am a truly law abiding, cautious driver!!!

I remember hearing that Ali was about to get her DL back because she had too many speeding tickets.

what i find amazing is that some people still - after hearing about how robert lies about everything - state what he says as "fact".

the man makes up stories about EVERYTHING, who is to say that "his brother, the doctor" does anything? i doubt it highly.

if there were any crimes worth reporting on bb4, smoking gun would have smoked them out by now.
