Same here. When Julie said b******, s****, I could not beleve my ears. Here is this newswoman/reality show host who seems serious and is using language like this. IT WAS HILARIOUS!
*BTW-This software that TV ClubHouse uses is really cool!

clio...LOL..how long did it take you to type that out? :)

I, for one, was thankful during that time that I don't have children so I didn't have to cover their ears!

Kinda reminds you of how the Clinton staff took the "w" key off their keyboards before they left the White House. :)

Too bad the girls didn't get to hear it - might make a difference and they wouldn't be so rob friendly this evening - calling him the man of the house - ewwwwww - the new trash boy is really more like him.

I just rolled when she dropped that one on poor ol' Gee, lol. I would rather she would dump it on Robert to his face, though. That would be a good BB4 moment!:)

After all the complaints Arnie received from posters here that they were portraying Robert as a Saint, they realized that it was time to tell the truth about him. Tonight's show was Robert's bashing for sure, we had a thread "People Robert knows..." and BB read our posts and came up with the montage we saw tonight of how Rob knows everyone in showbusiness.
His hatred for women...or certain women was finally revealed, but all they had to do was to air some of those clips instead of having Julie say those words... go figure..

Robert is HOH - next Wednesday Julie will have a one on one interview with Robert. Do you suppose she will bring this topic up? LOL Just desserts

I’m not sure how you can accuse Robert of using worse language than Erica, Ali and Jun. I was watching the live feeds last night with those three talking among themselves and it was F* this and F* that about every thirty seconds. I know that my family and friends don’t talk that way during regular conversations. And as far as the B* word goes, has everyone forgotten about Ali’s description of Dana as the “psycho b* from he11”. Or is that okay because she is a women.

I’m not saying it’s right to talk that way, but to single Robert out seems a little absurd.

When my 17 year old daughter heard Julie say that last night, she was really surprised. She didn't think language like that could be said on TV. I told her, "you should read the live feed updates, it gets worse!"
That language used in the house could be a segment all its own

I've heard all those words on TV in the last several years, many times. Kinda ironic that we are more civil here at the clubhouse, than they are at 8pm during 'the family hour' on CBS.

Ok, I was on the phone.......what was Jee's reply when Julie asked him about that?

Gina8642

Thursday, September 04, 2003 - 10:54 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Jee covered his face and was clearly embarassed by what Julie said. He said Robert probably had issues with women, but Rob had never done anything against Jee.

The implication in my mind was that this means Jee will still support Rob in a possibly final two, and still wants a friendship with Rob despite Rob's issues. Jee did not say any of this in the second paragraph, it is my opinion only.

I thought that Jee responded extremely well under the circumstances. Although he was caught off-guard, he clearly conveyed his disapproval and embarrassment at Robert’s remarks, but at the same time did not show any hypocrisy by backing away from someone who he had considered a friend and ally in the house. Well done.

I agree with bondmaiden. Good for CBS.

Jee is definitely NOT one of my favorites, but I thought he demonstrated grace under pressure. I agree with you Jimmer-- that was a tough spot. I'm not certain that I would have handled it that well.

I wonder if there was another way Julie could have exposed Robert without sinking to his conversational level. Something akin to the asterisks here!

Obviously Julie does not want a good table when she walks into Rob's restaurant. LOL

It was a little early in the evening to use such language. Julie is such a <M>. Oops! Sorry, guys.

Let's just hope that Julie doesn't get brave when Robert gets evicted and decides to call him a <M>.

I'm not a prude about language, but to hear those words over and over and over again gets very annoying. Seems like these people can't express themselves without the F word. What really irks me more than that is how hateful some of them are towards the others...mostly Rob and Ali. They are so vicious it's scary.. and Ali was scared of Scott!!?!

I was glad Julie put it out there on front street. Thank you Julie. :)

I was so glad to see them finally showing the real Robert. I don't know if Julie should have used those words, but it's time for Robert the P to be shown.

I was in CA last week and found out my sisters and niece love the show. They don't know about this site or live feeds and felt sorry for Jee and Robert. Given my uh, love (NOT) for these two I was flabbergasted and showed a few of Roberts real statements on their computer. I kept trying to tell them these guys aren't what they seem and was telling them what was actually going to happen. They were oh so sure Jack was going to stay. The next night after the show, they said..uh, what you said happened, lol.

If people did complain to Arnie and he listened, good that the real Robert is being shown for those that only watch the TV Show. The saddest thing is, it's too late...Robert might actually win.

What had me laughing is how they just flowed from Julie's mouth!

I, too was surprised that Julie used those words. As a supposedly respected news journalist, I think she did her reputation a disservice, but then hosting a reality show did that for her already, but this was a new low, even for BB. They had already shown segments where he used each of those words and I don't think she needed to repeat them in the "family hour." She just could have said he constantly uses degrading names to refer to the women in the house and been far classier.

Oh well, I have always thought she was out of her element as the host of this show anyway. I will admit that for a 24 year old, Jee did very well in an extremely tough situation.

I am so happy that they finally put a couple nails in Robert's coffin for the TV viewer that does not have access to live feeds or visit message boards about the show.

I wish they named these episodes. This one could easily be called "Loser Robert." or for a longer title "Is he delusional, or just a bold faced liar."

Too bad on the HOH competition. I bet Erika does not watch the Price Is Right.

I got the feeling that julie was reciting those words in a very clinical way, as if she were just discussing and analyzing the sentences. As a journalist, she is required to not shirk from the truth of a story, no matter how it might disgust her.
She sat right there and coldly repeated Robert's foul language as if it were any other quote. I respect her for doing it.

Every time I hear a curse word used on TV properly I cheer. And every year broadcast TV goes a little farther, and that is fine with this viewer.

Of course I'm not saying that these words should be on during the hours that young kids watch, but if you can stay up past 10, then there isn't much you can't hear.

Last year I heard Ted Koppell say to a guest, "Now that's bulls**t, and you know it." That was a great moment. He said what he felt-- certainly well past midnight. And there was no news backlash the next day. Bravo I say. Just a word. Who got hurt? And with that one word, used at that moment, you really knew a lot about what Ted was feeling.

I think, as a society, we Americans are getting WAY too uptight about everything. There is too much PC going on. Over-sensitive!

You watch any cable shows, HBO etc, there is no language management. The bad language does not stick out if it is used properly in context.

If a plane is going down, and the last thing a pilot says is "OH S***" then that is what they should put on the air. It is not profanity. It is the true reaction. It is welcome, at least to me. It is part of life.

Julie said it. I am glad. Who are they fooling anyway with all the bleeps during the show. We know what they are saying. We can read their lips. I wonder if all the language is bleeped out in the DVD version? Can anyone inform on this?

You can say that again Tobor. We are all getting way too polically correct. I'm sick and tired of the pc people dictating every thing we say and do. Good for Ted Kopple and good for Julie Chen.

I agree too Tobor. They're just words, really. They just have to be used properly. You can spice your sentances with profanity and it can make you sound extremely uneducated. If it comes out as in the Ted Kopple example, it emphasizes what you are saying. I'm not sure if that makes sense. I just honestly don't think swearing is a big deal. I try not to do it much, but as with Ted Kopple it slips out sometimes.
