I believe Dana'a sister was shown on the night of her eviction.

When Ali was up for eviction, they only showed her boyfried (Donny) if I remember correctly. They (BB) were at her parents house taping, but chose not to air it. Perhaps the same thing happened with Justin, could be due to time restraints, etc.

Gidget, I thought he has graduated from college. He may be taking a job as a headhunter after the summer is over and he is off BB. If so, I don't feel there's anything wrong with it. Curtis was described as a lawyer, when he had simply just graduated from law school and hadn't even taken the bar exam or started his job yet.

It was Dana's cousin who was shown and I found her to be just as annoying as Dana. She has a mouth that just won't stop moving. Blabbing on and on about how everyone was so awful... I guess it runs in the family.

Ali has never been up for eviction on eviction night - she was removed by the veto prior to eviction night so we didn't get the family segments. However, they did do a "how are they coping with having exes in the house" segment, and that's when Donny was shown.

"Justin was scheduled to graduate from the University of Pittsburgh in December, but due to "extenuating circumstances," he will return on full scholarship after the series.
Justin was in his fifth year as a communications major, where he received a full scholarship for wrestling, before leaving for BB4."

He has not graduated.

When you graduate from law school, you are a lawyer. Whether or not you are working or licensed is a completely separate matter.

What is a "head hunter"

From the article: "Justin was scheduled to graduate from the University of Pittsburgh in December, but due to "extenuating circumstances," he will return on full scholarship after the series. Justin was in his fifth year as a communications major, where he received a full scholarship for wrestling, before leaving for BB4."

It sounds like he didn't graduate yet. I don't care that they call him a head hunter, but why not just call him a college student, if that's what he is? I never understand why the producers do things like that. Confusing.

LOL, Gidget, we duplicated posts.

A head hunter is a person who finds jobs for other people.

A head hunter is a third party who makes connections between people and job openings for a fee.

Oh, thanks for the clarification re Justin. I'm not sure why they call him a headhunter, then. They obviously had no problems calling Michelle a college student.

I am a lawyer and I would definitely say that simply graduating from law school does not make you a lawyer. It means that you are a law school graduate. Quite a number of people who graduated from law school with me chose not to even practice law - they run non-profit agencies, go into teaching, etc. I don't think you would be considered a lawyer until you have passed a bar exam and/or start work as a lawyer.

Yeah, they've shown someone from everyone else who has been on the block. Why didn't they show anyone for Justin, especially since he got evicted. That is weird.

He must just be a 'head hunter' part time, because his major is in Communications.

I think they didn't call him a student because there were too many students in this cast.

College students: Jee, Michelle, Justin, Alison, and Nathan. Dave, while not a college student, is the same age as a typical college boy.

I don't think there is any great conspiracy as to why Dana's friends (not family) were shown, or why no one was shown for Justin. It's entirely likely that family and/or friends associated with a houseguest would refuse to be interviewed on TV. Not everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame to be associated with a reality TV show. (Really! Can you BELIEVE that? <grin>)

Honestly, I probably would decline to be interviewed if a friend or family member were on BB.

As to why Justin is portrayed as a headhunter, rather than a college student, this is something BB does *all* the time. Alison, too, is a student yet is described as working in retail. I think that BB would better serve the public if they used the slash definitions of so many in Hollywood (actor-slash-model-slash-waiter). So Justin would be student-slash-headhunter and Allison would be student-slash-retail associate and Erika would be Pilates instructor-slash-bartender... you get the point. BB is not the only one who tends to "mislead" the public; Survivor also seems to fudge the careers and/or jobs of their contestants.

Does BB ask the houseguest in their interviews, etc what they prefer their profession to be listed as? Maybe it's a decision made by the HG's?

Costacat - Survivor? "mislead the public"? Oh, yes, as in "used car salesman / porn star" ROFL - almost forgot that one!

Giggles, I would be willing to bet that BB doesn't ask how the houseguest wants to have his or her profession listed. I would also be willing to bet that BB "decides" for the houseguest, based on information provided by same.

Friktion, I was bein' ever so polite, don'tcha know! <snicker>

Maybe CBS totally misunderstood what Justin meant when he said he was a head hunter? ;o

And as for Curtis, I thought they'd (BB) said he was a lawyer going to work in the LA DA's office. Maybe I just assumed he was a lawyer if they didn't say that.

Curtis was an attorney, had worked in NY and had a job lined up in the LA DA's office and AFAIK, that is where he went after BB.

Hmm, found a site with updates on BBI people and it says Curtis is a prosecutor for the US Attorney's office..
