I'm not surprised the TAR fans when "apeshit pissed off crazy." I have never been a fan of the crossover stuff that CBS keeps pulling, and I didn't watch TAR last season as a result of the BB players on it. There are a lot (and I mean a LOT) of people who regularly apply to be on TAR, and if they have to use attention grabbing, media you-knows as teams on TAR, then TAR has jumped the shark. As someone who legit applied, I was appalled to see them bring in BB players in the past. (Jordan and what's his name, Rachel and what's his name, to name a couple of them.)

I'm probably in the minority here... but I like the cross-overs. I REALLY enjoyed Hayden on Survivor... would LOVE to see him again in fact.
I love to see how players from 1 show do in another... each has its own form of stress and I like to see how they react to the differences in the shows.
I LOVE all the Survivor and BB teams... well except for Rupert and Laura... I know at one point they mentioned Beast Mode and Tai as a team... would rather see them over an aging Rupert. I have to imagine they'll be first outs...

Cass-cat, I'm with you. I like having people I already feel "i know". The learning curve is much faster with people I am familiar with (LoL). I especially like the Big Brother people because they all believe they are competition beasts and given the chance they could "kill it". When they don't t is kind of a wake up call.
That being said, I would not have wanted to see Paul or James H competing on TAR.

Holy crap, people! Julie Chen's husband Les Moonves, is being accused of rampant sexual harrassment. Ronan Farrow report in The New Yorker is coming out later today. OMG!

I don't see how Moonves can survive this (and don't forget he was already on the ropes with the Viacom/CBS issues)- question is does Julie go down with him (or leave in solidarity), and if she does, what happens to the show (which should be OK- it is one of the top summer shows, and makes a lot of money for the network during a normal dead time, not to mention the All Access subscriptions for people watching the feeds- question would be who would become the host)

Am I surprised about Les Moonves?? No, he divorced his wife of many years and married one of the underlings in his company. I always thought it was a conflict of interests that she is still employed by CBS.

Jag, I thought that too. He seems like a predator.
It's just so weird that CBS was so concerned about BB and how it was being received, and how they were not going to have controversy this season.
Oh. Boy.

Holy crap is right Rosem! The Talk has covered every previous (famous person's) sexual harassment allegation in their beginning discussions. Wonder what they will do with this one?!
A long time ago, I saw a YouTube that some paparazzi took of Les Moonves coming out of a restaurant and getting his car from the valet. When the valet guy pulled the car up for Moonves, Moonves opened his wallet and said, oh I only have hundreds, I'll catch you next time. With more money than can be spent in a life time, Les Moonves couldn't make the valet's day and give him one of the hundreds?! He stiffed the guy!

They won't say anything on The Talk today- IIRC, they tape their Friday episodes on Thursdays.
And CBS stock is tanking- it's gone down 6% in the last hour since the story broke (and once the actual story gets put up who knows..)

CBS stock has tumbled 5% after the Moonves’s news. He’ll be out as CEO....the share holders won’t sit back and not have a say plus the Board of Directors.

Oh, damn, I totally forgot about 'The Talk' - I'm not home on weekdays so I don't watch any daytime TV.
Geeze!

I do feel badly for Julie. 
Julie is such a strong bright woman. Their relationship has always seemed kinda creepy to me.

Costacat, you know who else hates "crossovers and retreads?"
Phil.
But to keep this show on the air, they have to do what CBS tells them.

Tmz reports that Ronan Farrow wrote the article and is talking about unwanted advances and kissing 20 years ago
CBS CEO Les Moonves Sexual Misconduct Allegation 'Taken Seriously' Says Network
See if that works.

Here's the Hollywood Reporter article on Moonves:
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/leslie-moonves-accused-sexual-misconduct-ronan-farrow-expose-1130268
"The allegations are said in part to involve instances of unwanted kissing and touching that occurred more than 20 years ago, as well as numerous claims that occurred more recently."

Shari Redstone has issued a denial that she leaked the info to the New Yorker...(remember, she and Moonves are in a big fight over a possible Viacom/CBS merger- she's for it, he's against it)
