House Calls / Town Hall / Marcellas and Gretchen
SamtheTVwatchingCat replied to bdr's topic in Big Brother 6 Archives
I guess Beau and Marcellas weren't interested in another round of 'I'm the bigger diva' But wasn't there something about all the friendships' families giving Gretchen and Marcellas cold stares at the wrap party? You would think CBS would have some pull in getting them back to do housecalls, but maybe they've decided to boycott or something. Hopefully they think fishbowl.com will be more accepting or something because they've had 'villains' on in the past who have done great interviews. -
THANK YOU Live Feed Up-date Posters
SamtheTVwatchingCat replied to Tillgurl's topic in Big Brother 6 Live Feed Archive
Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Many thank yous to all of you who so generously offered to share your time, talent and humor with those of us who did not have the time, spare funds, or patience (I have attention deficit disorder) to follow all 16 weeks of 24/7 BB game play in real time. You made it possible for people like me to keep up to date with what was happening so that I could actively participate on Morty's wonderful boards. Without your help, my 500 posts of fun would not have been possible. Many thanks once again! Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You -

Ah ha - he responded Marcellas put the show ahead of himself. I think that was very selfless. HI MARCELLAS!!!!! Love Housecalls -
Oh, bummer gimmerighttime. And those are the two positions that you really can't make out. But it does sound like Beau is gone, although yes I too wish it had been awful Ivette over Beau

Wow Yana, you're FAST! I'm still trying to find the photo software on my computer - ha ha

Revenge of the Houseguests / Winston
SamtheTVwatchingCat replied to Cajunboiler's topic in Big Brother 6 Archives
Yes, meathead, overly critical, non-sensical and too into himself - great summary folks He was also criticizing viewers last week for hating him for always fighting with Diane, but loving Kaysar even though he got in that kafuffle with Ivette on fight night. But from this week's post, it sounds like he got a lot of flack for that -
Anybody know where Beau's picture was positioned on the houseguest board? You can kind of make out in the background of the lower left-hand corner which pictures are black and white and which are color - then we would know for sure that he has been evicted (though it looks pretty certain already)

I too was 2cheap2buy the feeds, but thought I could pull a fast one on Real by signing up for the free trial then cancelling. The fast one ended up being pulled on me because the 3 day trial was enough the get me hooked and rationalizing that it was only $24.99 for a couple of months of fun . . . damn those sneaky bastards at Real Player! Anyway . . . even though I've only had the feeds for something like 6 days, the first time I heard James talk to Sarah I was SHOCKED. Everybody's talked about how he doesn't treat her well, and I've been reading the feeds, but you have to hear it to really appreciate how little respect he has for her thoughts and opinions. CBS hasn't shown any of that sort of talk at all - I mean, they've showed him saying some things, but those could have been game-related. When you hear the way he talks to her on the feeds, there's no excuse. Her parents seemed really great in that segment they showed a couple of weeks ago - I do believe they're doing what's best for Sara by not just telling her what she is hoping to hear. -
Ha ha - that's funny Except this time we get to vote as many times as we want, and Kaysar fans are totally psyched about getting in their vote. (Plus Kaysar is almost 3x as popular as Crappy in the latest CBS poll)

I know! I think Ivette's got some issues when it comes to men (of course that's just the least of her issues it would appear )

How do we complain to CBS?
SamtheTVwatchingCat replied to CanadianPrincess's topic in Big Brother 6 Archives
(This is off-topic, sorry) I guess it's true that our strongest points can also be our not-so great points at the same time. I'm usually very emathetic (empathetic enough that most of the time I can appreciate somebody's passionate nature) - I can also be extremely sensitive (sensitive in a bad way - sensitive enough to blurt out a comment to somebody about them being arrogant). Guess these boards can bring out both the best and worst of us all - but isn't that what makes them so much fun -

Yeah, you're probably right - aren't ratings actually up this year? I think it's because of Eric! I will say this about him - he was certainly never boring -

Hi everybody: I may be wrong about this (but I don't think so - ha ha - nobody every really means it when they say that do they?). Anyway . . . First Amendment does protect freedom of speech REALLY broadly - meaning it isn't even illegal to stick a burning cross in a black person's yard (can you believe that? The US Supreme Court said so). In fact ALL hate speech is protected under the 1st A unless there is something like an imminent threat of harm (ie the hate speech has to be said directly in the person's face - governments are allowed to make this kind of behavior a crime). That being said, I think the First Amendment only applies to government agencies, like the FCC. Since CBS is a private corporation, they are not legally obligated to protect anyone's freedom of speech - ie they are not legally required to provide Ivette with a platform the way a city must if Ivette wants to hold a parade with placards expressing her views. I believe the only way the 1A applies to 'free' cable networks is indirectly through FCC regulation. This part I'm really not sure on, but I think the FCC largely tells CBS what they cannot show in order to protect children, not what the have to show in order to be fair, democratic, etc. The thrust of this is that your complaints, both for and against letting Ivette speak in all her disgustingly intolerant hateful manner, probably matter a lot to a for-profit corporation like CBS because they only exist to appease their consumers. But cancelling the livefeed should be the most impactful way to make a statement against Ivette/censorship because it would be in $. PS This might not be fair, but you could also tell CBS that you also intend to write to the sponsors of the tv portion of BB to let them know that a person who has expressed certain views may be profiting from their sponsorship (or conversely that a person was prevented from fully participating in BB under their sponsorship because of censorship) - I don't necessarily endorse this method of complaint, just pointing out it might be a tactic some of you might believe is appropriate. PPS Hope I'm not breaking up the rhythm of this thread the way I did yesterday with the other thread - sorry about that (it's that darn ADHD) PPS Chryon1 - please accept my apology for indirectly calling you arrogant yesterday - not my best moment -
heh heh - well said

Okay, I just have to point out that 'assume' and 'speculate' are precisely the right words to use to describe your personal opinion of Shockalot, because the thrust of your argument of why he is an 'idiot' and a 'moron' is that he is because you are reasonable and he is not. That's circular logic. Note: I Personally prefer asking people for information before conducting research into a topic because nobody can possibly know everything there is to know about everything. You can potentially save yourself hours of time by getting an answer to your question from people who have already conducted that research and have synthesized the information into basic issues and conclusions. How is that not reasonable?
