Hey everybody,
I was just about to post yesterday when the Jen/Dick/cigerette fiasco thing was being discussed when BAM! the site was gone. So I am just now getting back. First of all I wanted to say that I am so F-R-U-S-T-R-A-T-E-D for Jen, for the way she is being treated, that I
have to stop watching (and reading) because it is putting me in a bad mood!!
I know that Jen's eating was against the rules but when I look at it from her point of view - somone who has had her clothes possibly ruined with mustard and tea poured on her head - I can see how she would feel completely betrayed by BB (the only entity who should be impartial) for telling her it would be ok for her to do something with Dick's cigs then giving them back to him. I mean to me tea on the head = bleach on the cigs, its a wash. It was just as wrong for BB to give Dickhead his cigs back as it is for Jen to eat. There is a reason why everyone jokes about curling up with Ben and Jerry when they are dissapointed because for a lot of women - especially women who have a hard time with expressing themselves - food is comfort and a friend when one is in need.
As for her slapping at the cig - I saw the scene and she reacted - it is easy to judge her when you aren't in her place. He was completely in the wrong (as he is almost every second of the day) and she reacted to a situation. People say they wish she would have some balls and stand up to him - well she did and he actually tried to get physicall with her by burning her.
The other thing I wanted to say is that I found the following information on another site. It makes sense. Now I am just wondering if AP is just a front for BB to do anything they want with the HG. How do I know that the votes were really for Dustin to be evicted. Maybe CBS has someone on a computer voting 27/7 the way they want them to....? I hate to think watching BB is like being duped into thinking pro wrestling is the real thing!
I'd like to say I am done with BB this year (but I will probably still read the updaters 'cause it is so addicting). If I am able to break away then I want to say that it has been a pleasure posting on this site because I have really felt like people respect each other even when differing in opinions. This is a good group of caring people. Bless you.
Here is the info:The OFFICIAL RESPONSE from the FCC is below. They liken Big Brother to professional wrestling and state that the contest is not real and that the outcome is predetermined. If you don't believe me, file your own concern with the FCC. I'm confident you'll receive an identical message.
The response I received:
Thanks for contacting the FCC via the online inquiry form, with your
inquiry (designated IC Number: 07-x1327xxxx), regarding the 'reality'
show 'Big Brother.' We will close your inquiry IC Number:
07-x1327xxxx with this response:
A
"game show" in which selected contestants (vs. members of the
public) participate is governed by Section 509 of Title 47 of the
United States Code (USC), and regulated by the Department of Justice.
However
'Big Brother' does not appear to meet the definition of a
"game show." Rather,
it is a 'for entertainment only' program, somewhat similar to professional wrestling in that it is a
pseudo-contest in which the outcome is fully, or in some measure,
predetermined.
