$10 mill on a TV game show is way better than average. I've never watched it, I have a very low max. threshold for game shows. But Dancing With the Stars comes back next month :D . Let's see what knock-out babe that I've never heard of shows up.... :bounce:

The winner of the $318 million Power Ball in Richmond , IN hasn't stepped up yet...

Dancing with Stars? I'm in!


Do you know who they've got yet? I heard there will be a boxer...can't remember anymore.

Just announced this morning on Good Morning America:

This season's 12 contestants are Jane Seymour, super model Albert Reed, Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, actress-model Josie Maran, king of Las Vegas Wayne Newton, entertainer Marie Osmond, boxer Floyd Mayweather, Spice Girl Melanie Brown, racing champ Helio Castroneves, actress Jenni Garth, and actor Cameron Mathison.

Thanks Jojo. Wayne Newton ? Yikes ! Helio Castroneves should be interesting. I don't recognize most of the women except Jane and Jennie.

I question the accuracy of those numbers and how they arrive at them, but then entertainment is the point not statistical accuracy......except to Scrooges like me....


I'll stick to Big Brother 8, at least until Daniele gets booted, hopefully never.

Banjo, I agree with you about part of your statement...I'll stick with
Big Brother through the end of the season. But if I had my way,
everyone
remaining in the house, with the possible exception of
Zach,would be thrown out on their ear having forfeited all financial
remuneration.

I believe that once this cylce of the show ends, the real fun will begin...all of the lawsuits and FCC hearings.

Except for Evil Dick what have they done wrong? They "blur out" his obscenities, nothing unusual about that. Interesting that such a "look on the dark side of everything" person can have such a nice daughter. No surprise that she didn't speak to him for years.

I was glad to see Amber go. Way too whiney.

what have they done wrong?

In my opinion...there's antiSemitism, assault and slander (multiple
times) to name just a couple of problems that I believe the housguests
will have to address. However, I think the big problems are going to be
faced by the producers when they and CBS have to answer to the FCC for
their actions. The easy problem will be the fact that they were
changing the rules in the middle of the competition and favoring
specific houseguests. The big headache will come if they have to answer
for their actions that, at the very least, give the appearance of them
fixing the outcome of the competition(let alone if there is actually
any proof that the fix was actually in.) In my opinion, the fix
has been in since early in the season...the producers knew who
they wanted in the final 3 and they have done many things to protect
their chosen 3.

That's all over my head, but I'll take your word for it. I didn't start watching until they were into day 35 or 40 so maybe I missed something. I thought Dick arguing with Jameka over her religion was low class but I wouldn't call it slander, exactly...

If all you have seen is what is shown on CBS then you haven't been
exposed to any or the real problems (although a small portion of it is
now filtering to the national press.) I'm not comfortable discussing
details here as it doesn't fit with the spirit of this community, but
if you have any interest in knowing some details drop me a PM.
