Traveling Welcome Wagon
I have always enjoyed watching Big Brother. Sometimes some of the houseguests go a little overboard morality-wise (my opinion), but people are people and sometimes that happens. Last night though, I think CBS went too far. One of the requirements to participate in the luxury competition was that they had to take all their clothes off. Yep, totally in the buff. If they chose not to participate, the whole team would lose. There were soap bubbles coming down, but they had to move around so much that not much was ever covered. Of course they put the blurry circles over any parts that cannot be shown on network TV, and the males vs. females teams had a barrier between them (they could still see each other when someone would step to the side of the barrier), but there were a lot of camera operators and other people connected with the show around. Now and then a houseguest will streak or something, but that is their choice. I do not believe CBS should have had the right to ask this of them. I'm sure they probably had them sign a waiver before coming on the show, but that isn't the point. This is not a cable network that people have to pay for. I know for a fact that a lot of kids watch Big Brother (that's a whole new discussion! lol). Another thing I noticed was that even though they used the blurry circles, the cameras seemed to focus on the women a lot more than they did on the men. Hmmmmmm. Did anyone else see the show last night? What is your take on this?
