Have been reading about the outpour of hatred directed towards Shelly on various sites. Some people said vile things about Shelly & her little girl as well. I realize that you put yourself out there when you sign up for one of these shows but it's really unfortunate that some take things way too far. Hate sites have popped up all across the web, publishing her home address, home phone number, telling people to call her work and get her fired and worst of fucking all, a tweet asking people to call CPS on Shelly with vile accusations against Shelly on how she treats Josie. (They do not bear repeating- it's nauseating.) I hope her family is doing ok through this. Its just so unbelievable. All because she voted out Jeff? On a reality game show? If anything, Jeff and Jordan are going to call her up after the show apologizing their asses off that they were indirectly the cause of this because of their psycho fans. They aren't going to feel loved or validated or whatever these weirdos think. Jesus. ETA: I don't think Jordeff need to apologize, or have anything to apologize for, but if I were in their shoes I would absolutely call my castmate and tell them that I am so sorry that the game had such a bad impact and that I in no way have hard feelings or condone anything said on the net by fans. It's absolutely disgusting. Shelly didn't vote Jeff out, Kahlia did. Shelly just forced a tie. I'm curios as to whether Ora not we will see Jeff bullying Shelly the entire day and on his way out the door on Sunday's ep. And the animus towards Shelly is absolutely obscene. Jeff and Jordan have been getting the America's Sweetheart edit, and that has been adding to the furor. No one saw the homophobic stuff with Jeff, or Queen Jordan being an absolute bitch on the feeds. She's all Chrissy Snow on the broadcast, but a lazy foul mouthed twat on the feeds. But that doesn't fit the agenda. And now the producers have further screwed with the game by adding a "twist": Couples are back, to basically guarantee that Jordan, and to a lesser extent, Rachel make it to the finale. It's gross. Since Porsche got HoH, she nominated J/R for eviction. If J/R win veto, that means the Adam/Shelly automatically go up, and Shelly will definitely get the boot I only pray that Shelly/Adam or Kahlia/Porsche will veto.If it isn't completely rigged.  End spoiler. And I cannot believe that I have to defend Shelly. I can't stand her. From screwing the newbies to kiss up to the vets, to all the lying she has done. But I realize it is a game. Some people just have to ruin it for everyone else. |

Does anyone know if Rachel is really pregnant? I don't have the live feeds or showtime, but I get the spoilers on twitter. Has she said it herself that she's pregnant or are the others just speculating since Rachel said she's late? I don't think she's pregnant. But saying she might be will get her more attention. |

I just don't understand how anyone could hate a person they dont even know. Unless she comes to my house kicks my dog and spits in my dinner I just can't bring myself to feel anything but mild annoyance about anyone on tv.
People take this stuff too far.

I didn't see Jeff and Jordan's season, but I've read all about how she's America's Sweetheart and they're the golden couple, but after this season I think he's an egotistical ass and she's kind of an entitled brat. I'm wondering if she's the kind of woman that thinks being dumb makes her more appealing, and I despise that in women.
I've been keeping up on live feed recaps of most days in the house, but not everything. And what I've read (aside from the Dumbledore ridiculousness) seems pretty innocuous overall. Most of what has annoyed me about them has been their Diary Room sessions and interviews on the show, which makes me wonder if they both kind of shot their images in the foot by coming back.

I was thinking the same thing.
Gee, I don't like Shelly, but I was sure glad she turned on Jeff and Jordan.
And
Dangit!
That Pandora box thing sucked. Last time, they had a house guest return, and that was Rachel for a visit.
One time, they had the house on slop, and there were cold showers.
Why make such a drastic change to the game?
Don't answer. I already know they did this to help out the Queen Jordan.

Geez, the amount of behind-the-scenes manipulation on this game show is ridiculous. They barely stay on the safe side of the line to avoid getting into hot water with the FCC.

I finally saw the show on YouTube. What a disappointment and I was looking forward to the show. The manipulation by Alison Grodner was ridiculous. Why do we need to see Dumbo and Bimbo (aka Jordan and Rachel) for another week? The ratings aren't in the tank. Pandora's Box was so unnecessary this time.
As for Shelly, love her or hate her, she made a bold choice, but for goodness sake, death threats? People, it's a game! Maybe Grodner should manipulate it one more time and send Adam out the door instead of her because of this crap!

I can't believe they let Jeff do post-eviction DRs to help explain his totally assy behaviour. He's heartbroken that Shelly betrayed him. What. Ever. Why couldn't Alison Grodner just cut Jeffy and Jordan a cheque for $550K if she loves them so much? Why insert them into the game and then manipulate the hell out of it to help them win? I hope this means that if there's ever another All Stars season, these 2 won't be returning.

A "single player only" All Stars would make so much more sense, because anyone coming into the game with a partner (that everyone accepts will never turn on them) is a huge advantage. For instance, there is no way Boogie would have won his All Star season if it weren't for Dr.Will (who has a much better personality for this game) doing all his dirty work for him. I think Jeff and Jordan thought it would work that way for them too, so Jeff being bounced out of the house came as a shock to their expectations.
I really would have rather seen Britney & Regan back than Rachel & Brendon, if only for the snark value.

How about just all new cast, who play for themselves?
All Stars season should turn its ugly head every five years or so with truly ALL stars, not mixed with newbies.

End spoiler.
