why no evicted houseguests on the early show?

[bbaddict]

for the second week in a row, there is no interview with the evicted houseguest(s) from the live thursday night eviction(s). does anyone know why?
also, last year, the evicted houseguests were shown arriving at the jury house. this year, not. anyone know what's going on?

gretchen read a statement from CBS saying that they would not be allowing the media access to the evicted houseguests. they claim that it is to protect the integrity of the game. (they say they're worried that the questions asked by the media would clue the jury in on things that were going on in the house that they were unaware of.)

I think it's because they have been SOOOOO embarassed by the mis-statements of their houseguests. in a post-eviction interview, dustin REALLY created a media firestorm. they did interviews with jen, but didn't with amber (who has been VERY vocally anti-semetic in her statements in the house). many in the media were anxious to get interviews with amber to confront her about her statements.

CBS says that they will make the houseguests available to the media again AFTER the voting is over.

thanks, ann, i really appreciate the update. it seems bb has really crossed a line this year - and not a nice one. kind of sad.

Well BB can't control the mouths of the houseguests. So I understand the whole media-lockout, for now anyway.
