Interviewer was blacklisted by CBS after this honest interview.

WOW, is all I have to say...

Personally, I didnt have a problem with the actual questions but it's definitely biased.

It's the way the interviewer asks the questions, not the content, that got them in trouble.

I thought Ross's interview was really good. I loved that Howie called in. lol Gotta love Big Boy!!

I noticed that Ronnie used Howie's line in this interview. (When Howie phoned in to Ross's show) "I shouldn't have made it my job to lie."
I don't have a problem with the interview - I know CBS likes to shelter the HGs when they first get out of the house but that interview should give Ronnie an idea of what he's going to face on the boards - he should stay away like Amber BB8 did and it will all fade into nothing as it did with her.

This is how I reacted after reading.

The interviewer is a fan asking questions as a fan, an angry fan at that.

Ronnie (attempted) to absolve himself of any guilt.

Same old, same old. Ronnie will continue to try to use persuasive speaking. Problem is, he's the only one who is believing his particular brand of b.s.

My thoughts too.
I didn't think there was anything wrong, he needs to know what he is walking into when he gets out.

He's delusional on things.

do as I say not as I do

Great interview.

That was a great interview and I look forward to hearing more from this blogger in the future. He really knew his stuff.

The only issue that I think might be of concern is perhaps CBS is responsible for "protecting" the mental stability of the house guest when they first leave the house (they meet with a shrink, they are told not to go on the internet) and this interviewer exposed Ronnie to the reality of what is going on before it was supposed to be revealed.

I certainly enjoyed it am not complaining. lol

I found the interview fine, its what all of us (well most of us) feel and I'm glad someone called him out on it. HE needs to know how the internet world feels about him, that way he can continue to spew his lies LOL!

Ronnie's certainly not a fave of mine but CBS really should show the evicted HGs the TV episodes before they let them do interviews. The evictees are at a real disadvantage in not knowing the edit they received. Sure, let Julie and Ross have their interviews, but the interviews with websites, etc should be delayed a day or two.

That being said, I object to Ronnie denying the cyberbullying (that he was so proud of on the show). And the interviewer properly challenged Ronnie with specifics on the Casey stuff, but IMHO he dropped the ball on the Michele stuff. Could he have not prepared a few specific Ronnie quotes about Michele ? Hell, he didn't even challenge Ronnie on his final speech to Michele, as well as the speech that the DR didn't allow him to make.

FYI, the interviewer is a girl, and she said she posted the questions she was going to ask Ronnie on her site a couple of days before the interview. So if the CBS person had been doing their job, they would have monitored the site.

Ronnie, more than many a past hg, knew darn good and well he would be getting the hard hitting questions, and feed watchers see all. He just got the questions a bit earlier than the G-rated interviews usually done after the show.

I thought the interview was great. She asked good questions. I'm glad he was called out.

Awesome interview! I bet this was a real wake-up call for Ronnie. I can't believe he pretended not to know what she was talking about in regards to the cyberbullying. He was JUST talking about it with Lydia(?) the day he was evicted, basically saying that the Ronnie of Wed. night (waking people up, torturing Michele) was nothing compared to what a cruel asshole he used to be in real life. He seemed proud of it at the time. Forget about those live feeds, Ronno?

I remember this interviewer from last season. She did a great no-holds-barred interview with Keesha that some people actually thought was fake because she was so blunt and honest with her. It sucks that she was banned from interviewing for the rest of the season. I admit that she is rather biased, but she asks the tough questions fans want to hear. Most of the other interviews are just a bunch of lame softball questions that don't hold the evictees accountable for anything.

I am in the minority here. I thought that the interview was very unprofessional. I agree with the publicist who said the same questions could have been asked in a different way. The hgs have a hard enough time once they get out of the house...I certainly don't think we have to add insult to injury here. I think Ronnie gets it...America hates him. His best bet is too lay low like Amber did. I had to laugh at her question, Did you know how angry you'd make the fans by turning on Jeff and Jordan?! Ronnie, like all the hgs, wanted to win the money. The house is so dysfunctional, I'm sure they aren't even thinking about the fans, but how to stay alive in the game. I love J/J, but it almost sounds like she thinks Ronnie should have given them the game, because afterall, the fans like them... a lot.

Personally, I like to know what really went on in the HG's heads. I can change my opinion of the the ones I dislike in the game and learn to really enjoy them (as I did James Rhine). I can never, however, change my mind if they are not asked the tough questions and do not face what they did that may have been destructive to another HG's life outside of the house. I do not want to see any repercussions to ANY HGs relating to their jobs or families outside of the house.

I thoroughly enjoyed the interview.

I thought it was a very good interview based on questions fans wanted answers too ( and that he has weasled out of answering in other interviews). I am sorry we will not get to hear the same questions asked of Russell (especially about the Green Room Lie and why he believed it).
As for making fans angry, Ronnie was playing for the fan adoration or hatred and a shot at all stars. He talked about it all the time. He loves theatre and he stove to put on a good show. Being a villain against Americas Favorites gives him a lot of air time.
Anyway, in my opinion, I loved hearing questions I would have asked amswered. I I would ask those questions of all HG's, not just Ronnie. It's down to the most basic of why was it ookay for you but not okay for them ? Insert name.

I thought it was good. What he did to Michele on eviction night was bad on his part. He can dish it out and should be able to take it..tough shit Ronnie.

I loved this interview. I thought the questions were not really biased, but very blunt and pointed. Ronnie definitely is hiding behind the "its only a game" "heat of the moment" excuses, yet it seems all the HGs are not allowed their "moments".... unless your name is Chima, Jess or Nat of course.

I loved it too, probably because I dislike Ronnie so much. I might have felt differently if it was someone I liked, but since it was Ronnie, it was a great interview

I think the reason there is such continued disdain for Ronnie now that his game is over is his continued bs. If he'd come out of the house and said "I thought I was the smartest person in the house and I wouldn't get caught by all my lies but obviously I was wrong. I was outplayed. Good for them." the Ronnie negativity would die down completely. He keeps heaping unwarranted criticism on Michele and Russell (they're not my favourites, but they are there to play their game, not his) for lying and backstabbing without acknowledging that he was doing just that himself - since day one in the house.
I enjoy it when interviewers bring counterpoints to the table when any HG has a convenient memory lapse re their own behaviour.

To quote Ronnie from just a couple of days ago,
"You reap what you sow"

It's all yours pal.

THE DEFINITIONS:
1. Everything that you do has repercussions. It comes back to you one way or another.
2. You cannot escape the consequences of your actions. What you do comes back to you.
3. You will see the long-term effects of your actions.

The fan who interviewed Ron said 'people on her website had questions. Is it possible that she read them exactly as they were worded by the other fans?

I have purposefully chosen to stay out of the ronnie drama as I believe he's the true definition of a phony and my comments of him would be deleted anyway LOL. With that said, I am really sad to hear of the black listing of the MediaFiends interviewer. IMO, if Ronnie hadn't have given her the "material" to ask about, she wouldn't have asked those questions in the first place. To say that the questions weren't fair, or were inappropriate is insinuating that his actions in the house should go unnoticed.

Cyberbullying is wrong on every level and if he's going to brag about it, he needs to be called on it. It went into the house telling us we're going to be saying "Dr Will who?" when the season is over. Therefore, that tells me, he went in with the intentions of playing evil. If you're going to play that role, you need to step up to the plate when you're called out on it. IMO, he's a coward b/c he denied everything. To be such a "fan" of the show - he should know the one element that allows the fans to accept one's gameplay...."know your role". Once again, IMO - his game play was weak to quite weak and the fact that he's getting a pass on his behavior with publicists covering up his gameplay or reaction to it, is pathetic!

Jumping off my soapbox.....continue on!

Again, my comments were with the wording of the questions. I have no problems with the questions asked.

An interviewer should be unbiased. This interviewer was not.

For example:

Quote:

You think you were so smart but were outplayed by most of the them & didn't even make the jury

That statement seems pretty clear to me. I definitely know where the interviewer stands on their opinion of Ronnie.

I'm sure its difficult for a BB fan to be unbiased when interviewing a houseguest. However, they should really keep their opinions out of the interview and save them for one of the numerous BB boards.

Yes, Ronnie does think he's smart and yes, he was voted out before jury.

Being outplayed is an opinion. For instance, I dont think Janelle was outplayed by Erica in Allstars. She wasn't taken to the final 2 because she was the stronger player and Boogie, as HOH, chose Erica, someone he could beat in final 2. But this again, is my opinion.

Heres another example:

Quote:

So why were you guys all playing a game just to help Jessie? It's all what it appears here that you guys all did his bidding & at his beck & call & do what he wants, put out who he wants. I am not understanding why you guys would, somebody who has already had their shot, shouldn't even be there, he already had his chance to win & lost. So why were you guys al protecting him & trying to make sure he gets to the end?

Lots of opinions in that question. Its obvious from that statement, the interviewer is NOT happy Jessie is back in the house.

There are plenty of ways to ask questions without giving your own opinion. For example, rather than say "Well you say you wouldn't do that on the outside world but it's been said you've been fond of being a cyberbully & posing as a girl & just doing stuff to mess with people online so isn't that in the outside world", why not just tell him she saw the video where he was bragging about portraying himself as a woman to get back at a friend? She may have gotten an answer if the question had been worded differently.

I think it's cool your defending your friend and I respect your opinion, so I will jump in for the sake of discussion.

Ronnie being compared to first Will and now Janelle is getting a little weird for me.
Janelle was evicted because she had won 10 competitions and had earned the votes from the jury to win it all. Janelle was nominated several times and won Vetos to play on. Ronnie was nominated once, lost the veto and was booted.
Janelle was a target because she was a great player, Ronnie was a target because he was a pain in the ass to the others.

Ronnie had no problem in the house constantly malighning the other HG's on the WWW or demolishing a woman on live TV.
He can answer a few tough questions. IMO

was

Was

OH lord, you totally misunderstood me. lol

I would NEVER compare ROnnie to Janelle. That was not the intention of my example. I must be the worst writer in history.

This is my last attempt and then I give. I'll just agree to disagree.

What I was saying is someone who gets booted from the house may be a better game player than someone else. Just because they are evicted, doesnt mean their gameplay is necessarily horrible. Ronnie made LOTS of mistakes but its an opinion that he was outplayed by most.

Honestly, I am looking at this from an unbiased point of view. I dont have a favorite houseguest. I was rooting for Ronnie, but that doesnt mean I didnt see his faults or agree with his gameplay.

And for the third time, I have NO PROBLEM with the questions asked. NONE at all. I think he should have been asked those questions.

Maybe I just need to drink the Jordan/Jeff koolaid.

Ronnie will be on Ron's show Monday night. Maybe he can clear up some questions himself. I want someone to ask if he condones Chima planning to pitch a bitch on the live show. Hgs are SO disrespectful to production this year.

I also would like to know when Michelle attacked his family. No one can find it on flashback.

That would be a great question to ask him Flower. You should call in!!

Past my bedtime! But, if anyones else wants to............
