Big Brother 9; "Do CBS Reality Stars Have to Drop Dead to Get Medical Attention?" CRD's BBAD Coverage:

"Resurrected." James says.
Rising up from the dead.
'You said you wanted a miracle to happen." Shelia says to James.
And so it did.
James was evicted. Then he was resurrected when he was voted back in.
Okay, but where were the paramedics?
Don't they have a nurse?
Who was going to resurrect Natalie?
Last night's Big Brother competition for Head of House was a brutally hard physical challenge. Natalie looked like she was going into shock. She was of two people hanging on. It was down to just her and James.
They'd been hanging on for 5 hours. Natalie started shaking. She was probably dehydrated. She was nauseous. She started retching. It looked like her body was going into shock. But no one from Big Brother came out to check her vitals. No one came rushing out to do any kind of medical assessment. No one came even when she collapsed, vomiting on the ground. Only the house guests gathered around.
I don't think CBS people even rushed out when the live feeds went to flames..
What does it take to get medical attention from the, one can only guess, dozens and dozens of Big Brother technicians watching?
Oh, that's right, you have to pass out and have seizures like Big Brother's Amanda did. Even then, it was the houseguests again, who ran to help her, and called for help.
The person who disappointed me the most last night was Mattie.
This girl, Natalie, was literally dying on the vine. She was shaking and numb, and going into shock. But she wouldn't let herself drop without a deal for her Mattie.
Everyone knows he doesn't feel the same about her.
Oh, he wanted her to win. And it definitely would have benefited him. But he really didn't want to feel obligated.
Here's What CBS Is Saying:
CBS has picked up the reality series BIG BROTHER, hosted by Julie Chen, for an eighth installment to be broadcast this summer.
BIG BROTHER premiered in July 2000 and has been a key component of CBS' summer programming ever since.
