After Monday's Fox Reality panel on the new show
Househusbands of Hollywood, I decided to ask Jillian Reynolds about her take on the
Erin Andrews peephole fiasco. Her responses surprised me a bit, mainly because she's been in the sports reporting world as much as anyone, but she was still surprised that something like that would ever happen.
"She's gorgeous. People want to look at her. She's hot," says Reynolds. Still, it's no excuse. "This was obviously an inside job; someone knew her schedule. That's kinda creepy. I worked for the NFL for ten years, and I trust everyone there implicitly. And for that trust to be broken is kinda creepy."

I wouldn't say that we here at TV Squad have been purposefully silent about this
Erin Andrews peephole mishegas; there's just been more interesting stuff going on. It seemed like a small, albeit creepy, story on the surface: popular sideline reporter and object of the blogosphere's affection gets shot naked in her hotel room through a peephole.
Without a doubt, it's a depressing story, both for Andrews, whose privacy was violated on many levels, and for the sports blogosphere, who have to endure yet another accusation that their frat boy shenanigans helped foster this kind of behavior. But it was still a small story. That was, of course, until
The New York Post decided to make the oh-so-classy move of publishing stills of the video in print and
on their website.
Now it's getting serious:
ESPN has banned all Post reporters from appearing on any of their shows.

Flipping around last night, I caught the last half-dozen or so rounds of the National Spelling Bee on ABC. It was all there in primetime glitz and glory: bright lights, flashy ESPN graphics that show the participants' best finish in previous bees, the lovely
Erin Andrews prowling the backstage area, and Tom Bergeron making lame quips during the "play by play."
It was quite a slick production. Then I remembered something: They're
kids.
I mean, they're under enough pressure as it is, and it's not always from the competition itself (ever see
Spellbound, the movie that spurred the bee's popularity? Some of those parents were pretty harsh). Why add to the pressure by having them try to spell these difficult words on live primetime television?
