Big Brother 15...Moment of Reckoning



Aaryn Gries made racist and homophobic comments, too numerous and repugnant to repeat. Aaryn Gries behaved in a disgusting manner toward some of her fellow houseguests, particularly Candice Stewart. Aaryn Gries is an adult, and, as such, she should have expected that one of the many consequences of her actions would be someone confronting her about them.


Aaryn was not ambushed by Julie Chen, nor was she treated unfairly by CBS. Julie Chen was just doing her job for once, and, though CBS did initially scapegoat Aaryn for all the offensive behavior committed this season, the only behavior that Aaryn was confronted with was her own.


Aaryn did not take responsibility for her actions. She attempted to blame her intolerance and disrespect on being from the South, claiming that it caused her to be portrayed as a stereotype and her words to be taken out of context.


Forced to clear up any confusion regarding Aaryn's remarks while in the Big Brother house, Julie quoted some of them verbatim. Aaryn then denied her own words, claiming that she didn't remember saying any of those things.

There is no denying that Aaryn Gries has a long, hard road ahead of her. But it is a road of her own making. Hopefully, she will gain the perspective that Julie spoke of because she is going to need it.

I wish her luck.

  1. typical. nobody is talking about the dope smoking train conductor, but this young woman has been fired from her job, and petitions are being circulated to expel her from college. I think we should all be happy that every word we say is not recorded.
    CBS produced some of the racism to boost ratings of a once popular, but now failing tv show. shame on you CBS!!

    1. CBS loaded that house with offensive people to boost ratings, allowed them to run their disgusting mouths, and posted a disclaimer to absolve itself of any responsibility. I hold CBS just as accountable as I do Aaryn Gries, GinaMarie Zimmerman, Amanda Zuckerman, Jeremy McGuire, Kaitlin Barnaby, David Girton, and Spencer Clawson for the reprehensible behavior exhibited on Big Brother this season. I have had plenty to say about each of the houseguests and their behavior upon their evictions. Spencer will get his turn.
