Big Brother 15...Double Sacrifice

So...The teaser of a big twist that Julie Chen sent out via Twitter on double eviction day amounted to nothing more than an announcement that this season's jury members may not be out of the game just because they're out of the Big Brother house. This will serve to severely limit the scope of Chen's post-eviction interviews with the remaining houseguests, four of them blatant racists. Convenient.

Like Howard Overby, Candice Stewart was never going to win Big Brother. Neither had any game, and the house was stacked against them, Robyn Kass and Allison Grodner having loaded it with bigots. Howard chose to rise above the hate by ignoring it, to no avail; but Candice got down in the gutter with the trash and fought back, only to face the same fate. Candice was evicted last night, sacrificed on the CBS altar of worship to the all mighty ratings.

Judd was the second sacrifice of the night, this time to satisfy the ego and temporarily calm the paranoia of Amanda, the obnoxious, racist harpy that has been inexplicably allowed to run the game. Judd's eviction was arranged by his own alliance, people (Amanda and her pussy whipped pizza boy, McCrae) that he had protected to the detriment of his own game.

Leaving us with nothing but the trash and the idiots that they use to further their games.

Big Brother 15...The High Road

This season of Big Brother will always be remembered for the hate that issued from the mouths of the ignorant and spread to the real world, where it festered, turning people against one another as they debated until they fought over the limitations of freedom of speech, the responsibility that witnesses of offensive behavior may or may not bear, and *shudders* the potential entertainment value of any drama that results from offensive behavior. This season has the dubious distinction of bringing out the worst in many and the best in almost none.

One of the few exceptions is Howard Overby, who chose to rise above the hate, ignoring the racial slurs and walking away from escalating situations even though he had nowhere to go.

Howard, clearly, was not made to play a cutthroat game like Big Brother. He was a truly awful liar and seemed incapable of manipulating others. He refused to participate in drama or allow himself to be provoked. Essentially, he demonstrated none of the qualities necessary for winning a half million dollars this season.

But he did show anyone wanting to learn how to walk the high road how to do it...with dignity.

Big Brother 15...Disclaimer

I have seen it twice. It wasn't any easier to stomach the second time. The atrocities being allowed by CBS in their Big Brother house are that difficult to watch.

Candice Stewart

and

Howard Overby

                                                                

showed us how difficult it was to bear.

Allowing the viewers to see Aaryn, GinaMarie, Kaitlin, and Jeremy for the vicious, racist bullies that they are does not absolve CBS of the responsibility it bears for the role that it has played in perpetuating hate by not penalizing the offenders for their repugnant behavior.

CBS's disclaimer is their denial of that responsibility. And it is an insult to Candice Stewart and Howard Overby.

Big Brother 15...Enough

Once upon a not very long ago time (last week), in a kingdom (the United Kingdom) not too far away (just across "the pond"), a housemate was issued a formal warning by Big Brother for violating His hard and fast rule regarding language that could be considered  offensive by fellow housemates or the viewing public. The housemate had made a derogatory remark to a fellow housemate about "caravan parks" and her affiliation with them in an attempt to elicit irritation from her as part of a secret task to earn a treat for the entire house. The housemate had explained his remark to the offended housemate afterward, apologized, and been forgiven. The offending housemate was penalized anyway.

Zero tolerance.

Inexplicably, the US version of Big Brother is teeming with an inexcusable overabundance of tolerance. The houseguests are allowed to speak and behave in ways that are offensive and abhorrent to civilized society, without penalty or restraint, and the targets of their blatant racism and homophobia have no recourse but to tolerate it or withdraw.

After enduring weeks of racist remarks, Candice dared to confront Aaryn for trashing her bed, and was subjected to racially charged mocking and taunts from her and GinaMarie.

Howard physically removed Candice from the confrontation before it could escalate beyond verbal abuse, and begged her to avoid the racism by giving up her bed. He waited for her to leave the room, and then broke down and cried as he begged God to grant him the strength to endure the hatred being spewed.

Howard and Candice slept on the floor of the Have Not room last night.

I can't be the only one that sees something grievously wrong with that.

My question...Why doesn't CBS?

Big Brother 15...The Bigot Edition

Somebody (Robyn Kass) should lose her job for casting these disgusting people, thus giving them a forum to spew their vile racist, homophobic, and/or misogynistic views. Somebody else (Allison Grodner) should join her in the treacherous land of the unemployed for condoning the intolerance currently running rampant throughout the Big Brother house by allowing it to continue. And the powers that be at CBS should be ashamed of themselves for paying the casting director, the executive producer, and the house guests to perpetuate hate.

America...You have been tasked with awarding a special power to the house guest that you think is the most deserving. You should know what some of the house guests are so you can make an informed choice.

Male Chauvinist Pig. Jeremy routinely refers to women as "bitches", and speaks of them in a degrading manner.

Guilty By Association. Kaitlin hooks up with Male Chauvinist Pig Jeremy, and seems comfortable with racial slurs and derogatory names for homosexuals being used in her presence.

Male Chauvinist Pig and Homophobe. Spencer refers to women as "cunts", Andy as a "fruit", and has called Andy "Kermit the Fag" to his face.

Racist. GinaMarie referred to Candice and Howard as "tokens", commented that Candice is "on the dark side of the house because she is already dark", and offered to "hit Helen in the head to make her eyes straight".

Racist. David blamed "black Candice" for his foul smelling sheets, and is showmancing...

Racist Homophobe. Aaryn told a distraught Helen to "shut up and go make some rice", warned GinaMarie to "be careful what you say in the dark, you might not see the bitch (Candice)", corrected Candice's speech (in a thoroughly snotty and superior manner), and referred to Andy as a "queer".

These people are repugnant. Robyn Kass cast them, and Allison Grodner allows them to run their ignorant, offensive mouths. CBS should not sanitize them or their behavior by heavily editing them.

Everyone should see them for what they really are.
