Big Brother Pride

Okay if you "know" me offline & are a Facebook friend or "know" or "don't know" offline & follow me on Twitter, you know I am a fan of the show Big Brother. I think is the Ultimate mind screw of a game. I didn't start watching until Season 6. My mother watched it so I decided to join her and I like it. I haven't missed a year since. This year I have to say I am very proud of the show this season.

First, I am proud that they finally put an OutSpoken_Diva approved Eye Candy. His name is Howard. I have not had an Eye Candy in the house since Marvin of Season 5. He is very handsome, has a nice smile and has great muscles. Oh and he has a well worned Bible. Since Season 5 until now Season 15, I've just had watch the game for the game. So this season Big Brother did well. Howard is playing a good game so far. He's floating but some of the houseguests this season are so thick headed, it easy for him to float. According to the spoilers, I think he will strike soon.

Okay that is the fun reason to be proud of Big Brother. My second reason is not so jovial. Big Brother is not absent of controversy. I know the reason why the cooking utensils are hard plastic is because a houseguest in season 2 tried to attack another with a kitchen knife. This season racism and homophobia is some what rampant. It's just the beginning weeks of the game. They just eliminated the first houseguest out the house Wednesday. Two house guests have been heard making fun of a Chinese-American houseguest and a Black Houseguest looks. They've said that the two Black houseguest will stick together. One said to the other that the Chinese-American houseguest should "shut and go make a bowl of rice". The other one asked her racist buddy did she want a manicure in a stereotypical Asian accent.  One of the racist has also made homophobic remarks referring the only known gay houseguest. She called him a "queer". Another guy made gay slurs around the gay houseguest, while joking with him. So I think that will not be deemed as homophobic to some. The Online media has had a field day writing articles about what is heard on the feeds. The two houseguest that made the derogatory comments have been fired from their jobs. The house guest who made homophobic remarks to the gay houseguest, job has spoken out against what was said but id fire him. A former houseguest, who is also gay, wrote CBS an open letter about his disgust with the comments and not edit said comments out of the show and show America who these people really are. CBS & Big Brother did just that.  They aired the two houseguest lowly saying their horrible remarks. One of the houseguest they don't see hearing them, is the Black houseguest named, Howard. On the taped show we see him in the Diary Room giving his opinion about what he heard. He is upset and had thoughts of acting accordingly but he knew he said he would lay low and let them shoot themselves in the foot. Looks like he's been ready that well worned Bible of his by acting rationally in the game. I have strange feeling if Howard becomes HOH and they are still in the house, he will put them up on the block for just that very reason.

Big Brother knows how to make a Diva happy. I was already upset because Big Brother After Dark was moved from Showtime 2 (a channel I have) to TVGN (a channel I don't have) before the season started. Proper Eye Candy and showing houseguest for who they really are is a good thing. It is one thing to give a statement about not standing by what is said in the house. Embarrassing them around the country is another. Oh well, people are going to learn. It doesn't pay to be hateful.
