I would like to respond to this, now that I'm not in such a hurry. And again, my apologies for the earlier confusion. For a show like the Real World, we all mostly have the same info to go on, because the behind the scenes info is limited. Even if we get some behind-the-scenes info, we can't really be sure how much of it is accurate (I'm not sure I trust Starcasm to be a fount of accuracy). But, with BB, we have a whole intermediate set of info between the show and Starcasm - which are the live feeds. And these feeds are publicly available (well, they're behind a subscription wall, but still). Which means that there is a lot of publicly available information that is accurate and that doesn't make the live show. Of course, there is hidden information that could provide additional context to what we see on the feeds (because they switch cameras or cut to fish when they don't want us to hear something). So, the info that comes from the live feeds isn't the end-all-be-all of the discussion. But it is a significant part of the discussion of what is happening in the house. Some people choose not to look at the live feed info. So be it. But people who do this are simply operating from a smaller pool of information than people who look at live feed info. For some things, who cares? There's probably viewpoints in this thread about gameplay that are obsolete already because of what's happened on the live feeds so far. All that will be corrected in the next episode (probably). No biggie. But, for something like racial issues, the non-feed watchers should step back and acknowledge that they are operating from incomplete information. And that lack of information is probably not going to be corrected in the live show, because of the way BB tackles racial issues on the show. And particularly since BB has a history of hiding racial issues from the broadcast show, it's quite likely that show-only watchers will have a very inaccurate picture of the racial issues in the house. For example, in BB15, there were multiple people being racist jerks, but we really only got a picture of Aaryn's behavior. There have been other seasons where people have said explicitly racist things (like calling a Latino a "beaner" or making disparaging comments about Jews) and those things didn't make the broadcast show. Given that history, I just think non-feed watchers have an extremely skewed and sanitized version of events when it comes to racial issues in the house.

Yes, my bad. I had you confused with another poster. I'll put a note in that post. ETA: I mistakenly confused 2 posters together. please ignore this.

Why should we cut you slack? You didn't cut any slack to the people who think there is racism going on. Nobody's asking you to call anything racist. But maybe you should consider that the people who are seeing racism might have a whole world of data and experiences that you don't know anything about. This has nothing to do with your previous quote. You stated that people were ignoring someone's behavior who is a minority. If you were referring to Bella, she's not getting a pass anywhere. She's been criticized all over the place. On this board, in the house, on the internet. If you were talking about Bella, then you made a false statement in order to defend your viewpoint on whether there is racism in the house. ETA: I mistakenly confused 2 posters together. Please ignore this.

Is Sleep, Walk, Eat like Eat, Pray, Love? Tonight on Lifetime... Not Without My Tuna: The Jackson Michie Story.

This is such narc behavior. Source: I have a lot of asshole narcs in my life.

Oh, come on. Nobody ignored Bella's behavior. She's been heavily criticized everywhere. It's just that her behavior towards Nicole doesn't appear to be racially motivated, so people aren't accusing her of racism. People have good reasons for calling out racism here this season. And even in your own statement, you acknowledge that you don't have the entire story because you don't watch the feeds. You don't watch the feeds. You seem to be completely unaware of the commentary on Bella's behavior on this board and elsewhere. You are lacking a lot of information here, yet you are giving us a lecture on race relations in the BB house.

I think what was going on is that Kemi is like Ant-Man, and she was making her shaker ridiculously large, so it took up the entire fridge.

My prediction: Snackson becomes a have not, and gets approximately 1,328 penalty votes.

I wonder if feed subscriptions are going to drop off because they keep showing so little?

Yet one more BB twist flops. They might as well not have had Camp Comeback at all. Well, I guess Cliff gets to stay for an extra week.

On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, I don't want to hear about Nick's micro-penis.

"Snackson" is pretty amusing on its own, but via Jokers', we get "Snackson Munchie!"

They made a dessert that looks like the shits???

They'll definitely be ridiculed and humiliated by us? Does that count? Nobody's likely to get a TAR slot out of this, and some of them will probably not get to do B&B. But, other than that, most of these knuckleheads will probably end up on the Challenge and be able to do meet-and-greets and the like.

Don't forget the hot tub folliculitis!

I think that would definitely be an interesting season to watch, but they don't even have to do that. It's pretty easy to suss out who has retrograde views on race or gender. And if they really want to stack the cast with pretty white bros and sorority girls, there are plenty of them who aren't going to run around saying and doing these types of things. Last season had a lot of bros in it who weren't running around behaving this way. And if they want douchebags, they can find douchebags who aren't racist or sexist. My guess is that they keep casting like this because of a combination of systemic racism and sexism in production (and the TV industry in general) and inertia.

I dunno. I could go out in the street tomorrow, behave like an asshole and someone could film me with their phone and put it on YouTube. And then I'd have consequences from that, and it would probably affect my career. We've entered an age where if someone behaves like an asshole in front of other people, they run the risk that a huge population is going to be able to watch their assholery. In some ways that's a good thing, and in some ways it's bad, but it's there. I don't think any HG, particularly the younger ones, really should be surprised that things they say in public could affect their career. And in this case, the HGs have chosen to become reality TV stars, so I don't really have a lot of sympathy. Entertainment people often have their public behavior scrutinized in detail. Live by the reality TV sword...

Jessica is totally that person who leaves reviews on recipe.com like this...

Can we vote the hot tub folliculitis for AFP?

SNACKSON HUNGRY! SNACKSON NEED MEAT NOW! SNACKSON SMASH!

Now I want BB to do the thing where they play recordings of fans yelling at the hamsters all night.

Here's a thought. Would Snackson eat food that had ants in it? Hopefully we'll get the answer soon.

Aw, man, I was hoping if Christie talked about it enough, she would manifest getting herself on the block.

All Axl has to do is become a licensed therapist, and then he can fix Rouss and Pao's marriage. I dunno, does University of Phoenix allow babies to get online degrees?

I agree, with the exception that I would watch a foot race between Pole and Coltee.
