Big brother 15... Official thread.. Watch how fast the brother gets evicted

Some people don’t understand that the term “race card” also refers to the exploitation of racism by racists. A common form of racism, for example, involves painting people of color as overly sensitive or reactionary when they rightfully point out racism. Paradoxically, when people claim that Candice and Howard are “playing the race card,” their critics—both inside and outside of the house—are the ones actually guilty of playing it. My point is illustrated in the following two scenarios:

Scenario 1: A majority of the Big Brother house votes out one of Aaryn’s allies. Aaryn places the blame for this move on a black person (Candice). She flips Candice’s mattress on the floor, taunts her with race-baiting stereotypes, and laughs as her ally GinaMarie repeatedly mentions Candice’s race. When Candice discusses and cries about the sustained abuse she’s suffered in the house, she is NOT “playing the race card.”

Scenario 2: Amanda Zuckermann has called Andy “fakkity Ann,” said Candice’s hair is “greasy and nappy,” characterized Helen (a Korean) as “the fukking Chinaman,” and referred to the “the black guy, the Asian, and the gay guy” as the “three outcasts.” CBS has shockingly made Amanda the primary narrator of Aaryn’s racism. Producers have also featured scenes wherein Amanda directly confronts Aaryn about her racial animus. Now that Aaryn’s in power, Amanda has backpedaled and told Aaryn that she does not think she is racist and claims people like African American contestant Howard use the “race card” to get ahead in the game. If anyone in the house plays a “race card,” or exploits racism, it’s Amanda, who shifts between vocalizing racist speech, deriding other people’s racism, and suggesting racism in the house is not real.

Candice and Howard have displayed enviable comportment in the face of sustained acts of racial antagonism. Claiming that either of them plays a “race card” is in itself racist, especially when one considers how the cast’s two African American contestants have, time and again, refused to directly respond to race-baiting hate speech.

Final rumination: I feel like CBS’s racism edit has been unfair to Aaryn, given that producers have placed the exclusive onus of racism on her shoulders. Spencer and GinaMarie, in particular, have fanned bigotry’s flames as often as Aaryn, yet their vitriol has not made it to CBS’s edit of the show. Racism and homophobia are unfortunately common, ordinary, everyday phenomena. When Big Brother constructs a narrative that suggests anti-gay and anti-people of color speech is extraordinary and relegated to a single person in the house, the show misses the point. I am thrilled that the program’s awesome production team has taken the first step in telling a complicated story about racism and homophobia. I just worry that they’ll miss an opportunity to go beyond the first step. Ratings jumped by over a million viewers when the initially included racism into the plot. Viewers are clearly ready for a more nuanced discussion about race and sexuality in the house. Go further, dig deeper. I believe in you, Big Brother.

This seems random. How the fukk did she meet my girl Topaz? Is BB Canada really that big in the states?

The houseguest talk about BB Canada all the time. They all watched it.

Some of the BB Canada house guests are in LA. They are having a meet up with some BBUS players.

Nah breh, she's just known for being the dumbest HG in BB history.









Nah, Marcellas still has that crown.

Listening to Howard's exit interview really shows how clueless this dude is.

He really thought Spencer turned on him.

I'm guessing this was from Howard's interview with Cesterino

Another interview

http://www.etonline.com/tv/136784_Big_Brother_Evictee_Howard_Overby_Interview/

Most of the controversial Big Brother 15 comments have been hurled in Howard Overby and Candice Stewart's direction. So following his eviction last night, ETonline caught up with Overby to talk about enduring this season's racially charged house, get his real thoughts on Aaryn Gries' racist leanings and find out who he thinks has the best shot to win it all.

ETonline: How was your Big Brother 15 experience?
Howard Overby: My experience has been life changing. I was always a fan of Big Brother, but I never thought about being on it. Being in the house was a blast; there wasn't a day that went by that I wasn't amazed by being in that house. The personal experience, the spiritual renewal and the personal maturity I underwent means more to me than anything.

ETonline: After the mattress flipping incident, you said that Candice helped snuff out your temper. Do you think having her in the house was better or worse for your game?
Overby: Yes and no. Yes because Candice was able to retaliate in a way I couldn't and I was able to resolve things in a way she couldn't. Knowing me personally, she knew if I fired back the situation could escalate quickly. My job ultimately became to protect her and maneuver her as far as I could. I knew she was a live wire -- especially in a situation where people have the numbers. It's very intimidating. Plus, they know how to get to you and how to get a rise out of you, so that was tough too. It didn't help because I don't think a lot of those things would have been said if I was in the house by myself. I don't think [Aaryn] would have said to me what she said to Candice.

ETonline: Does it surprise you that Aaryn and GinaMarie have lost jobs as a result of their racist comments?
Overby: I'm not surprised. I don't feel happy or vindicated about it. People make mistakes, I see [Aaryn] as an immature kid. GinaMarie has less of an excuse, she's a bit older, but I think there is an attention-seeking thing in the house and she gets carried away in the moment. That reveals, maybe, her real thoughts. Aaryn is hardcore. She won't apologize for it. I had a couple of talks with her where we buried the hatchet. Aaryn claims she's not a racist, says a lot of these things were made up, which I just ignored because that's not what she’s portraying. I wish it never happened. It's crazy to hear about the backlash. I pray for every castmate.

ETonline: Do you think Aaryn's racist?
Overby: I can't say if she is or isn't a racist; that's something that's portrayed by your actions. If your actions are racist, maybe you are. I hope it's not something that's ingrained in her by her upbringing and that it's just immaturity and being uncomfortable in front of the cameras. But I was always taught when a person is angry, scared or in power, that's when the real person comes out. And in those situations, that's what came out of Aaryn. I'll be interested to see what her attitude is when she comes out of the house. I'm not perfect, I've made mistakes and been forgiven, so I'm always open to forgive.

ETonline: Looking at the remaining players, who do you think stands the best chance at winning?
Overby: I would like to answer that threefold: McCrae. He's a historian of the game and in a great position because Amanda is his henchman. His hands are clean and everyone likes him, so if he takes her to the final two, no one will give her the money. Then, Helen. She's freakishly devious. Unless someone makes a power move, she's got control of the house. And then the wild card is Andy. He has no enemies in the house, he's fun and easy-going, I don't think he's lied once in the house and he's playing the game I wanted to play. Other than that, my personal favorite is Candice. I hope she lasts long.

Damn, it looks like Amanda, Andy, McCrae want Jess to go home over Candice even though Gina Marie wants everyone to Vote Candice out... Since I know the winner will be between Andy/McCrae/Amanda, I just cant wait to see these cowards faces when they get eliminated so I can be like "Should have listened to Howard when you had the chance dipshyt"

The legion of doom also want to approach Candace about getting Gina Marie out eventually as well... hahahahah All these followers are getting iced the fukk out... I can't wait for the double eviction..

That's what i'm waiting on. For them to damn near apologize to him for being right but going against him

 

[CJ]

Little late but Howard being evicted one of the WOAT.

Can't wait to being back home tomorrow so I can catch up and watch these feeds again.

 

[Lannister]

I can't believe I'm forced to root for Spencer, but he's the only hope left.

Howard played a terrible game, but at least he was aware of who needed to be taken out which more than I say for these idiots left in the house.

No argument from me there, entire group is just pathetic I'm still rooting for Elissa though.

 

[GreatestLaker]

He only knew about Amanda, because she was so open about wanting him out. He thinks Helen and Elissa are running the house. When they aren't. And he had no clue about Judd and Andy.

Howard had no idea what was going on. In his interview with Rob Cesternino he said he thinks Spencer was the person who betrayed him.

 

[Kliq_Souf]

Jessie and Candice nominated...

Amanda will likely be MVP vote.

Im not too familiar with past seasons, but how does the double evict work???

 

[Izanami]

lol

Spencer would have been on the block if Candace kept her mouth shut...
