Good news – um, maybe – Big Brother fans!

Despite the controversial nightmare that was Big Brother 15, Big Brother will return next summer for season 16. I'm beyond ready for this horrible season to end, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't ready and willing to do it all over again.

I just can't help myself. Big Brother owns me!

I fully expect Big Brother to bring back a few (if not all) veteran players next summer. This season's much anticipated all new cast sucked. That said it's hardly been the "worst season ever" as far as ratings go. Big Brother 15 is averaging 7.29 million viewers and viewership is up 11% over last summer.

Big Brother 15's second double eviction episode is tonight! Going into the first eviction, we have misogynist, nomination couch potato Spencer Clawson and racist, perpetual victim Amanda Zuckerman on the block.

I desperately need for Amanda to be the first houseguest voted out of the Big Brother house tonight. It will make perfect sense and be a glorious sight!

That said, a lot has happened in the Big Brother house since early Tuesday morning – an unlikely partnership and an explosive fight – that could influence tonight's votes. Expect ~~diary room manipulation~~ the unexpected!

Big Brother 15: Double Eviction, Jury, Expect The Unexpected!

by Melissaon August 8th, 2013

Tonight's live episode of Big Brother 15 is going to be crazy – double eviction, jury reveal, rumored game-changer! Expect the unexpected, right?

The first eviction will send either Amanda Zuckerman, Candice Stewart, or Spencer Clawson to the jury house. That's right – jury starts this week! This is going to be a huge slap in the face to those who have made decisions based on a seven person jury. Too bad. So sad.

Then the remaining houseguests will play an entire week of Big Brother in a matter of minutes. Host Julie Chen will rush the frenzied hamsters through a head of household competition, nominations, power of veto competition and ceremony, and eviction.

Big Brother 15’s Spencer Clawson Makes Child Porn Jokes; Police Take Action

by Melissaon August 8th, 2013

Can Big Brother 15 get any worse? Note to CBS: This is NOT a challenge!

Big Brother houseguests Amanda Zuckerman, GinaMarie Zimmerman, Aaryn Gries, and Spencer Clawson (just to name a few) have all uttered reprehensible remarks on the uncensored live feeds. CBS has aired some of the comments but not all – not even close to all or even the worst of the worst.

Of course, this is not new information, but the fact that Spencer's recent live feed comments (meant to be a joke) about child p*rnography have prompted police action is.

Evicted Big Brother Houseguest Howard Overby Dishes On Eviction, Aaryn Gries

by Melissaon August 3rd, 2013

Big Brother 15 has been consumed by controversy with several houseguests spewing hateful and racist remarks every chance they get. Aaryn Gries, a 22-year-old college student/model from Texas, has been denounced by fans of the show and mainstream media, which led to the end of her modeling contract, for her ignorance.

Of course, the uncensored live feeds clearly show that Aaryn is not alone, but CBS has decided that she shall be the poster child for everything that's wrong with Big Brother 15. (Please don't think I feel sorry for her – I do not.)

Howard Overby, a 29-year-old youth counselor from Mississippi, was targeted by Aaryn (Head of Household) and Amanda Zuckerman (Queen of Bullydom) and evicted on Thursday. Immediately following his eviction, Howard told Julie Chen, enduring racism inside the Big Brother house was the "hardest thing in the world."

Evicted Big Brother Houseguest Kaitlin Barnaby Talks Regrets And Mean Girls; Insists She’s “Guilty By Association” Only

by Melissaon July 27th, 2013

Big Brother 15's mean girls – Kaitlin Barnaby, GinaMarie Zimmerman, and Aaryn Gries – found themselves "on the block" this past week. Kaitlin, a 23-year-old bartender from Minnesota, was evicted from the Big Brother house by a vote of 9-0-0. Much to her surprise!

Since her eviction, Kaitlin admitted she didn't know Aaryn was campaigning against her, adding, "The fact that they kept her instead of me – I hope she finds a way to stay in that house – for karma."

Also, when it comes to being a mean girl, Kaitlin insisted she's simply "guilty by association" because she was "sweet to everyone." Is Kaitlin a mean girl or a victim? She wants us to believe it's the latter – you be the judge!

Big Brother 15 Live Feeds Reveal Hateful, Racist Comments; GinaMarie Zimmerman And Aaryn Gries Fired From Their Jobs

by Melissaon July 3rd, 2013

big-brother-15-cast-aaryn-gries-ginamarie-zimmerman-racism

As a huge fan of Big Brother – and avid follower of the uncensored live feeds – I'm sickened by the racism, misogyny, and homophobia coming from the Big Brother 15 cast this ~~summer~~ week. Oy. I have to repeatedly remind myself that it's only the first week.

Apparently, CBS/Big Brother has asked the houseguests to not make racial or derogatory remarks against others in the house, but that's the EXTENT of CBS/Big Brother's willingness to get involved.

Whether or not the racial slurs make it to the CBS broadcasts of Big Brother remains to be seen, but in my opinion, hiding it exacerbates the problem. My guess, CBS will pretend the racism, misogyny, and homophobia inside the Big Brother house does not exist, which is unfortunate.
