I wonder if Rachel's sister will be as annoying :fp:

She's a carbon copy, so yes!!! It hurts my eyes to look at her. And the girl from Staten Island needs to go, I don't care how wonderful her boobs are. I like Howard and Spencer. Seem like 2 solid dudes. Jeremy needs to go soon too!

It's nice that BB After Dark is on TVGN this season. It's included on most basic sat packages. Every previous season we actually subscribed to Showtime during BB just so we could watch the After Dark shows.

I thought it would be ok, but all of the bleeping makes it very hard to follow the conversations. Also, with all the commercials it is like we are only getting about an hour and a half of show. We already have Showtime, so I wish they would go back to that.

On another note, I am disappointed in the number of racist comments that I have read that Ginamarie, Spencer, and Kaitlyn have made. Spencer is now off my favorites list. Pulling for McCrae, Howard, and Helen now. I'm sure this will change many more times!

Ya I agree about the overly censored conversations are harder to follow for sure.

I think Andy the redhead is going to play a good game. He seems smart and calculating so far. If he doesn't piss any one off he could sneak by for a long time.

Theres a TVGN finder according to your zip code and carrier on the BB website.

Also, theres aparently an application for your smartphone you can download also,--for the reall BB junkies out there.

Most racist cast ever ?

The "Big Brother" live feeds are always streaming, and they've captured some racist and homophobic and comments from the show's contestants.

In a video, GinaMarie, Aaryn and Kaitlin take turns hurling stereotypes at their Asian, African-American and gay competitors in a conversation that was edited out of the reality show's CBS airing.

Aaryn and GinaMarie first made fun of Helen, an Asian-American contestant. "Dude, shut up, go make some rice," Aaryn says. Later, GinaMarie adds, "Andy was like, 'I'm gonna punch her in the face,' and I was like, 'Maybe that'll make her eyes straight.'"

The conversation then turned to Howard and Candice, two African-American contestants. "Blacks stick together ... They're like tokens ... They're like black Barbie and Kens," someone on the tape says, before another voice says that Candice's "blackness" was coming out.

They then worried aloud about Andy getting the MVP "because everybody loves the queers."

Zap2It reports that after the conversation, producers got on the "Big Brother" house loudspeaker to warn the contestants not to use racial slurs against other housemates.

Former "Big Brother" contestant Ragan Fox wrote an open letter to the "Big Brother" production team, urging them to actually air the racist comments on the show's CBS broadcast, to provide a full picture of how these contestants actually treat other people. "What’s the point of casting racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities if production’s going to edit out the racism, ethnic discrimination, and homophobia that these people encounter inside the house?" he asks.

"Big Brother 15" airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET, Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET and Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

I agree - I mean, I get the show needs to be edited for reasons related to time and the game itself, but I'm all for revealing people's true (and in this case, pretty sad and blatant) colors, for better or worse. As with "real life", I'd rather KNOW someone's a bigot, or closeminded, or cruel, rather than it being hidden.

They definitely need to show this on the CBS broadcast. I knew about it a few days ago, because I read a live feed transcript (I know - I'm a BB nerd ). It happens multiple times a day. Really sad that people still have these beliefs.

Any of you guys wanna admit to having the live feeds?

Finally watched the first two episodes yesterday.... The person in charge of casting should be fired. The women in particular are terrible choices. I'm getting really sick of BB USA casting only hot young chicks for one thing. I'd really prefer to see a cast that represents real society, with a mix of age, styles, backgrounds... and the show is not at all ethnically diverse either. After watching BB Canada's first season, I feel even more strongly about that, because BB Canada did get regular people (with interesting personalities) who reflected actual society, and that was WAY better than this crap, with just pretty girls talking about how pretty they are then a bunch of mostly stupid guys with a couple of what I think we're supposed to think of as social outcasts (who are actually just normal) thrown in for luck. It's really ridiculous. And of course the token black guy and the token Asian chick and the token gay guy .... :fp: Pretty sure that American is not 85% hot young straight white people. :fp:

Totally agree with you - I am sick of casting wannabe actors. More diversity of races, ages, etc. would be great. It seems like earlier seasons were more diverse. If they are going to continue with this type of casting, put all pretty blonde chicks and one hot guy and let us watch one big cat fight!

These girls are absolute scumbags and are immediately unappealing. I'm not even sure I want to watch it anymore. I believe CBS does need to show this material. Staten Island chick is a 2 face. Wow, she looks like a different person without makeup and boobs under her chin.

They're awful. All most of them seem to talk about is whether or not they're prettier than everyone else, and how other girls are jealous of how good looking they are, and what guy they can get with so that they can get further in the game, kind of like whores. It's just pathetic. They should be ashamed of themselves. I'm not sure I really want to watch it much either.... I hope they get real soon.

Only a true bigoted idiot would say that shit while knowing everything they say is being filmed.

Any one else think McCrae's use of the veto was stupid? I think that's gonna come back and bite him.
