Big Brother 2014 Spoilers: Caleb Reynolds Bringing Racism Back This Season?
|I hate to even talk about this subject again and I am hoping producers nip this in the butt before it becomes an issue for Big Brother 16, but could we be faced with some more racist comments on Big Brother 2014? Did the producers not learn from the disaster of Big Brother 15? I would assume that the screening process would be even more intense this summer, but it looks like someone slipped through the cracks! Could Caleb Reynolds bring the racist and homophobic comments back this season? Check out the details below in my Big Brother 2014 spoilers!
It looks like Caleb Reynolds was not happy about the reelection of President Barack Obama and he went to his Instagram account to discuss it. The post has been deleted now, but our friends at Hamsterwatch.com got the screen shot and you can check it out below:

Sorry it is so small, but he basically is not happy about four more years of Obama. Someone comments on the post in support of Obama and Caleb decides to go into a homophobic and racist rant! He uses the term “fags” and calls President Obama a “Muslim monkey.” Whether you support Obama or not, he is still the President of the United States and he deserves your respect and honor. I don’t know what makes people think they can make comments like this and get away with it.
To be honest, I thought Caleb was easy on the eyes and could be a new Judd Daugherty this season. Now, I am not even sure what to think about him. His comments are beyond disgusting and we can only hope that in the 20 months since he posted that he had grown up a little. CBS should scan every social media posts of the Big Brother 2014 cast before releasing them to the public. Let’s hope producers have put these people through the ringer on what is allowed and what is not allowed to be said. I don’t want a repeat of Big Brother 15, but Caleb Reynolds could definitely be the start of something terrible!
I will go into Big Brother 16 with an open mind and hope for the best, but I have my eye on you Caleb and not in the same way I had my eye on you when I first saw your cast photo!

Thanks Todd. There is always one bad apple in the bunch, maybe this year there will not be as many as BB15 because if there are I will quit watching all together. You are right why do they not screen these people better. And what a better way to do it than the internet.
You would assume they have a team of people just to go through all their social media profiles and check out every one of their posts! If he is a bad apple, I hope we have people that will speak up this season and put him in his place!
His post wasnt racist, really?!?! He exercised his right to freedom of speech. At no point did he make a racist remark. He was commenting on the performace (accurately i also must say) of our current president. Dont let the media twist comments into news stories becuase they’re too dumb to write their own. -Mike Huckabee 2016!!
Oh Adam, good attempt, but how is “Muslim monkey” not racist? I would love your feedback on this.
I’m missing something, where does it show he said that?
Clicking on the picture. On the side are comments and his is the second comment, which he says some terrible things. It is tiny writing, but it is in there

That’s horrible. Thanks Todd, again! 🙂
all i can see on my monitor was “yeah for obama for another 4 years of shredding this country” i didnt see any other comments. now, if he did say “muslim monkey” than yes thats racist.
ok i see it now, yes he should have removed that when he decided to audition for big brother because you knwo the producers are going to dig deep into yuor personal life.
Yeah, I am fine with people making posts like Caleb initially did with that memo pad thing. We all have our own opinions, but it was his comments on the side that are wrong. I just don’t get why people don’t think these things will be found when they get on a show!
So the use of the word fag doesn’t offend you? Or how about “Muslim monkey”? Of course he is free to say those things. But he also has to take the blow back when using derogatory words to describe people different from him. You can disagree with someones position/lifestyle without sinking to forms of disrespect of the lowest form. Simple minds resort to name calling when faced with alternate opinions.
A leopard don’t change the color of their spots overnight.
Q: “why do they not screen these people better.”
A: People lie.
LMAO Richard love that one. Welcome have not seen you on here before.
Very true. People rarely reveal anything negative about themselves when trying to get something they want (to be on tv/BB). But not checking out their social media sites is negligent. Of course we don’t want all house guests holding the same views. But if i were BB i would want to know if i’m putting my foot into a big steaming pile of dog doo doo. That’s what happened last year. And they’re still trying to scrape the mess from the bottom of their shoes.
Someone on YouTube commented that Caleb is a homophobic racist. Pretty strong accusations – I wonder if this person happens to know him personally.
I could not find him on YouTube I am still looking.
I love BB and have since season 1. I am also going into the season open minded. But I worry that there are too many recruited players. I love there to be more players like Chicken George and Evil Dick, players with personality. I look at the photos and it seems like production is prepackaging the guest to play a role in the house. So far I see the wacky surf dude; the rebel female, the redneck (sorry politically correct – non urban camo wearing gentleman) and so on. I am a bit worried but we will see. Digging up a deleted post is a bit much but it is what they get for signing on to get their 15 minutes. I hope the post was deleted because he reconsidered the post and took it down but you know it was not it was deleted to either be considered for the show or because he scrubbed everything after getting the invite to BB. Todd the comments about race are way out of line. But I do not agree with your statement that the President of the United States deserves your respect and honor. If I disagree with the policies and the way an administration conducts business they will not receive my respect. In the modern era there were 2 presidents that garner my respect Kennedy and Regan. OK that off my chest I hope we have a great season .
I guess when saying respect, I meant more of not using those terms when referring to him. The President used to be the highest position in the land and to get that deserved respect, no matter if you agreed with their policies or not. He is the President, not a “Muslim monkey.”
And let’s hope for a great season!
He lost that respect!!!!!!!!
Respect The job, not necessarily the person. This Caleb dude is totally out of order. You don’t like our pres? VOTE!
Worried about the country? put on a uniform.
As far as the season…. we have a backup……. Duck Dynasty!
I wrote to them and asked them to build their version of a BB house.
I guarantee there are more among the new BB participants. The scum always floats to the top; slowly but surly!
Caleb was deployed to Iraq for 14 months and claims he has been all over the world. If this is an example of his “worldliness” then he didn’t learn much about expressing himself. Or respect.
Also on YouTube he preached a Sermon to a group at a church.
Seems the internet is already exploding with stories about this guy.
Exploding is putting it mild.
BB LIVES!
Needs to be renamed BB15A !
I agree two days until it starts and it is already crazy.
In the last 20 minutes i’ve watched videos of him killing a wild boar with a stick…beating it to death and apparently another video out there about him doing the same to a coyote (which i haven’t viewed yet), his use of the word “retard” and read several reviews of his bio that claim he has mental problems due to his stint in Iraq. Things are sliding slowly into the same territory of last years debacle. It won’t take much more to tip it over the edge.
Cat, We have wild bore here and cyoties there is no way in the world he killed them with a stick. Somehow it must have been staged. They are both very aggressive and will attack in a second. We have to turn the lights on outside before we go out the bores are so bad here. And the cyotes are in packs so I doubt that either. This guy is a pure joke.
I sent you a link to the video.

Yahoo is never wrong: kill a boar with a stick, yes sir!
Carol
Sorry a bit off BB subject, but
Did you say somewhere you carry a firearm?
No expert!, but I have hunted in my time. Those boar/pigs are not an easy kill. I used a 12ga shotgun with “slugs”. Actually a powerful handgun is better because you have plenty of room to change direction and see more around you. My best iron friend in that case was both a .357 Mag with a 6″ barrel and the mighty .44 mag. They both kick like a mule, but a strained wrist is a lot better than an attack! You being a lady, I admire your apparent toughness. I would not mess with any lady that can handle a .357 or .44 mag! lol
BTW: Anything less, ah la 9mm, 380, .38spec is too light and like a .22, would only tick the animal off. The .357 needs to be 158 grain or higher. The .44 with a 304/320!grain will do it cleanly in one well placed shot without question. They make some new .50 cal handguns, but I neither have one or even shot one. My S&W .357 mag and S&W .44 are cannons of proven results. A very good investment I am considering is a laser. Properly set up, the bullet goes exactly where the light is! Could be a lifesaver IMHO.
Now is that not better than a STICK?:-)
I have watched every season of BB, I was just wondering when do they actually enter the house now? it used be on the premiere, they entered live, now it looks as if they have been there for days!
It looks like the went in on Friday or Saturday. The shows on Wednesday and Thursday will be recorded earlier. First live show is July 3rd, which is the first eviction show.
In the past I thought the houseguest were in for like 2 weeks to get enought footage but I guess 5 days would be enough.
If they are already there, can we now see the 24/7 cameras we paid for?
Nope, they don’t start those until after the show on Thursday night
Still on vacation BB buddies! Just came in from a boat ride in the Gulf!!
So far, so good: People on this page can disagree passionately and (sometimes) intelligently. But we try to be civil. I happen to be conservative politically and was saddened by President Obama’s reelection because I sincerely believe it is not good for our country. That said. I would NEVER name call and certainly NOT racist comments!! I disagree with the man’s politics, but I would vote for Dr. Ben Carson in a heartbeat because the color of a person’s skin matters not one bit!!! And anyone who has to resort to that sort of language to make an argument doesn’t deserve debating with.
Political rant off my chest….
You know I’m getting concerned about BB16. It really doesn’t bode well for much of an improvement over BB15. But I will still keep my fingers crossed…! 🙂
I agree 100% Lilly. Enjoy your time off.
Ok, i’ve officially signed up for the feeds. Throwing my support your way Todd. Now let the games begin!!
Thanks Cat! Despite all the bad press and buildup, I am thinking we’ll have a good season. They don’t want a repeat of last season, so I am crossing my fingers and toes!
Positive outlook, I like that. Know if you could just fix it so I don’t have to enter all my information to make a post, I’d really appreciate it. Yup, it’s happening again.
I am now having the same issue Mary, what happened.
Todd, we all have the right to free speech. It may have been a poor choice of words, but he obviously feels very strong about what is currently happening in this country, I do as well. Obama is not only tearing this country apart, he is doing it in what some people would say is treasonous.Being the president does not give him the right to do all the things he has done. I don’t care what color a persons skin is. I care how HE/SHE RESPECTS this country.
hmmmmm
As far as the show. I couldn’t agree with you more. Last season was terrible!!
Allot of new posters on here. I say welcome..
OK knowing what you know right now. Who wins this season? I know it is a guess and no science around it but would it be fun to put down a name and see in a few months if your hunch was right. I am inbetween Christie and Frankie. Frankie will have the advantage as to any internet votes but have a hunch I choose Christie (watch she will be the first out).
I’m thinking Derrick. He’s an undercover cop and should know how to handle himself. But i’m usually wrong 🙂
preaching to the choir. We draw names before the season every year in the office and the person with the evicted houseguest for that week has to bring in breakfast for the group the day after eviction night. I have not made it past week 3 in several years. I had Nick last year. We draw tomorrow. Can not wait
That sounds like such fun!! Good luck and don’t go broke buying all those breakfasts 🙂
What a great idea! I hope you make it passed week 3 this year Jon 🙂
Cat, you are contradicting yourself. On one of your posts to said you were a good judge of character and now you’re saying “but I’m usually wrong”. I’m going with your first assessment of yourself, I don’t think you are ever wrong (not on here at least) 🙂
I like Derrick as well. I hope he’s true to his word and doesn’t let me down.
Just because you don’t like Obama, doesn’t mean you are racist.I didn’t like Clinton either, and I am white. Definately don’t want Hilary and I am a woman.
True. But if you use the words “Muslim monkey” to describe him then you’re definitely leaning towards the racist category.
Hello, My BB Buds, Just one more day until BB16, and I’m psyched. I signed up for the live feed a couple of weeks ago, by clicking on Todd’s link of course. I’m really enjoying Jeff’s interviews with former big brother houseguests. It’s interesting to see what they’ve been up to since leaving the house. By the way, I’ve been having problems with disappearing comments/posts, one minute they are there the next minute they are gone. At one point, I thought I was doing something wrong, and my posts were being deleted. However, I’ve noticed a few other posts that were there a couple of days ago are no longer there. Therefore, there might be a glitch somewhere on the site that’s causing the problem. Phew, what a relief! Todd, Please help! I know you are on the ball and will look into it. Thanks you!
I have been having the same problem Joycelyne I do not know what happened. And everytime I want to comment I have to put in my name and email address, I have never had to do that before. Todd check this out for us, as the BIG show is fixing to start and we all want our comments be seen. Thanks Todd you are the best.
I’m still having problems as well.
What a pain in the rear Mary.
Hi Buddies, It sure isn’t it? Let’s hope it gets resolved by tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
One more sleep ya all!
Yes indeed Mary. The all the colors of the HG will come out. Can not wait to see how Caleb does. I am sure it will be like BB15
Not able to view it Cat. It has been removed?
I watched it yesterday. Don’t know why it was removed.
Good Morning Buddies, Carol, Mary, Cat, I’m reading your posts, but I’m really having a hard time following. There is something missing. Oh dear, Oh dear!!! It’s going to be fun. Have a great day ladies.
Good morning Joycelyne there was a video out there on Caleb showing him killing a wild bore with a stick. (yea right) Cat sent me the link and it has been removed all of them, so to me it was staged because no way in the world would this guy kill a wild bore with a stick he would have been attacked.
Carol, You are a sweetheart! I should have known is started out as a private chat between you and Cat, (silly, silly me) but because of the problems we’ve been having with disappearing posts. I chalked it up to that (do I hear the word paranoid). So, so sorry for intruding, and thank you for the explaining. You are wonderful!
Joycelyne, you’re not the first person to say i confuse them 🙂 . And you NEVER intrude. Your comments are always welcome…and intersting.
Cat, I seriously doubt they were referring to you when use the word confused. It just doesn’t make sense. I highly suspect they were referring to the other Cat, you know, Cat Stevens a.k.a (Yusuf Islam) But certainly not you, Cat. 🙂
Thanks girl. Just like Cat said you never are intruding. We love all comments on here. At least everyone is getting along not like allot of other posts, they are just pure mean.
Thank you Carol!! 🙂
I am picking Christine and Donny to make it to the finals.
They will form a close bonded friendship and take each other through.
I agree Teresa

I do not know about anyone else but I can not get this one up either.
Carol
type “can you kill a boar with a stick?”
in a Yahoo or Google search engine….
and go from there. it is right there. 🙂
HaHa…some of the comments on that article are priceless! Such as :disguise yourself as a wild pig and blend in with the surroundings. Yeah…right. And if the wild pig decides it’s mating season you’re in for a very unique experience.
I agree, they need to do a social media scan as a first line of defense. But, CBS thrived off of the controversy last year. Personally, I think anyone who says such vile things, doesn’t deserve a shot at $500,000
Yes they should. But since all the controversy draws in viewers, i think they’ve decided that putting a disclaimer before the show absolves them of any fault. This is not the first time controversy has occurred. It goes back further than BB15. But i think the public has become more educated about and aware of unfair/derogatory language and expects better. Obviously there are a few that missed the memo about debating an issue with intelligence and respect. So i’m afraid this sort of house guest might become a trend.
What a huge disappointment it was to learn of Caleb’s racism and homophobia. Some of his quotes and comments online from his previous online activity are pretty inflammatory. Makes me really glad that Mr. Ego didn’t make it to the end and illustrates just how completely clueless he REALLY is. Hopefully, his experience in the house taught him something about respect and getting along with others. I’d hate to think that he was going to go through Life as a total azzhole.
