Hello my amazing Big Brother 15 brothers and sisters!
|Hi guys! It’s Auntie Janet. I just wanted to pop in and say hello and to ask…
WHAT THE FRIGGIN HELL IS GOING ON WITH THIS Big Brother 15 CAST?!!
Oh….My….God….
First, I want to say that Todd is doing a fantastic job with Bigbigbrother this year! *round of applause, please* THANKS TODD! 🙂
I miss you all (and writing for the site) something fierce. But I recently completed my novel AND signed with a New York literary agency. (Squee!) So with deadlines, etc. now, I just wasn’t sure I could give BBB the attention it deserved. I’m so, so grateful that Todd stepped in!Â
So.. on to the REAL issues here. Â These misogynistic, insane, bigoted houseguests.
I…am appalled. Absolutely freaking appalled at some of the language being thrown around on the LIVE FEEDS. If you don’t have them, trust me on this– run, don’t walk to sign up!! This group of HG’s is in a class by themselves. Including…
The little Texas sweetheart, Aaryn and her crony in crime, Gina Marie .  Dear lord. Have we EVER seen HG’s quite like these before? I’m seriously blown away by the openly racist remarks.
Remember the good old days when Adam Jasinski got eviscerated for saying the “R” word” And these two don’t even seem worried about it. Did they NEVER watch the show? Did they do NO research once they made it to the finals? Guess not, or they’d realize what happens to a despised HG when they get out. (Ask Natalie Martinez) Perhaps if they had–maybe these “ladies” would learn to  STFU.
We’ve suffered bigots on the show before, but never this many and never so openly. As expected, the house is split between the “older” folks and the “younger.” Now, considering the fact that they are all around the SAME age, it should more aptly be split between…. “Horrifying Immature” and “Not QUITE as Horrifyingly Immature.”
Aaryn…*shudder*… You, Jessie (who makes me cringe), Kaitlin (who I WANT to like), and  Gina Marie (who is like that mom we all knew in high school who tries to relive her own childhood by dressing and acting like a teen herself? Sad… very sad…)–are acting like a bunch of bratty, inbred thirteen-year-olds. And seriously, what’s up with the jealousy?? Dude.. you’ve known these guys for less than TWO WEEKS! How about growing your own pair and start acting like WOMEN instead of silly girls!
I’m disappointed in Spencer. As a fellow Arkansan, I had high hopes for the big guy. Alas, he too has jumped in on the homophobe train. And though he IS an engineer, I believe he’s only riding caboose to fit in with the “guy’s guys” like Jeremy and David.
But wait…there’s still hope for this cast. And you’ll only know that by signing up for the LIVE FEEDS. Even if you don’t have time to watch 24/7– CBS has done a fantabulous job with the Highlights. I really enjoy those, since I don’t have the time I had in the past. You just scroll down.. Click on titles such as.. McCrae as Urkel. Howard and Nick talk strategy. And you just KNOW the word “meltdown” is going to be in play a lot!
Howard (quiet), Andy (adore!),  Judd (still unsure about him) and Nick, all seem like decent guys–at least so far. I think Nick intrigues me the most. (And I’m kinda digging on him) He’s playing a very low-level game, a la Dan Gheesling in his first season. I’ll be keeping a close watch on him.
What do ya’ll think? Who is your favorite–or at least most interesting HG so far?
On the female front we have Amanda–who has skated the edge with the other air-head girls, but not crossed over the line. Her “show/sexmance w/McCrae (and hey–who knew Pizza Boy’s had game?) could prove detrimental IF she ends up falling on the “Jr. High” side of the house. Candice and Helen seem pretty cool. Â When Aaryn corrected Candice’s grammar–telling her it’s “asked” not “axed” she stayed dignified. Â I was impressed.
Then there’s Elissa. Â Sure, she’s Rachel’s sister. But she doesn’t ACT like Rachel. (whew!) And you know the old saying, don’t you? Â Â You can pick your friends. You can pick your nose. But you can’t pick your friend’s nose.. Oh, WAIT– nope, wrong analogy. You can’t pick your RELATIVES. That’s the one I wanted.Â
IN any case, I think–if Elissa makes it through the next couple of weeks–she could be a good asset for the “older side.” I agree with Amanda in that she will likely be MVP–at least until a hero emerges. Raise your hand if you are longing for another helluvagreatguyorgal like a Jeff or a Jordan. Another slick, but decent mastermind like a Dan. Or even…a badass bully with a heart of gold like  an Evel Dick.  I doubt any of these Big Brother 15 pups can pull it off. But one can always hope.
I won’t go into the voting strategies. Looks like Todd has a handle on that. I just thought I ‘d pop in every now and then with an op/ed piece– see what ya’ll are thinking. Â I miss you and I miss bigbigbrother.com. Come hang out with us, though, cause we’ve still got the best info in town!
See ya soon!!

I miss you Janet!! Good luck with your book! Make sure you update when it hits the shelves!
Thanks, Keisha!
I miss all you guys, too! Especially since this season looks so insane!!
Insane isn’t even the word, I think this season will go way beyond that….
Has anyone seen that open letter Ragan wrote imploring CBS to show all the racist, homophobic etc comments to the viewers so they can see what the “token” players have to contend with in the house. Then he goes on to say that it’s amazing how little miss sweet texas can spew so much hated and vileness!
I just found it ironic since he did something similar with Brittney in their season to hg’s and more specifically to Rachel. They were absolutely vile!
It will be interesting to see how CBS and BB handle this situation! We’re watching….!! Depending how it’s handled or not handled will probably determine who will stay and see the season play out…
Just some of my thoughts on the matter.
Good to see you checking in Janet 🙂
i am very shocked at the racism… and the language this season!!!! seems that the cast is literally running the show with their own rules!!!! and I feel sorry For Elissa…. she is nothing like her sister than i can see thus far.. and trust me.. i am nothing like my sisters.. thank god!!!! i hope america will keep her in!!! and the cast all get a stern talking to about what they are saying!!!
Hey Janet!!…Good to hear from you. I hope your book is a SMASHING SUCCESS!…and if it’s anything like its author then it’s a foregone conclusion that it will be.
I am soooo IRITATED at these HGs. Some of them make Evel Dick look like a saint (halo and all). I still have hope for McCrae and Helen, but the rest i’ve written off as intolerant fools. I don’t think the powers that be will stop the nonsense. They are getting too much publicity and isn’t that what they want? At least…and it’s a very small comfort…it’s starting a conversation that i think should be had. Racism was declared dead in the 70s. Someone jumped the gun on that one. It’s not dead…just hidden well with some people. Sad to say but maybe it’s a good thing that Aaryn has taught us that we have a long way to go as a society. Inside the BB house…and out…lets hope that tolerance and understanding overcomes.
Janet!!!!
Its so good to see you here…!!! I.ve missed you terribly..You better let us know about your book..i can.t wait to read it!!!..I wish you the best of luck!!!
Now about these housequests.they are SO SO terrible and immature..like I said before almost painfull to watch.. I only hold out Hope for Helen, Howard and maybe Nick and Mcrae..and the ones from Texas my home State DO NOT represent .They are all so terrible…Aaryn,Jeremy,Jessie..uuugghhh..This cast is HORRIBLE…I don.t know if this season can be saved..they are all so dreadful…
But please pop in again and see us again,,Todd is doing great…miss you terribly but wish you all the best you deserve it!!!
Great to hear from you JO, Susan, and Cat!! And thanks for the comments about the book.. (Fingers crossed)
Yeah– I am in utter and complete AWE at the way these young little buttheads are acting. Crazy in this day and age. BUT… I DO have to agree with JO1’s comment about Ragan. Ummm..buddy– I love you now–but when you were in the house, you and Britney were ALMOST as bad to Rachel..
And hey– what are ya’ll thinking about Nick? I just can’t get a read on him, but I haven’t seen him do any of the horrible things..
yeah Nick is kinda like a Dan..just a lay low sleep a lot non confrontational type dude..other then being in with the moving company alliance..he doesn.t do much..but some people are scared because they can’t read him either..if he can stay under the radar and let the others eat each other up–he wil go far in te game.
I have to agree with Susan. Nick is somewhat of a lay-low type. I’m not sure how i feel about him though. He has made a couple of remarks that made me wonder what kind of guy would say that. But at least it was nothing bigoted. I equate him with Jessie. Egotistical and a little over confident. He has more than one alliance and i’m not sure which he is the most loyal too. But that’s typical. On a side note…i think McCrae has his number.
After watching him a little bit he reminded me a little bit of Dr. Will. I agree totally with Cat in the comparison of Jessie. I am still on the fence with him myself. I have to catch up on my dvr’d after dark. Haven’t had much time to watch much of it yet. Howard seems pretty sensible so far. I like Helen too. I think I am going to like Mccrae more as time goes by…Jury is still out on that.
I am just sick this year with Aaryn and Jeremy. What self centered rich brats. I am outraged at the things Jeremy is saying. Paula Dean looses everything for a word 30 years ago. These Kids need to be called on all there hateful words also. I hope they get called out, I have watched every year of Big Brother and love the show but this the worst.
IMO if BB was smart they would pull at least one or more of them from the show! This would show the others that these type of things will not be tolerated. It would set a standard (if they decide to have standards) and make CBS look like it cares about the content that they put out to us viewers. I know it’s hard for them to do that because they think that they are showing what America wants to see but they are mistaking if they think we want to see all that hatred and bigotry! We like the drama and the general game trash talking but we do not abide the things these ignorant hg’s are saying.
Every year house guest sign a contract stating they will not have racial slurs and will not sing in the house. Every year production says over the microphone so and so stop signing and this year house guest stop saying racial slurs. The house guest then will yell at production and mock who ever is on the micro phone like they are entitled to say or sing what they want. I propose when the house guest have to be reminded to stay within their contract and mock or refuse production, they immediately get a time out in the have nots room for a week, including Jeremy who has a pass. Come on BB, if the house guest are going to act like spoiled entitled children, then treat them as such.
You know, i’m really wondering what the fallout from all the controversy is going to be. Seems like there are a TON of fans complaining about Aaryn. Not just on this website but others also. A fan posted on another site the headline from The Dallas Morning News tv site. It read “Texan makes numerous racial and discriminatory comments on CBS Big Brother”. Plus a pic of Aaryn was included. Will CBS get such flack from its fans that the show would be cancelled? It’s not exactly the best of times for this subject to arise for them (considering the Paula Deen debacle). So what do you guys think? Is this the beginning of the end of our beloved BB? Or just another chapter in the continuing story of BB characters we love to hate?
JANET!!! I am so glad you popped in. WOW and so impressed, congratulation on the book!!!
I have really struggled to watch the live feeds so far this year. I am so dissapointed, if this is a sample of our youth today. It is shameful. So far the only one I think it worth a lick is McCrae. Everyone else is either still on probation with me or should be kicked off the Island…wait that is another show…heehee.
Anyway, Todd is doing a great job but there is nothing reading your commentary. I always feel you take the words right out of my mouth. You are missed 🙂
Actually I don’t think this will be a popular opinion…I am intrigued by David. I saw some very intellectual game play talk on the live feeds from him till his little girlfriend came along and chastized him for an hour. I was hoping after he got safe he would drop her like a hot potatoe and start playing the game. I dont think it is going to happen and I will be suprised if he makes it through this week. ho hum
BB After Dark…..terrible. Not in HDTV, a lot of commercials, and it is censored, so not enjoyable to watch. It was so good when it was on ShowTime, this year it stinks.
Absolutely! Agree
I’m glad I don’t have to pay for showtime but its a chore to try and understand the so called live feeds when it’s constantly cutting out.
Terrible cast
Terrible after dark
What is with these chicks humping on the guys like they are dogs in heat? 9 days? Really?
You look pathetic

We’ll know more once the diary room sessions are shown. That gives a better idiea who is actually playing it smart. Jeff would fit right in with this cast. Don’t know why anyone pretends he was a good guy. He was a bully most of the time and had his share of anti-gay comments. I dont have a problem with guests making bigoted comments as long as they are televised.
I’m a fan from day one BB 1: but this is the worst cast ever.
They’re too similar.
I feel like I’m watching the real world only way worse.
I hope it gets better.
It’s annoying.
Whoever cast this group really dropped the ball
Does anyone else think that this cast looks like past casts? I’m wondering if Elissa isn’t the only one who has a past family member who was on BB. Maybe that’s another of this years twists.
I think Aaryn is Danielle from an earlier season of Big Brother. It looks like she changed her hair color to blonde & gained some weight. She is playing very low key. I knew her voice sounded familiar.
I’v been thinking that Aaron is related to Danielle and Evil Dick. She does look and act like Danielle. Also Nick does look like he might be related to Dan. I don’t know about the rest though.
After dark sucks, no hdtv,and censored!! You cant figure out what they are saying!
