I wonder why BB chose not to show Chima's comment about Russell being a terrorist. I think it would have only been fair since she stood up and gave her speach about Brandon making racist comments and talking bad about women. It really makes me mad when the first person to stand up and cry foul is the first person to throw out the comments when they get mad.

I am not saying that Brandon was right in the things that he said, they were not nice and should not have been said. I am just saying that if they would show Brandon's comments and of course had no choice in showing Chima's rebuttal, they should have also shown her comments about Russell.

Stop - Chima's speech about Braden was heavily censored. As for why her comments about Russ didn't get broadcast, it seems fairly obvious to me. CBS can't open that can of worms, even if she did say it. Just like they didn't show Braden's comments.

Ks, I thought they did show some of Braden's comments, at least the comments about women. When he called Lydis a S**t. They have shown comments that HG have said in the past, what about when Ryan called someone a retard, they had no problem showing that.

I guess it just really irks me that she was all indignant about Brandon and she is just as bad. Pratice what you preach.

I agree, she needs to practice what she preaches, but, in the current world climate "terrorist" is a lot heavier than skank or retard. CBS can not broadcast her saying that. It would get them in big PR trouble. Broadcasting it for entertainment/drama value is silent consent.

The fight was edited to make it seem like it was about game. Russell set Michele up as a liar and Chima was outraged over him telling the whole house that she threw herself at him.
The fight was not really about game but they edited out all the personal stuff to make it seem like it was all game.

I say show her comment, but also show the comment that Russ supposedly made when he called Chima the "N" word.
Let's be < pun definitely intended> Equal opportunity on this topic.

Neither should have said what they did;but let's be real it happens. The irony is that they should know good and well it could come back to haunt them since they are being recorded 24/7.
Why should her comment only be targeted ? I am not even a Chima fan < at all >
and she is in my sorority.

Mara, I did not know Russell called Chima the "N" word. If he did that then by all means they should have shown that too. I knew that he told Lydia that Chima was "to dark for him" and I thought that was bad enough.

I just don't understand what makes people say the things they say.

Mara...if we're going to show it all, then show Jeff and Jordan using the "gay" and "f*g" and "homo" remarks; show Chima saying "screw whitey" and the "N" word and "terrorist"; show it all.

They are not going to show it because the show is not about everything they do in there. It's about finding the story lines and editing the show to follow those story lines.

There is always a huge difference between what we see on the Feeds and what we see on the show. Sometimes we are outraged when we have seen something and it is never shown. Like in BB9 when Crazy James radically threw the pickles on Natalie.

The television show part of this is one side of it.
The Feeds are a whole other part.

And that why I have the Feeds.

People are so very interesting in their behaviors and how they justify, to themselves and to others, their own behavior when they villify that same behavior in others.



And, by the way, unless it happened last night, I haven't heard Russell use the "N" word. Can you point me to that, Marameko?

I heard Russell tell Jesse that he could have used the "N" word and didn't (and he said "N" word, not the word itself). I never heard him actually use it against her.

It's a really different picture to be watching only the CBS show and not the live feeds this year (and not reading the summaries or watching YouTubes).

The fight seemed very real, and all setup by Michelle. But you could also see what she specifically said was referenced by the editors to Week 2 when Ronnie was on the block and the Athletes suggested backdooring Russell after he blew up at Ronnie. What Russell said to Chima and then Chima said to Michelle made it seem like Chima was planning a future backdoor, not talking about a past idea. So Michelle technically wasn't lying when she said she didn't say that. Cause she seemed to have been talking about the past, not the future.

But I suppose it was very heavily edited (still quite entertaining).

Lori, I think all the back and forth that was going on was seen as unsavory so the Mods locked us all out. I took it to mean we were all sent to time-out.

Marameko - She is a disgrace to our sorority isn't she. If a ever see her in LA with pink and green on, I might just smack her and tell her to grow up.

Other than for ratings,I see no justifiable reason to protect/defend Chima when they are editing.It is unfair to all the people who have been called out on their outburts.Why should she be any different? I have heard more derogatory comments toward whites,Arab(arabic?)spanish,and many other races,but yet she continues to come out like a rose.if you are going to call HGs out on it,call them ALL out on it..

Russell was talking to someone (don't remember who) about Chima calling him a terrorist. He asked if that's ok is it alright for him to call her the N word. Except he said the word.

I knew that he told Lydia that Chima was "to dark for him"

Was he referring to her skin tone or her personality?

I do know that he has often said that Blondes are his "type".

Bee - FB is Aug 6th Cam 3 about 12:37 pm (Russ is talking to Jesse)... Russ says it just before we go to "We'll be right back".

Chima insulted Russell's manhood and and his ear. She said terrible things to him too. This girl is not innocent where this fight is concerned. She is no better than Braden or Russell as far as name calling. The word racist is overused and I am so tired of it.

I really hope at some point Russell announces that he knows Chima called him a "terrorist" in the context with "bombs" and flying airplanes. I am not a fan of Russell but I also don't think it's right for Chima to say almost anything and then try to pass it off as just a "joke". Prejudice is color blind. Some of the worst racial remarks I have heard in my life were passed of as "jokes". Especially since Chima made such a big deal about Braden's remarks she should be the kind of person she wants others to be.

If one reads my posting I never said that Russell definitely used the "N" word and yes Jada Chima is a disgrace to the sorority.

Gotcha, Marameko.



Again, I would say that I find it so very interesting how one (Chima, in this case) can completely villify another for racist, bigoted, misogynitic remarks and then justify or excuse themselves when they do the very same thing.

BB is always full of that whole "it's not okay for them, but it's okay for me" type of thinking but this year seems to be just FULL of nasty remarks.

However, this is why I love BB. Nowhere else can the study of human behavior be enjoyed as it is when watching these Feeds.

Fascinating.

So I ask once again. With all the comments that she has made about Russell do you think any of them should be shown? I just don't think it is really fair that she gets to say anything she wants to while preaching about others saying bad stuff. I really think she crossed the line last night with the "Russell is a terrorist and I am the Twin Towers" comment. That is just not something that should be said by anyone...ever! I think she should be held accountable for her comments like she holds others accountable for theres. There are lots of people who only watch the shows and will never know what she has said, and I think they should be told.

ITA, Stopthemadness! Calling someone a terrorist in these days is bad enough, but on BBAD last nite calling him a terrorist (I thould she said he was the 'planes') and herself the Twin Towers was way-y-y over the line! The wounds are still pretty fresh to alot of people regarding that terrible day! (It also proves that she was NOT referring to him being a terror to everyone in the house!) Didn't she also call someone 'white trash' last night as well??
