No matter how big of "BB fans" some of the HGs claim to be, I have yet to see any of the HGs on any season, really understand how the live feeds work.

I think we all believed somehow these people would come out of the house and actually show remorse. We witnessed their character, morale code, and conduct for three months.... how could we possibly have expected they would take accountability for their actions. "Did I say anything?" Only every time you opened your mouth! "It was taken out of context".... context filled with badgering hate speech. Why did we allow ourselves to think they would show remorse?

There is no humor in it. I bet they will all laugh about it when all the uproar dies down and continue to think it's funny, but will just watch out when and where they say stuff like that. I was not brought up that way and would never even think of talking like that. My opinion of them is that they are not very nice people.

Too many threads and I don't know if this is the proper one. I may or may not like Dan's solution to the problem.

on Dan's solution...I am not sure how that would change much.
When you have people like McCrae in the House one would think
his awareness of the live-feeds would be something that made a
difference. How about a house full of regular online feeders who
know all the ins and outs of the game?

Wave, I love that idea and you would have to prove you are an on line feeder.

did you watch Kaitlin's interview with Jeff? She really got it, and was really sorry for her part in it, I think once they actually SEE the footage, they will realize how very bad they behaved.

From Aaryns tweets she really is NOT remorseful at all.
She is all about herself and when someone tweets her about her attitude she gives a snarky answer, not anything like- I am so very sorry for all the hateful things I said- nothing.
And not one Intervier held Andy responsible for any of the things he said about Elissa or even the racist remark about Helen - all the c words and the threatening to kill her or punch her inmthe face and throat- what? Is Andy off limits because he is the winner?

Interesting that Julie thinks Elissa got FF because of Brenchel's army/ I do not think that at all! I voted for Elissa for things to do with her and never even followed what Rachel was up to. Though I did root for Rachel in her second time in the house I did not care for her in the firs time. I am surprised Julie did not have her finger on the pulse of went on with that vote.

Update on Spencer, excerpted from a new article on Today.com --
As for Clawson, the Union Pacific conductor who inspired statements from his employer distancing the company from his misogynistic and homophobic comments and a police investigation following a joke about child pornography, the status of his job is uncertain.
On Wednesday, the railroad company issued yet another statement.
"Prior to Spencer Clawson being allowed to return from his Leave of Absence to active duty with Union Pacific Railroad, a formal investigation will be held under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement to determine the facts involving Mr. Clawson's behavior on the 'Big Brother' television show and online live feed," the statement read. "Based on the results of the investigation, Union Pacific will determine the appropriate action regarding Mr. Clawson's employment status."
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Clawson apologized for his "boneheaded" comments and "bad jokes." He also expressed his hope for continuing his railroad career.
"I believe, from my understanding, that the union is fighting to preserve my job, but at this time, I understand the railroad is trying to keep some distance from me," he said. "I find that very unfortunate. I love my job; I'm really good at it. I do hope I can get back up there and just get back to work and return to some normalcy here soon."

I don't believe this to be true at all!! Pfffft
Why do you think America gave Elissa the $25,000? I think because there are a lot of Rachel Reilly fans, and Rachel rallied her fans to get behind the Elissa vote.

I couldnt stand Rachel when she was on Big brother, couldnt stand her whining in Amazing race and If I heard the phrase one more time of nobody comes between me and my man, I would jump off the brooklyn bridge. BUT, I voted for Elissa DESPITE the Rachel connection, just sayin.

Wil's you tube was pretty funny, I think he was enjoying bouncing his "Amanda" boobs, LOL.
Don't forget the only ones who really know what is going on right now are the first five kicked out. The others have not had time to watch the shows or any of the info out on the net.

I don't believe Elissa won FF because of Rachel's fans. Personally, I didn't care for Rachel. Elissa was very likable and EARNED those votes on her own.

I guess Julie didn't watch the show or the feeds or she would know why Elissa won fan favorite and it had nothing to do with playing the best game or her sister.

Wil is so great. I wish CBS would find a permanent Big Brother role for him. I like Jeff but really how much vanilla can you take? Gimme Wil.

I tweeted Julie that many of us voted for Eloissa due to her game and her classy behavior and nothing to do with Rachel/Brenchel.
Edited to add- however for her I spelled Elissa right lol

I encourage you all to watch the AFterbuzz one- you have to let it prep for 30 minutes tough they may have fixed it....it does finally start and is well worth the wait. For one thing it so explains why Elissa would make those odd comments that would freak the others out and make them wary of her- as if she was a bit daft. She knew she couldn't say anything about the atrocious behavior, or she risked being a target. She was so appalled at much that was around her she would just blurt some nonsense remark.
I am also hoping , in the interest of fair critique of ALL of them, that she is gently informed that perhaps she was a bit offputting to the others in talking about her money and her many opportunities, leading them to feel she thought she was better than they were. I know she did not feel that way- in fact the more I hear her interviews the more I like her. SHe is a warm, genuine, caring,person, very down to earth and giving.
She really battled uphill all the way and when you really look at how disliked she was and how alone she was in that game it is amazing she made it to sixth place.

I listened to the afterbuzz interview above, and Elissa said that they are in the house for a few days before the live feeds start. And she said that the other houseguests acted far worse than they did when there were live feeds. She said Amanda walked around topless, they junped on the beds, and said horrible things. She said that from her first diaryroom visit she asked to leave. Elissa said that when the live feeds started they brought it down about 50%. Someone in this conversation said that Big Brother probably thought they had struck ratings gold.
IMO I am positive that is why CBS did not do anything about what was going on in the house and I would not be surprised if they might have encouraged it.
If you haven't listened to it or watched it please do. The video takes a loooong time to load up. But the little dealy bob under the video you can listen to the whole interview and that is just as good.
