Big Brother” and the no good, terrible, horrible, very bad housemates (including our Amanda)
by Leslie Gray Streeter
Sigh.
My sister and I joke that if we
ever lost our minds enough to apply for one of those “trapped in a
house/on an island”reality shows, we’d spend all of our time trying to
get voted off, because after the initial novel thrill wears off, you’re
stuck in a house with people who are, for the most part, horrible,
posturing, fake masters of fakery. It’s stressful, annoying and
something I can’t imagine signing on for, no matter how much money is
potentially thrown at you. If you engage, you become part of the drama,
and apparently something in the air in those tight quarters makes you
forget that people with the power to fire or hire you, to admit you into
schools or societies or programs, are watching.
"It sounds to me that her sister is beyond herself about how her sister is acting how sad.. I can only imagine what they are really feeling at times if they are not happy with there own sister and or daughter"...
And they no like the crazy. Just ask “Big
Brother”‘s Aaryn and GinaMarie, who will leave the CBS show at some
point to find themselves a little less employed than they were when they
got on the show, because of crazy racist and homophobic things they
said on a show that records everything you say. Actually, almost all of
the housemates seem to suck this year, with bigotry or whining or lying.
"I agree with her about GM and Aaryn when they leave the show they will find what they did was not good but will they learn from it is my question I doubt it at least thats what I think that GM and Aaryn will not learn from it at all. As far as I know or anyone else they could land a series on a tv show or there own on MTV as they don't play music videos anymore not like they use to now its all these shows worse than this seasons Big Brother with this group of young people jmo on that."
Yuckity.
Which brings me to Amanda Zuckerman. We wrote
about the Boca real estate agent when she first went into the house, and
initially I was a big fan. She was incredibly witty, droll and
observant, and her smackdown of mean girl Aaryn and Aaryn’s cluelessness
about the other houseguests’ opinions of her blithe bigotry was
delicious.
But.
Over the past few
weeks I’ve been getting emails and Tweets about our dear Amanda. And
they aren’t good. I haven’t watched a lot of the live feeds, because I
just haven’t, but I did get a clip someone sent me of some of the things
she’s said. A lot of it can be taken out of context, because it’s
edited, just like the CBS televised episodes are, and I will not comment
on some of the things that are alleged against her that I haven’t
witnessed. But apparently Amanda targeted Howard, one of the two black
contestants, in a way that some saw as racist, and that others saw as
jealous. I can’t say. I can say that she’s made comments, like
referencing taking “a Puerto Rican shower,” in a scene that I watched
all of, so I know that her comments were not taken out of context HERE.
And she swears these things are not racist.
And she swears these things are not racist.
Umm,
yeah they are. Just a clue – when you use the name of an ethnicity to
describe something negative, that is going to be taken badly. It just
is. And saying “That’s not racist” is silly, especially when you follow
it with “Well, Puerto Ricans are smelly…I’m joking!”
I am so sick of people saying that intention is
more important than impact. If you drive drunk and don’t mean to hit
someone, and you still do, you are guilty of hitting them all the same.
And when someone tells you “That’s very offensive to me” and you say “I
didn’t mean it to be…now let me say something else even MORE offensive,”
you’re still responsible for hurting someone’s feelings, and for being
offensive. Just claim it. Just say “I’ma say what I want and that’s me,”
and greet your detractors with open arms and eyes.
But to do that and then have the temerity to call other people out? Come on.
I want to like you, Amanda. I do. And I can’t imagine what being in that house does to your head. But that conversation, and the breathtakingly rude way you taunted Jessie about being all alone in the house? Nastiness. Nastiness.

So, I look forward to talking to you about this
when you come home, which I hope is soon, because you aren’t making
yourself look good. Snap out of it
