Her Twitter "fans" keep saying her comments are being taken out of context

I sure hope they don't show it. I am so tired of the racism/bigotry angle now.

It isn't an angle. That is the reality of the house. Why shouldn't they show what actually goes on in the house? Is this not a reality game show? This is the reality.
If Amanda is being nominated by America because of these comments - show them. If Amanda is evicted because houseguests are sick of her bigotry - show it. I don't believe either is true, so they really shouldn't bother. It is so boring! :yawn: |

Not quite! They show us roughly 3/168 hours a week. That is NOT reality. The LIVE FEEDS are the reality side of Big Brother. Everything on the hourly shows is just an angle. A racist comment might just beat out a meaningful conversation about family, a light-hearted joke or even a brewing plot to evict another houseguest - but should it? These are ALL angles - and BBUSA have always put the 'game' at the forefront. That is the show they are trying to create and it should continue to do so.

I agree, it's not an 'angle'. Disgraceful behaviour shouldn't be airbrushed out of the show.
A lot of the showmances are not really material to the show (or the elements of it that they show) but we're still force-fed it. |

@sjp07 I never said racism wasn't relevant, just that I hope they don't show anymore of it because yes I do find it boring. I'm not condemning them showing it, it just isn't the show I'm interested in, especially given they CLEARLY cannot handle the issue correctly.
1. They failed to show the bigotry until it was picked up by the news. 2. Aaryn has been unfairly scapegoated. She might be the worst offender, but it now feels from the main show she is the only offender. If they are going to show Amanda - show every single derogatory comment ever said by any houseguest. They should have done this from the start if it was SO important to air their prejudices. Again, Live Feed - Reality Highlights Show - Edited It doesn't matter what content they show in those three hours a week, it will never be balanced. I'd sooner prefer they don't show it at all. @pondie84 I agree that "Disgraceful behaviour shouldn't be airbrushed out of the show", but it has been. That is an angle. |

I noticed when she was making some comments that McCrae was telling her off a few times and she wasn't listening. I wonder if the engagement will be off soon?

She is such a vile and nasty human being why people like her is beyond me.

I don't like any of the racism in this house. However, when she was talking about Jessie and rape, that was beyond disgusting. There is NO context in which rape is funny. Amanda has crossed the line, and I suspect she is given good edits because of her relationship with Allison Grodner, the show's producer. This has been the worst season of BB. Apparently CBS has no problem with house guests endorsing the use of the N word, many defamatory names for females, blatant racism, homophobia, & rape.

Not sure why everyone is more upset about all the racial slurs, when she has mentioned slitting throats, punching people out, stabbing people and raping their limp bodies. I would be more scared of her actually becoming violent. She needs to be held accountable for ALL things said, not just racial remarks.
She wouldn't be the first or the last to speak theoretically about violence. If you're so concerned for the safety of the housemates, you could send them an email.
