A lot of people were mad at production in general, for not telling the hm's, and not telling him to stop saying it.

Like last season, BB6 had some blatant racism that was buried in the live feeds and didn't make it into the highlights, but did get coverage in the paper and had career repercussions for the person responsible.”

That first point is a really dramatic interpretation of something that wasn't a big deal and won't affect your viewing of BB6 at all, fyi.

And I'm assuming that second point is in reference to Ivette because everyone ignores when Janelle called Jennifer a dirty Mexican.

I also didn't know about the Katrina thing, because on BB2 they told Monica about 9/11 and how her cousin was missing. I guess since all of the housemates families were accounted for during Katrina they didn't bother telling them. I can't remember if on BBUK they were told about 7/7?”

I'm going to hazard a guess at Ivette against Kaysar.

Maggie, who went on a rant about the patients she treated, focusing on color and income. Ivette had an anti-Muslim rant, too, which was just a massive facepalm moment since Kaysar was in the house.

Monica was another reason people were mad they weren't told about Katrina. It was only fair if they could tell Monica they could tell whichever one it was (half that house was from the gulf region, I don't remember which had family in the path).

Oh yes I remember hearing about all of what Maggie said about the hospital, weren't some of her stories like medical malpractice on her part.

They were such a hideous alliance, so pious and self righteous, the only one I didn't mind was April.
