'Big Brother' Net feeds turn vile
The "Big Brother 4" reality show sunk to new lows with two of the finalists making racial remarks and verbally attacking another player's young daughter on the live 24/7 Internet feeds.
Alison Irwin, the 22-year-old retail salesperson from Pittsburgh, and Jun Song, the 27-year-old investment manager from New York, infamous for their persistent personal attacks on the other HouseGuests, ranted on the other finalist, Robert Roman - the 33-year-old former restaurant manager from California - last night.
Enraged over Roman trying to split their alliance up by pitting one against the other, Alison and Jun went on a verbal tirade against him as they exercised alone in the backyard. Robert was inside the house and out of earshot.
"I want to put my fist through his face," said Alison as she jogged with some weights.
Jun threatened to destroy a present Robert had made for his young daughter.
"That bitch is never going to see it," said Jun. "Elena's butterfly? I'm sorry that bitch can forget about that f---ing butterfly. I'll tear that s--t apart."
Robert has won all of the America's Choice competitions voted on by this year's viewers and has received a phone call and letters from his daughter as prizes.
Still seething over Robert's manipulations, Jun leveled personal attacks against Robert's Cuban heritage and his family.
"His father should've stayed in Cuba. His family is like...No speaky English," Jun said to Alison. They both agreed to send Robert "back on a boat to Cuba" during this week's live eviction vote.
"I vote to evict your sorry motherf---ing Cuban ass out," said Alison of how she wants to humiliate Robert on the live broadcast Wednesday night.
This is not the first time Jun and Alison have directed racial remarks towards the former restaurant manager. A few nights ago, Alison called Robert a "Cuban faggot" when she alerted him of a producer's request that he go to the Diary Room, a private confessional room in the 'Big Brother' house.
CBS has not aired any of Jun or Alison's past off-colour remarks on the "Big Brother 4" television series.
Disgusted by the constant barrage of insults, Internet fans flooded various forums and message boards devoted to the reality show series with their sense of outrage and disappointment.
The season finale of "Big Brother 4" airs on September 24th on CBS.

Second 'Big Brother 4' competition ends on Net
It seems it is all over except for the voting and the gloating.
With the second part of Big Brother Four's final Head of Household Competition over and done with, it seems assured that Alison Irwin, the 22-year-old retail salesperson, and Jun Song, the 27-year-old investment manager, will be this year's finalists...much to the chagrin of some fans who loathe the two for their incessant verbal sniping of the other HouseGuests.
On the 24/7 'Big Brother 4' live Internet feeds Sunday afternoon, viewers learned that Jun (Song) beat Robert Roman, the 33-year-old former restaurant manager and the last member of The Three Stooges Alliance, in the second portion of the three part HOH Competition. While feed watchers didn't actually see the competition take place due to the usual "black out" enforced by the producers, the aftermath confirmed the results which will not air until on the television series for two or three days from now.
In the kitchen following the competition, Jun (Song) and Alison (Irwin) celebrated Jun's win with an enthusiastic hug as a clearly dejected Robert (Roman) went outside to clean the pool. "I got it. I killed him," said Jun (Song) as she set about making lunch. "He didn't even finish and he got some wrong."
"He was so broken-hearted. That's what he gets for being so cocky. That little bitch," continued Jun (Song). "He was going to do it for his friends, family and fans? F--k you, bitch."
"Sorry America. We just shot your pretty boy out of the sky," said Alison (Irwin) to the Internet viewers who can watch them live 24/7 in the 'Big Brother' house on the CBS studio lot in California. The house is outfitted with 38 cameras and 62 microphones which record the happenings for the television series and broadcast them live to the Internet.
"That's right. That stupid f-----g bitch," said Jun (Song) in agreement. Though an angry Roman had previously made sexist comments in the house calling some of the women "bitches", "whores" and "sluts" behind their backs, he has won all of the America's Choice competitions voted on by the viewers. On a live Internet chat held on Saturday, Roman apologized for his comments and promised to set aside some of the prize money, if he was lucky enough to win it, for his young daughter who has been featured on the series.
Sequestered in a beach-side house at an unknown location, the 'Big Brother 4' jury comprised of the last six evicted HouseGuests awaits the last player evicted from the game and to vote on the winner during the season finale. Since most members of the jury have expressed a strong dislike for Alison (Irwin) and the way in which she jumped from alliance to alliance in the game displaying no loyalty, it is highly likely that Jun (Song) will have enough votes to win the $500,000 grand prize even though she played the exact same way.
Immediately after the results were known, the majority of Internet fans expressed their displeasure for the series as a whole and the imminent outcome.
