Can we discuss the Big Brother BS?

This thing:

www.today.com/entertainment/big-brother-airs-contestants-racist-homophobic-remarks-6C10560772

Am I reading this right?  They have a few contestants that have dropped a slew of absolutely abhorrent comments regarding their fellow contestants' race, sexual orientation, etc.?  And they are still on the show?

And people still watch this show?

Make me understand.  What is it I am wrong about?

I think you are right about everything. It's a big fail on the part of CBS.

I haven't followed this in any great detail, but my take is that they are losing viewers and as such, this is all planned drama specifically to get people watching it/ interested in it.

The article mentions the word "subscribers" to the live feed. Do people pay to watch the live feed?? Weird.

People can pay to watch the live feed from the house 24/7, but I guess CBS broadcast some of the comments in last night's episode. I've watched this show for years (I know) but they have now lost me. This group of people is disgusting, and CBS is using it for ratings.

We talked about this the other day...I will try to find the thread (although I was unsuccessful yesterday when I tried to search for something).

Yes, this is a major component to the show.  The stuff they show on TV isn´t half of what goes on, and really, it´s a completely different game.

The only reason I am continuing to tune in is to see those assholes - Aryan, especially - go down in flames.
