If they air it unedited they're just opening the floodgates to more 'BUT YOU CENSORED THE N WORD????'

To me it implied that the words carry the same weight and same history as the N word, which they don't at all. That was my main issue with the edit tbh.

I totally understand, I just think as a business CBS were trying to cover their asses which is inevitable really

I don't approve of censorship anywhere in the media anyway so I'd have aired them both personally, the conversation would've felt a lot more raw and impactful too

Food for thought: CBS censored midget but not micropenis.

Captain.Remy 23-07-2018 05:29 AM

Well CBS didn't really have any other choice did they? They had to air the whole thing.
Back to the game, Sam really came out of nowhere with this I feel like? OK she doesn't like them but those reasons were harsh. She could have said "Kaitlyn you're crazy af and Haileigh you're useless" or something.

Sam doesn't understand the game, first she thought it would be great to be HoH even though one of them may come back, and then she didn't want to discuss nominations like her mind was set whatever, and then she makes it personal.

I find the problem with discrimination and abuse is that people tend to think it only affects a few kinds of people (such as around 'race' or gender or sexuality), and that it mainly only affects their own kind. That's obviously not the case at all, and that's where some kind of hypocrisy can sometimes be evident. Bayleigh focused on how she could end up screaming over such issues because of her own particular experiences, but she wasn't aware of how other people can also have their own experiences of different kinds of abuse.

What weight words may carry can depend on an individual person's experiences, just as some discrimination has been given more focus doesn't mean others have to be thought less. Abuse to anyone just based on appearances or tabloid prejudices is wrong and yet it's allowed in many cases.

most people: “If you jump now, I promise I won’t put you up”

sam: “****ING JUMP DOWN NOW TYLER!”

:laugh:

Matthew. 23-07-2018 10:36 AM

so sweet that the board said “Happy 10th Birthday Aradia <3 Mom”

Matthew. 23-07-2018 10:39 AM

Sam is such a scream

“Nobody is allowed in my HoH room, Nobody is allowed to campaign”

Was a great episode and they had to spoil it by ramming 15 mins to Bay/JC discussion.

I think they did it at the end to make Sam's slut shaming look tame in comparison

Headie 23-07-2018 12:15 PM



Couldn't have put it better myself :clap1:

starry 23-07-2018 12:59 PM

Bayleigh latched onto Swaggy C immediately (which I thought was a very limited and predictable move) and would have still been doing that had Kaitlyn not broke them up.

Yeah but I dont think it showed Bayleigh in a good way tbh, she wasent really listening to JC when he was trying to put his points across. She needs to tone it down; she has potential to do well but her emotions will get the better of her sooner.or later. Its quite annoying on feeds atm as she keeps crying that no one is respecting her and just thinks she is the "black aggressive woman", when in fact no one thinks this, is anything she probably has one of the better social games. I think if she could find a better ally than Rockstar or Faysal she might do better.

Vladimir 23-07-2018 01:50 PM

Another good episode.

Rockstar's slayage continues :love:

Wow Sam doesn't hide jealousy very well. What a messy speech.

LemonJam 23-07-2018 01:52 PM

In regards to the JC/Bayleigh situation I was team Bayleigh as she was (albeit ignorantly) asking a question whereas JC said a word that he knows he shouldn't say, but once Bayleigh started dropping ********t her argument lost traction and neither of them seemed to be listening to each other. Neither of them really came out looking good tbh.

Sam though, I have done a total 360 on. That speech was horrifyingly bad and her behaviour this whole week has been really eye opening.

Brett ****ing sucks, but that's pretty much bible. If he actually argued back rather than sheepishly walking away and congratulating himself in the diary room I could see the appeal but... I don't.

Rockstar though alol mess :love:

This season is really great though!

JerseyWins 23-07-2018 05:10 PM

Btw why is no one (that I know of) talking about when JC said "like gay & *********" and Bayleigh said something like "oh so like another word for it"? :skull:

I think Brett/Rockstar should be on the Amazing Race.

JerseyWins 26-07-2018 12:02 AM

Omg Angie shut upppp I can't even take it on the previews :joker:

Macie Lightfoot 26-07-2018 12:04 AM

Macie Lightfoot 26-07-2018 12:05 AM

Headie 26-07-2018 12:07 AM

Sam's power trip is too much

JerseyWins 26-07-2018 12:08 AM
