ANDERSON: The reality show "Big Brother" could have a big controversy on its hands. If you are not familiar with "Big Bother" it`s a show where eight people live in a house, and the cameras roll 24 hours a day. Well, one of the contestants, Amber, 27-year-old cocktail waitress from Vegas, must have forgotten that when she had a long discussion with one of her housemates about how she doesn`t like Jewish people. And she is not too fond of New Yorkers, either. The footage hasn`t made it on to the show, but it is all over the Internet. Take a look at this.

AMBER: People from New York are all (BLEEP) up, everybody I know, the majority of the people I know from New York, and Jewish, the majority of Jewish people I know, my gosh, so money hungry and so selfish.
Even my sister always tells me she`s like, my mom, my sister, always, we`ll meet somebody and I`ll be like, I don`t really, I don`t know. I don`t get it, I don`t like that person. That person doesn`t seem like a very good person. And my sister always, my mom, know why? Why? They`re Jewish. I`m like how do you know? Amber, you can tell by the last name. Amber, you can tell by their nose. I`m like really? I`m like that`s so weird. (INAUDIBLE). I think Justin (ph) is Jewish though.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Uh-huh.
AMBER: I think he is.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He said he`s Christian.
AMBER: Yeah, but I said that about his nose, and he goes, that`s the Jewish side of me.

ANDERSON: Kind of makes you wonder what she says when she isn`t wearing a microphone, doesn`t it? Anyway, we called [CBS] to get a comment on what could blow up into a major controversy for the show. As of show time they did not respond. The Anti-Defamation League tells TMZ that CBS is facilitating anti-Semitism and should act responsibly to the community.
(Gah, the media knows nothing about the show. That was nearly as bad as the foxnews report. They always wear their microphones and Jameka is the unidentified female.)
