Wow, this podcast is hard to listen to at times just because of how unbelievable America's situation is and everything extraneous that she has to put up with. Shit like this is why I like Big Brother live feeds, though--if there were no live feeds this whole situation would be swept completely under the rug. I'm actually thankful in a weird way that this is happening on Big Brother because it's shedding light on a phenomenon that countless people, especially women, have had to suffer through in silence over the years. Wishing America all the strength and resolve I can.
Not being ejected for using a slur. Not being called out for using production as a strategy. Blatant favoritism for a garbage person just because of his DNA
misogyny being the primary reason america could go home this week makes me not want to ever apply to play this game, especially considering the lengths production is going to hide it. i know it’s nothing new in the history of BB, but it’s so obvious in a 2023 setting : / also taran deserves an emmy for the cameron & red breakup. it’s even funny on 1.5 playback speed lmaooo
The R word is absolutely a slur. I work with developmentally disabled adults and it’s 100% a slur. The fact that Jared did not get any sort of punishment tells us everything we need to know about production and Cirie/Jared.
Jared is also a bit of a narcissist so I’m more certain that in the dr he’s convinced production and the viewers love him and they want to drop hints to protect him and his mom and that’s why he’s convinced they want America out. At best it’s sloppy and worst is disgusting favoritism to keep him and cirie in the house given America is the only one willing to target them
Honestly Izzy comes across as a fake feminist. She's feminist when it's a hypothetical woman in a hypothetical situation, but the second it's ACTUALLY happening to a woman she knows (by a man she already thinks is creepy and doesn't like!), oh well she smiles a lot and she gossips. I remember her making comments about Reilly "not being that pretty" in response to somebody else calling her pretty too. I just hope when Izzy, Jared, Cameron, Red leave the house they are grilled about these comments.
Slurs of all kinds are harmful. NOT all southern country boys are rude, woman hating people. My late husband was a good ole' southern country boy and he was very respectful to me and taught our four sons to be polite and respectful to their women folk and they have taught my grandsons to also be respectful and caring loving people to women. So just remember NOT all southern country males are like Cam and Red. They are VERY poor examples of how the south raise their country boys/men!!!
Can we all just agree that this has got to be the worst group of houseguests from a strategic standpoint? They may be entertaining be a use they’re all so messy but it’s just getting exhausting at this point. These live feed updates are more entertaining than the show itself
Whilst we should be incredibly clear that we cannot equate the n word to other slurs due to the extensive and specific history of the word and its proximity to slavery, we should also acknowledge that ableist slurs (or indeed misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic etc slurs) are part of the same systems of bigotry, and not actioning this inevitably sends a message that certain bigotry (and the language associated with it) is more acceptable. The long and short of it - the ableist slur isnt the same as the racial slur, but both are gross and both should be actioned. Great podcast both as always
Very nicely said. I would also say that calling someone a misogynist etc can be considered a slur if they are not one. These words are thrown around far too frequently today. That said, Cam definitely is one of those. Also, my daughter has autism. Both Jared and Cam can go.
Kirsten saying "I can't believe we're still here." I so agree with that. We come into each season with high hopes, thinking that casting MUST have gotten it right this time. Based on the personalities in the house, I would think that would have been hard to hide from the casting process. It's so ugly and nauseating. These people should not have any kind of platform. Many are awful humans. I try every year to watch the show and can never get beyond the first episode when the truth starts coming out. I enjoy listening to Taran and company though. And the advantage with mother and son takes so much fun out of the game, for me.
Thank you Taran and Kirsten for talking about how unacceptable the r word is!!!! I saw way too many people defend it and argue that the live feeds will go away because people are too sensitive.
What slur? Edit: I looked it up and it said “R-word”, so then I had to look up what that meant. 🤷🏾♀️ That word was used normally when I was growing up, so I think a lot of people don’t feel any sort of way about it depending on how it’s used. If I (a 90s kid) didn’t know what R-word meant, than I think that word is still transitioning out. I could be wrong though. I’m not on Twitter/X or TikTok or Reddit and stuff so who knows what people talk about there.
My question is, if Cory, America or Matt used the slur would everyone be so quick to want them expelled? Jared is hated by 90% of viewers so of course they are screaming for his expulsion.
Thank goodness you can interperate the live feeds for me. Otherwise, I would be numb from trying to keep up with all the promises (i.e. lies) on the table!
If reilly or bowie would have called matt the r word would something have been done? Because its jared calling america that word its ok. Theres no way they are going to eject jared. Luke was a dud from jump so no loss there. Jared is no cirie thats for sure. Jared is problematic mysoginistic and a total imbecile. He has no clue how to smooszch people and win people over the way cirie does. No one dislikes cirie. In fact everyone still trusts her and wants to work with her. Even tho they know her and her history and reputation. If they evict jag after convincing matt to waste his power to save him i guarantee matt wont be pi$$ed. I think ciries mist has far outmisted dans. But thats ok. Its about time we get some knew legends in bb.
I think Jag will be the re-nom… Jag will be another Kayser of coming back & then Voted the next wk… The smart thing for them to do will is to vote Red out which was the first plan… Cam & Red will make up…😮 But, this house Always flip flops Every wk…🙄🫣
Watched BB every year. Decided not to watch this year. Turned it on Sept 3rd and realized I made the right decision and turned it off. The most unpleasant group to look at or listen to. Sadly, it represents the look of our society.
love that these updates have better storytelling better editing better production and better acting than the actual show
The dramatic re-enactment of "the chillers" breakup set to that piano music fully took me out 🤣🤣😭 Taran, you deserve an oscar lol
Jared is truly hard to listen to.

also taran deserves an emmy for the cameron & red breakup. it’s even funny on 1.5 playback speed lmaooo
The thing about aliences....is that you need to win comps. That's why they shouldn't have gotten rid of the Doc H so soon.

The music during the Cameron and Red convo is peak Taran. So good
I hope Jared goes home next week!!!
Misogyny has been running rampant all season long
Jared is also a bit of a narcissist so I’m more certain that in the dr he’s convinced production and the viewers love him and they want to drop hints to protect him and his mom and that’s why he’s convinced they want America out.

The hillbilly breakup is too much 😂😂 “why can’t I quit you” Kirsten 😂😂😂😂😂

Awe Kirsten and Taran , I remeber the bb22 update when Day won the tiny vet and we all were living our best life, but look how times have change 😂
I actually got to witness the convo between red and cam live and you captured it perfectly LMAO very dramatic 😂
Exactly! Slurs are part of one's vocabulary. Luke got ejected and Jared needs to go!
Remember if you are taping tonites episode, there are football 🏈 games today, so BB may be delayed. Set up recordings accordingly.

Both Jared and Cam can go.
What did Julie say live?? I’m so curious it must have deleted from my brain.
Kirsten with the brokeback mountain reference during the chillers breakup lmao

Preach it.
Now it's ok to use a slur???? Jared needs to go... end of story. CBS better start stepping up in this.
Excellent update as usual. But I don't think I've every seen Kristen roll her eyes more in an update. And I LOVE it!!😅😅
Thank you Taran and Kirsten for talking about how unacceptable the r word is!!!! I saw way too many people defend it and argue that the live feeds will go away because people are too sensitive.
The Chillers breakup reenactment is Taran's magnum opus
Curious. What slur did Julie use on Live TV?
Love to see an america/cirie connection.
"Behind the times"! I knew the R word was not a nice word since I was a little girl. I'm almost 59. (Using my husband's yt acct) Jean.
What slur?
Edit: I looked it up and it said “R-word”, so then I had to look up what that meant. 🤷🏾♀️

Thank you for speaking up against using the r word. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It is absolutely unacceptable.

Thank goodness you can interperate the live feeds for me. Otherwise, I would be numb from trying to keep up with all the promises (i.e. lies) on the table!
Why can’t we have nice things? Okay the music bit was very nice 😂😂
If reilly or bowie would have called matt the r word would something have been done? Because its jared calling america that word its ok. Theres no way they are going to eject jared. Luke was a dud from jump so no loss there. Jared is no cirie thats for sure. Jared is problematic mysoginistic and a total imbecile.

Even tho they know her and her history and reputation. If they evict jag after convincing matt to waste his power to save him i guarantee matt wont be
pi$$ed. I think ciries mist has far outmisted dans. But thats ok. Its about time we get some knew legends in bb.
So funny! The music!!!
He should have been ejected from the game. Period.
Like when Kyland put Claire on the block in BB23 in order to earn trust w her by using the veto on her
I think Jag will be the re-nom… Jag will be another Kayser of coming back & then Voted the next wk… The smart thing for them to do will is to vote Red out which was the first plan… Cam & Red will make up…😮 But, this house Always flip flops Every wk…🙄🫣
Jared is such a wimp, doesn't wanna make an enemy of the only spectator in the game
I have a much better understanding now as to why BBCAN cut feeds, and I expect BBUS will follow suit.
oh and there is always how they dress, certainly they want it or wouldn't dress like that! such crap for 2023! yes, we are still here.
Watched BB every year. Decided not to watch this year. Turned it on Sept 3rd and realized I made the right decision and turned it off. The most unpleasant group to look at or listen to. Sadly, it represents the look of our society.
BB stop protecting Cameron please
Always enjoy Kirsten as a co-host! Still salty that my vote for her for BBCan didn’t help 🫠
