No toddler could be worse than some of the adults I've seen.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Toddlers do tend to categorize based on sample sizes of 1, and are not super-clear on causality or tact, and so it's not unheard of for a three year-old to state emphatically that "people with brown skin _____" (like apples, do not like peanut butter, play the piano, are allergic to milk, whatever) but I'm not sure that actually counts as racism unless you don't outgrow it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
BB is dealing with racism! Mostly by Aeryn, but I'm glad they are putting some of this shit on the air.
I don't know. It kind of felt to me like CBS chose the laziest most minimal way possible to respond to all the criticism they justifiably were getting. They laid it all on Aaryn, without making it clear it was much broader than that.
I did enjoy the scary clown comparisons though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Absolutely -- it was the least they could do. But I literally thought they might not address it at all. But I guess if everyone hates Aaryn now, they needed to explain that somehow, and her being a garbage person was it.
I didn't realize it was Beardy saying that maybe Hitler had some good ideas.

Julie Chen talks to TMZ: [link] First, I heart Julie Chen. Second, does no one realize that the dude next to her could cancel the whole thing and fire them all????

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I'm not a BB watcher. Does anyone in the house have any idea about the outside reactions? Cause until someone calls them on it, nothing is going to change. Even if someone in the house is offended, to stay in the game I can see that person not making waves.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
at least 2 of them have been fired, from what I read.

But do they KNOW that they have been fired from their outside jobs?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

My roommate texted me--apparently there's a second season of Breaking pointe coming in a couple weeks?? I'm crossing my fingers there's more dance drama and less personal drama.
