How do we know this end game sucks and is way to long??

We basically had 2 straight recap shows as basically the entire show this evening was a flashback of Azah, Xavier and Big Delusional's game play. And we still have a 2 hour episode on Wednesday!!! What the hell can they possibly put in there to fill in the 2 hour time slot?? 75 minutes worth of commercials?? No reason the season finale shouldn't or couldn't have been tonight.

They dropped from 8-4 in less time then they'll go from 4 to the winner. Why they stretch out the end game so much I have no idea, but hope they change it back up next year. Bring back the short weeks in the final 4 and final 5 that we had in seasons 14, 15, 16, 17, etc.

Ohh please, your post is ridiculous. So you just said the backlash for the racist behavior of only blacks allowed in the group is the motivation to continue the racist behavior.

Answer this, had every white member publicly announced an alliance of just white players, you would you be okay with that? You don’t think their would be a huge backlash and some sort of action taken by CBS?

Has the game been won by white houseguests in past seasons?

If you can't see the difference between the two scenarios you've projected here (also btw most seasons have featured an all-white alliance dominating the house and taking it a step further and ostracizing/antagonizing "the others"...which while the others were not exclusively minorities; the lines had still been drawn)...that's on you. And again...speaks to the whole reason why the cookout came to be in the first place.

The white "victim" contestants who were voted out have largely spoken in support of the cookout mission. The rage is coming from....elsewhere.

Were you this upset when white contestants had been caught on video making blatantly racist comments while in the house?

Has nothing to do with my post, but yes sure it has. The game has also been won by non-whites.

No season has ever had an all white cast members join an alliance formed based on race. No season has all white members “targeted” others based on race.

The act of forming an alliance based on race and excluding others solely based on race is racist and what a handful think doesn’t change that fact. Besides, in this climate no doubt several probably are afraid of being labeled as racist if they speak out.

All forms of racism upsets me. Cast members have previously been called out for past racist comments by other cast members. On a few occasions, producers have intervened and dealt with the incidents.

As I said before CBS is pushing this! I can't say much more or my post will be deleted like it was on the Survivor thread.

The fact that a black hasn't won is not about racism but about character and game play. Add to that the fact that CBS has picked blacks and minorities that represent stereotypes.

Let's look at the Blacks on Big Brother - when they were evicted and why

Season 1 - William Collins (politician) intentionally failed his portion of the challenge, upsetting many HouseGuests as they bet 20% of their weekly budget believing they would complete the task. William became the first HouseGuest to be banished from the house when he received 73% of the public vote. Not a race issue - the guy cost them food. The public didn't like his game play.
Cassandra Waldon (UN Communications Director) - Cassandra became the fifth HouseGuest to be banished from the house as she had received 46% of the public vote. Again not a race issue - 3 whites were evicted before her.

Season 2 - Monica Bailey (Candy Store Manager) made it all the way to F3

Autumn Daly - constantly complaining about living in the house and others found her annoying - evicted 3rd.

Season 3 - Danielle Reyes - made it to F2 - the reason Danielle didn't win is she was one of the 3 houseguests that accepted money in a luxury competition where the other houseguests lost a phone call from home.

Marcellus Reynolds - made it to top 5 - Marcellus was evicted because he was stupid and didn't use the power of veto on himself. He was sitting next to Amy whose friend was Jason - the HOH who made the deciding vote as there was a tie.

I've got things to do but would be happy to come back later and go through more seasons and show you why each and every black was evicted - and how it wasn't because of racism.

My recollection of Season 3 was that Danielle lost because the jury got to go home and watch her private conversations on TV and in the live feeds, so they knew more than what she was revealing to them in person. After that season, jury members went into sequester and only got to see recordings of competitions and ceremonies, and otherwise only knew what they experienced or what other jury members told them.

Could be Dave - it's been a long time and I could be forgetting things - regardless it had nothing to do with racism.

Xray how the hell do you remember any of their names much less the percentage of public vote they received?

I couldn't even tell you the names of this year's evicted house guests, let alone any previous year. Wow!

Well this season show is over now. Fairly predictable ending. The announcement of a Celebrity edition of BB in January I'm not looking forward to nor planning to watch.
