"Big Brother 10"'s Steven: A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, spitting tobacco (SPOILER)

My first thought on reading this is just because someone is gay doesn't mean they lack the same prejudices that exists in the rest of society. The gay community both individually and as a community is a reflection of the greater society.

I have not watched any of this show, but from all reports Big Brother really is exposing straight audiences to a wide variety of gay personalities.  They are not all the well dressed and high culture urban gays you see on TV.  They can be just as sexist, racist, or stupid as any straight guy.

All that being said, watching the above clip really made me feel sad for Steven.  I know his life has been more blessed than most people around the world, but how could someone have so little memory of their childhood.  I can remember every single one of my teachers from pre-school on.  I can remember birthdays and other holidays, and have a pretty good memory of my life for almost every year I have been alive. 

Steven's memory loss reminds me of a plot line out of Desperate Housewives.  Maybe his parents killed the real Steven and adopted him from a Ukrainian orphanage...or maybe the whole thing is an act to gain sympathy.  Whatever.

I did not read the full post, but I wanted to remind some that it's been practice to place spoiler warnings when it comes to most of these types of posts. I think that it's particularly important when it's information that won't air to the vast majority of the audience until Sunday night when the show airs.

I don't want to sound like a _____ but it totally kills any suspense that the meat and potatoes of the show airs. Thanks in advance for my unedited frustration as I am sure that I could communicate the massage in a more constructive manner.

This website is consistent on how it handles these issues as exemplified by big bold warnings in almost all results related recaps/bits. Your readers deserve the right to determine for themselves what constitutes a real "spoiler" and that allows you to write about almost anything that you are privy to without any worry. The best of all worlds.

Why even split hairs instead of learning and moving on as we've all been there? While totally irrelevant to the protocol, I totally disagree with the assertion that "the vast majority of fans will already know" this key element of this show. Is it on the official CBS web-site in any respect? I assert that if you were recapping Sunday's show for any site, your Monday entry would begin with a spoiler alert as to what you've already revealed here days before the official airdate.

And was that really an honest apology? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but there is no need for one as it was only intended as a heads up for now and the future so that all readers/contributors can be on an equal playing field.

 or dancing. The concept of the show attracts certain personalities. If not, the casting producers make sure of that. The more abrasive the personalities the more drama it will create for the show. Confining a group of different personalities in a control setting over 3 months can certainly do that. There's rarely any redeeming qualities among the houseguests under this circumstances.

but thank you for giving me "the benefit of the doubt".

Your condescending tone aside, you are absolutely right. I shouldn't have assumed that it wouldn't be regarded as a spoiler. This is my first time trying to navigate through the big brother show/internet jungle, and i forgot that a lot of people prefer to follow the action on tv, rather than online. From now on, i'll be sure to include the spoiler warning...and i do apologize again.. it was my mistake.

Not even the Bible, and he wants to start a Bible study group? Ok, I don't watch this crap, and I'm not going to start now, but I don't care how "sexy" a guy is, if they don't read, that's a total deal-breaker. No wonder he's a moron.

I was aware of most of this already, but stunned on the "never read a book" thing.

 

Sadly, the bigoted comments from a gay man don't surprise me one bit, having witnessed some truly eye-popping examples of this first hand over the years.

I never thought this show would make it this far, I didn't think anyone actually watched it.

The only thing I can say about the show is, while the first season was mildly interesting with vastly different house guests from various walks of life, the show turned into the Real World-like casting practices of only picking pretty people 99% of the time, from people who are usually wannabe models and actors just looking to get on tv.

I don't think we'll find any positive gay reinforcement from this show, just like I don't think there's much in the way of any positive societal reinforcement from any other group on the show. You have a house full reality-camera-whores, what do you expect?
