BIG BROTHER CONTROVERSIES: Racism, 'assault,' homophobia engulfs Canada's no. 1 show!

Article content

Canada’s number-one TV series is once again making headlines.

And not because of contestants’ gameplay.

On Big Brother’s 24/7 online feed, houseguests Angela and Rachel used the term “ghetto” when referring to tanning and their skin color.

“My stomach is as dark as Bay,” said Rachel, comparing her tan to black roommate Bayleigh. “I’m looking ghetto here with the skin coloration,” Angela responded.

Meanwhile, popular houseguest JC touched the genitalia of surfer Tyler, who didn’t complain.

JC later ran around the house with an ice cream scooper, inappropriately touching the genitals of several of the female players, who also didn’t have an issue with the behaviour.

Also, housemates Brett accidentally called Swaggy C, ‘F**gy C,’ by accident before catching himself.

Swaggy is in a showmance with Bayleigh.

This isn’t the first the CBS/Global reality series, celebrating its 20^th season this year, made news: On season 14, Willie Hantz was eliminated from the game after almost attacking another player.

That was also the season where several contestants uttered homophobic and racist comments.

Most of them lost their jobs as a result and were attacked by the public on social media when they left the game.

CBS says they have spoken to the guests to stop the behaviour and reminded them they are being watched 24/7. The network has no plans to air the footage during their airshows but some fans want them to.
