Now that they have them all worked up and they have a few beers in them, it’s time for “Hot Topics”. Once again, I must apologize, I didn’t get the choices ORI gave us to vote on for which current event we wanted the contestants to discuss. After 4+ hours of watching Glass House, I had stopped taking notes. The viewers picked “The death of Rodney King at age 47″. ORI gave them the details of the event and then it was open for discussion.

It wasn’t long before the conversation turned to the racial issues of the times and how things really haven’t changed all that much. This was pointed out by Jeffrey. He seemed to think that no matter how much education there is, it’s still a part of our lives. Hollywood stated that he’s been stopped by police over 300 times since he’s had his license. He’s never gotten a ticket though. That alone says something. He and his friend would go out on the weekend and he could always depend on being stopped, not once, but twice every single weekend. Mike chimes in, talking about how cops get away with these things because there is no way to stop them from doing it. One of the girls. I think it was Ashley, says cops are getting caught only because they aren’t aware of these security cameras mounted in places they aren’t expecting them to be. All the while the GH camera keeps going back to Kevin. He just keeps bouncing that ball, not saying a word. The cop talk and race talk keep going and that camera keeps zooming in on Kevin. Finally Erica asks Kevin what training he’s had to prevent racial profiling. DAMN! Now he’s gotta say something…..

Listen up people! I don’t know what they do anywhere else, but where I work, we don’t do things that way. I try really hard not to be that kind of cop. I really do. I take my job very seriously. Let me tell you about this one guy I pulled over. He had expired plates, a cracked windshield, he was swerving all over the road, so I pulled him over. The first thing out of his mouth was, “You pulled me over because I’m Black!” I said “Dude, your plates are expired!” Erica jumped in and said that isn’t what she meant, she wanted to know what they were doing to stop the racial profiling thing. He then explained that every race has a number now, so they can keep track on the database just how many of each race gets pulled over and why. Whites are 23, Blacks are 11, Hispanics are some other number… you get the idea. It’s a start, he says. He says there are a lot of really good cops in his district, but it only takes one to make them all look bad.

Robin and Erica get into a disagreement that I didn’t catch, just as ORI decides that the viewers should vote to change the subject. The choices are something about Obama and immigration or a dog-friendly beer. This is when Robin gets up and leaves the room. Kevin follows her. Mike is next to go. Shockingly the cameras follow too!!! Too bad the hour is almost up and feeds are going to end. Robin tells Kevin that she made a promise to herself, that if she found herself in a situation that might turn into an argument, that she would just walk away. That is what she did tonight. She felt that Erica has had too much to drink and it wasn’t worth an argument with her. It was simply a difference of opinion.

Kevin was feeling ambushed by the Rodney King thing. He felt “set-up” by the question. He thinks that the producers were looking to start some drama in the house now that Alex and Jacob are gone. Combining racism with beer, knowing his job, was a good way to do it, in his opinion. Mike and Jeffrey joined them in the bedroom and they agreed that the discussion was handled in an adult way and everyone  was able to express themselves without anyone getting angry or upset. I agree. I thought it was a really great conversation and the BEST part of the whole night. Too bad I had to sit through four and half hours of “what’s your favorite color?” bullshit to get there.

    I feel for you Chooch, I really do. This show sounds so fucking lame, just a ripoff of the Big Brother format with just enough lame twists to make Big Brother sound like Masterpiece Theater. The whole “America gets to choose” angle is just plain stupid.

    For a good laugh, that asshat Alex’s intro/bio video is on youtube. What a douchebag. No. He’s the fluid that comes out after the douche. What’s that stuff called? It’s not santorum, but surely it has a name – palin?

    Oh, and I love Ethopian food. Especially because everyone eats with their hands. Hmm….come to think of it, I haven’t made any Ethopian food for a while now… mmmm…..

    You deserve a medal. A BIG ASS MEDAL. I missed the show, I think my DemonVR just refused to tape it. It makes those last couple of days in BB look down right ENJOYABLE. You know, when there’s only like 3 people left and they give them finger paints? I’d rather watch THAT any day!
    But I love you!!!

    I agree. Too much ‘audience participation.’ I understanding voting on the players in ‘limbo’, but voting on which cake you like best? Lame.

    @itchy: LOL @ “the fluid after douche.” I say, Alex is the fluid before the douche. Spooge. Just waiting to get flushed out.

    Know what I love about this show? Having Cooch recap and the awesome comments that follow! It makes me anxious for the Big Brother coverage on TVGasm (and the forums, of course)! Hope we get the forums in time cause BB won’t be the same without them…

    Chooch, what a sacrifice. Tell Flipit you deserve a raise for spending all that time watching this…this…this.

    Irish Mike hit a brain button. He reminded me of somebody, and that bothered me until I realized that he reminds me of the grandfather/douche on RPDR this past season. His name was Mike and he seems to be a fame whore, having been on another “reality” show. Can’t remember the name of the epi since we can no longer access old recaps (ahem, Flip). Does anybody recognize him?

    @SSC, it’s sadly not the same Mike. RPDR Mike was fatter and his face was better looking. They are similar though….couple of attention heauxs.

    This show just makes me all the more ready for BB.

    Alex looks like he should be lunching in a country club somewhere, not douching up my tv. He can go. Like someone said in the minicap…he’s not a villian! He’s just irritating and mean.

    I did watch yesterdays webcast – they spelled words and discussed “stay at home dads”.
    Luckily I didn’t have a razor blade or I would have cut myself.
    I hate Alex but now I am hoping he does come back just so I am not tempted to watch it again.

    No, Colton strategized and made alliances of teammates. Alex has no alliances in that house nor will he make any. He also lacks an immunity idol, lol.

    No one in the house seems to want Alex back, that’s for sure. His only friend was Jacob. From what I’ve read on-line, no one is voting him back into the house either.

    Can I say this…. I’m just SO happy to see all of my Big Brother friends posting. It’s been so long since we’ve been together. I feel like we’re having a BB reunion. The media is going to be allowed into the new BB14 house on Friday (June 22nd) so they can “play the game” for a day. This means right after that, there will be a flood of pictures and info of what the new decor looks like. I will get this info to you as fast as I can.

    Thanks, Chooch!! I’m looking forward to it. And if the forums aren’t up, we’ll still come out and hang on the main site. We’ll just keep the feed spoilers out of the first two sentences of our posts (as that appears on the front page) but we shouldn’t let it deter us. Who knows? it may even attract a bigger party of people who never thought to check the forums for cool happenings. All-in-all, I’m looking forward to BB even though watching/reading the feeds always makes me peckish. It’s something about watching people crunch, munch, and whisper that makes me grab the snacks! Weird, i know.. *hangs head*

    Hmm… who wants to bet CBS opened up their wallet for a few last-minute upgrades to the BB house?

    @itchy, did you see CBS’ passive aggressive press release? They said they are developing a new show called Dancing ON the Stars as well as a new sitcom called Postmodern Family. Lol! They are bitter… No need, BB has the proven fan base, why feel threatened? ABC doesn’t have the Chenbot!
