Big Brother Canada Season 8 has now OFFICIALLY followed in Survivor 39's footsteps and I am absolutely disgusted by this because it's 2020 and society should becoming better, not regressing! Maybe this stupid coronavirus is causing people to lose brain cells and forget neighborly behavior!
Jamar Lee was expelled from Big Brother Canada 8 today after he made hand motions and Vanessa Clemens claimed that she was 'uncomfortable.' Jamar meant nothing harmful by the hand motions or his words and after researching the incident, I feel like Production only did it because Jamar is black; Production wrongly pegged him as a thug and painted Vanessa as being a victim of a 'dangerous' person. Lots of people make comments all the time on Big Brother and lots of people also threaten each other on Big Brother; it's not like it's a new thing!
While I think threatening people is uncool, Jamar should have simply been given a warning to not repeat the behavior. Had any other Houseguest done the same thing, they would have been pulled into the Diary Room, given a stern warning, and then released back into the House. Because Jamar is black and Vanessa is a white blonde, however, the producers decided to be racist, unfairly label Jamar as a violent thug who was going to pop off at any moment, and throw him out without a second chance.
This has turned into yet another reality show where women are allowed to make fake #MeToo accusations to further their own position in the game without caring who it may hurt or the impact of doing that. There is NO DOUBT that the producers were being racist, as there are endless cameras and microphones everywhere and they could tell that Jamar wasn't overly serious. Even if he WAS serious, he should have only gotten a warning! This crap comes so soon after Survivor 39 that it's very clear that reality stars haven't learned their lesson about what is okay and not okay in terms of gameplay! If y'all remember, Missy and Elizabeth pretended that they were victims of Dan Spilo's inappropriate behavior in Survivor 39 and they were believed simply because they had said it happened. In reality, they were liars who spread that disgusting lie in order to further their games and they were never punished by CBS for it.
If Big Brother Canada is really going to condone people making fake #MeToo accusations as part of gameplay, perhaps they do not need a Season 9! I am disgusted that such evil behavior would now be allowed on a reality show given the events of Survivor 39! It's interesting to see how this show has taken a page from Survivor 39's book and is supporting players making fake #MeToo accusations in order to further their gameplay. Big Brother Canada, I HATE you now because you're supporting racist behavior and that is NOT okay!
