big brother
Die Power Der Veto. We assumed a headline reading, "Hitler planned 'Big Brother' style television to broadcast Nazi propaganda," meant that the Nazi dictator was the John de Mol of his time. Turns out they were just talking about boring, old Orwell-style Big Brotherism: projections of the dictator speaking in public squares. It would have so much more fascinating to think Hitler was way ahead of the reality TV curve, with a plan to put a dozen Aryan out-of-work bartenders inside a house rigged by Leni Riefenstahl with hundreds of cameras, and broadcasting the ensuing bickering and hottübben shenanigans for an enraptured German population.

'Big Brother' Contestant April Loses The Game But Gains A Varsity Ring
We love nothing more than a fairy tale ending, and we got one on last night's Big Brother, when—amidst the tragedy of contestant April's ejection from their 24-hour surveillance Eden— surviving housemate and oral-sex-partner Ollie proposed..um...popping his relationship cherry? Prodded by host Julie Chen, who had already been given a fat dossier on the pair's budding romance which included a number of X-ray stills from their quilt-covered shenanigans, Ollie extolled the many virtues of the Arizona auto-financing manager, then announced, "I got a question for you: Will you be my first girlfriend? I want an answer from you the second I get out of this house." CBS would be fools not to capitalize on the event, mounting a lavish Ollie and April's Going Steady Ceremony primetime special upon which no expense would be spared. More » -

Big Brother's Great Grandpa Will Mess You Up, Son
ยท And now for some non-earthquake-related Big Brother rumbles: In one corner, we have 75-year-old contestant (and the oldest person on CBS since Murder, She Wrote), Jerry. In the other, we have professional "mixologist" Memphis, precisely one-third Jerry's age. We won't tell you how it plays out, except to say so long as you're glimpsing three-quarters-of-a-century-old armpit, Jerry's winning. [Big Brother] More »

'Big Brother' Houseguests Bravely Battle Earthquake with Torrent of 'Omigawds,' Stripping
Following a 5.4 earthquake that dealt most of its damage to people's Facebook status updates ("Jim is: EARTHQUAKE!"), it was only natural to wonder how the tremor might have affected the city's old, its infirm, and its Big Brother 10 residents. Fortunately, the Hollywood Reporter can help us out on at least one of those fronts: its video update reveals that the Big Brother houseguests bypassed the "Is that a truck? Oh, wait..." stage experienced by most Los Angelenos, instead rushing out into the backyard to doff their clothes and trade "Omigawds." Video after the jump. More »

Do They Keep The Editors Of 'Big Brother' Trapped In That House, Too?
The second installment of our newish feature, Scrambled Eggs, comes to us courtesy of an eagle-eyed friend of Defamer, People Paula. But before we get into the contents of the clip at hand, we'll give you a quick refresher on what exactly makes a Scrambled Egg. It's a term we invented to describe those glorious moments that happen in television shows when a bored (or possibly stoned) editor cuts an inexplicable and altogetherly out-of-context image into a scene, likely as an inside joke for themselves. Got it? Good. More »

There Is No Nighttime Sex Act That Escapes The All-B.J.-Seeing 'Big Brother' Eye
With the fumigation circus tent removed from the Big Brother house on the Radford lot, every stubborn germ, virus, and parasite from the last batch of contestants effectively snuffed, we're now ready for another round of the hit CBS reality series. And while there was certainly nothing broke with the show's last incarnation—who doesn't love watching 16 off-duty bartenders stand around a kitchen island sharing Jew-spotting tips?—they've tweaked Season 9 considerably. Big Brother: 'Til Death Do You Part pits eight teams of two against one another: all couples. And by that we mean, sex-having couples. More » -

Mike 'Boogie' Malin Fails To Fly After Tumbling Through Les Deux Skylight
To the casual onlooker, Mike "Boogie" Malin leads an existence worth coveting: a self-made nightlife entrepreneur with first pick of the aspiring-starlet veal, Malin is perhaps most famous for quarantining himself on national TV and walking away from the experience $1 million richer. But there's an ugly underside to life in the Hollywood fast lane, strewn with suspicious growths, nights in Denver jail, partners accused of rape, and now, courtesy of Eater LA, this: More » -

Amber Reminds Us Not To Hate The Jew, Just Hate The Jewish Player
As much as we hoped it might happen, we never really anticipated Big Brother 8 breakout anti-Semite/anti-Manhattanite Amber Siyavus would be subjected to a montage of her greatest hate-mongering hits on Tuesday night's finale. Still, we assumed reporters would have jumped on the opportunity to get her to further clarify her theories about the "money-hungry" peoples, easily identifiable by their noses, surnames, and love of the Mets. Only Reality News Online, however, was successful in getting Siyavus to address her Gibsonian sentiments: More » -

Amber's 'Big Brother' Exit Interview Suggests She Wasn't All That She Seemed
Among Big Brother's cast of dim-bulbed reality TV cretins obsessed with the utterly meaningless Golden Power of Head of Veto, it was contestant Amber, whom we first discovered after she made some extremely controversial statements about Jewish New York Americans, who most drew us in. But something in this post-finale interview (Tommy Lee lifestyle-aspirant "Evil" Dick Donato won, if you care) led us to wonder if Amber really was the bipolar Jew-hating illiterate she skillfully presented for the cameras, as she managed to make it to the end of the interview without once cursing the mistrustful Chosen People, bursting into tears, or asking what 25 cent words like "intuition" and "empathetic" meant before using them appropriately in a sentence.

In the topsy-turvy, camera-hungry world in which reality television stars exist, there is no development too insignificant or embarrassing to prevent it from playing out on national TV. Mike "Boogie" Malin, self-made entrepreneur behind The Dolce Group restaurants, winner of Big Brother: All-Stars, and jack shack vampire, is certainly no exception, having parlayed the discovery of a suspicious bump on his penis into a full segment on E!'s Dr. 90210 last night.

Shocking New 'BB8' Footage Reveals Amber Might Not Be Smartest Guest in the House
Since previously posted YouTube clips cut together from Big Brother 8's unflinching Intolerance Cam have proved so popular of late (as well as the brilliant Better Know A Bias chart that helps fans sort through the houseguests' complicated matrix of prejudices), we're happy to pass along another sure crowd-pleaser centered around Amber's inability to comprehend difficult, multisyllabic words like "superficial," "integrity," and "outing." The posting of the montage is a bold play by Amber fans, who hope to save their favorite contestant from possible elimination this week by trying to exploit an obscure Big Brother bylaw that prohibits the elimination of anyone not mentally advanced enough to understand what's happening to them.

The Big Chart Of BB8 Biases
If, after reviewing the footage captured by Big Brother 8's exclusive Intolerance Cam, you still find yourself unclear about the specific prejudices of the show's houseguests, we recommend that you study the Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot. blog's illuminating, meticulously constructed "Better Know a Big Brother 8 Bias" chart. If we were the betting kind, we'd put our money on Tommy Lee doppleganger Dick to win it all; his position at the center of the chart seems to indicate that he's the best equipped to form a staggering variety of alliances based on ignorance about virtually any race, gender, or creed.
