Amber Reminds Us Not To Hate The Jew, Just Hate The Jewish Player

Seth — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 14:00:55 EDT

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:

RNO: Is there anything else you want to tell us about your time in the Big Brother house? [...]

Amber: I made a comment when I was upset with Eric — I made it about Jewish people and people from New York. I just want to tell the people I offended that I am very sorry. I did not mean to offend anybody and I was upset with Eric at the time. Being upset, people tend to say things they don't mean.
That came from a really bad place, and from the bottom of my heart, I am truly sorry — I send my apologies to anyone I offended. I don't like to hurt people's feelings. The words just came out and I was upset with Eric. I have friends that are Jewish and friends from New York. I am not prejudiced and I am truly truly truly sorry.

As public apologies for temporary attacks of involuntary bigotry go, Amber's seems as heartfelt as they come: We suspect her best Jewish and New York-based friends would readily back up her claims that her hurtful words were merely spoken in retaliation to the backstabbing, money-hungry tactics of America's Fiendish Jew Player Eric (whose sanded devil horns—interested side note!—became plainly visible after he spontaneously shaved his head down to a mohawk).

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.

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.

Contestant Forgets That Big Brother 8's New 'Intolerance Cam' Is Always Watching

· We'll admit to not watching enough Big Brother 8 to tell this Amber person from Mike Boogie, but we nonetheless find her unedited thoughts on Jewish people (and her clumsy attempt to uncover the identity of America's Secret Jew, apparently one of the new season's exciting plot twists) quite fascinating. We think a special Tolerance Challenge might be in the houseguests' future.
· Sad news: Rosario Dawson will probably not be in the Porno film Kevin Smith wrote for her.
· Happy news: Chris Rock is not that kid's daddy.
· The Bel-Air Beverly Crest Neighborhood Council helpfully tells the Hillside Burglars where all the cops will be hanging out on Thursday night.
· Being the victim of a Britney Spears fender-bender is probably not the best way to use up one's 15 minutes of fame.
