The Official "Big Brother 12" Discussion Thread!

[Sgt Pepper]

Enzo say's "I wouldn't say it". Lane starts back peddling and Enzo says "You said the F-Bomb, not me". Lane tries to recover by saying "I've got friends that are gay, so". Enzo says "I've got alot of friends that are gay, I actually hang out with gay people, I think they're hilarious, I would NEVER call them them the F-Bomb, It's not in my vocabulary. Like the N-word, I would never say that, it's how I was raised". Lane gets pissy and says "You saying I was raised wrong? Enzo trys calming him down and says "sometimes it just slips out and you can just be fucking around" Lane says "yea joking". Lane is visibly irritated at being schooled by Enzo.

I like Enzo even more now after that exchange. He isn't armed with intellectual and academic jargon and yet he manages to say it simply and correctly: "I would never use the N word or the F word" with the tacit conclusion being, "Because I'm a white, straight man." Exactly Enzo, good for you.

It sounds so obvious but it's actually surprising how many people who don't consider themselves racist or homophobic still think it's OK to use these words because, "Some black people/gay people call each other that" (paging "Dr" Laura) without comprehending that words are not democratic, and who uses them -- especially in dominant culture/minority culture relationships -- matters. If a Black person uses the N word that DOES NOT mean a white person can use it in the same way. Same with the F word in relation to gays/straights.

And Lane's response is the knee-jerk lame-o reply of bigots: "I have [insert minority] friends." God Lane, at least use a line that your grandparents didn't use too.

I take comfort in the fact that Lane is guaranteed to lose to Hayden or Enzo.

^^^^^ Just looking and listening to Lane you just know he is a red neck bigot and homophobe.

Yea it is totally not surprising in the least. I'm only surprised it hadnt come out sooner. And why do racist/homophobe people even start with that lie. "I have *blank* friends. No fucking don't Lane. You have never said a kind word to a person who you knew was gay. That's prolly why he avoided any possible interaction with Ragan. He didnt want anything to slip out. Tbh I'd prolly avoid Ragan too.

I love when he's making excuses and he says it slips out. It only slips out if it something you are used to saying fool. I wonder if Hayden was really bothered or just bothered by how it made Lane look.

It's the Mel Gibson defense.

 

[Adrock-JD]

Well, that narrows down my list to Enzo and Hayden for the final two.

I suspected as much when Lane was the first person this season to say he wanted Ragan out of the house. It seemed to come out of nowhere that early on. That's when Matt the rat said he wouldn't put Ragan up but he would vote him out.

Oh, Matt, you're such an angel. Your "friends" must be so lucky.

 

[joesman]

It's the Mel Gibson defense.

Hayden wasn't bothered because he laughed several times. When he told Enzo that Lane had lost fans he walked toward the door laughing. That's when Lane sat down and Enzo proceeded to embarrass him without being nasty. Enzo just said he lived with all kinds of people when Lane said he had gay friends. Enzo said he hung out with gay people and thought they were hilarious. Lane sits there, his face red and then wants to know how many people watch SHO AD, Enzo told him probably not too many at this late date. Hayden comes in and Lane asks him about how many watch SHO AD and Hayden said maybe 10,000 or more. Lane's face kind of dropped.


It was a thing of beauty to see the embarrassment on Lane's face and Enzo's dead serious "It's not in my vocabulary." I have to say that Enzo surprised the hell out of me, and it made his family moments during the last show much more entertaining and looking at the guests in his house, I believe him.

 

[Sgt Pepper]

Well, that narrows down my list to Enzo and Hayden for the final two.

And that's pretty much the one combination that won't happen since only Hayden or Lane can win the last HOH and Hayden is not taking Enzo.

That match up would be more genuinely intriguing though.

 

[diamondstar]

Lane used the word Faggot today. OK...So I'm watching BB after dark and Hayden reads the label on the protein powder out loud. Hayden say's "Mega Men Energy". Lane is microwaving some pizza and starts rhyming with what Hayden said. Lane says "Saga men, Faggot men, maggot men". Hayden say's "You lost fans" and Lane says "Yea, I felt that". Enzo says "what happened?". Hayden says "He just lost fans. Lane says "I lost at least a thousand right there, thats how I play black jack, you loose some and you gain some.....But they know how I am...so". Enzo say's "I wouldn't say it". Lane starts back peddling and Enzo says "You said the F-Bomb, not me". Lane tries to recover by saying "I've got friends that are gay, so". Enzo says "I've got alot of friends that are gay, I actually hang out with gay people, I think they're hilarious, I would NEVER call them them the F-Bomb, It's not in my vocabulary. Like the N-word, I would never say that, it's how I was raised". Lane gets pissy and says "You saying I was raised wrong? Enzo trys calming him down and says "sometimes it just slips out and you can just be fucking around" Lane says "yea joking". Lane is visibly irritated at being schooled by Enzo.

Hilarious

Oh Lane, will U ever learn.

 

[Sgt Pepper]

Lane, Cowboy, Jordan...I know I shouldn't stereotype but seriously: are there even schools in the South?

 

[Salemite]

I lost a bit of respect for Lane when I heard him talking about the "8 second" game that he and his friends like to play back home. This isn't a word-for-word quote, but this is basically what he said...

"The 8 second game is where I sweet talk a girl all night, do whatever it takes to get her up to my room... I'll get her naked, we start fucking... then all my buddies bust into the room and I have to hold her down for eight seconds so she can't move or cover herself up while everybody watches."

 

[bobobo]

Excuse the snarky response, but "a bit"?

 

[Adrock-JD]

And that's pretty much the one combination that won't happen since only Hayden or Lane can win the last HOH and Hayden is not taking Enzo.

That match up would be more genuinely intriguing though.

This is true. I have a feeling that Lane will loose next to Hayden. Lane has too much money for the jury to consider giving him 500k over him.

That's what I'm hoping, anyway.

 

[Yeehaw]

Lane will lose either way, btw is tonight's recap ep worth watching?

 

[Aratron]

This whole season has been a disaster.

I hate pretty much every person in the cast, minus Britney and maybe Matt. I think Grodner got scared with Chima's shenanigans last summer and she decided to cast a bunch of lame ass boring people as a result. Heaven forbid we get anyone with an actual personality. Britney and Matt were the only two who actually showed signs of life. Minus those two, this entire cast has been the definition of milquetoast. Monet who? Kristen who? Kathy who? Everyone was afraid to make moves and they were all terrified of confrontation. Everyone played under the radar and they pretty much yawned their way through the whole summer. (Just like me.)

You just described Rachel here but you didn't mention her. Just because you didn't like her it doesn't mean she didn't stand out. She was the star of the season imo.

 

[CenaOrtonlover]

As much as I can't stand her Rachel did save this season because without her there would have been zero confrontation.

I wonder if Ragan has been blowing Matt in the Jury house I wonder if that has ever happened in past jury houses too. Anyone have any jury house dirt?

 

[Kensei]

Lane, Cowboy, Jordan...I know I shouldn't stereotype but seriously: are there even schools in the South?

Never seen cowboy, but don't forget classic Ollie. "I fucking hate faggots." How Christian of him.

I'm bugged a bit now by Lane, but that's the culture in the south of the US in the bible belt. It's a word that has to be phased out with the generation I believe. If it ever does.

Regarding Enzo, my respect for him sky rocketed. I'm really happy he corrected Lane. Respect for that and to Hayden as well.

Anyone have a screen cap of Lanes face dropping when he found out about the 10k fans watching?

 

[Callum]

Lane, Cowboy, Jordan...I know I shouldn't stereotype but seriously: are there even schools in the South?

Uh...Vanderbilt, Rice, Duke...

No. Come to think of, there really isn't.

 

[Adrock-JD]

I just heard that Socks (Kathy's sock monkey she left behind in the house) has hung himself in the HOH room. Apparently, he just couldn't take it anymore.

 

[Adrock-JD]

Lane, Cowboy, Jordan...I know I shouldn't stereotype but seriously: are there even schools in the South?

Yes, but our curriculum is somewhat different.

For instance, you can major in Sportin' Goods with a minor in Huntin' or Fishin'

"He's from L.A. ...... Lower Alabama."

 

[diamondstar]

Not an opinion a FACT! No one will ever admit, but Rachel was the reason U watched this seasons Big Brother. Rachel was the life of the party and once she left, BB twelve was a snoozefest.

 

[falconfan]

This implies I did watch this season of Big Brother. Rachel AND the rest of them are the reason this is the worst season they've every had. It was an all around dud cast. Perhaps in a more dynamic cast she could've been a decent villainess but that hardly means she "saved" the season as so many people try to say. The season wasn't saved. It burned in flames. It would be like if they took everyone but Ivette from season 6 and replaced them with planks of wood. Ivette would've been the most noteworthy contestant but she'd still be Ivette.
