Big Brother 9's Matt: 'America doesn't like gay people'

Big Brother 9's Matt is proving himself to be more of a bigot douchebag with every hour that goes by in the Big Brother house. Yesterday on the show's live internet feeds, the housemates were discussing some troublemaking by gay housemate Joshuah (who is also proving to be quite the douchebag), when Matt pulled this remark out of his ass (around the 8:55 mark in the clip AFTER THE JUMP):

"America doesn't Like gay people. That's why gay marriage isn't allowed. No offense I love gay people, don't get me wrong. I have gay friends but I don't like that motherfucker downstairs."

Last week, Matt told the house, "That fucking fag, I'll send his faggot ass home!"

As a side note, Matt does not reserve his slurs only for gay people.

*Note: if you're not interested in Big Brother kindly move along to the next post. Thanks.

Live Feeds Reveal Yet Another Big Brother 9 Homophobe: Matt

GuyTV Blog uncovers yet another homophobe in the Big Brother house. Not that we're surprised.

GuyTVBlog: "Uh oh! Matt just found out about the 'ladies' of the house, Sheila, Sharon, James, Joshuah wanting to get to Ryan to backdoor him. Once he found out this plan was created by Joshuah and Sharon Matt utters...'That fucking fag, I'll send his faggot ass home!'"

Joshuah was previously the target of a slur from housemate Adam, who said on the live feeds that Josh was a "faggot" who should "go back to the gay bar."

Big Brother 9's Housemates on Entering from the Rear

Last night on Big Brother 9's live feed, gay housemate Joshuah attempted to educate James, Chelsia, and Sharon on the ins and outs (so to speak) of gay sex. He also spreads some misinformation about protecting oneself from HIV:

"I do bareback with my boyfriend. We've both been tested for HIV and we're both negative so it's cool. I only do that with my boyfriend. I don't do that on a random one night stand. That's too risky. If you're a top it's okay because you can't really get HIV from being the top because you're penetrating them..."

James, however, appeared not to need much education.

View the clip, AFTER THE JUMP (warning: NSFW - also very crude language)...

Begins around the 3:00 mark.

Big Brother 9's Neil Garcia Explains What a Twink Is

As you may remember, gay Big Brother 9 housemate Neil Garcia left the house abruptly for reasons that have not been revealed.

Presumably he made these five "instructional" videos for WeHoPedia TV before his Big Brother stint, because I'm not sure I would call this gig something to run out the door for.

In the video below, Neil provides basic instruction on what a "twink" is:

"Twink is a gay term describing an attractive young or younger gay man, usually in his late teens or early 20's. He's got a slender build and little to no body hair. The term twink is often modified by various descriptors such as the 'butch' twink, 'femme' twink, 'euro' twink, and the 'muscle' twink! The term is an allusion to the Twinkie pastry which is golden or blond on the outside, with cream on the inside, and is pleasantly sweet but with little nutritional value. There is a 'backronym' that states twink stands for teenaged, white, into no kink. Although none of these things are either necessary or sufficient for being a twink. Thanks for watching WeHoPedia TV. I'm your host, Neil Garcia."

NOTE: I was having an issue running the videos with some browsers, particularly Safari.

AFTER THE JUMP, four more videos about West Hollywood, and the terms "Bisexual Chic", "Questioning", and "Bi Curious".

Big Brother 9's Adam Refers to Housemate Joshuah as a "Faggot"

Big Brother's bigoted bigmouth Adam Jasinski scored another one for the losers last night when he referred to gay contestant Joshuah on the live feeds as a "faggot" who should "go back to the gay bar."

Previous remarks by Adam, in which he referred to autistic children as "retards", prompted Loews to pull its advertising from the show as well as demands from Autism United that Adam be terminated immediately and the show be canceled.

A Message from Big Brother 9's Gay Boy Neil

Check it out, AFTER THE JUMP...

[[WARNING: SPOILERS]]

As I told you earlier in the week, Neil has left the Big Brother house. That hasn't been revealed on the show yet.

Yesterday, Neil released the following message:

"Thank you so much for the outpouring care, support, and concern from all the BIG BROTHER fans. This has been a difficult time for my family, which I am dealing with privately. The drama is slowly being resolved, and all is headed to a brighter place.

"I am now happy to say, that I am spending time with close friends and family. I wish Joshuah the best of luck and hope that he keeps up our brilliant strategy to win the big prize with my replacement, Sharon. Please know that I will NOT be back to the BIG BROTHER house and contrary to some web speculation, I was not let go for health reasons. Eeek! Again, thanks to each and every one of you for your support during all of this Big Brother business.

"All my Love,

"Neil Garcia, BIG BROTHER 9

"P.S. -Shit Happens- >: O"

So there you have it.

Big Brother 9 Sees its First Naughty After Dark Action

This year's Big Brother 9 was positioned as a veritable love fest as couples are paired up with 'soul mates' whom they sleep with every single night. No doubt the set-up has the potential of providing viewers of the live feeds some hot and heavy after dark action, which was what they got last night.

Matt received a special under-the-covers favor from his partner Natalie. He's totally aware he's doing it for the cameras too as he gives them a big smile when he's finished.

Clips AFTER THE JUMP, plus A SPOILER. Though there's no nudity, given the audio the clips are probably not safe to watch at work.

It's too bad Neil and Joshuah were split up so early, considering they already had a kiss in before Neil left voluntarily.

However, there are rumors floating about that Matt "is bisexual and very open about it."

Shock Overnight Developments for Gay Team on Big Brother 9

For those of you who have been watching Big Brother 9 (which has been pretty great so far) some rather stunning developments happened after last night's show on the live feeds concerning gay team Neil and Joshuah.

SPOILERS - Do not read any further if you don't want to read SPOILERS...

AFTER the jump...

When the live feeds came on last night. Neil was gone, and Joshuah was seen packing Neil's suitcase and crying. No explanation was given.

Via GuyTVBlog: "It turns out that one of the guys, I can't remember who, reveals to other houseguests that Joshuah and Neil had their FIRST KISS in the kitchen earlier last night. Then sometime later Neil gets called into the Diary Room and is apparently told something, no one knows for sure. He NEVER comes back into the house. Joshuah is then called into the Diary Room and is told that his partner Neil is no longer part of the game. Allison Grodner, Big Brother 9's Executive Producer, apparently told Joshuah that he now has to pick between eliminated houseguests Jacob or Sharon to be his new partner. Joshuah makes his pick and then leaves the Diary Room. The houseguests are gathered in the living room and are told that Neil is no longer part of the game. No one is talking about the reason but Neil is OUT. They then tell the houseguests that a replacement player will enter the house. Everyone at this point apparently shouted out with happiness except Joshuah, being highly emotional, is fucking livid that everyone has quickly forgotten about Neil. So in walks Joshuah's replacement... Sharon! Joshuah escapes to the bedroom where he and Neil slept together for the game and starts packing Neil's personal belongings, as instructed. Later in the night we find out from Joshuah that when he walked into the Diary Room that Neil's cup and microphone was left on the couch. Joshuah is upset that he didn't even get to say goodbye to Neil. Joshuah also reveals he was crying for about 20 minutes while the BB people were asking for Joshuah to make a decision as to who he wanted to be his new partner. Around dinner time Joshuah is still so emotional that he can not eat with his houseguests so he goes into the Sauna room to eat by himself, of course later he is joined by one of his alliance members, Chelsia. At one Chelsia tells Joshuah... "God I hope everything is okay with him... It's going to be so weird, everyone was sitting there and Neil was like 'Oh Hey!' in his Gay Little Voice!" BITCH! Joshuah doesn't take the comment personally because he's just this huge emotional trainwreck."

Boo! I do not like this development.

More here with a few screencaps.

Silly Hamsters blog reports that apparently Neil's reason for leaving had something to do with his family and was voluntary.

The Democrat would play the role of Jesse Jackson – a trailblazer that will lose badly, but earn respect and lay the groundwork for the future. This sacrificial lamb will be known as "the gay candidate," so when our gay Obama is finally ready – he or she can transcend sexual orientation and win – or lose – on the merits. It is also crucial we run a credible Republican, in order to articulate the case for gay rights in front of conservative audiences. This not only would make the other candidates uncomfortable in their gay bashing, but this candidate could serve as a role model."

Short story writer, poet, and activist Grace Paley has died after a battle with breast cancer, at 84: "A published writer since the 1950s, Paley released only a handful of books over the next half century, mostly short stories and poems. Writing was a passion, but not a compulsion: She never felt the need to put every experience into words. Her fiction, although highly praised, competed for time with work, activism, family and friends. 'None of it happened, and yet every word of it is true,' she once said of her fiction.

Big Brother 8 Uncensored

For those who aren't already aware that there's an entirely different version of Big Brother that goes unbroadcast, here's a bigotry sampler from the live feeds.

More from Reality Blurred: "Meanwhile, in a very recent conversation, some of the houseguests reveal more about being “harassed” by the Diary Room producers. “I was definitely, like, harassed into saying things today that I did not want to say,” Dustin says. Jameka says, “Harassed? What do you mean? DR? It’s horrible. It’s that one. She makes you say stuff, and I’m like, I don’t want to say that, and I’m not going to.” As if to prove their point that something nefarious is going on and the producers have something to hide, someone pulls the plug on the live feeds at that exact moment. The show is called Big Brother, after all."

Big Brother 8 Gaywatch: Nick the Trick?

WARNING: SPOILERS

Nick Starcevic's activities (as edited by CBS for primetime) in the Big Brother 8 house have mainly consisted of striking up competing flirtatious relationships with some of the women, even strategically isolating one of them (Jen) among the other housemates by confronting her for making the false claim he was trying to kiss her.

Yet the BB8 internet feeds tell a slightly different tale. If he's not gay, then Nick appears to be doing a great job of at least placing that question in his housemates' minds. Nick's definitely a player, comfortable with allowing gay housemates Joe and Dustin to dry hump and massage him (below), respectively.

But the latest dish is the clip below in which Nick tells Zach and Dick that he has a "top 5" list of men with whom he would have sex. Later, he discussed the list with his "showmance" Danielle.

Sure, we like Ryan Reynolds too. Big Brother is, of course, a game of strategy, so the truth may be far from what we're seeing, but thankfully in the meantime what we're seeing is pretty easy on the eyes.

Big Brother 8's Nick Starcevic Plays the Gay Angle

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

This year's Big Brother has already got me hooked. Last week a fresh crop of new talent debuted in this year's version of the summer reality show and while there are two out gay men (former boyfriends who now hate each other) positioned as rivals in the house, there's a hunky wild card that folks have their eye on, particularly those who have subscribed to the show's live 24-hour internet feed.

Nick Starcevic, a former college and pro football player, fitness model, and Abercrombie & Fitch store manager, has not only made the hot tub admission that he has performed oral sex on a guy, he's been caught on the cameras spooning Joe, one half of the gay former couple. While contestants in the past have been known to work the gay angle to curry favor, the strategies here have gotten off to a fast and furious start.

Nick's oral sex admission...

And Joe's little piece of heaven.

UPDATE: There are now whispers around the blogosphere that Nick may have appeared in an adult film from Next Door Male, or at least has a double. WARNING: Very NSFW shots  here.
