Big Brother's Braden is an Asshole and Idiot

Jul 19, 2009 16:07




As the first housemate evicted from Big Brother 11, California surfer Braden’s tenure in the house may not have lasted long, but he did manage to make some lasting impressions. His confrontation of Lydia, who he felt had betrayed him, was one for the books - and it led to a house-wide screaming match that left the remaining contestants split down the middle. - Reagan Alexander

You’re the first one out, which isn't exactly what you would call on honor. Were you surprised?
I’m not going to be pissed off about something I can’t do anything about. I’d rather be the first one out than the third or fourth one out. The sky’s the limit for me. It’s summertime and it’s my mom’s birthday next week. I have things to look forward to.

What was your downfall?
It’s called sabotage. Lydia and I were getting along great and she went behind my back to save her own ass. She went and told lies to Jessie and told the whole Jock crew that I was out to take them out and kill them.

Do you regret calling Lydia names?
Absolutely not. She’s gross-looking and she does weird things and she hangs out with old men and she’s tattooed from head-to-toe and I think she’s disgusting. I have no respect for her.

Kevin ran up to defend Lydia and you threw water on him. Do you regret that?
No. He’s flamboyantly gay and you can’t punch a gay guy, let alone push him. I just wanted him to get out of my face. It was like saying, “Shoo, button.”

You were trying to save yourself from being evicted. Was that the best strategy?
Absolutely not. At that point I was fed up with everything and I just felt, if I’m going to go out, I’m going out with a bang. And it worked. The whole house erupted all day long. I’m very proud of that. I did apologize for some of the words that I used … and they accepted my apology.

If they accepted your apology, why did Chima get up in the eviction pleas and call you a “bigot,” a “racist” and a “misogynist?”
She’s completely bipolar. She goes up and down all day long … She looks at you like she wants to kill you. She’s completely nuts.

Now that you know it was Ronnie who sold you out in the end, what are your feelings on the newest HOH?
People are going to realize that he totally blew the whole game for us. We had the whole strategy figured out and he blew it. He blew half the house’s plans, and people are going to get that it was Ronnie’s fault. And eventually they’ll go after him.

Who do you think is going to win Season 11?
I’d say Casey or Jeff. Casey is a teacher and he’s a genius who is smart and witty and on top of things and respectful. He’s neutral right now and he’s strategic. And Jeff, he’s a well-spoken man - like a governor. He holds himself very strong and he’s just a tight, all-around guy, so I think he has a chance.

CBS censors racial slur

What Chima said: "It amazes me how short some of the memory spans in here are, because my opponent here called both of my very good friends in the house "beaners". And he even called Julie a whore. Yes he did. And, so, a vote for Braden is a vote for a bigot.  Anyone who aligns himself with a racist and a misogynist--you deserve to go home."

It was the most memorable speech in "Big Brother" history, but fans didn't hear all of it.

Television viewers watching the "Big Brother 11" eviction episode Thursday only heard part of contestant Chima Simone's petition to stay on the voyeuristic CBS reality show.

Host Julie Chen later called it "the most memorable last plea speech we've ever heard."

But the audio cut out right as the 32-year-old freelance journalist referenced a derogatory term for people of Mexican descent that fellow nominee Braden Bacha, a 28-year-old model-actor, had used against two other contestants. Bacha's use of the term was also edited out.

Also censored was Simone saying that Bacha had used a sexually insulting word to describe host Chen, who also co-hosts "The Early Show."

Bacha was eliminated; Simone saved.

CBS said the statements were removed from the broadcast because they were offensive and did not meet the network's standards. Gay slurs slung by contestant Jeff Schroeder during an argument on Tuesday's episode were also left on the cutting room floor. The only place viewers could hear the heated words was on the show's live streaming Internet feed.

The network said in a statement Friday that "any views or opinions expressed in personal commentary by a houseguest appearing on 'Big Brother,' either on any live feed from the house or the broadcast, are those of the individuals speaking and do not represent the views or opinions of CBS or the producers of the program."

For 11 seasons, "Big Brother" has isolated contestants -- or houseguests, as they're referred to on the show -- from the outside world. They live under constant surveillance on a soundstage constructed to look like a house. Once a week, the contestants vote to evict each other in hopes of being the last houseguest standing and winning the $500,000 grand prize.

On Showtime 2's "Big Brother After Dark," an uncensored and unedited live broadcast of what's happening inside the house for three hours each night, Simone said the producers told her that her speech was censored. She also said she confronted producers about editing out the slurs.

"I said, I don't think it's fair because I don't think they showed when it first was said," Simone told her fellow houseguests during "Big Brother After Dark" following Thursday's live eviction episode on CBS. "And I was like, 'If someone's a racist, they should be portrayed as one. You shouldn't edit it to make them look good."'

"Big Brother" has a history of contestants who spew controversial slurs. Ninth season winner Adam Jasinski was fired from the United Autism Foundation after using an offensive word to refer to autistic children. Eighth season contestant Amber Siyavus ignited a firestorm outside the "Big Brother" house when she said Jewish people tend to be "really money-hungry" and "selfish."

Here's a video of Julie owning his dumbass for 15 minutes straight.  He's such an idiot and I bet he was even more nervous because he was just waiting for Julie to mention the fact that he called her a WHORE but no, Julie's too classy for that shit.  You go, Mrs. Moonves.
